It’s the porno mag question that stops you in your tracks. How will Jedward, this year’s bona fide pop sensation, deal with the ‘your mum threw away your best porno mag’ line in their cover of the Beastie Boys’ (You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!)? Yes, that’s right. The Beastie Boys. If Jedward’s debut (and let’s face, quite probably only) album does anything, it takes a pretty eclectic look at the history of music. Over the course of it’s tracks, they tackle the work of Queen, Reel II Reel, Blink 182, M, Vanilla Ice, Ray Parker Jr and The Undertones amongst others. Again…yes. The Undertones.
So Planet Jedward has to be awful, right? Well…..it’s certainly not the greatest pop album you’ll hear this...

Ok now this wasnt my idea, its the good people at Aiken Promotions who had the balls to do it, but yes
JEDWARD are going on an Irish Tour throughout April. I think the end of March signals the end of their commitments to the Xfactor Tour. Having secured the Irish #1 spot last week, currently resting at #2 this week. They are capitalizing on their success in the charts with an 8 date tour of Ireland
This means that from April 6th, the marmite singers are going to be somewhere near you, crooning at the top of their voices in out of sync dancing routines.
Tickets for the gigs will be €22.50 – €25.50 Fully Seated and are on sale on Thursday 18th February at 9am for those of you interested in this spectacle.

Anyone reading this from outside Ireland/the UK will be uttering ‘Jedward who’ round about now. Here’s a bit of background on the phenomenon that is Jedward.
Jedward are twin teenage boys -- John and Edward Grimes -- from Lucan, Dublin who entered Simon Cowell’s ‘talent’ show last year
It quickly became obvious that despite their quirky ‘There’s Something About Mary’ haircuts and cheese-tastic matching outfits, the twins could not sing
They became the centre of attention, being booed at every live performance, with all talk focused on how they were lowering the tone of the competition
With the resilience of cockroaches and a truly unbelievable and inexplicable performance of Britney Spears ‘Oops I Did it Again’ complete...
