The fox song was blessed by Rolling Stone on Oct. 15th of this year... and therefore it went global... please don't underestimate a Stone endorsement.

Well we went to the Perth concert last night and it was fabulous. People were up out of their seats dancing from the very first song. Security told everyone to sit down and John told everyone to stand back up, so they did . As everyone has always said they are fantastic live.

It was very surreal seeing them in the flesh after being a fan for such a long time. I feel like I know them so well, so it felt really comfortable watching them perform. I felt so proud lol. I had a smile on my face the entire time.

Even my usually reserved 16 year old, and her friend, were up dancing and singing along from the start. They kept gushing how great the boys are, so funny and so HOT!

My youngest headed down to the front of the stage and was beyond exited when Edward did a little dance copying her and later on John pointed at her and smiled. She is still going on about it.

The twins had great fan made video clips playing during outfit changes and also their own video clips to keep the audience entertained while changing. I think the fan videos gave the audience members, who only know them from Eurovision, an insight into what extraordinary and accomplished lives they have already led at such a young age.

I think Edward said he’d finished editing ‘Can’t Forget You’. He set himself a twitter deadline to force himself to finish.

John had a standard zipper incident forcing fans and Edward to exclaim, ‘Pull yourself together John’, which was very funny

They did so many songs that it really showed off how diverse they can be. They sang beautifully. Waterline and Lipstick went down especially well.
When the concert was over my girls kept saying that they had they best fun and loved every second of it.
It was a great night and so lovely seeing them for real.

Thanks for that Ertana, so great to hear when people who have been fans for ages finally get to go to a concert, they are just born to be up on that stage. After constantly being told they are a joke act etc, once you've danced through a 2 hour concert it brings it home you're not wrong about them, they are born for this!

Good point about the videos educating the more casual concert goer on what they have been up to.

Aaaw at Edward giving himself a deadline! I guess he over ran!

Yes, thankyou Ertana! That was a great review

It's also been really encouraging seeing all the positive tweets from non-fans who attended the concert.

Thanks for your review Ertana. I'm glad you also thought they were great live and I'm not being stupid when I tell everyone that they are.

Trouble is once you've seen them once you'll want more.

Have you guys seen the Can't Forget You video?

I think it's really great...simple but great choice of location and clothes. The twins have dropped their usual mannerisms and expressions in this (if you know what I mean!) and it comes across more mature.

LOL its also edited in such a way that it looks like one person (when they're both on camera, it ironically looks like its been edited to feature two of the same person). Much like Young Love-they don't interact with each other at all.

Well done Edward!

I agree, the new video is superb. It is so beautifully staged, filmed, and professionally edited.

This is definitely my favourite vid of theirs... though Paris Lipstick will always hold a place in my heart, as it was their first vid... because I still like the grainy quality and amateur editing of it.

The Can't Forget You vid is a perfect example of how much they have progressed not only in terms of music, but also in terms of stagecraft and production.

I'm so happy for J&E... they've come such a long way.

I agree the CFY video has excellent production values and some great shots.

Here's the link to the new video in case anyone hasn't seen it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzRMYJZt12o

I really enjoyed it, although the boys running off-screen at the end made me laugh and I don't think it was meant to be funny

It was certainly a well produced, shot and edited video - I thought it looked very professional.

Does anyone know whether this last vid completes the entire album... or are there other songs on Young Love which have not been made into a vid? Sorry, I haven't kept track.

This is correct. I think they won't do more videos for Young Love tracks, Edward has needed a long time to finish Can't forget you (which is brilliant IMO) and now they have panto, so there's not too much time to film anything.

Hopefully after panto they'll continue with the song-writing and/or start recording new tracks

thanks!... I had hoped they would do a vid for each song on the album, simply because it's never been done before.

I understand that the vids take a lot of time and that with Panto approaching, any planned vids would be on the back-burner. And I also understand that after Panto they will probably concentrate on writing, composing, etc.

Still, it would have been quite an accomplishment.

Ooooh new music video? http://instagram.com/p/hUlU-ao57i/#

People in Melbourne are loving them, there's a lot of tweets from non-fans who say that they're having a great time in the twins' concert because they're really fun. Sydney tomorrow

Yay! I hope they can do one for each song on the album... that would be an astonishing feat.

The tour seems to be going really well... I'm so happy for the twins and for their Australian fans... it's like a dream come true!

Poland? Seriously?

I wish whoever it is that is recommending this schedule to the twins would just, like, stop. Does this person not realize that the twins do not have bottomless pockets... this is not a game.

It's becoming ridiculous now.

Aaaaaw well this fan was very happy they did concert in Australia!
http://theatrefromthebackseat.blogsp....html?spref=tw

And as the twins just said on facebook, who comes to a country 23 hours away from
home to do a promo tour when they don't even have a record out on the radio, but everyone there had discovered Planet Jedward for themselves.
Which is kinda sweet and they seem to have had a fab time. Annoyed about the lack of wombat picture, I guess the pull of the shops was just too strong.

This is such a wonderful review from a stalwart fan... thank you so much for posting.

Now that J&E have conquered Australia, the sky is the limit! Woo-hoo!
