Jedward are Irish. Will concede the silly hair point though.

lord, thank you for this opportunity to troll anonymously

― noted schloar (dyao), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 14:44 (fifteen years ago)

I mean, of course I voted for the crue. duh. no question

― noted schloar (dyao), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 14:45 (fifteen years ago)

You know that everyone's going to vote for Jedward just to annoy ~~Simon Cowell~~ HI DERE, right?

― might seem normal but is actually (snoball), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 14:45 (fifteen years ago)

why, I have no idea what you are talking about, "snoball"

― noted schloar (dyao), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 14:47 (fifteen years ago)

And as an aside, I'm dreading the upcoming UK General Election, being as it is decided by the Great British Public.

― might seem normal but is actually (snoball), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 14:47 (fifteen years ago)

Kiss Me Kiss me Kiss Me vs. Kill Me Kill Me Kill Me

― Agonizing over tight harmonies and solid grooves (Dan Peterson), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 14:48 (fifteen years ago)

This is definitely a question of kill or Cure for me.

― We should have called Suzie and Bobby (NickB), Tuesday, 2 March 2010 14:49 (fifteen years ago)

Steely Dan vs Jedward - based solely on their dancing abilities

Jedward are Irish.

A Jedward cover of "EMI" would be... interesting...

― might seem normal but is actually (snoball), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 22:32 (fifteen years ago)

I'm still trying to figure out if I'm relieved or disappointed to learn that Jedward is two people, rather than some kind of schlubby/goofy singular pop star actually named "Jedward"

― oɔsıqɐu (nabisco), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 22:32 (fifteen years ago)

I mean, I would always just notice something about something called Jedward on X Factor and imagine a kooky homely older guy with glasses going "Hullo, I'm yr pal JEDWARD!"

― oɔsıqɐu (nabisco), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 22:33 (fifteen years ago)

No it's worse because there are two of them.

― might seem normal but is actually (snoball), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 22:38 (fifteen years ago)

At least there arent' three?

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Wednesday, 17 March 2010 22:54 (fifteen years ago)

Jedwardo?

― I request "Fireflies" (dyao), Thursday, 18 March 2010 00:28 (fifteen years ago)

Their next single is rumoured to be House of Pain's "Jump Around". Should make the choreography simpler, assuming that Jedward can jump up and down in time.

― might seem normal but is actually (snoball), Thursday, 18 March 2010 11:49 (fifteen years ago)

still think they'll be just TV presenters within 18 months

but they won't be as good on breakfast TV as Robert Smith

WHAT A TROUPER.

Seriously, I'm in awe of this. Yes, at 2:05 is when he REALLY fucks it up, but he actually injures it during the tumbling at about 0:30 because he's crawling by the next time you see him at about 0:39.

― Hey Jabulani! Pope of four four two. (aldo), Saturday, 10 July 2010 12:37 (fourteen years ago)

even tho their schtick is more wtf abhorrent than brokenCYDE (saying A LOT actually), kudos to the dude for being a pro & finishing the set. Even if it is just a sprain, ankle injuries are fucking PAINFUL

― the new hot dawg stand in compton (Pillbox), Saturday, 10 July 2010 12:53 (fourteen years ago)

It's kind of rare that you notice a singer's timing, because a singer has a lot of freedom inside a pop song -- to move around, to find his own space. A good singer can sometimes seem to be not singing with the rhythm but almost dictating to the rhythm how it will feel, what its mood will be.

Jedward's timing on "Oops! I Did It Again" is not an example of this.

― les yeux sans aerosmith (underrated aerosmith albums I have loved), Saturday, 10 July 2010 13:27 (fourteen years ago)

he tore his knee ligaments! A career as a Ross Kemp-style celebrity hardman beckons.

― Merdeyeux, Saturday, 10 July 2010 13:45 (fourteen years ago)

uhhhhh NO

― DJP, Thursday, 30 June 2011 14:43 (thirteen years ago)

lex do you prefer The Cure or Jedward

― blended haircrüt (absolutely clean glasses), Thursday, 30 June 2011 14:43 (thirteen years ago)

probably the cure but i've only heard a couple of songs, which i didn't particularly like

― lex pretend, Thursday, 30 June 2011 14:44 (thirteen years ago)

my favourite cure-related things are every cover of "love song" i've heard

― lex pretend, Thursday, 30 June 2011 14:44 (thirteen years ago)

i don't have any favourite jedward-related things

― lex pretend, Thursday, 30 June 2011 14:44 (thirteen years ago)

Nonsense, there's always the happy moment when you realize that they have left your TV screen or that a song of theirs has stopped playing.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 30 June 2011 14:45 (thirteen years ago)

i avoid those moments via the classic tricks of not having them on my tv screen and not playing their songs

― lex pretend, Thursday, 30 June 2011 14:46 (thirteen years ago)

But pop is designed to foist itself upon you when you are least suspecting.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 30 June 2011 14:48 (thirteen years ago)

I can see Robert Smith's voice as a barrier to entry for you, lex. I just spent 20 minutes looking for a song to bounce off of you before going "eh, nvrmind" lol.

― DJP, Thursday, 30 June 2011 14:54 (thirteen years ago)

on the plus side, I am now listening to "Primary" and very happy

― DJP, Thursday, 30 June 2011 14:55 (thirteen years ago)

have you heard jedward's cover of ghostbuster's theme? its pretty good.

you are more evil than i could have ever imagined

― death to ilx, long live the frogbs (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Thursday, 30 June 2011 17:41 (thirteen years ago)

i've only heard two covers of "love song", oddly enough neither by 311

― lex pretend, Thursday, 30 June 2011 17:44 (thirteen years ago)

that thing was inescapable over here. on the other hand, y'all have jedward.
