Ireland 2012

I have just three favourites this year, and it's Cyprus, Ireland and Sweden. They are the only ones I truly want to win. I couldn't care less about the rest. These are the only rehearsals I will watch.

+1 & Don't forget Iceland
You never know with Eurovision, anything can happen

I just love the fact that they have bought rabbits, and named them Euro and Vision. And plus they spending time with both Soluna from Denmark, Trackshittaz from Austria and Joan Franka from the Netherlands. and They tweet like they are crazy, yesterday they had a conversation with Soluna on Twitter

So they will take care of these rabbits for rest of (the rabbits) life?

probably. hopefully the rabbits will live with their parents in Dublin after Eurovision.

About that, how old are them both?

They're 20 and turning 21 in October (I guessed u mean John & Edward?)
if u meant the rabbits I don't know haha xD

same age as me, only i'm like 8 months older than them

Yes, I meant John and Edward.

They are older then I though.

well they act younger than their age

they can actually be mature sometimes lol but it doesn't show in media that much.

hehe but their personality is probably a bit younger than their actual age, though they actually can be mature sometimes. but mostly they are just crazy & weird.

I guess they are less mature when they are with media.

maybe and I think media likes to portrait them in that way too

Svenskjäveln wrote:I guess they are less mature when they are with media.

yeah. but they are naturally weird, they have always been like that.

now they are trying to being received as more mature, they are havin their hair down more often, and their new album has a new sound.

yeah I think they do so to show media they are more mature than they used to be.
They are very weird and crazy naturally still and they always have been haha and fun! That's some of the reasons I love them!
I love them in flat hair but I still miss their spiky hair a bit though that's their thing kinda

They couldn't afford all the hairspray maybe?

i know when they were in Gothenburg this January, they went into NK and bought loads of hairspray. Their hairspray bill is probably really expensive, especially if they like use once every two days

Must be..

About the second rehearsal for Ireland:
http://www.eurovisionary.com/eurovision-news/jedward-make-splash-second-rehearsal
http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=jedward_get_closer_to_the_waterline

The rehearsal:



I get so confused because I get the feeling they don't want to show us all the effects before the show. Now at least the water is bigger, but this time it was no pyro effects, and last time I saw one with that. Maybe it all will make sense when I see it together

What effects do you think of?

i have seen pyrotecnics in one rehearsal, and these big water effects in this. i just want to see it altogether. and plus they have to fix the end pose, they are not as confused as in the last rehearsal, but they still don't have that final pose.

Their second press conference



Finally they mentioned Ivi! Twice! I've been waiting for that!
I think Sweden & Cyprus is their favs songs excpet their own
and they think the Russian grannies are fun

oh god they are crazy. sitting on top of that table and running into the seating area
loved when john interviewed Edward because no one else asked them any questions xD

Did they say anything about Sweden?

Edward sang a bit from the chorus of Euphoria

Good.

They have for sure a weird dress.

yeah. they designed it themselves

on their first press conference they were dressed as popcorn

Waterline is a really cool song, the other entries in the irish national final were rubbish compared to it.
They are lovely lads I hope they will go and win the whole thing!

Who know, but I do not think they will win. Maybe they get a little bit better place then last year. But my prediction can be very wrong too.

I hope they will too! And tomorrow is the first dress rehearsal for semifinal 1, can't wait to see their stage show

Another rehearsal? Cool, I guess it takes time to learn everything so it fits perfect. Do you think something will be changed then?

It's the dress rehearsal, so the whole semi final will be rehearsed on the same day. I guess they will be wearing their stage clothes tomorrow, and put together their stage show.

Short interview with Jedward from the Welcome Reception yesterday (SVT)

I'm soo happy they qualified OMG!
I'm over the moon!!!! <3

It would be interesting to see how many votes they got. If they got the highest or around 4-5th.

I think they placed 4th or 5th Hopefully Sweden's 12 pts will go to either Ireland or Cyprus this year! Basing on the itunes charts, Cyprus has a good shot of getting. But ireland got it last year, so you never know. I know I will be voting like crazy for them

How much is voting crazy for them?

I read that you only could vote twenty times in each semi finals and final. So in the final you will be able to vote 20 times.

i mean i will vote many times for them i know, but i will only vote for cyprus and ireland in the final, so 10 votes each

What do a vote cost?

ehmm, i don't know actually. we'll see on thursday

Not so cheap I guess.
You have the money for it?

goes on my phone bill hehe

I'll vote for Cyprus & Ireland, and also for Greece
Maybe once for Denmark and Iceland as well haven't decided yet

19th place. Didn't you all though it would go better for Ireland?

Yeah i did, and I haven't got a clue why they placed so bad. they did well on the jury rehearsal, and did well on the live show. Maybe it was the hair? john's hair looked like a poodle. i wanted them to have it spiky. probably that wouldn't have changed anything, but still...

Last year they got more media attention, because they were crazy and this year it haven't been so much. Maybe that was one reason?

I think so too. Most probably thought Lipstick was better than Waterline.

I guess the thing is that people want something new, not something from the last year
they were interesting to me last year, but this year I haven't even noticed them

The same for me. This year maybe Ireland got votes from their fans "only", but last year they got votes from fans and people that just saw them and though they were weird and interesting.

I think you're absolutely right. But still they got so low... i think azerbaijan's hosting is more than questionable. you know jedward wants to come back next year as well? dunno if they were serious, but it feels like they won't give up before they win the whole thing, or at least place top 3. they are very stubborn, and eurovision freaks as well.
