I think its a real shame that with all the bellends celebrities you have jedward get such hate. Ok I can see why they may annoy some people and i dont believe they are perfect but they are such nice inoffensive guys how angry and bitter do you have to be to hate them?

I really hope they win, dont care what people say they are lovely and i've been converted. #teah jedward.

Absolutely right.

Okay their zany antics may annoy some and their performances not appeal to many too.
However for those who have seen them live as I have,all I have seen is good and often hilarious entertainment from them.
When you meet them they are polite and they genuinely adore their fans Worldwide.

So the fact they work so hard and give their following the shows they like,the fact they have secured their financial futures with absolutely nothing of anything dubious or scandal like about them.
That leads me to avoid and dismiss the,in my opinion only,unfair criticism that comes from those just not liking them that has been there since XFactor days and unfortunately still keeps surfacing.

The lads rise above criticism and very admirably so too in my view.
Really well done to them for the career they have set up for themselves and long may it continue.

Let's put things into perspective. The one's who did us proud are the likes of Sir David Attenborough, J.K Rowling, Sir Winston Churchill, William Shakespeare, Charles Darwin...the list goes on.

William Shakespeare only came 5th in his series of CBB as well, he was a bit boring tbh

I wasn't team jedward in their series, but they're harmless kind people and deserve so much love :love:

I never saw them in their series but have seen them on other shows and how they interact with the public (my mum saw them when they were in Ireland, she said they were very sweet) and they are genuinely nice but also funny in a harmless way. I am cynical of celebrities but you really have to go far to be offended by them and i agree, they are harmless and deserve love :love:

Good on you, people make out like you're not a talented singer if you don't have a great voice, The Beatles didn't have great voices but they were entertaining and produced great songs, its not all about a great voice!

[Nancy.]

So the only irish CBB contestants to make the irish "proud" are Jedward. That doesn't exactly say much when you take into account that Keith Duffy, Paddy Doherty and Danielle Marr were the other irish contestants. :joker:

Patrick "Paddy" Doherty (born 6 February 1959) is an Irish former bare-knuckle boxer. He is best known as one of the interviewed 'Irish Travellers' in My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and as one of Danny Dyer's Deadliest Men. He won Celebrity Big Brother 8.

Born in Manchester though

[ChristmasNeeve]

No, he isn't.

Why did you post that video, it says nothing about his nationality in it?

he was born in Manchester and raised in Manchester, he's "an Irish Traveler" which is more like an ethnicity than a nationality

[Nancy.]

Now that i've finally stopped laughing I really can't believe the lengths that people are going to defend Jedward. It's so sad. lol.

Paddy Doherty not being Irish :shrug:

[Nancy.]

Anyway.

I wonder if Jedward are planning on releasing a new album after their stint. You never know, it might reach #59 if they're lucky. :joker:

[Mitchell]

Or might go double platinum in Ireland like their first 2 albums? More fame than Austin has in his right thumb :joker:

Even outside of Ireland, they had a number two single, they gave Ireland their highest Eurovision finish since 2000, they have appeared in big fashion magazines worldwide and are worth 6 million pounds.

On top of this they've done endless charity work for childrens cruelty charities, Comic Relief, Children In Need, Sport Relief and visit children in hospitals, such bad people :nono:

For now they are great, but I worry for their future they need grounding as if they are still acting like this and don't at least attempt some independence to form a degree of individuality. Are they still going to be behaving like this at 40?.... It worked for the chuckle brothers but I can't see it working here tbh :/

[joeysteele]

They are clever boys

They are far more clever than they get credit for.
In these last 5 years as Mitchell rightly points out they have amassed a wealth of millions each.
From hard work and being willing to take on anything.

Many past stars and current ones play the fool in entertainment and far past the ages John and Edward are too.

I still can see in time them getting presenting roles on TV and I think they would excel in that too.
Still in demand and internationally too, they have done much better in their profession than a great number of other former XFactor finalists,who very quickly all but disappeared after a much shorter time.

[Garfie]

I find them really likeable this time. They are positive and harmless and I'll be happy seeing them win it over the bitter and the nasty

I'm not a fan, and didn't think I'd ever respond to a post on Jedward, but I don't understand the hatred. As you and others have said, they are harmless. Yes, they appear quite immature for their age, but I'd prefer their type of innocent immaturity, than the immaturity shown by someone like Bear last year.

And, despite coming across as quite childlike for their age, they have had the good sense to find a niche and a 'persona' for themselves that allows them to make a very good living and future for themselves, without being so weak as to fall into pitfalls of celebrity, like drink and drugs. That makes them strong in my view, and wise too. They have clearly got their heads screwed on.

I would much prefer their presence in the house, rather than fake, self-centred, conceited and offensive celebrities, who choose to play a role and use showmances, overt sexual behaviour, cruel comments and car crash antics in a desperate attempt to get air time. We've seen that all before, and far too many times to make that entertaining. Therefore, it makes Jedward seem quite refreshing.

Good for Joey and all of those who are openly showing their support for Jedward; they don't deserve to be mocked or shamed for being fans. There are definitely worse celebrities to support.

They have a very pushy and manipulative mummy that controls the purse strings all the while helping herself to a large slice of their income. They are old news these days and if they are not thick, then they are bloody annoying delinquents. posing like little girls in the mirror, playing dressy uppie, screaming like banshees and acting like hyperactive numpties just isnt funny in my house, its bloody annoying

[Brillopad]

Why are you comparing them to those people though, they're two guys on a reality show :laugh: And what do you mean did "us" proud They're Irish not British :hee:

Isn't that why you support them - because they are Irish. I don't understand that really as when I watch these shows, especially talent shows, I don't support the locals, because they are locals, I support those I think are the best or most interesting.

Nice boys or not, and personally I think they can be pretty selfish with their noise and antics, I can see James' point. Just kids who have been lucky as they were in the right place at the right time with an Irish judge on the panel and as a mentor. Louis thought all his Christmas's had come at once with Irish twins - they couldn't lose.

I always think it is so unfair when genuinely talented people miss out to pointless novelty acts. You can see the antics of Jedward in every junior school on the planet. Old and predictable in my opinion.

I don't support anyone just because they're Irish but I do like when someone who I like is Irish, sure, why not? I hated Marc for example eventhough he's Irish

I think some people are just pressed that they've made more money in a few years having fun than most people do in an entire miserable life of boring hard work :shrug:.

I say good for them! Some folks just need a semester at jelly school.

Each to their own I guess - I just don't get it with Jedward. I always thought it nice when the kids were in bed and you could get some peace. When it's boys that age it just makes me cringe. Certainly wouldn't pay to see it.

Well that's absolutely fine and I can see why some people would think they're annoying; they just make me laugh though

I'm not a fan, and didn't think I'd ever respond to a post on Jedward, but I don't understand the hatred. As you and others have said, they are harmless. Yes, they appear quite immature for their age, but I'd prefer their type of innocent immaturity, than the immaturity shown by someone like Bear last year.

And, despite coming across as quite childlike for their age, they have had the good sense to find a niche and a 'persona' for themselves that allows them to make a very good living and future for themselves, without being so weak as to fall into pitfalls of celebrity, like drink and drugs. That makes them strong in my view, and wise too. They have clearly got their heads screwed on.

I would much prefer their presence in the house, rather than fake, self-centred, conceited and offensive celebrities, who choose to play a role and use showmances, overt sexual behaviour, cruel comments and car crash antics in a desperate attempt to get air time. We've seen that all before, and far too many times to make that entertaining. Therefore, it makes Jedward seem quite refreshing.

Good for Joey and all of those who are openly showing their support for Jedward; they don't deserve to be mocked or shamed for being fans. There are definitely worse celebrities to support.

Thank you for those supporting comments at the end of your post.
Also I massively commend your excellent,fair and balanced post.

I was watching over Christmas some big comedy stars of the past and while they were mostly hilarious at times,these were men in their late 40s and even 50s,some with totally nonsense jokes or a prop waving it about hysterically near shouting at the same time.

Jedward are 2 still young guys,who do an act those who like them and go to see them love to see.
Of course people do not have to like them but honestly some of the derision of those who do like them and the frantic clutching at straws levelled at the lads themselves mystifies me.

It doesn't bother me as I have liked them from XFactor,I've seen them live,met them and have their CDs happily in my vast collection of many artists,past and present.

Great post from you and thanks for the mention.
