Jedward - the musical is in the make and they are going to bring it to Westend!

• Just to put the 'Waterline' poll results in some perspective - below are last year's poll results for 'Lipstick'.
  A whopping 32.46% of forum users assigned zero points.
  But, of course, 'Lipstick' ended up in a very respectable 8th position in the Final.

(points/number of voters/percentage)

• 12 .... 63 .... 18.26%
• 10 .... 23 .... 6.67%
• 08 .... 31 .... 8.99%
• 07 .... 17 .... 4.93%
• 06 .... 18 .... 5.22%
• 05 .... 15 .... 4.35%
• 04 .... 11 .... 3.19%
• 03 .... 18 .... 5.22%
• 02 .... 14 .... 4.06%
• 01 .... 23 .... 6.67%
• 00 .... 112 ... 32.46%

By way of contrast, a mere 9.69% of forum users assigned zero points to the UK's entry, 'I Can', but it finished in 11th place.

So, I take the poll results with a very big pinch of salt! :roll:

It's not that Jedward are so annoying for me, but also this song is really nothing memorable. This is 2012, not 2011. Still another ZERO again for me to the twins

The HQ studio version sounds amazing!!! Supporting 100% this year, again!

After 5 or so listenings, I find this song quite enjoyable. Reminds me of late 90's songs which isn't necessarily a bad thing . A bit cheesy sounding, and utterly repetitive. Whatever, this is fun to listen to.

Guys, I'm sorry to be a hater or whatever, but how can anyone take these guys seriously? They're the most useless manufactured rubbish I've ever heard.

Seriously, if they won, imagine what a farce it would be for the show. Aleksander Rybak won in 2009, he was hugely talented and a musician. Lena is like a young Bjork. Compare Jedward to them...they're an embarrassment. Sorry if any offence caused, I just hate how popular they seem to be when they have no merits to back it up with.

Jedward makes me want to headdesk, facepalm, hurt people and smash my computer all at the same time. I wish they would disappear off the face of the earth forever! I was so happy when I left Scotland and thought I wouldn't have to see them ever again, but oh no, now they just have to be on my favorite show every year as well. oOX

If they actually entered with a good song, I would be able to ignore them a bit and just focus on the song, but since both of their songs have been crap they don't deserve anything other than null points.

I can get on board with this kind of message. It's impossible to focus on the song when those 2 numpties are singing it.

It's a good thing that so many people have different tasts since their popularity in a lot of countries is massive... i love them

I actually like this much better than the insufferable beat of "Lipstick". It won't perform very well at the ESC, IMO, it sounds like a B-Side from a Backstreet Boys album.

Maybe the first person that speaks perfectly suitably for them!

I absolutely 100% agree! Couldn't have said it better myself.

It really is, isn't it? It's times like these when it would be better if the ESC was a radio contest.

5 points from me. Actually this entry is not as catchy as "Lipstick" was...So I'm not sure about this year's success

 

[kotten]

Its difficult to particate two years in a row, people will expect much more. Even from a duo like Jedward. The song is a letdown. I didn't like Lipstick, but I thought it was a bit of comic relief...this is nothing, just bland.

3 Epic Anna strikes back!

 

[Jopi]

I like the song.It is better than Lipstik.

 

[Stargazer]

3 Epic Anna strikes back!

Hahaha well it's true!

 

[Interrail]

Uhmmm, why Jedward go to ESC again, only 1 y after....and with such a weak song?
Last year I liked Irish entry a lot, this year...it's a complete disappointment (I mean everything: the song, the performance, even their looks - they're dressed like power rangers):/
Although I don't hate Jedward...I can't like this song...it's so wrong. Wrong song, timing, everything. Sorry. 2 points.:?
But good luck!

After my initial disappointment over the Irish NF results I gotta say to me 'Waterline' is a whole lot better than 'Lipstick' but that's just a personal preference. It won't end up anywhere near my Top 10 but I also don't see it in my Bottom 5 either.
