It's fake? How could they shatter my illusions, like that? I'm stunned. Stunned, I tell you.

I'd agree about an XF appearance being unlikely, particularly in light of their lack of musical success in the UK market. The success of 1D and Cher Lloyd (and well done to them all) really shows how important proper promo is in the UK. In a market the size of Ireland you can get to the top of the charts doing most of your own promo and some big signings - that won't work in the UK regardless of the quality of the music you're selling. You need the advertising blitz and the media machine behind you.

PS. Look what Bobby just tweeted: http://yfrog.com/nucrvgj Nice to see them keeping in touch.

They put up this vid saying they were filming for a tv show, maybe Bobby is doing it too? Does anyone know which one it is?

Someone said they'd filmed a performance of Bad Behaviour for Alan Titchmarsh show? I don't know if that was what they were talking about though or when it's due to be aired.

River usually knows these things but from her twitter she's gone to London to try to see them, I think she's had quite a bit of trouble getting there as they are at a different hotel now which isn't so easy for her to get to

I hope she catches up with them

I don't think we can be too hard on Simon. I would love them to have an appearance on XF even if it was done a bit tongue in cheek. They have had an appearance on all other of Simon's shows... The latest Red or Black. I can see them having an xtra factor appearance this year. They always get a mention and they played a clubby version of Lipstick on the first show.

They are written into XF history but I just can't see them being taken seriously in the UK. I just wish people would give them a chance.

I hope that they get a chance to showcase some their tunes on their children's TV shows.

I know he likes them really (ie his phone call to them before eurovision) but he would not undermine credibility of the show by allowing them to appear. In my opinion. Not while there are other, more successful (by XF standards ie as recording artists) acts about.

Now if they'd actually WON eurovision, I bet he'd love to have had them descibed as the "X factor twins".”

I notice they said in that heat interview, if it was not for BB, they would have in Judges houses. with Louis
Is the show Celebrity juice.

Just read their interview in Star magazine : looks like the Eurovision 2012 rumours are quite true then. I'd be completely in favour of it myself given how big a phenomenom they are.

Turns out, once I'd been let down by two taxi firms and just asked people for directions, this hotel is actually easier for me to get to! hahahaha amazing!

Hey the new video feat. "pop rocket" we dragged to Killarney and back!

They did Alan Titchmarsh today bad behaviour with the wrong dance moves apparently, should look really odd when it goes out. They have loads of interviews Thursday, John said 27, Edward said 100 so probably 9 or something. Heard full, but faint, versions of Go Getter and Get Up And Dance on their laptop.

Love that they outed Lucien and Kerry, like anyone believed that stuff, at least be seen out on a date with together first, or wait a whole week!

Yay! So pleased you got to see them, River Did they seem in good spirits after finally being released from captivity? Sounds like it! I've seen a few pictures of them since they got out and thought they looked particularly well - nicely rested, for a change.

Lol. Glad they got to perform on Alan Titchmarsh, anyway. The GBP needs to see more of them as singers, not just personalities. I'm sure the dance moves will be just fine - I'm assuming they kept up rehearsing the the BB house, I was amazed at how slick and well-performed Lipstick was on BOTS.

I like Pop Rocket. If that's the next single, it would be a good choice.

Why did they do Bad Behaviour with the 'wrong' moves River : was that deliberate?

erm they did the Everyday Suoerstar dance moves apparently .....it's gonna look so wrong

They were in quite a chatty mood. Did my best to dare them into a violin video.....but don't hold your breath folks!

Aw cool! Sounds like a fun day Glad you dared them - a violin video would be great. They were actually asked about their violin-playing prowess in one of those questions-out-of-a-hat things in a Yahoo interview today as well. Apparently they haven't played in 2 years, but, if they were still playing to the age of 17, they must have been some way decent, I imagine.

Everyday Superstar moves? Did they both get confused between the dances? lol.

Pop Rocket is my fave song on the Victory album : I'd love that to be the next single

Not seen the yahoo thing yet, I wonder if any of my other questions got asked - quite excited I spammed them loads! Usually interviewers don't ask about the violin cos they don't believe they can play I think.

Apparently doing the dance moves to everyday superstar was "better than doing nothing". what's wrong with the bad behaviour dance?

I don't think pop rocket is the next video, the massive party popper in their little video was a "pop rocket"

Sorry, I misread - I thought you meant the footage they filmed at Killarney was for Pop Rocket, just seen the youtube video. lol.

I see they've just tweeted Wow Oh Wow will be the next single. Nice! I assume they'll use the Killarney footage for that then. Maybe it will get more publicity because one of JLS co-wrote it?

Ooo was the violin question, your question? I wondered if it might have been. JedGen tweeted the link to the Yahoo interview yesterday. I'll see if I can find the link.

Edit: Here's the link to the Yahoo Q&A (sorry, bit of a long one): http://uk.omg.yahoo.com/gossip/110--...HRlc3QD;_ylv=3

Would be handy if they plugged the heck out of one of JLS being a co writer on the track! plus it's actually a really good track! Not sure how the Killarney footage is gonna fit in with it though. Maybe there's been a change of plan!

There is a JLS version of Go Getter apparently, but the twins make it work better I think ( maybe biased, dunno)

thanks for link I'll have to watch it later.

Yay, I really love that song .

I'm a bit meh about the single choice tbh. I'd have preferred Everyday Superstar or Hold the World. WoW isn't even my third favourite song on the album. I don't dislike it, I just think there's better on the album.
River_Tam
15-09-2011
I prefer Hold The Word too. I think Wow Oh Wow is the most marketable track on the album.

Wouldn't have been my choice either : I would have gone with the more poppier Pop Rocket or Everyday Superstar.

I think this might be the exciting news that they tweeted about yesterday (or was it the day before)

The twinnies seem happy and excited about their new single anyway. they're recording the whole video in America.

Of all the tracks on the album, Wow oh Wow is my least favourite. I guess I am just out of pace with today's music scene. I did not like C.L.'s Swagger Jagger, either... and it did so well!

Does anyone know what the kerfuffle on twitter is about? I keep seeing references to Edward calling a fan names. How can this be possible? I thought they loved all their fans.

Maybe they're banking on the JLS connection making it seem more 'credible'? Their major problem in the UK is airplay. If radio stations happily play JLS tracks, it looks a bit strange if they won't play a track co-written by one of JLS.

They seem to have picked a song to appeal to the UK market, the one country where their singles are not selling well. From what I remember, it was the likes of Pop Rocket and My Miss America that sold well on iTunes in Europe from the special Planet Jedward album.

It's a curious choice for me as they've picked the least poppiest sounding song from the album
