IRELAND 2011 - Jedward - Lipstick

[nikolay_BG]

Lipstick landed at #2 in the national Singles chart. Lady Gaga is #1.
Quite good result considering that previous Irish ESC entries used to finish lower in the few previous years.

That doesn`t mean that they will finish good on ESC. Bottom 5 probably.

You clearly are wishing so much for it to fail! No matter how much you hate it, they have increased interest of Eurovision in Ireland massively. Same goes for the United Kingdom... people are more interested in Jedward than Blue!
At college nobody normally talks about Eurovision cuz it's seen as not cool but this week it's certainly been a topic of conversation!

I'm happy that they have such success in Ireland because I don't remember when was the last time when the Irish ESC entry could finish in the top-3 before Eurovision, I mean during the last few years.
Though it doesn't guarantee that they can finish high in ESC. But I'm happy that ESC is so popular there

Agree with you, Aleks!

It is almost the same all over Europe. The German Song was often a number 1 hit, but failed in the contest.

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

I've never known a Eurovision song get Number 1 lol!

The song is OK I guess, but Jedward are sooooo annoying! I live the UK and they're very well known here, they're everywhere... I watched the Irish selection and was very disappointed that Nikki Kavanagh didn't win, and she was so close as well. :/

Seriously guys, these debate isn't getting you anywhere! Lets just wait and see what happens. We'll see whether they get through in the SEMI's. Then and only then we will truly see what everyone thinks of them!

You're right - I was just stating the situation here .

......No matter how much you hate it, they have increased interest of Eurovision in Ireland massively....

They're a talking point alright - but in much the same way as Dustin The Turkey : novelty acts that can't sing,so put them in a song contest for car crash tv. If Dustin or Jedward could sing,there wouldn't be half as much fuss made about them,by the press. Jedward might be 'fun',and have 'energy',but if they looked like Louis Walsh ,their teen/tween fans wouldn't support them at all.Their support seems to be based on finding them ''well fit''.

I find the chart listings interesting,but they're no guide to how a song will do in the contest.
There were high hopes for Sinead Mulvey,her sound being compared to Avril Lavigne & P!nk,with everyone saying that she was ''fresh'' and had the most ''modern'' song in the Irish selection (much like Team Jedward keep saying about the twins),yet the voters of Europe didn't go for it.
Still,well done to Jedward on getting to #2.It can't be too hard to have a hit in Ireland - Dustin the turkey has had seven top ten hits,including five number one singles !

Donna & Joe ('Love?') was the last Irish entry to peak at #2 on the singles chart - that didn't manage to translate into a decent position at Eurovision,stranded at the semi.
Brian Kennedy ('Every Song Is A Cry For Love') reached #4 on the chart,but made the final,Dustin The Turkey (Irelande Douze Points) reached #5,and Sinead Mulvey/Black Daisy (Etcetera) got to #6,Niamh Kavanagh ('It's For You') got to #8.
At least they all went top 10 in the chart. All those top ten chart acts ,yet there was only one finalist at the ESC,with a top ten finish (just): Brian Kennedy (and I think it was voice that got him there,rather than the song) !

THE ALBUM FULL VERSION SOUNDS REAL COOL

According to DS Lipstick was shown during the German national final this evening along with four other songs from this year : it more than held it's own

the Slovakian twins know about the Irish twins and they're following them as well!

Yeah, but, from what I could tell, the songs were picked mainly so that the panel could make fun of them and show how good Germany's chances are.

Thought they've also shown Norway which is pretty good

I dreamt last night that Jedward won the second semi-final (dreaming about Eurovision, yikes!), I do hope I don't get to see that happen! :shock: :?

That's not a dream,that's a nightmare ! : )

The Slovakian Twins and the Irish Twins will be such good PR for both countries.
