She also said 'they take direction really well and there's no nonsense with them'. It makes you wonder about all that rubbish that Brian Friedman used to come out with!

The ESC is in Dusseldorf, Germany next year! Tickets are €249 - €750 , according to this site http://www.ventic.com/catalog/index....Fc5g4wodhV2r2g I'm not sure if those are the official prices or not but I'll not be able to afford to go, that's for sure!

Those prices are definitely incorrect Disnae.The official website of the Eurovision Song Contest announced today that tickets would cost between 89 Euros and 189 Euros for the final : www.eurovision.tv has the article.

Tickets for the two semi finals are bound to be cheaper,and cheaper again for the public dress rehearsals

Eurosong is not that far away....only eight weeks! I've heard RTE are showing a documentary about the mentoring process and previewing the show before the actual event

And I've heard from someone who knows her that she adores the twins so will be after getting them a great song and will be really supportive not just going thru the motions supportive!

And even better, we get another TV show featuring Jedward!

I just hope this isn't instead of their 2nd album, they seemed pretty excited about their Swedish written tracks. I want that 2nd album done and dusted and in the bag ready to roll out if Eurovision goes well or something to do straight after all the profile promo across Europe they'll have to do. assuming they get selected!

What a difference in price! That other company was marking the prices up 300-400%!!

We'll miss all that in UK but hopefully it'll end up on youtube.

they'll spend a lot of time in Europe promoting the song, if they are selected. I saw an interview Jade Ewen did and she said how much time she'd spent going around promoting the song. If the twins are selected I'm pretty certain Louis will make sure the 2nd album is ready and waiting to capitalise on the tv exposure and the eurovision song will almost certainly be the lead single from the album...I'd think!

She's a friend of Louis's of course Louis was suggesting they enter Eurosong as far back as last year's Eurovision....looks like the new format suits him perfectly.

There's already a lot of interest : RTE's Daily Show was discussing the twins bid for Eurovision yesterday

If anyone has a bit of time to spare please can you vote in this thread putting all X Factor finalists in order

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s....php?t=1399192

J&E were doing quite well but a lot of people have put them last, I know it doesn't really matter but I'd like to see them get a respectable position. It takes a bit of time to put everyone in order but people can copy my entry (post #49 in thread) (alter it a bit for the looks of things!!) if they want to

Yay Part 15! OK I do keep meaning to post here all the time again, but twitter just distracts me too much!

I actually hate Eurovision with a passion, so I am trying to get over this hatred of it as we speak. I can see why it is really good and everything so don't list loads of points to me. I can't change how I feel!

Katharine the hotel sounded so ridiculous, but at least there was a good ending with getting the flight with them!

Aww I love them. I wish my work would hire them for our Christmas party But then again I am in Dublin for their panto when it's our party so that timing just does not work out!

I'm actually serious The Twins do a much better job of "I've got a feeling' than Cher and Will.i.am did this evening. I might be a bit biased of course. But I honestly think they do!

Just noticed that the OMG It's Jedward DVD is number one in the Irish music DVD chart. Mine finally arrived from HMV the other day so all that talk of only for sale in NI is rubbish

ITV2 should have put Let Loose on DVD with some extra for Christmas.

And after 21 weeks in the album chart Planet Jedward is at #36 which ain't bad really!
I wonder if it's x5 platinum yet?

Mine arrived from Amazon the other day ... I had to order my OH to put it away for Christmas so I won't be tempted to watch it before then. I haven't seen it on Youtube so it'll be something totally 'new' to look forward to at Christmas

Lol - I turned to my OH last night when watching the show and said the exact same thing, 'Jedward do this a lot better!'

It just wasn't the same without the high jumps and cartwheels

I've been trying to explain to people exactly why I love them so much lately, coz basically I am not gonna hide the fact I've seen them and stuff and people have seen pics on my facebook so now they keep on about it.

I think a comment along the lines of "**** off," although not subtle, will do the trick.

I've got 3 albums (and the odd video clip) on my FB from when I've been to see them. Most people just gently tease me about it (but still ask what they're like live, I think they reckon that if I really like them there must be something about them worth seeing), and others admit that they quite like them too.

I've just had one comment that nicked me off ... a FB friend left a comment on one of my Jedward photo albums, where I'd been saying how fun they'd been and how they'd been the first thing to put a smile on my face for a long time etc, and she added a comment 'I couldn't think of anything worse - LOL!' (my OH did suggest I replied with 'A night in your company?' but I resisted .

I don't mind anyone not being into them, but I just thought that posting that on my FB page was just bad manners, especially when that person was well aware of the otherwise crappy year I'd had. I'd never leave negative comments on anyone's photo albums.

I promptly de-friended her ... very therapeutic

Ahhh I'll bet!

I dunno why people have to be so rude really. I think more people are just accepting it now whereas at the beginning they were like 'what ARE you doing?!'

People at my work have only just realised though (bosses and customers) which is weird considering I've been taking time off work for their gigs and stuff a bit. Some of the immature younger guys just say 'Jedward' to me at random moments for no reason but I just ignore it, or they'll go on about stupid stuff. Oh and they keep spiking their hair up and asking if they look like them now, my answer is obviously always NO.

My mum asks me more about them now though. When they were on X Factor she didn't like them and didn't understand why me and my sister did, now I think she can see they're awesome guys. She still thinks they can't sing though I will get there with her! She was asking me about their concerts and how I could sit through them more than once... I was like... you saw them perform on the X Factor, it's so much fun!

I dunno, it's kind of weird because being in this fandom is kind of like being in a completely different world, so when it crosses over into my working life and family life it's hard to explain.

Like I don't think my mum understands how or why we go and see them so much. At first she thought it was coz I fancied them but as I've said sooo many times they are just such nice guys.

Ahh well, I can't actually explain what I am trying to say.

I hope they have fun in South Africa!
