why not! they are young and fun. They are a joy on Celebrity Juice and are not afraid of laughing at themselves which is rare in these egotistical days. I expect the other entrants won't be very nice to them but they deserve the same chance as every other country especially ahead of uk who are dredging the bottom of the sea these days.

RE Jedward, I love the fact that you can bet on one of them falling off stage or injuring themselves :giggle: Personally I think they are great fun and probably have made more than the XFactor winners put together.

Re Eurovision I think the problem we have is that European's taste of music is so different to Uk's taste of music to begin with. Then, there's all the political voting :shifty: .

I don't watch it myself, can't stand it, but I do want Jedward to win :cool:
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

Stopped watching this when the voting became too political. Another reason why the UK will never win. Also our songs just aren't good enough. Make it catchy at least.

Saying that OH's friend has an Eurovision party on Saturday so will probably be that friend's kitchen that night.

This! I get so annoyed with some countries always voting for each other no matter the quality. It bugs me every year (yet I still keep watching...)

I can't stand Blue...dislike them and their song! As much as I find Jedward annoying and crap singers...their song is catchy lolz it kinda reminds me of Katy Perry - I kissed a girl. Similarities of it being both weird, about lips yet so catchy that after you've heard abit, you can already sing along to it.
I might actually watch this tomorrow...hmMm...after BGT? :cool:

P.S. I always thought that Eurovision contest only allowed groups/singers if they don't have a contract/label...so can any A-list artists join or does it have to be the Z-list ones?

I think anyone can sing in it if they chose to. It is the songwriter's choice who represents thier song the best I guess. Just the A listers tend not associate themselves with Eurovision as there is a stigma to it. We had Michael Ball, Gina G and Sonia representing us before.
