The only problem here, it’s silly enough to win..that means RTE have to cough up next year to host…
Come on Ireland….bankrupt RTE..

Give the lads a break, they are a positive role model for Irish teens. Let’s face it there are a lot of bad seductive influences ie. drugs, booze etc

Very catchy song. They won fair & square.
The public got what the public wanted – that democracy.
There’s no point in discussing it now – if there was a time it was last night before the show.

There’s an actual song in there somewhere! I’m surprised, actually … thought it was going to be another Dustin moment. Not my kind of thing, mind, but certainly not the mess I was expecting.

Jedward have more spirit & energy than a lot of people in Ireland at the moment. Rock on boys

I think it is a brilliant idea, lets face it, a lot of people cannot afford to do a lot of things these days in this country, and this is one sure way of losing, so we dont have to suffer the dam cost of funding it if we win!!!!

That’s what the Eurovision format is like these days – Europop/dance – might not be what we like or are used to, but that’s the way it is. And as unbelievable as it may seem, the 2 lads might actually have a decent shout. Either go with the flow or don’t waste your time discussing it!

Are the IMF going to give us more money if they actually do win!!!

They are good craic if nothing else.

I’d prefer “I love my horse” from Fr. Ted. Its got more melody in it.

I like Jedward as people, and the song itself is catchy, but they can’t sing. :( I would’ve preferred Nikki to go to Düsseldorf, but maybe the twins will pull it off? Wish them luck anyway :)

i love JEDWARD ! =:D

You have to laugh all week derek mooney show promoted all Louis Walsh,s bands and the like .the should call it the louis and jedward show now because that’s all that was on it all the time lately. Is there no other bands out there instead all this tripe. Come on rte give us a break and get rid of all this cronyism .

If we’re sending them, they might stand a chance if they just hummed the song.

We sent a toy turkey before!!
I havent heard the song
I dont really care if we lose or win
Not a fan of jedward but dont hate them either
I have more things to be thinking of !

we have already sent 1 turkey and now we are sending 2 .It may help the sales of lipstick and hairspray.

scarey thought,with text based votes,they might win…god help us the shame of it

they will confirm to europe what a nation of gombeens we are !!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

no no no no no no no no no no please god no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Them? OMG…….not again!

From puppets to muppets…Ireland will never be taken seriously at the eurovision again.

Legends!

Jeeezzzz What a turkey … oh no – we had already.

This just proves that text voting attracts a very narrow selection of Irish Eurovision fans – in short teenage girls. The runner-up song was far better and more Eurovisiony sounding in general.

Take 2 kids, take a “Marketing” person and …. the sheep follow …
Sad … and sick of this stupid need of making ourselves more debased than we are.

This gimmick thing has got legs, I’ll give them that. But as for the song? Hmm

There was some talent last night. This was not talent. Maybe next year.

allfull song they cant sing cant dance and cant act there was a lot better songs in it

Ireland need better

Dermot Morgan must be looking down from heaven saying; ‘my lovely horse couldn’t have ensured the loss of eurovision more than this’. Even in death, RTE insist on driving more nails into Dermot’s coffin. They tried to surpass ‘my love horse’ with dustin the turkey but these f*ckwits take the biscuit and drag RTE to even lowever depths of corruption, cronyism, incompetence, you name it, they have it!
.

it is a joke sending them. they have no chance of winning

The rubberbandits would have been my first choice, then crystal swing ….. But next jedward. Any chance of getting vanilla ice involved again?

Who cares, unimportant, if people ignored this sort of rubbish it would go away.

I ma very happy with it as its guaranteed to lose

i hope they can get to the final so i can vote for them . go jedward!

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The two talentless twits are mind numbing and painful to watch, they are idiots without a shred of evidence to tell us they even know what is going on.

Terrible terrible example of Irish ability to create and perform songs, with the song itself a shambles.

The selection process was even worse. This should be something mentored by professionals not the half wits on the late late who were playing to the crowd.

It hurts me to be quite honest that this is going on as I am a proud Irishman.

Just like sending two turkeys

oh lord how embarasing for us didnt think much of any of the songs the backing singers were worse where did they pick them up

bring back the turkey he had more talent and better hair

Jedward and Kenny going to Europe – Coincidence ? I think not !
