In thinking there is something properly, deeply wrong with Jedward?

[CalamityKate]

I never felt much towards them either way, but the more I watch of them lately the more they make me genuinely uncomfortable.

A bit of Googling reveals that there have been murmurs that they're maybe Autistic, but that's been strongly denied by their manager.

It's just.... I dunno. I accept that probably, they mostly behave like they do because they've always got each other for affirmation, unconditional approval and whatnot, but something just isn't RIGHT about them.

What do you lot reckon?

They're just a pair of gobshites.

i love the Jedwards

really, i do.

I want to know how they do their hair!

I'm fascinated by them

Nothing wrong with them................accordingly to my DS age 6! He loves them!

Ever seen that film There's Something about Mary, Meth?

I love them as well. They aren't shagging anything that moves like Frankie Cocozza or falling out of clubs pissed up. I think they're very sweet boys.

They are really, really polite, kind, and patient with their legions of very young fans.

They are also supposed to be very reliable and hardworking - ie no showing up two hours late hungover etc, they only need to be told something once, no sulking or strops - which I imagine helps their career enormously as people don't mind working with them again.

Yes I thought they were from Lucan too which is Dublin? Also pretty sure they went to the Institute for 5th and 6th year which would have its fair share of d4 heads. That would have helped the development of the accent.

One of my friends has interviewed them a couple of times and says they are exactly you see them on the tv. You could argue they're putting an act on for her but it's a pretty convincing one.

Bet they're huge in Japan

I love them. They are Jepic.

I think they know exactly what theyre about, and i think theyre encouraged to fulfill the role people have come to expect from them.

They are considerably richer than yew. And by all accounts they are pleasant, hard-working, don't drink or smoke and are kind to their mother and small animals.

Who gives a fuck if something is a bit different about them? Don't look if it bothers you.

I know their tour manager slightly.

She's worked with some, erm, more credible acts, but she LOVES Jedward - apparently they're quite genuinely easy going, happy souls, nothing too much trouble, consistently sweet to fans, do loads for charidee...

I can't watch 8/10 cats because of his laugh. The smug one. Jimmy Carr.

Did they say that one was normal? I have believed that since XF, one knows EXACTLY what he's about. The other is two apples short of a good time.

And I meant normal as opposed to their crayzee stage persona, nowt to do with possible SN or whatever people speculate about.

What stood out for DH and me during their 8 out of 10 Cats appearance was the fact that one of them barely spoke, and the other was near manic. Agree that the bullying went too far.

I wouldn't like to be in their heads at 30.

They are young and whilst I have to switch them off the tv as find them incredibly annoying at best, I do feel they are very exploited which is

I have a feeling no matter what they've earned or continue to earn they will end up damaged.

Aren't they pretty though. Quite like Jedward.

Solapadeine - very pretty.
On Big bro they split them up for one night an it was an interesting to see how different they were when not together. One made a big effort to talk to the others while the other one stood at the window watching his brother. Agree one is a bit more bonkers than the other but they play it up.

If I remember rightly, when they were on CBB, BB suggested splitting them up and one was all "Yay!!" and the other one was all "Nooooo!"

It's heartening to hear that they're apparently nice lads. I would actually like to think that, rather than thinking they're evil little elves!

coco well clearly they didn't think it went too far, they were on the Christmas one too.

They shouldn't be playing with the big kids if they can't handle it!

I saw celebrity wedding planners, initially I thought they'd really balls it up, but they did a fair job of it.
Agree that one is more 'out there' than the other. I understand they always stand in the same way. John on the right, Edward on the left. I felt really sorry for Edward. He seemed resigned when they had to shout their 'I'm John, I'm Edward and we are Jedward' intro at everyone.
What happens when one of them finds a partner?
Saw them on 8/10 cats too. The bullying was horrible, but neither seemed to register it.

They were on Allan Carr, with Ruth Jones recently - maybe the xmas spesh or something. She has lost a lot of weight and is looking very polished and elegant these days...and they were doing the usual interrupting and upstaging...and somehow or another their carry on ended up with them tipping a tub of blue hair gel over Ruth Jones's hair.
She was not pleased and had to continue the rest of the show with her head and face slathered in the stuff. It was totally uncalled for.
I thought they were vile to do that, and although she held it together well, it was clear she wanted to smack fuck out of them.
I don't know if there's anything 'wrong' with them, but I know what a apr of ill mannered twats I think they are.

I saw that too pictish. I watched it with my 10.8 DD. She was amazed that Nessa didn't smack them. She's a huge Ruth Jones fan.
It is almost as if their impulse switch can't be turned off.

They are annoying talentless twats!
