                                      Ireland: Listen to the new single 'Feroicous' from Jedward

                                      JEDWARD - 'Feroicous' (Release: 24.10.2014)

                                      Irish twins John and Edward Grimes are very well known from Eurovision Song Contest last years. With their high hairs and cool party song 'Lipstick' the twins jumped on Eurovision stage 2011 in Düsseldorf and ended on 8th place with 119 points, which was only one point behind the Greece entry. One year later Jedward were again chosen to represent Ireland in Baku with the song 'Waterline'. Well, this song wasn't that successful and ended only on 19th place with 46 points.

                                      Jedward - 'Lipstick'




                                      In May this year they were present as guests at the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen. They have a Eurovision record with the highest hairs. In the same month they released the single 'Free Spirit'.

                                      On 24th of October John and Edward released their new single 'Feroicous'. Download the single on iTunes or listen to it on Spotify:
                                      In the last weeks there were rumours about that Jedward are planing to return to the Irish national selection for Austria. Some days ago it was confirmed that they will not take part on Irish selection because the time was to short to produce a good Eurovision entry.
