But most discussed in the Crystal Hall, is the provocative choreography with the dancers to catch the signs of the singer before the last chorus!

Eurovision Ireland: Jedward’s bunnies

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 10:07:23 +0000

As always, the Irish representatives at this years’ Eurovision Song Contest have been keeping busy with their experience and last night bought two (2) rabbits which they have decided to name Euro and Vision and one has to add that they are enjoying the time spent in their new hotel surroudings, the hotel room of the brotherly duo. It is quite interesting point out that it is yet unknown whether the two pet rabbits can actually get Irish Visas but that would be noted in time along with other details. In the meantime, the focus on Ireland seems to be the water feature, a unique element in this years’ Eurovision Song Contest which will be only during the performance of Waterline.

I have found out that there actually was a fault with the water feature and that it should have been much higher. The actual piece of equipment arrived in Baku a week before Jedward but unfortunately the production team did not check the mechanics. So their first rehearsal was the actual first time that they could check if the system was fully working. Therefore, what has happened now is that since Monday, the production team have been working on the equipment around the clock to get it right. The question at this stage is whether it will actually be ready on time but we believe it will. The system in itself is controlled by Jedward Tour Manager; Liam McKenna. In the meantime, I would like to say a big than you to all our followers for your questions for Jedward for this Friday’s press conference. This article was written in collaboration with Eurovision Ireland so stay tuned for more information through escflashmalta.com and our partners for all of the latest news from the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest.
