Jedward Do The Double!!
The boys are back! Jedward will once again represent Ireland at Eurovision. The Lucan twins secured their place in Baku at last night's Late Late Eurosong Show.
Panelists on the show included the wonderful Niamh Kavanagh who won in 1993 and represented Ireland again in 2010, and Marty Whelan the RTE Eurovision commentator who correctly predicted the Azerbaijan win last year! They both thought Jedward would win, and they were right.
The results last night were:
1. Mistaken ( Edele Lynch) sung by Celtic Whisper with Maria McCool. (50 Points)
2. Mercy (Marten Ericsson, Peter Mansson, Lina Ericsson and Bill Hughes) sung by Donna McCaul. (84 Points)
3. Here I Am (Greg French) sung by Andrew Mann. (94 Points)
4. Language Of Love (Éanán Patterson and Julian Benson) sung by Una Gibney and David Shannon. (58 Points)
5. Waterline (Nick Jarl) sung by Jedward. (114 Points)
The Grimes boys were the favourites from Day 1 to win the Eurosong. However they faced stiff competition on the night from the excellent Donna McCaul (Ire 2005) and Andrew Mann who put in great performances. Jedward were mentored by Linda Martin who won Eurovision in 1992 for Ireland. Can she work her magic again and bring victory to the boys this year? After all, they were THE success story of the 2011 Eurovision? It should be an exciting Eurovision for Ireland again this year!
You can watch the boys performance here.
