I feel they were hard done by not getting through.John said: "Yeah, they got the pyro and everything," with Edward adding: "They had more pyro than you would see on New Year’s Eve.
Edward said: "It was kind of a special performance because the drummer from Wild Youth, he’s engaged to his fiancée, so we gave him some love. John had a heart-to-heart conversation." Jedward scored Ireland’s highest placing in the competition since Mark Roberts finished 2nd in 1997 when they finished 8th in the 2011 final with Lipstick.
