Waterline has appeared on a lot of iTunes charts : top 100 in places like Sweden, Finland and Austria.....just outside the 100 in Cyprus and Denmark, spotted them on the Belgian chart too
Don't forget Derek Mooney will be broadcasting live from the arena at 3pm (and will probably have the boys live in studio this time) : www.rte.ie/radio1

Hey, yes, I'm in NZ.
The Wikipedia entry is a good place for the latest in Eurovision stats. The points breakdown for the heats won't be revealed until after the grand final, as it could sway people's voting choices, but it will be very interesting once that's out!

Interesting comments from Engelbert about seeing them on X Factor and knowing they'd be successful!
Thanks for the info. I'm in Perth so it will start at 3am for me
I just watched the BBC3 vid of the announcement of the 10 qualifiers for the final. OMG Sarah Cox was even happier than the Irish commentator. Loved her.

Aww love it! And such a great meeting between them too
Yes I was disappointed, but my daughter who was watching with me and hadn't seen them perform it before said "Aww that's really cute" when it came to that bit. So even without the proper overhead shot it must have looked good.
it needs to be found again,because no cute granny could trump Edward's puppy dog eyes! ok maybe I am a bit biased there, but I think it's true!
Who else would have been that entertaining in their way to the stage? Just the twins, of course
This morning I got to watch the performance in my big TV screen, and I have to agree with those who said the backing singers were too loud. They weren't out of tune, but the mix wasn't as good as in the jury final. Hope they fix this for the final.
And the camera work wasn't great, but I think it was the same for almost all the other acts.
A funny thing I noticed this morning rewatching it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_9QaVC-NKw
1:02 Edward places the microphone stand carefully while John throws it randomly somewhere between the dry ice clouds.
1:58 Leanne and Claire have to leave the microphone stands on the floor while they kneel, Claire has it easy, but Leanne has to go almost mid-stage to "rescue" John's stand. Claire waits for her to kneel at the same time.
Go Team Jedward
The sound balance is off on the TV performance, the backing singers aren't out of tune they are singing a harmony part the lead vocals are too quiet, yet they clearly aren't too quiet in the arena.
also that over head camera shot is missing and it does ruin the dramatics of "feel the rush" with no over head shot the symmetry of everyone is pointless with a front shot.
this could mean better Jury result for the twins because they'll sound fine on anything filmed inside the arena. or do the jury watch the "tv" version?
I saw that the other day and came over all unecessary...
The soundmix was 'slightly' off flyingcamel but not dramatically so : the backing singers were at the correct level but the twins were a tad too low in the mix.....whether this was quite deliberate or a mistake by the sound engineers, I'm not really sure.
I've a really good feeling about the final. I've fancied the boys for a great result all year and the #23 draw has done nothing to dissuade me
it was the best part of their performance and now they don't have it, and I'm not even speaking about camera that was going for a walk in some of the shots.
Gerry Adams (Sinn Féin leader) suggested that the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) should stand aside and allow Jedward to represent us in EU negotiations, since they would do a better job of representing Ireland's interests.
In response, the Taoiseach wished Jedward good luck in Eurovision.

So, their name is now enshrined in the Parliamentary Record for all eternity!

Can't believe Linda Martin is the person who has to deal with the boy's wet costumes :eek:
Of course the twins are once again the main picture in the article
I'm saving Ireland's entrants, Jedward, for last. Mainly because they're really funny and the most interesting ones (even more than Albania and Moldova). John and Edward repeat in the contest. Their clothes were already really discussed last year but in this semifinal they've outdone themselves. Their look, a mix between Knights of the Zodiac and the Power Rangers, would be loved by Michael Jackson, they had everything on their costumes. Their outfits are silvered with golden details, huge shoulder pads with a pattern that's turtle-like, sequins, coloured crystals and, they're waterproof as they proved at the end of their performance.
Hope it makes sense because the guy used a language hard to translate.
I wasn't expecting that a fashion blogger would like them that much! :cool:
