I thought we could all review the album ourselves for the fun of it.
Put what you think of each song and give it stars E.g ***** (We can give each song a max score of 5 stars)
Also, vote for your fave song in the Poll at the top ^^

Lol ok why not!
Going to try and take away the fact this album is by the twins and just concentrate on the music for most of the songs though.
Lipstick- I love this, its really awesome and easy to learn the lyrics and its the song which got the twins noticed in the first place. It may not have won over as much of the UK as originally thought, but its got them so many amazing opportunities, it'll always be a special track because of this. Though kinda wish they kept some of the original lyrics for the LOLS -
3 stars ***
Bad Behaviour - Possibly the strangest song for them to sing when you compare it to the image they want to portray. Love the music video, though wouldn't have gone with that as the lead (?) single as IMO there are so many stronger tracks which suite them alot more.
Ill give it 3 stars again though ***
Miss America- I think they sound good singing it on the concert vids and it works as a live track but im not a huge fan of the song. Again this tracks grown on me since i first heard it but if it wasn't a song by the twins, i wouldn't listen to it.
2 stars **
Distortion- I like the song, think it would be better if it was longer? Just seems to come to an end very suddenly, the new version is kinda weird to, like the ending to it sounds like someone accidentally pasted an extra song ontop of the track. Overall though its not to bad and after a few listens its definitely grown on me.
4 stars ****
Everyday Superstar- On first listen i didn't really like it, then watched the concert vids and its really grown on me. Yeah its as cheesy as anything but its just so much fun and you cant help but sing along, its catchy and it suites them! Plus the dance is amaze XD Shouldn't really judge a song based on "hips like shakira etc" dance moves but when ever i hear it cant help but picture that.
4 stars ****
Pop rocket - Ahhhh i love this track!!!! Can never not stop laughing though when i hear it now, will never get the 300,000 followers video out of my head. INNOCENT MY ASS, they can never say its just about space again, so much sexual innuendo in it and its so catchy and just a really solid song.
5 stars *****
Biggest fan- One of the best on the album for sure, its a song which actually seems to have been written for them, rather than just sold to them. It describes them and this fandom down to a T. its such a good song and could see myself listening to this even if it wasn't sung by them.
5 stars for sure *****
Saturday night- Friday night rip of XD Thats all i can think of to describe that song. Though it seems to work really well live.
2 stars **
Wow oh wow- Definitely my fav track of the whole album, i know alot of people say its sounds to JLSie but i love their music so that really doesn't bother me. Its a really good track and if radio's could get past the 'jedward' tag it would get some serious airplay.
5 stars *****
Hold the world- Kinda had this one on repeat, i really love it and its a close second to wow oh wow as my fav from the album. Actually the more i play it the more i love it. it's kinda perfect and they do the emotion when they sing it so well.
Again 5 stars for this one *****
Techno girl- Meh its alright, not the strongest one out there though
2 1/2 stars **
Celebrity- This is the one track i dont really like, its just to repetitive, i dont know maybe it will grow on me as only really heard it a few times.
Overall i think the album is good, definitely a million times better than planet jedward and their are some really strong tracks on there.
4 stars ****

TaffyKat, what are the original lyrics to Lipstick?  Anyways, here are my reviews. Lipstick: **** Nice song, really catchy. I think it was a great choice to sing this at Eurovision and introduce themselves to more people. Bad Behaviour: *** I'll agree with TaffyKat, a strange song for them to sing. But never the less, it's a pretty cool song and pretty catchy too. Defenetely not a bad song at all, but they've done better. Everyday Superstar: **** I love this song. Really. The chorus is sooo catchy. And I love the melody. Not all of the lyrics make sense though. My Miss America: *** When I listened to it for the first 5-10 times, I loved it. However, it's one of those songs you easily get enough of. Nice song, but not something I'd listen to on repeat. Your Biggest Fan: *** It's a nice song, but not their best on the album in my opinion. I don't like the melody that much, it's less catchy than other songs. Distortion: **** At first when I heard it, I was like: What the hell is this?! It's kind of strange, much different from other tracks on the album. But after some time, I've started to like it a lot. Yeah, it's different, but in a good way. Pop Rocket: ***** I love this song! Makes me want to dance whenever I hear it. It's really catchy too, and fun to sing along. Saturday Night : **** It was actually a hard choice for me wether to give this song *** or ****. It's a nice song, but I don't think it has a potential to become a hit or something. And I think the chorus is too repetitive. Techno Girl: ** The 'worst' song on the album. It's still not bad, but all the others are better. Doesn't have good lyrics, and you easily get enough of it. Wow Oh Wow: ***** Great song, love the lyrics and everything else. The 'wow oh wow' part is kind of funny, but it's alright. Celebrity: **** I like this song, but again, it's the kind of song that you might get enough of soon. It lacks more lyrics too, in my opinion, but the melody is great. Hold The World: ***** My favourite track. This song is so beautiful! Love the lyrics. It kind of makes me want to cry... But in a good way. |

I never heard that before... Where did you hear/read that? EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. It's hilarious. Looks like it was originally meant for a female singer... Didn't know that before  |

Ooh I like this idea! LIPSTICK: **** I really loved this as soon as I heard it. It's got a great beat and it's a fun song to dance to. Obviously because it's their Eurovision song it will always have that really special meaning behind it and I think it will always remind me of that. Also in the car full on blasting it is amazing!!  BAD BEHAVIOUR: *** Hmm...to be totally honest it's never been my favourite song. After a couple of listens it started to grow on me and I do really like it. But I am guilty of skipping it DON'T MAKE ME FEEL GUILTY lol EVERYDAY SUPERSTAR: *** I haven't really given this a proper chance and I just dunno really. After a few listens it's okay, it's not my fave on the album but it could grow on me MISS AMERICA: **** I actually love this song now. At first I wasn't too sure but after listening to it in the car I've had it on repeat for a while! I really like it. BIGGEST FAN: **** At first I was like really but then when I actually listened to it I realised that it's sort of a perfect song for them because it's totally like there are a lot of parallels with them and the fandom and this song. I do like this a lot and give me a few more listens and I'll be loving it DISTORTION: ***** First time I heard this on the wee 30 second preview thing I was like YES!! I really loved it instantly and I couldn't wait for the full song. I really really like this song. It's quirky and probably not what people would expect from J&E but I think that's what I like about it. It could be longer tho :/ aw wells haha POP ROCKET: ****1/2 GET ON MY POP POP ROCKET POP POP POP! What's not to love about that XD SATURDAY NIGHT: **1/2 I dunno yet...I'm not loving it but I don't totally hate it...but I kind of don't want to listen to it, I skip it...yeah...I'll have to give it time XD TECHNO GIRL: **(*1/2) I don't really like it tbh. But yet again I'm not gonna completely rule it out. I haven't given it a proper chance so...but yeah not feeling it at the mo :/ EDIT: I gave it another chance and I really like it now so I'll add another star and a half WOW OH WOW: ***** I love this song!! It does have a JLS-y vibe to it but that's not a bad thing. I think this is a great song and I can definitely see it being a hit if they decide to release it CELEBRITY: **** At first I thought it was kinda naff XD but I really like it now! HOLD THE WORLD: ***** LOVE!! OMG! First listen it wasn't my favourite but now I really love it. It gives me chills sometimes when I'm just listening to it. It's really emotive and beautiful. Great song! I WILL cry when I see this live... |

Lipstick - ***** - very professional. it has everything that a decent pop song needs. Bad Behaviour - ***** - I think it's the best hater-dedicated song that ever excisted! The message is like *we love our bad behaviour, what you're gonna do about it?* Everyday superstar - *** - The sound looks great, but the lyrics are weird. My miss America - ** - sound is okay. Terrible lyrics  Your biggest fan - **** - OK all the way! Distortion - *** - Hahahahaa! ;D I used to hate this. But it's growing on me. Pop Rocket - ***** - HOT! *Picturing 300,000 followers video* Saturday night - *** - Wait a minute!! Is this inspired from "Friday"? lol ;D Techno girl - * - Only song that I skip everytime I listen the album. Wow oh wow - ***** - S to the E to the X to the Y Celebrity - ***** - Makes me dance so hard! Hold the world - ***** - Absolutely love it! Very tokiohotel-ish!

My least favorite is CELEBRITY & TECHNO GIRL - my favorite of all is HOLD THE WORLD this could be a great christmas single with a well conceptualize video & marketing . it has that feeling of contentment & you just want to sit & its like the world just shutdown. Just you and the song. My guilty pleasure song is SATURDAY NIGHT it gives me that party feeling during my teenage days. I think Wow oh Wow is a very adult song - not teeny bopper song. Its really confusing coz this song makes them cross the line between being a teenager to adulthood but it does not represent the reality coz the twins are not yet ready to leave the "teen" years. and without a proper platform to launch it (media airplays) im really getting worried on this. MY MISS AMERICA for me its an anthem for youngsters easy lyric but catchY tunes. if you release it in asia its gonna be A hit - because of asian mentality about anything "america" BIGGEST FANS i love it i dedicate it to Jedward (i think we are a biggest fans in our own rights)
I really hope that get Up & Dance 0r Go Getter made it to UK/Ireland version - potential single.

I'm gonna be honest, Jedward's music isn't really the kind of music I usually listen to. I'm not even sure I would have liked some of the songs if it wasn't Jedward. Lipstick: ***** It will always be my favourite because I wouldn't know about them if they hadn't performed in Eurovision. Bad behaviour: ***** Love it love it love it  Everyday superstar: *** I both like and dislike the chorus, sounds a bit childish to sing about celebrities, but it's catchy and to see them dance to it is priceless My miss america: ** I agree with DD on this one. I don't like the lyrics. I almost always skip it. Your biggest fan: **** First I thought it was childish, but now I really like it. But I can't stand the robot voice "I'm your biggest fan, I'm your biggest fan" Distortion: *** LOVE the chorus, but the rest of the song naah Pop rocket: ***** One of my favourites! Saturday night: - I can't rate it because I haven't heard much of it.. I usually skip it. Techno girl: ** I hated it in the beginning, but it's slowly growing on me. Wow oh wow: ***** Can you do anything else than love it when they sing "erotic overload"? Celebrity: *** It's okay, don't know what to say really  Hold the world: ***** Can't even describe how much I love it <3 Beautiful and they should make more ballads. Since I have the German/Swedish version I will also rate the extra songs:Go getter: ***** Love it! I like the story in the lyrics. Yeah they might be a bit childish, but I think it's cute and I wanna be their princess Get up and dance: ***** CATCHY and it made EVERYBODY dance and jump in Stockholm. |
