Eurovision 2011: Ireland: Jedward

Ireland has chosen the twin brothers, Jedward, to sing Lipstick at the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest.

The song was selected through a 50/50 public/jury vote on February 11 as part of Ireland's Late, Late Show where the five finalists were presented. Jedward performed second in the line-up, and much of the publicity surrounding the Irish national selection put the duo as clear favourites to win.

The former UK X-Factor contestants first came into the spotlight on the reality show, and once they were voted off landed an Irish Number 1 and UK Number 2 single collaborating with One Hit Wonder, Vanilla Ice, on Under Pressure (Ice Ice Baby).

Lipstick is what you might expect from Jedward: a lively, uptempo number with an instant hook. The performance is frantic and crazy and will, no doubt, either suck in the Eurovision audience or freak them out with their look and sound.

With a strong Europop beat, the song will undoubtedly garner lots of votes and see Ireland on stage on Final night. My prediction is that Jedward should secure a Top 5 placing.



So, what do you think of Ireland's song choice?
