Remember these guys from last year?
Oh yes, Jedward are back.
And this week they’ve also told the Eurovision press pack that they want to represent Ireland EVERY YEAR from now on – at least until they win, presumably.
God help us.
Now, their song this year, Waterline, isn’t too bad – it’s bouncy and up-tempo in an inoffensively Eurovisiony way.
But why must they insist on reviving the ridiculous hair and camp-as-hell robot oufits for their second attempt?
I guess it could be worse.
Their alternative Eurovision look could be something like this:
PLEASE NOTE: that is an actual photo of the terrible twosome. I apologise profusely for giving you nightmares.
To cleanse your palate, here’s another former Eurovision entrant giving it another crack this year.
Željko Joksimović represented Serbia and Montenegro in 2004, with his gorgeous ballad Lane moje taking second place.
Since then, his nation has split in two, and he’ll be singing the eerily similar Nije ljubav stvar for Serbia in Baku.
Now, there are about 500 dreary Balkan ballads in this year’s contest, but this is the only one you have to worry about.
It’s not one of my favourites, but I predict Željko will be back at the top of the leader board in 2012.
