If this refers to my comment too,I need to say something.I'm not a hater,I just don't like the song,and I said my opinion. I don't listen to them,I just heard their song for ESC.They shot the Waterline-video in Tokyo last week, so we will see it quite soon.
Can't wait.
And for all you haters out there...get a life.
You don't have to hear or see them if you don't like them
You know Jedward are only famous in Ireland and the UK right?For example here in Portugal no one ever heard of them (only during the ESC week obviously). Their latest album charted only in the UK and in Ireland and the album they made specially for Europe barely charted anywhere, it just got number 6 in Estonia and thats all. All their songs were a fail at the European charts except for "Lipstick" who still only got top 20 in four european countries (including Ireland)....You really think they are popular outside the islands but they're not really......QwaarJet is quite right, Jedward have such a large fan base that for them to not qualify they would need a totally diabolical song even they wouldn't support. Waterline isn't that type of song so I don't see any reason why Jedward wouldn't be in the final, especially looking at the chart positions on the previous page
Lipstick charted in 9 countries in continental Europe and nly entered top ten in Estonia in Austria. The singles they released after charted in Ireland and UK only. So they're not that popular, not popular enough to qualify only because of popularity at all, as most of the 9 countries they charted on are in SF2. Besides they're song is so disney and dull that if it qualifies its really bad....they probably wont even be in the televote top ten but if they will they'll be like 9th or 10th.
But they're not only popular in Ireland and UK, which was your original point, as they've at least charted across Europe
Edit: waterline is number 1 in Estonia right now
We will see the taste of ALL Europe in 26th of May
