If they were to do another reality show in Uk I'd hope for Dancing on Ice because people would see how committed and hard working they are. They could even show case their music by dancing to it. The only problem is, there is two of them and they'd have to enter seperately. unless they both shared a partner and danced in a threesome, which would be rather difficult.
Please... no more voting shows... except Eurovision.
I just have this vision in my head of them gliding round the ice to Hold the World. It would be beautiful. :)If people heard that song on prime time tv I'm sure they'd go out and buy it!:cool: It's a shame that the fact there's two of them makes it problematic.
I would imagine they would be contracted much the same as CBB... none of their music was allowed to be used. So, thinking they could use the show as a platform to promote their music would probably not work.
No more voting shows, please! Unless everyone wants J&E to become reality tv stars like Kerry Katona.. then by all means... get your skates out!

Vanilla I ce skated to Ice Ice Baby though, so I think they'd ebe allowed to skate to their own music. Maybe only one song though. BB rarely broadcasts any music because they have to pay royalties if it is broadcast. C5 even posted videos during the main series with the sound blocked because of the music . Anyway, I'm with you re the voting . If they do Eurosong and Eurovision, that's plenty!

I guess it simply depends on what the twins want. They have said themselves that they want to do all of the reality shows, so I am assuming that is their chosen direction - to be tv personalities or reality stars. I don't agree with the whole idea of 'being famous for being famous' (and I believe this is the perception of J&E in the UK), but it is not my life or my career... so whichever path they choose, good on them!
Could everyone fly over to Ireland to vote for them in Eurosong.
End message.
Alternatively those in the UK can just use the NI number like last year - whatever!
Important message to Edward:
Yes.....if he's paying
End of message.
Surely they're not worried about Eurosong? Unless the song's poor - and why would it be? - or someone else comes up with a cracker, I can't see them being beat.
and okay we vote like crazy the Virgin poll though nobody know if this is an important voting, maybe we should concentrate on more important one like the http://www.muzu.tv/ie/muzucharts/best-of-2011-ie/ MUZU TV voting(more important because we vote for their muic) and LAFTA http://t.co/zyXRLogm here we know when it ends &it is not a boring never-ending story like the Virgin Poll(though I vote it non stop but many people are tired of it) . I would be very annoyed when they lose important votings only because a just-for-fun voting

Lol. If it's a decent song, I doubt they'll need worry about topping the public vote on Irish votes alone. Honestly, it was like they had taken over the country over the Christmas break: they were never off the tv screens and the continuity announcer on RTÉ was plugging their show at almost every interval. :cool:
Also, I hope everyone who went to Panto over Christmas had a great time and enjoyed Dublin. Ireland had a nice balmy(ish) Christmas this year
Still establishing my "Jedward are nowaday's Marx Brothers"-theory, I've been pleasantly surprised by listening to the following interview. I know there are a few people around who encourage that comparison and I tell you: Matt Edmondson receiving Jedward for Christmas is pure Marx Bros style! :cool:
It's a good comparison. I wonder if they've seen any Marx Bros films? (I don't think they've ever mentioned any - but, hey, they keep plenty of interests well hidden!) I recall TG4 (Irish language station) used to run Marx Bros films quite regularly on weekend mornings when I was growing up, so John and Edward would definitely have had the opportunity to come across them.
Actually, in a similar vein, I was watching some silent film over the Christmas break and I was struck by how much various aspects of the twins' persona (particularly, the more physical manifestations of their humour) seem to echo the style of early cinema comedy (though I could, of course, be imagining it - I know way less than I would like to know about early cinema ).
I met some girls from the US while I was in Dublin!
It's amazing how they get some fans travelling so much just for seeing them
BTW I must congratulate John and Edward for taking the time between their panto performances to meet the fans outside the theatre. I don't know if they do it after all the shows but seems they do it at least once everyday and it's amazing.

BIB - I agree, although I'm thinking more Jackie Chan who himself was influenced by the silent film comedians - mainly Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. That form of physical comedy/slapstick had no language barriers. I've noticed a few similarities between the twins and Jackie Chan and given the number of times they refer to ninjas and 'stuntsmen' I'm hoping their a fan. John in particular seems very capable of doing many of the gynmastic type movements - I'm not saying Edward can't either its just I've not spotted them all yet.
The thing that made me think about it was a photo where John is supporting (climbing) himself vertically in a doorway - Jackie Chan does a similar trick in an early film - and it require's significant amount of core body strength, plus that handstand press up thing he demonstrated to Bobby in the CBB house.
Back to the Marx Brothers comparision I thought the recent panto vid of John and Edward having difficulty in getting into their onesies and sliding all over the stage was a great example of that. Norman Wisdom/Lee Evans also sprang to mind.

I don't think so Silverhand, I agree
For some reason this CBB clip always reminds me of early silent films or Marx Bros humour I love it

Agreed!
Panto was fab btw

You just have to click on it to vote (I think)

Ok Edward..I'll book my ticket now
I wonder if there might still be a possibility that RTE could change the format and make the competition about choosing the song for Jedward.
The twins were amazing on Eurovision last year!
My US friends went today to panto and got to meet John afterwards. They're totally delighted!!! I can't wait to hear more from them, I'm well jel
a few people did fly over for Eurosong last year.
But the NI number makes more sense financially although it would be great to be there!
But I'm just passing on Edward's message OK!
