Floh I'm your biggest fan

I know it's like Eurovision happened years ago, but we're still getting jury votes.
Danish jury gave Ireland 1 point in the semi and no points in the final: http://www.dr.dk/melodigrandprix/Art...0617092659.htm

And the comments from non-fans on teen.com are quite positive:

No worries — not a blonde moment it's the magic of Jedward. Jedheads around the world hope you and millions more hear a lot about them. Be prepared for their Young Love album release worldwide 25th June — that's soon!

So worth being pro-acative and sweet with people who arrive on youtube. Be pro-active for Jedward!

And it's got to be so much more useful than arguing with the haters (although I can't help it sometimes, and it's probably always worth pointing out to them that they are looking at twins, not one person)

Think this will be the longest week ever.
Just been on Irish itunes again, listening to the clips. I think I remember seeing on Amy McG twitter that it should go on the UK for pre-order tonight/tomorrow same time as the YL single, so I can stop switching countries. Until it actually comes to the release date, we won't be able to see if the additional tracks are *bonus, or just itunes only. I remeber another album I bought last year, which was being released on cd with a bonus dvd, had 3 additional itunes tracks, and they were available to buy separately, and you could see that most people had just downloaded those (as they prob had the cd release), as they were the ones showing as popular. Mabybe it was a mistake on itunes UK, though.

25th can't come soon enough ......

Ha ha, was killing myself when I read the "wierd mirror scenes". The more converts the better , but then again if they get way too many more fans, then we've got even less chance of 'meeting them' at Airports/appearances etc. As it is, there is a lot of "those and such as those" that seem to push there way in, even thought they've met them loads in the past.

I have to admit one of those comments is from me masquerading as a non-fan Does anyone else do that?

Check out this Twitter account which purports to be for the official Jedward magazine:

https://twitter.com/#!/JedOfficialMag/

They've been tweeting a link to a survey, polling fans on the sort of content they'd like to see in a magazine. It seems legit and it's not asking for a lot of personal information - but use your own judgement!

Looks a bit suss to me (but then I'm totally paranoid) !
Surely if it was an official thing, it would have been on planet jedward first? or been tweeted by Jedward themselves?

No, you're not the only one

Wow, I really wish I didn't know that. I feel much less positive about the whole thing now!

I'm not going to say don't do it, but I really think that isn't appropriate. Just from a selfish point of view, I get really excited when I see posts like that and now I know there's the possibility it's fans I'm not going to know what to believe. I get it from a marketing perspective but really, I think that crosses a line. I'd rather honest feedback than this. IMHO, of course.

Survey, filled. √

Bring it on and I hope this is directly connected to Jedward Inc.

To be honest I just do it in Spanish blogs/articles. I think a blogger that writes about them for the first time prefers to read a "Thank you so much, I didn't know them but they're good" than a "Jedward I love you, marry me". For me it's like a way to incite them to write more about the twins, I have no idea if it works tho.

When they're articles from other countries I don't hide my fan identity

[River_Tam]

I only do it if there aren't any comments, just to encourage the blogger / writer that there is interest.

I genuinely believe there are many positive comments from many 'non fans' there even though some of us may be trying to sneak something in. I'm not doing it because I can't remember my password to youtube and I've already lost Goingwithfloh and am now Goingwithfloh2. I have no idea which or where my supposed email address is. I must have half a dozen of them in cyberspace.

Yes please let there be fewer comments about undying adoration for Jedward as it gives a better impression of course.

Damn that I wish I could drop 30 years and be in with a chance of marrying a Jedward!

IMO it's surely possible there are people not even born yet who will be the chosen one for one of the Jedwards anyway because they're so focussed upon their careers where the heck will they find time even? The chosen one would of course have reached the giddy heights of being at least 21 when the boys start searching for them of course!

And then we can all prepare for the biggest wedding ever — celebrate to the max!

I can see why new viewers keep thinking it's one guy. In nearly all their self made videos, they often only show one twin at a time and they always dress identically, so if I was watching a video by "Jedward" for the first time, I would probably assume he was a solo singer and the shots where there are two of "him" are some clever editing trick.
