Jedward/Eurovision for ireland?

    In what may be a covert bid to end cordial relations in the eurozone for once and for all, Ireland could be sending Jedward to Germany. The 56th annual Eurovision song contest is due to take place in Düsseldorf on the 14th May next and Ireland have put Jedward on the short-list to attend and compete for them.

    However they have to progress past the national qualifying stage of the competition at home first. This will see them competing next month on Irish television against four other acts and the result will based on a combination of public outrage sorry, voting and jury selection.

    Who knows how far they could go then? Disposable annoying novelty act to win the Eurovision song contest? Surely not. The very notion.

    Ireland has always been a Embarrisment in the eurovision.

    As a heterosexual man, I'm uncomfortable discussing the Eurovision.

    Who is responsible for these two retards still being on TV? Why do RTE continue to shove them in our faces?

    Great! Like all recent Irish Eurovision entries, they'll lose so humiliatingly we'll never hear from them again.

    we should get Michael O Leary from ryanair, and he could sing the fly ryanair song. :D

    ...Or maybe their songs will go on for ever like Abba! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 105 ✭✭james098


    lol they would probably win lol:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,379 ✭✭✭CarrickMcJoe


    I don't mind sending Jedward to Germany,

    What I do mind is them coming back.

    It would be a guaranteed 12 points from the UK teeanage girl populace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 700 ✭✭✭nommm


    I think they could potentially do well with a good song. Nobody in Europe will know that Simon Cowell said they couldn't sing. I actually went to see them in the panto over the Christmas and I was suprised to find they were actually good. All they need is a good pop song and they'll do great.

    i hate people who say they are d4s they are idiots from lucan who have da weirdest accents ever not posh or d4 or american just a weird wannabe accent

    I think Jed and Ed would have a great chance to bring this prestigeous prize back home to Ireland where it belongs
    A wonderful success story two lovable lads.
    If they win an open top bus should be the order of the day, and to be forever immortialised on RTE.
    Best of luck to them is what I say.
    Maybe Dana writing a song about the life of Darling of RTE and the tradigies felt by all those who used to give an ear each morning of their menopause when the Prince of the Airwaves used to smooth his way into their lives.

    can we just not take part?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,619 ✭✭✭ilovesleep


    Ireland is already the laughing stock of the world. We are slaves for Europe. And we take it all lying down.

    Please let us die with dignity. Dont send jedward. Dont do eurovision anymore.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    I think we should send them. They would do well. The eurovision is really camp anyway and they would fit right in.
    We might actually do well.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    Hell with Jedward, I say we send the Rubberbandits. If we send enough ridiculous joke acts eventually they'll stop inviting us and we won't have to put up with it anymore.

    Ireland has always been a Embarrisment in the eurovision.

    Ireland has won the competition SEVEN times, which is more than any other country in the competition's 54 year lifetime. This includes our three-year winning streak ('92, '93 and '94), again a feat unmatched by any of our competitors.

    However, I agree that we haven't submitted good entries for years, and I'd really rather Jedward didn't represent our nation.

    They will be awful and it will be car crash television. Eurovision may be camper than Elton John but most countries still have somebody who is somewhat decent at singing or who can put on a show. Whereas Jedward are two prancing morons who can't sing or dance. Lots of people were saying Dustin would win too as it would be "funny". I somehow can't see those two goms winning when they come up against a bevvy of Eastern European hotties who can actually sing and'or dance.

    Edit: I sound waaaaay too serious about Eurovision there! Don't worry I don't really care, I just don't ever want to see Jedward ever again!

    Put Jedward+Eurovision into Google and you get all manner of sources ranging from RTE and BBC talking about it.

    Why use someone else's opinion? have you not got your own?

    Charter breach, the next one will result in a ban.
