    According to Digital Spy, John said: "Right now, our main focus is on Eurovision."

    "Yes, the UK needs to pick a good act this year because we're going to win it for Ireland. We're actually serious. We're in talks."

    Edward said: "We're going to go worldwide. It's huge, Eurovision."

    Go worldwide with Eurovision?

    Firstly, they are not half naked women.

    Secondly, they are crap.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,262 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    Dustin and now Jedward :(

    After this one we should send a Fianna Fail band over, seems to be in keeping with sending muppets to represent us.

    Fr Dick Byrne "Honestly you'd think Ireland actually wanted to lose the Eurovision".
    Fr Ted "And why would you think that?".
    Fr Dick Byrne "Maybe because it would cost to much to host"

    Had to make that reference. Anyway yeah, looks like another embarrassing entry by Ireland. Good thing I couldn't give a damn about the Eurovision, otherwise i'd be really p*ssed off now

    I saw that ad for the DS(?) last night with them on it. It's like your buttons being pressed. You know the lisping little tits are designed to annoy you and make you erupt in "begrdugery"® but you just can't help it.

    Meh, let them off. They're irritating as fúck but shur 'tis only Eurovsion. Could be funny, in a cringe-inducing way.

    Only problem is that if we send Jedward, the UK will respond by sending Wagner. And he will win the whole thing effortlessly.

    I say let them do it. Everyone knows that partaking in the Eurovision is essentially a career killer, so perhaps we'll never hear from them again afterwards!

    Oh for god's sake..

    NO!

    They are a bloody novelty act..
    And a novelty act aimed at 13 year old Girls at that.

    I never got the mentality of the shíte that gets put forward into the Eurovision.
    I mean, seriously.. Why?

    Ireland has a FANTASTIC live music scene. There are literally hundreds of unsigned and talented bands playing at venues across the country at any night of the week.
    Bands that actually play instruments, have talent, and aren't just a glorified freak show.

    Do you remember when the eurovision had people with actual musical talent in it?
    Not just someone with styled hair that could sing along to a backing track.

    I personally blame Simon Cowell for the musical retardation of an entire generation of this planet.

    If I ever meet that man, firstly I'd shake his hand and congratulate him on a fantastic business model that has made him a very rich and powerful man.

    Then I'd slam him straight in the front of the face with a brick.

    He'd know why... :mad:

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    I thought we were finally in on the Eurovision joke after years of actually taking it seriously? Can't believe people would be bothered who we send?

    Send the two little fruits over for it. I don't care.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,381 ✭✭✭fakearms123


    Do you know the way those Jedward guys are homos?

    Do you ever think that when they're lying side by side on the bed in their hotel room that they ever decided to jack each other off? they could use their hair to mop up all the spunk off their stomachs :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,618 ✭✭✭Mr Freeze


    Eurovision would be a fitting end to their career, If you can call it that.

    For two talentless lads, they did well for themselves, but it could only last so long. I hope they actually made a bit of money for themselves in the last year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    It's the Eurovision.

    We've sent over Dana & Johnny Logan before, so this'd be pretty much par for the course.

    And anyway, who really gives a f*ck?


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Dana and Johnny Logan were successful though. Jedward would just be a laughing stock. A bit like Dustin, only without the intended pisstake.

    You know that I think about it. Jedward do sorta have the same hairdo as Cameron Dias from There's Something About Mary when she uses spunk as hair gel. I guess that's how they get it like that.

    That sounds a bit too well thought out to be a random, off-the-cuff remark.

    Is it one of your **** fantasies?

    Go worldwide with Eurovision?

    The Eurovision is broadast globally and reaches more of an audience than any other live non-sporting show IIRC. It's up there with the World Cup final in terms of countries worldwide where it is shown live.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭Wazdakka


    I bet you would not:D

    Hell yea I would.

    Firstly.. How could I possibly pass up an opportunity like that?

    Secondly.. Worst case scenario, you do a few months in jail for aggravated assault, pass it off as being emotionally unstable or something.
    If all else fails play some jedward, or some of his other manufactured tripe at the trial.. No jury on earth would convict you.

    Then you could sell the story to all those trashy clitrag magazines that he and his bands are always plastered in.
    Just make sure that you actually have an intelligent point and use the publicity well.
    They'd love a headline like that.."I did it because Cowell is destroying music"
    Make his entire bloody manufactured celebrity industry defend itself publicly in the very media that has been promoting him for years.

    At the same time as all this is going on, have someone working in cahoots with you slyly getting one of the jedwards hooked on methadrone or something.

    So then he has to defend his industry from the double pronged attack of the rationality that he's a giant douche doing nothing but inflicting wave after wave of one hit crap on the market, and that the mothers of those 12 year old girls he's aiming at won't buy cd's released by a meth addict.

    Actual talented and diverse bands fill the void..

    Simples

    Different back then. No Eurovision entrant has had success since Celine Dion who won it in '88, and it even took her a few years after that.

    Ok.. I know they weren't representing us..
    But Flatley and that Riverdance thing did pretty bloody well out of the Eurovision.

    What do you mean by success though? A lot of entrants might not have gone on to be hits here or in the English-speaking world but have done in their home countries. Sertab Erener has had a few songs that did very well and is a star in Turkey and other countries , Dima Bilan has had a very successful career in Russia and the Russian speaking world with a string of number 1's etc.

    In the same way there are Irish people virtually unknown in Ireland that are actually extremely successful abroad.

    Wagner is Brazilian though.

    The two gay lads that went out in the early rounds would be a better comparison.

    Hey, what about Mary Byrne? I reckon she could win it. Especially with all those Tesco workers around Europe voting for her.

    Shame upon shame, degradation upon degradation....

    Of course if it was changed to a competition where they have to fight to the death with fairly blunt knives, I'd support them entirely.

    It's a fu'cking joke sending these two little maggots.
    Do you remember when talented people (even if some of them were cheesy) took part (and won this thing)...ABBA, Sandi Shaw, Lulu, Johnny Logan, Celine Dion, Even Katrina and the Waves. OK not my favourite type of music but they weren't piss-taking talentless twats like these two weasels.

    Depends on what you mean by success. A lot of acts that are entered into the Eurovision aren't geared towards chart success before OR after. Many acts are folk singers, opera singers etc and go on to enjoy success in their niche fields away from mainstream. That German girl who won it this year has been in TV shows and trained as a dancer and has had no formal voice training. YOu could say she's a bit of an all-rounder and those types usually find success in multiple fields of the performing arts whether on stage, on camera, behind the camera, songwriting, scriptwriting, acting whatever. Plus, also, you're rarely going to see some band from bloody Turkey or Belarus smashing the UK charts year after year yet in their home countries they tend to do well.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,818 ✭✭✭Minstrel27


    I hope they do enter. We need talentless goons to represent us every year. Hosting the Eurovision is a waste of money.

    Wagner is Brazilian though.

    The two gay lads that went out in the early rounds would be a better comparison.
    Yeah but there's nothing in the rules about foreigners not being allowed perform for another country. Sure Celine Dion is Canadian, and yer one from Katrina & the Waves is American, I think. Nothing wrong with putting a Brazilian kung-fu master/sex God on the Eurovision stage. :cool:

    Also those two gay lads were painful. "Camp as a row of tents" doesn't begin to cover it. (Unless your row of tents is infinitely long.)
    Hey, what about Mary Byrne? I reckon she could win it. Especially with all those Tesco workers around Europe voting for her.

    She's not a whole lot different to Niamh Kavanagh though, and Niamh's performance last year proved that a decent singer isn't going to do well when they have to work with a shít song. Mary can definitely sing but if she's not given a decent song then she hasn't a hope. At least with Jedward there's always the chance that they'll do well solely on the "novelty act" vote.

    Eurovision is a pile of pi$$, it's on par with x factor for me
