And now it appears UMI are on board for the Luminous video.

Whatever the fate of the Jeds and UMI, I don't expect we'll get an official announcement until after the promo cycle for the Young Love album has run its course.

Unless some other record company come in with a bigger and better offer, I imagine it's quite likely they will stay with UMI. They're certainly not going to be "dropped" by the label anyway, not after having three No.1 albums.

BIB... wait... there's actually a 'head of promo' for UM Ireland?

[pithywitch]

I mean, like, what do the non-heads-of-promo do... make sure the dead plant in the corner is still dead?

Me too, for both, which I think we've already established

Good decision.

Yes obsessed with USA, but also I have to wonder if it was the wiser political decision to plump for Barack?

Ok so Young Love tells a story... Ok here's the story:

Waterline - Sees a girl, oops, they're in love

Young Love - Well... you know the story, they try to find her or something

What's your number - Woop woop, they found her, trying to get her number

A girl like you - Totally flirting her up, kinda stalkery

Luminous - Perfect relationship going on

Give it up - Wants sex

Happens in the dark - Gets sex

All I want is you - They love her even more, they realized that since the sex was good

What it feels like - Oops, it was a summerflirt, bye bye girlie

How did you know - Wth, screw that, they stick together cuz they löööv her

Can't forget you - But lol at them, she left them anyway

P.O.V - They're making a porno, nuff said... guess she didn't get enough

Never better - Haha she left again, probably took the porno with her...So they're trying to convince themselves and everyone else they're ok

Cool heroes - Meh, let's party, let's find the next girl to write an album about

School's out - It's been a crazy year, no more school, let's start from scratch, woho party and all of that

The end

Amusing review!

And Thea, thanks for your take on the album vocals.

All I want is you: I think they sing everything together in this one even though we can hear Edward over John almost the whole time http://i49.tinypic.com/2qan707.jpg
What it feels like: http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/6179/witfy.jpg and How did you know: http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/4255/hdyk.jpg I have to agree with the person who said here that John got all the ballads.
Can't forget you: Jedward at their best http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/2977/cfuo.jpg
POV: Edward's voice is the one leading here http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/5779/povv.jpg
Never Better: No brainer, Edward song http://img807.imageshack.us/img807/2153/neverr.jpg
Cool Heroes: It's close to be a Jedward song but I think Edward is a bit more dominant here: http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/310/coolhe.jpg
Schools out: John song but close to a Jedward song. http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/821/schv.jpg

Recap according to me:
- Waterline: Jedward
- Young Love: Jedward
- What's your number?: Edward
- A girl like you: Jedward
- Luminous: John
- Give it up: Jedward
- Happens in the dark: Jedward
- All I want is you: Jedward
- What it feels like: John
- How did you know: John
- Can't forget you: Jedward
- POV: Edward
- Never Better: Edward
- Cool Heroes: Edward
- Schools Out: John

Final result: Jedward: 7 John: 4 Edward 4.

Comparing my result to Thea (who got a 5/5/5) is a bit different but in both cases we got that the twins are leading in the same number of songs, so seems a pretty well balanced album.

And thank you for that.

UMI surely wouldn't drop them, are International Universal picking them up? Whatever their next move Planet Jedward Inc. are savvy souls with a plan.

What a lot of news yesterday - Jeds appearance on Celebrity Million Pound Drop and Dani's Haunted House.

Hoping they get time to cram before Pound Drop or at least get questions on pop/sport and .... ???

[Who Am I?]

Off out to a family BBQ where I'm bound to get teased about Jeds - anti-flak jacket and hard hat in place. Bring it on.

Thank you so much for posting these! This looks like a fantastic concert... one of the best, probably. I loved the audience singing along.

I'm amazed that J&E can put on such a perfect performance so early in the tour... wow! they are soooooo professional now.

I was also happy to see glow sticks instead of foam fingers... it makes for a much more beautiful background when they go out onto the catwalk.

[jedward rule]

Thanks. I have watched those vids
It's an exciting future for jedward and in turn all the population of planet jedward. I see loads more music, tv work both presenting and acting both in kids tv and regular tv. I love them to either use one of their songs in glee or for them to star in glee. I also see movies in their future they are a producers dream. They could start planet jedward productions and make programmes through that or pitch ideas to tv stAtions via that company. The probabilities are endless also with edwards editing and directing skill if guilded by more experienced in the directing/editing world he would be brilliant. Surely Louis know he has discovered a multi talented pair here that could dominate the entertainment world across all areas. That's why I want to punch someone when they say they have no talents when it's the complete opposites . Also more modelling please

Well it seems Leslie Kee did show the Super Jedward magazines to Dean and Dan Caten, the DSquared twins. So hopefully we will get more modelling. Maybe even on the catwalk, not just magazines

[jedward rule]

Great that would be amazing they are so photogenic and hopefully catwalk they would own that especially Edward ( you go girlfriend)

I think why there are some ex punks, goths etc here is because the jeds music Is different to those styles but you identify similar qualities like j and e do it yourself anti estabishmation approach to music and imagine and how they do not comform to the norm and they are not afraid to stand out from the crowd regardless of social or music opinions and they have got their eyes on the prize and the bigger picture and with this in mind I could see them being very powerful in the future in any industry they wanted
Sorry about my spelling I hope u get want I mean

[jedward rule]

I really excited about j and e working on there songwriting skills. I think they could excell in songwriting with their imagination and quirky writing styles you can see that even in their tweets. They could work well in a writing group or just them or even John writing alone or Edward writing alone. There could come up with some very interesting songs

I think if they wrote with someone like mika they could come uP with a great song. I know mika wanted to meet them a while back.

YL not in the UK top 40... it seems their chart position in the UK is directly proportional to the quality of the album

What yl is a fantastic album and a million times bette than 95 percentage of the uk albums put together. The uk wouldn t know decent music if it bit them on the bum and I'm from the uk

Just because it's jedward if people didn t know it was jedward and bought the cd with no cover they would say it was great.

The jeds don't need the uk obviously they have loads of fans her who will buy their music but it's not enough to make an impact on the uk charts.
I understand why Louis will not let them do a uk tour and why he is pushing tv here but only booking them on things like
butlins and shows like the glascow shows
The jeds are very popular in the uk and will always be booked
but I don't think they will make an impact in the charts. They
are missing out yl album and all future albums rock
