However bad their ESC performance will be, it can't be as bad as this:

 

[Marie Jane]

Great rechearsal! They're awesome.

 

[Scooby]

Awesome rehearsal.
Love it love it love it. Catchy, entertaining, guys surprisingly sounded very good.

Good good. I was right when put it Ireland in my top 10 this year!
Good luck guys!

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

Ireland is just like the best!! Best of luck in the Semis - I really wanna vote for you!!

In each of the last 4 years, a song with only one word in it's title has won, so I'm now a bit more optimistic about Lipstick's chances of winning. Sadly this means Popular could win too

 

[Scooby]

popular had no any chances for win.
Especially after today's disaster in rehearsal.

"We've got Michael Jackson outfits on. We feel so MJ right now."

"It's gonna change our lives John!"

They're cute.

I love the rehearsal! TBH I wasn't hopeful about them and have never seen them as a serious contender but they were awesome. Outfits, choreography, back vocals, backdrop; everything was great.

I Agree xDD

I like very very much their rehearsal!! They will do better when they are live but for now top3 for me^^

 

[PeterLPZ]

I actually think this is one of the best Irish entries for the past 10 years, it's the best since underrated Dervish imo.

I hope Ireland will make it to the final. I have a hard time seeing the lame juries supporting it though, but I cross my fingers atleast the public will like it.

The song is VERY catchy and in a way it's kinda similar in style with the Swedish entry, but where our entry fail (bad lyrics and kitschy schlager sound) this is just pure fun catchy pop without those fails.

Good luck!

 

[Tristran]

Hardly the disaster I was expecting this rehearsal to be! They sounded pretty good, it's fun to watch them and the backgrounds look fantastic.

This was actually the biggest positive surprise yesterday and I can see this doing very well now and stealing Sweden's votes.

 

[Adeline]

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like their rehearsal. There's nothing wrong with the performance, but they don't sound very good in my opinion. But maybe I'm a bit prejudiced, cause I can't stand this song at all (it's so annoying and irritating!).

 

[Milos-BC]

Wow, I didn't expect such an improvement on the rehearsals. The biggest positive surprise along with Cyprus for me. They actually sounded decent, and the performance was ....well great. I expected something wackier though. Now I believe they WILL qualify, but they will not win.

Their press conference was a masterclass in how to handle the media.
They were very funny, but totally in control and self-confident from start to finish.

Amusing summary here:
http://www.escnation.com/blog/node/81

Jedward totally won the audience over and the volunteers in particular although they were kinda like cool in the first place but see they came on and said they were like the teachers and the press were like the pupils and it was crazy 'cause they were the first people to like successfully skewer the fan journalists and OH MY GOD they loved it and they made me actually like laugh and they know people are gonna see them and go "...so what are they doing?" and it's a lucky omen that they're drawn 19th and their 19 years old but they did say they need to be larger than life 'cause it's like an arena and they want to perform to the crowd and that's dangerous 'cause it's a TV show and they don't want to go crazy and forget the cameras but that's cool and anyway it doesn't matter 'cause nobody knows who they are anyway but they've brought 100 pairs of socks and their suitcase burst at the airport and it was crazy and OH MY GOD they met Taylor Swift and they love her and they love Katy Perry too but she's married to Russell Brand and you can tell John and Edward apart because John's lips are like fuller and they were really like professional through the madness and you can tell they know exactly what they're doing within the industry and Yami counted and they said "cool" like 34 times and I never thought I'd say it but I'm kinda like starting to like them. Like.

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

What did I tell you all! No matter how irritating you find them and hate them at first you end up loving them in the end!

 

[Scooby]

I love this guys from the beginning.
Go Jedwards!
Guys you can do it for Ireland!!!!
