Ha Ha I had a marmite opinion of that song.. LOL in some cases and pure awful the next!

Ironic that the UK is slagging off Ireland for choosing to send Jedward again when they managed 8th and beat our representitives Blue last year, especially when you consider the failures we have had last couple of years. Block voting etc gets in the way, but overall it is just light entertainment although some treat it seriously!

It doesn't annoy me that much that they beat Blue, even though I liked our entry, it just seems a bit lazy and it's a bit boring to just enter the same act twice in a row

Other countries have done it before, don't see the problem.

Jedward became popular in countries such as Germany, Sweden etc last year so they and they must be hoping to capitalise on that success for their country.

[MTVN]

Yeah I didn't like it when Germany did it last year either, countries should actually come up with a new entrant each year imo

[King Gizzard]

Just being unoriginal and taking the easy way out

[bbfan1991]

There is a rule which states that a certain act can represent their country only 2 times from what I have read online and no longer after that, so for sure this is definitely Jedward's last involvement with Eurovision.

[Benjamin]

I have to agree, I'm not a fan when a country uses the same act again twice in a row.

[King Gizzard]

We would have got the legend that is Andy Abraham back if we had any decency

[MTVN]

Would be another last place for him, him coming bottom was the reason Wogan quit

[Benjamin]

No X Factor **** to represent us.

It's not lazy, there were other candidates but Jedward won the song for Ireland voting. Tbh I think it's our best chance of finishing anywhere decent, which is near impossible these days with all the block voting that goes on.

[MTVN]

Well I still think it's a bit boring to do it if Ireland were to bring back any act then it should have been Dustin the Turkey

[King Gizzard]

gimmicks

Dustin is amazing, just a poor song let him down

Don't know why you don't go for a really really really irish theme with all the dancing and everything

The UK act is going to be confirmed tonight at 10:30, apparently. Rumours of Atomic Kitten have been rubbished by the ex-members of the band on Twitter.

[Maia]

I thought I'd be excited about it until I found out who's being rumoured.

[King Gizzard]

[King Gizzard]

Anita Singh ‏ @anitathetweeter

[Maia]

The main person being tipped is far from amazing

[King Gizzard]

Anita Singh ‏ @anitathetweeter

But I''ve got to be honest - if you're of tender years you'll hear the name and say "Who??!" Now I must stop with the clues #eurovision

Anita Singh ‏ @anitathetweeter


So the BBC says this act is an "international music legend" #eurovision

[King Gizzard]

Oh my god.. someones just told me who it is for real :|
