I hope so, too... does anyone know whether J&E have a local promoter lined up for the big push right before the tour?
I hope so, surely someone over there is giving them advice?

I have no idea, but I think they have some kind of contact in Australia. The promo tour was really complete and they made interviews with newspapers, etc they had never talked to.

That's great news! A local promoter is always a good idea.

Btw... I hope everyone going to the UK tour has an absolute blast! I'm so happy for all of you!

Don't worry Scherera- they haven't "grown up" as such, just decided to adapt their image to suit the goals. Remember they were quite mature during the Xfactor, yet in the years that followed, became hyper and overactive. So the way I see it, they've simply reverted back to their original image!

I was always a bit baffled as to why J&E, after xf, began to accent the 'wild & crazy' schtick. They were quite calm and polite during xf.

Do you think Louis recommended this approach... or J&E fell into it themselves?

Yeah I think it was a Louis thing, to make them stand out or something. Like to continue the image he gave to them in the XF

Here's one of the Australian interviews, published today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2Z4GDiWPVs

And here some of the new covers from yesterday's concert in Lowesoft:

John and Edward told fans this morning that the setlist for each concert is different. Leicester tonight.

It's fascinating to hear them cover songs by Coldplay and Snow Patrol.....not what anyone would expect from the twins (and they do a great job)

I'm glad that E is no longer skittering around at the back of the stage.

That said, based on the vids I've seen so far, the whole thing strikes me as bad art.

I've never felt this way about their other performances...so I find myself wondering if J&E are trying too hard to dispel the 'they can't sing' myth.

Sorry.

Joy949 put out the interview they did when in oz here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0re539Z_8W0

it's 15 mins long so it's a nice and informative interview
When asked about new music, around 12:40 according to Edward "probably the new year, or late this year early new year" So what to you guys think, is this reliable? I know plan can always be changed, but they need new music in panto, isn't it?

love the way Edward explained 125 to the hosts hehe

vids from the tour are really amazing, found one where John b-boxing, didn't know he's this good.

I guess the twins are doing covers of contemporary songs to please their fans... I'm not sure this is a good strategy as they have enough of their own music to fill a 2 hr. show.

I find covers quite sad. Especially when they simply mimic the original offer.

Of course, when one re-works an original track... it can be quite interesting and rejuvenate interest in the original...

like this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-2Of9aznxg

to this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uifuzx9TDVY

most, currently, don't realize that CCR did the original track. Actually, most don't know the song was called 'Rolling on the River' and know it as 'Proud Mary'. Which proves the point that it's not the song, it's the presentation/rejuvenation..

Mimicking the original never got anyone anywhere...

This is also a cover... I'm not really sure how I feel about this... it's derivative... but also a clash of the titans and a reintroduction of the song.

from this:

to this:

covers are tricky...

I think for the local, non fan, audience that don't really know their songs the covers help get them involved in the concert.

But the covers this time all seem to have a theme of "yes
We CAN sing, see"

I was just going to say that. They provide familiar songs for non fans to join in with. That strategy seems to be working as I spotted a couple of atypical Jedward fans - older men - actually singing and swaying along!

BIB - yet another undiscovered talent, although I not surprised as I think we've seen a glimpse of beat boxing somewhere else. I just can't remember where

they have not sung live their own songs? Not even like they did before (that they sung live over a backing track )?

Yeah.. that's what kinda confuses me... with their own songs, they have backing tracks incl. vocals & still sometimes mime. I would have thought that they would have let go of that crutch by this time.

I realize that, due to the high amount of dancing, it's difficult to sing live and make it sound perfect... but somehow, for me, that was always the fun of live concerts. I never expected a studio, pitch-perfect live performance.

I'm just not sure where I come down on the covers... perhaps a better balance of just 1 or max 2 per concert? Dunno.

I agree that the fact of adding covers is more for people who go to the concert with fans. I read a girl on twitter who had gone with her best friend who was a fan, she was delighted with the Little Things cover. She probably liked the fact that she could sing along to one of the tracks even not being a fan.

Of course they could put a 2 hours show with just their songs, but it's nice they mix it with other songs because it gives them the possibility of changing songs between concerts, so the concerts are never the same.

About John's beatboxing, he's quite good at it, I'm impressed, he even does that thing where he beatboxes but adds a second sound to the mix with his nose (lol I don't know how to describe it better)

Well, when they finish the UK tour it will be October already, they have to make 8 more episodes of JBA which probably would take them 3 weeks. In Late October they have an Irish concert and then the Australian tour in November.

Maybe they could find time to go into the studio and record new tracks before panto, but I don't think those tracks would be ready by the time panto comes, so I guess they'll sing old songs at panto. Maybe some they've not used at previous pantos.
