    Another thought - in semi final one there'll be two sets of twins - the Tolmachevy Sisters representing Russia and the brothers in French band Twin Twin (France aren't performing, but they vote in semi 1. So I wonder if there's some sort of twin-related event involving the Jeds and the others.

    I'm so proud of them. I have such a good feeling in my gut about the new album etc. People cannot fail to be impressed. They have done their time, paid their due's so to speak. This entirely self made album will give them the credibility they need in the eyes on non-fans. Can't wait for it all to kick off. Proper recognition is around the corner. Smart boys :)

    They did it all themselves, people will have to stop calling them talentless right?

    If anyone calls them talentless to me, I don't think I will be held responsible for my actions!!

    Anyway! They've done an interview with Bliss Mag, so that's something to look forward to :) and they're doing an interview on a radio station in Indonesia and possibly Singapore :)

    Has anyone noticed the Jedward mentions on E4 - it's hard to describe but the the little quirky segments in between programmes eg one is a caravan park and someone is spraying JEDWARD FOREVER on the side of a caravan. One I noticed today is cafe and the day's special is JEDWARD PIE. Hope this make sense I am probably way behind on this and it has been discussed before

    I've seen the caravan one but not the cafe one. it does suggest someone at channel 4 might be a fan!

    Another Eurovision thing. During the broadcasts, there are spaces for breaks for the broadcasters running ads. For the non-commercial broadcasters (like the BBC) they will show some funny clips based on the idea of a fictitious "Eurovision Book of Records" including things like "most beard", "most la-las", etc. At the beginning of every segment there's an animation of the book featuring pics of iconic Eurovision performers including ABBA, Johnny Logan and the Jeds in their "Lipstick" costumes. So in a way, J&E will be in every Eurovision show this year!

    Graham Norton and his producer were as good as their word and played Free Spirit this morning. In fact, Graham was very nice about it and said they should it play again and it deserved to be the playlist, as it was better than a lot of stuff already on it. hahaha

    They've put up one of the Eurovision Book of Records clips! This one is for "highest hair". Can you guess who wins? :D

    Funnily enough, this year one of the French performers actually has higher hair than the Jeds. And yes, this has been measured!

    Excellent clip !! Remembered to listen to Graham Norton yesterday. I am liking the single. Hope the rest of the album is just as good. Is it John that sings at the beginning?? It's so low it doesn't really sound like either of them.

    Seems the twins are going to be shown on screen during the semi tomorrow evening. During this afternoon's dress rehearsal, a montage of past Eurovision clips is shown and then the cameras go onto the boys in the audience :)

    Yes! It sounds like they'll show the "Tallest Hair" video, then go to the reigning champions in the audience. So, can we assume it'll be a spiky hair day? :D
