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 :/

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.

And normality ,its worrying that at the age of 25 2 grown men still act as children

[Tom4784]

Imagine take such an intense hatred to a pair of people who, while mildly annoying, are ultimately harmless.

Who has the energy?

I agree. They do wind up people on purpose which is not bad tbh but they are harmless and kind.

[Mitchell]

I agree with you both, there's nothing wrong with being nice!

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.

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.
