    Jedward’s New Eurovision Song is a Winner!

    By Lyndsey Parker | Reality Rocks – Sat, Feb 11, 2012 6:03 PM EST

    Winning!Long before "American Idol," "The Voice," "The X Factor," "America's Got Talent," "The Sing-Off," "The Glee Project," "Platinum Hit," "Nashville Star," or even "Star Search" and "The Gong Show," there was the Eurovision Song Contest, a talent competition more ridiculous, glitzy, and over-the-top than all of those shows combined. At last year's Eurovision, Jedward--aka John & Edward, the "double divas of Dublin" from Season 6 of "The X Factor U.K."--represented Ireland with an electropop ditty called "Lipstick," and placed eighth out of 43 countries. That wasn't a bad showing at all for what many haters considered to be just a reality-TV novelty act...but now Jedward are in the running to represent Ireland again at Eurovision 2012, and honestly, I think they have a REAL shot at winning this time.

    I'm not kidding: Jedward's new Eurovision entry, "Waterline," is three perfect sugary minutes of bop-till-you-drop boy-pop. Whether or not it wins Eurovision, it really should be released as a single on this side of the pond, because I think it could be the song that breaks them in the States. I can already imagine "Waterline" landing in Radio Disney's high rotation.

    Jedward for the win!

      My 7 year old would love them, they sound like those 'Rush' guys from the Nick channel. They have a great voice however please let them know the truth which is this talent competition such as AI very seldom, repeat very very seldom chose a 'duet or group' singers as winners. Is always one single person, never a duet or group. why is that? The only show that let this happen is 'America's Got Talent'. Now this is the show they should compete at..if they want to win!

      eurovision is not a talent competition it is a song competition, some artist who perform enjoy success like celine dion who represented for switzerland or abba who represented for sweden, and then other artist become famous in there home countries and around europe like dana international. eurovision is not like a reality competition show more like a superbowl of songs. i love it but it has gotten campier in more recent years i believe which is one of the reasons i love watching this show.
