Jedward slated for second Eurovision outing, possibly
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 18 October 2011
Jedward are reportedly in the running to represent Ireland again at next year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Azerbaijan. The be-quiffed brothers were placed eighth in last year’s competition, with their Eurovision single ‘Lipstick’ subsequently selling well across Europe.
A source at Irish broadcaster RTÉ told the tabs: “Jedward proved to be one of the most talked-about and popular acts [in Eurovision]. They were such a massive hit with the media and fans that even the Eurovision organisers requested them back. [And] provided the song is right, then yes, Jedward will [likely] accept the offer”.
Well, I suppose if Dana International was allowed to run twice, the same rights should extend to Jedward, or indeed any eligible act. Except Blue. Or Jemini. Or Javine.
