Following on from some scathering comments belonging to Katrina Leskanich, Geir Ronning and Vukasin Brajic, and resulting vocal response from a bundle of Jedward fans, Roberto Meloni lends his bitchiness to ESC Daily for a review 11 of the 2011 Eurovision competitors.

Jedward replace dancing tigers with hot wheels

We won’t actually see them rehearse till tomorrow, but word in the press is that John Grimes is still confined to a wheelchair following his injury sustained at a recent concert in Ireland.  He plans to perform in a wheelchair for at least first rehearsals, but we expect the excited twins will be right on the night.

Boom Bang-a-Bang

Its been spoken in hushed tones around the press centre, and considering the last few days events with arrests in Dusseldorf and the death of Bin Laden, certainly there is a nervousness in the air.  So when this was initially published a few of us gasped in horror.  Then we saw it was published by The Spoof.

With that warning, please read with tongue firmly in cheek…

Keeping Eurovision wide awake

After late nights of partying and early wake-ups for rehearsals, journalists need one thing – a decent coffee.  If you aren’t have no access to the free coffee bar in the press centre, let Oikotimes times tell you where to go.

    Sharleen, I won’t believe one thing or story about Jedward, They work very hard to make the news with absolute rubbish – Tigers. For God’s Sake this is Ireland. Anyway RTE Entertainment would get at least 8 articles if they couldn’t do rehersals.
