Jedward get Irish Eurovision ticket
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 14 February 2011
So, Jedward will represent Ireland at Eurovision.
I thought we already knew that, but it seems the dynamic duo had to win the support of the Irish people for the privilege. Imagine that, the people helping choose what artist and song should represent Ireland in the big Song Contest, what a crazy system, better for a BBC twonk to just decide that Blue should sing one of their terrible tunes, save all the bother of a public vote. Though, of course, had the Beeb gone with the traditional prime time ‘choose the UK song’ competition this year, as normal, Blue would almost certainly have won anyway. Well, providing it was a pissing competition.
Anyway, Jedward had to compete against four others to get the Irish Eurovision ticket. One of their rivals, singer Nikki Kavanagh, actually got more points from the judging panel, but a viewer vote secured the deal for the tedious twosome. So Jedward versus Blue it is. I wonder which pop outfit will work their magic best and secure that all important second to last place in the big Euro songs fest. As long as John and Edward know to get to the cash machine before Blue boy Antony Costa I’m sure all will be fine.
