Music

Everyone's least favourite set of Irish twins made it into the finals of the Eurovision last night, but not before renaming the host country to suit themselves.

Ireland was brought to a standstill last night (well, that’s pushing it a bit) as the winners of the Eurovision’s first semi-final were being announced.

Many tweens were on their hands and knees praying the Lucan lads would secure a place in the final, while the rest of us were praying they’d be kicked off so that we wouldn’t have to sit through any more sub-standard music.

Well, luckily for some, the lads were called out as the last group to secure a place in the finals, which no doubt left many fans sh*tting themselves for a while.

Okay, so we’re not the biggest fans of Jedward, or fans at all for that matter, but feck it, they’re through and Ireland has a chance of winning something, so fair play to them in that respect.

But Jaysus, what were they like? Their outfits were ‘out there’, to say the least, and the backing singers were almost louder than the lads were. And should we mention the little heart shape the two Jedwards made in the middle of the fountain? That was awkward for everyone involved.

Awkward... or Jedward. Same thing, no?

However that’s not the worst bit. As a non-Jedward fan (we’re allowed our opinions too you know) the hardest part of the whole experience to watch was when they said, "We knew we'd rock Edzerbaijohn! Thanks to all our awesome fans for voting for us. We're going to go out there on Saturday night and do our best for a Jepic win."

Edzerbaijohn? Seriously?

Ah well, they’re through now.
