Excellent position to have, glad I was wrong earlier.

Reckon we're in for a fairly decent finish, depending on the profile the two lads have built up in the Eastrn countries from last year we could be in with a shout at winning. Unlikely, but we've a shot.

Haven't heard many of the acts in semi final #2, so maybe I'll be wowed by another, but as of now I'm still tipping Sweden, depending on whether she can do a decent live performance of that song.

The optimism paid off! ;-)

Wow...reading threw these posts about the draw and positions.

Different Leyla Aliyeva was presenting tonight. Just a namesake of the president's daughter.

The first 3 songs on Saturday are UK, Hungary and Albania. I think I'll be tuning in at half eight.

They are positive proof to Europe that despite Ireland's woes we are able to entertain and compete with the best in Europe. I will be encouraging my many family and friends around Europe to vote for Jedward!
I have no idea why anyone would want those two talentless retards to succeed. They are examples of mediocrity and stupidity, by all rights their citizenship should be revoked so we never have to suffer their presence in this country again.

Love to see the lads do well but I am not mad on the song. Last year's song was a deal better I thought.

Crawl back under your rock. It's folks like you who always see the wrong and the negative and cannot embrace a bit of goodwilll, banter and fun that are examples of stupidity.

They aren't doing anyone any harm, are clean living so far (good example to their young fans) and we know they will try and do their best for Ireland, whether one likes them or not...

I don't really care, they make me laugh, and I hope they do well. There doesn't appear to be any malice in them.

And there are far worse ways to be.

Bahhhhhhhhhhhh

I was a bit confused alright, as I noticed she was considerably less attractive than the woman presenting.. I thought the makeup team had just pulled out all the stops..

Go away and take some more prozac, there are some of us that like to celebrate real talent and aren't afraid to call things as they are and don't pretend that things are good when they aren't. Jedward are morons and the country should be ashamed of producing two people as mentally vacant as they are.
