In one of the recent radio interviews Edward said that the previous night he had just finished Waterline's font, so it seems so :cool:
I like the artwork but I wish it was a new picture.
In some countries like South Korea, the downloads count less than the physical albums/singles and they have a kind of scoring system, giving more points to the physical sales.
BIB - that was my only complaint too. Other than not understanding what lightening bolts had to do with Waterline. I'm now taking it metaphorically to signify being struck by lightening and falling in love.
Did you see that tweet that suggested calls from UK to NI are a £1? Hope we've saved enough!
OMG! I won't tell him that until after Eurosong..as far as he is concerned...its 10p.. I need to vote loads for my sanity...I can worry about the bill afterwards :eek:
I know the Irish and UK fans will do a great job voting for the twins on Friday. We've learnt from CBB disappointment and won't assume they got it. They fanbase is big and I expect a massive vote.
My only concern is the jury vote, we all love Waterline and the critics have been nice so far, but I'm not 100% confident

I think the twins would have to finish third or lower in the jury vote to lose Eurosong. Not an impossibility but it seems unlikely.
Just wondering, has anyone informed the MF about Waterline? I'd love to hear some very harsh critics opinion on it.
I'm too scared to do it though
There are a couple of Jedward threads on the Eurovision 2012 sub-forum, some people (non-fans) are favourable, others are not, as you would imagine, nothing too obnoxious as yet though nothing to be scared of, all us lot on here are posting there as well as others who are fans but don't often post here, come and join in - we need all the support we can get! surprisingly enough, people over there are saying they always liked Lipstick - but that wasn't what they were saying this time last year! #goodmemory

Did you mean the main X Factor forum? I'm a bit reluctant to start a thread on there as I don't actually watch the show..so don't feel qualified..but I agree it would be interesting to hear what they have to say about it
I've been over to the Euro Forum ..its not been too badly recieved ..even the "anti Jedward" thread :rolleyes: isnt really that hateful..I've seen worse

I didn't visit the Eurovision forum last year, good thing too! I remember a couple of people on here saying that it was way worse than the Big Brother forums, and that Big Brother forum almost made me want to scream :eek:
Hmm, people seem to have been for Jed-friendly the past couple of months. Maybe they're after realising how great they are?

I've enjoyed reading the main X Factor forum, but posting? Not so much.
"anti Jedward thread"? :eek: That's a very .. weird thread to be posting in. But oh well, nothing we can do about that!
Thanks for posting the link! It's still weird seeing mainly positive comments on something to do with the twins. I'm still so used to seeing the usual comments that have been around for the past two and a half years now.
Okay... I have had a bit of space to digest & now comment on the Jedward's Big Adventures series... my initial response was positive and, overall, this impression remains.
That said, there seems to be quite an unfortunate shift in the direction of the production after the first show... and the overall series suffers from this.
The initial show had the pseudo Terry Gilliam animations which, while brutal and gruesome (which 10-yr-old's find hilarious, for some unexplained, lord of the flies type reason) the remainder of the series did not.
I am not sure what happened... a 'holy shit! this is too brutal' moment between the 1st and the 2nd? Budgeting cut-backs?... perhaps.
Look, we all understand that animation is extremely time-consuming and therefore, consequently, expensive, yet the return capital is always immense. Try explaining this to sponsors... they just don't 'get it'... and that is the conundrum...
Whatever the reason, the next four parts shifted to the reality shows' tried-and-true mundane, behind-the-scenes 'let's choose our costumes and props together and squabble about it' bullshit. And the entire series suffered from this re-direction.
If the producers had maintained the animation throughout, the series would have had legs and, more importantly, well-deserved awards.
I am sure that I don't need to remind anyone that kids adore and are visually fascinated by animation... and kids are, after all, the target audience, right?
wait...before everyone starts saying that there was Monty Python-esque animation throughout the series... what I mean is that is was not as in-your-face as the first series. Sorry!

Could that be purely down the subject matter of each episode? The first episode dealt with torture, while the other episodes were on much less gruesome subjects. Being a children's broadcaster, CBBC can't get away with gratuitous violence.

And me..I think I am driving hubby mad keep asking him about bookies odds, what they mean and how much of a dead cert they are...

Something else to increase the number of collywobbles.
They used Tine last year didn't they - so that's nothing new.
OMG! I won't tell him that until after Eurosong..as far as he is concerned...its 10p.. I need to vote loads for my sanity...I can worry about the bill afterwards :eek:
I voted last year, I'm sure it didn't cost £1 a call....it's to Ireland anyway isn't it, not NI?
Calls from Northern Ireland (and the rest of the UK) were 60p last year.....I wouldn't expect them to be any more expensive this year
At least the fact that Melanie pulled out so early gives them time to get some decent rehearsal time in with Clare.
Could we vote by text last year? I can't remember now.
You could indeed : calls were accepted by text and landline to the NI numbers
Thanks ES

It's already been discussed in the Eurovision 2012 forum Katy (you'll find that in the TV shows UK section)

Or do you mean the music forum? There was a thread over there a few days ago which was surprisingly positive! http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1627922&highlight=jedward
Thank you! I couldn't find the Eurovision forums, never though of looking in the TV Shows UK section
