I actually seen that happening on channel 4, I just thought it was one of their dance moves.

Jedward can sing and dance

You could be wide open for correction on that statement, I've never seen them do either. They wouldn't win a Karaoke contest for singing let alone a dance off at a convention for the blind.

...Personally I'd prefer my kids to make decent honest hard-working lives for themselves than to be exposed to the world for being nothing more than a couple of talentless feather-brains who won a lottery of sorts. I don't think this pair should be congratulated just for being the clowns who get to fill this particular niche for the next 12 months until the new flavour of the year is decided upon.

I've nothing against them personally. I'm just opposed to the fact that we live in a world where mediocrity gets to be celebrated in the first place.

Thats a very fair comment and I agree with it a lot to be truthful.
However if it wasn't Jedward that was doing this irrelevant stuff, it would sadly be someone else.
As it is, I prefer them to do it and meanwhile they are setting one example that its possible to do it without having to expose oneself, sniff drugs, party all night till one falls in the street (Lohan/Spears) and so on...

While they are clearly not the best in the entertainment world and in 5 years time might be still on our screens in a show or two, at least what they are doing now - is the lesser of not two but many evils.

Edward is probably on his hospital bed as we speak penning his Autobiography.

All those screaming girls at the concert? You can be damn sure! :pac:

Awesome-O · 05-07-2010 12:28PM

I completely agree with everything Biggins said, I'd much rather my children turn to something like what Jedward are doing then sitting at home on the dole like some many students fresh from school or college at doing at the moment, because they have heard there's a recession so can't be bothered even trying to look for a job.

Unlike a lot of people Jedward are doing a job that they love and they put 200% into every performance they doing, having seen them live in Croke Park I can completely appreciate this and really am not surprised one of them injured himself with all the energy they put into their performances.
True they are not great singers, but I am one of the people who would much rather pay to see a great all round performance, singing, dancing, interacting with the audience, having fun rather than an act standing in the middle of the stage miming their way through a concert with minimal movement, I would much rather listen to a CD for this.

And as further proof of their professionalism and dedication, after his fall Edward got back onto his one good foot and carried on, as someone has already posted, pity the English team hadn't shown such dedication to their cause during the world cup!!

All the best to Edward, lets hope he's back in top form for their roles in the Cinderella pantomime at Christmas

KittyeeTrix · 05-07-2010 12:29PM

Aw the poor thing, hope he's not too hurt:(

Talk about tough..you could barely tell he was hurt! :P

cocalolaman · 05-07-2010 12:50PM

I was hoping he'd injure the leg even more after he continued..

we can blame simon cowell for that, its only thanks to him that talentless people like jedward and cheryl cole are celebrated

STUPID thread title, got my ****ing hopes up..

fergalr · 05-07-2010 01:48PM

Hey,

Look, I'm not a fan of Jedward - I've nothing against them, they do their thing, but they are aimed at a different demographic.

In that video, the guy clearly hurts his leg, pretty badly, around 30 seconds in. He's obviously injured, but does his best to keep it going, limping, to continue the performance.
He even falls over with the pain/injury, two minutes in.
He still keeps going. All the way to the end of the act. Doing his best, and obviously in a lot of pain.

You mightn't like the singing. It might have been unwise of him to continue on the leg, after an injury.

But you've got to have at least a grudging respect for the guy enduring that. That was a display of guts, and gutting it out under pressure, and showed a resilience that I don't think you'd get from many of the celebrities they are usually lumped in with.

Full marks in the category of 'the-show-must-go-on'. Hope the leg heals ok.

Jut what I was going to say. Can't stand them either but fair ****s to him for continuing on. I could only imagine the pain he was in....sore dose!

Jed Ward is such a stupid name, they should have named him Jedi.

Their parents should of named them Peter and Rick.

I disagree. What is dancing and singing when you have the likes of Mary Coughlan
and Shane McGowan and Bono as singers. Then you have that sham, Boyzone,
where one can sing and the rest just tag along having a laugh.

Jedward can sing and dance, but most importantly, they can entertain and perform and are full of enthusiasm. They put on a show. I am not one bit surprised that one of them has been injured. The energy and bounce they put into their routines is unreal. I always noticed that from their X Factor shows, how full of bounce and lift and
energy they were...

Bono was/still is a pretty good singer, McGowan mightn't be much of a singer but he was a pretty good songwriter.

Jedward can sing and dance, badly.

at the end of the day,he didn't nearly die.

Wow fair play to him for battling on. That was heroic.

bonerm · 05-07-2010 02:45PM

Monkey-boy probably would have got a whipping from the manager afterwards if he hadn't continued.

I do have to laugh at the knocking they get.

Here we have two lads who can't sing, can't dance, have girls falling at their feet, making loads of money and living it up.

...And they get knocked!

Lets be real, they could be any single Irish bloke according to the first part of the above description.
They just had the gaul to step up and chance their arm.

Fair fcuks to them I say! LOL

well actually most irish blokes regardless of how bad they sing and dance, will draw the line and sucking louis walsh off......... did you ever see the footage of him when he first saw them, hands under the table, foaming at the mouth, the filthy steamer!
