Yay good news at least there will be some competition for Jedward
I’m from the UK, but far more excited about hearing Jedward’s song than I am my own countries..I think Jedward are great and can pretty much guarantee they (and Ireland of course) will be getting my vote should they be chosen
I know it’s not about Ireland but I read the Israeli wiki and it says that Maya Bouskilla will rapresent Israel and that (english wiki) Montenegro’s song is “EURO NEURO”
Maya Bouskilla is a good singer but I’m not a huge fan of her own songs… However, her 2005 duett with Harel Skaat was amazing!
Yes, it’s called “Euro neuro” I watched yesterday on RTCG!
UK wont be able to vote in the semis for Ireland though
Not in the semis, no, we will in the final though
I am from germany but I hope that Jedward will win Eurosong nad that they go to Baku , they are known in Europe and have many fans in Germany/Austria/Denmark/Sweden/ Estonia/Russia…and some of these country are in semifinal 1 so I hope that they will come in the final show (though many vote only political tactics)
Yeah of course UK will give Ireland 12 points, nearly always do and then we complain about other countries giving neighbourly votes.
I really hope Jedward will represent Ireland this year again, because I’m from Austria (so I can vote in SF1) and I’d vote for them as often as I can :’)
I’m from Germany and i really hope Jedward can go to Baku to represent Ireland, they would have highly deserved it (:= And their fans from all over the world will standing behind them and hopefully call them to promote. And of course I would vote for them very often (:
