Yeah, I think they did really well, too! We can be proud of our sweeties! But I was so shocked that they has given them just a few points! They were amazing, I think!
It was surprising that Italy, Greece or Georgia had a high placing. And some very talent artists hadn't a high placing, like Estonia (I really like her!) or Switzerland (she's so sweet!). I was so surprised! And I thought that Lena will be in the Top5 ...
But wasn't that a great show? (: Anke and Stefan were so amazing!

I think they did everyone proud last night! They were great! So disappointed though..I really thought they could win, but thats political voting for you! If Jedward couldn't do it for Ireland, I doubt anyone else can...the days of the Uk and Ireland winning seem long gone unfortunately.

I think they did everyone proud too, I know I'm really proud of them! Though I kinda wanted them to do a bit better than 8th, but 8th is still really, really good (and at least they did better than Blue! haha) And you could see how happy they were and what it means to them.
JedwardGenius said that Jedward gave Ireland their highest placing since 2000! Trust Jedward to bring in the points! ;D
I agree Stevie, I don't understand how Italy, Greece or Georgia got as many points as they did, but whatever. So happy for Azerbaijan! ;D They were my second fav and I voted for them and was singing along. If J&E weren't going to win then I'm glad they did.

I agree with all you said about political voting.
Azerbaijan is always great. watch Euroviosion 2009 Azerbaijan entry. they came third. but they were great. Arash & Aysel. Arash is Iranian and he also wrote the song and lyrics and sang with Aysel in Eurovision for Azerbaijan. He made me proud to be Iranian.

I was lucky enough to have been there ( since Thursday) and I have to say, John & Edward made me very proud with their performance, and by the way they conducted themselves as we have seen all week (on vids of press confrences etc) and were not, as Eric Sade said to the Swedish press , "Jedward are my warm up act" They can hold their heads up high with their placing, and I have to say on a personal viewpoint, I'm so glad they beat Blue.
Blue did get a big cheer in the auditorium, but John & Edward had everyone standing up and dancing when they sang; and the audience were singing along to the chorus it was amazing to see. We had lots of free Jedheads to hand out, and boy, did the go quickly, ( people even asked if we'd sell ours - lol ) everyone kept saying, "Jedward will win". They were so popular. I have to say I loved the Moldova song - bonkers, but great fun to sing and dance along to.
But ...............the biased political voting - it was a joke. People were booing loudly as it was so blatant - but for that, they would have had a good chance to have won.
As for the show, it was a great to see how they put it all together so quickly between each song, very slick, and was a real good evening; the atmosphere inside was electric, outside the feel good atmosphere in the city was wonderful all the countries people were so fun and friendly, but for me, the main thing to hear, was so much positive comments for the boys from other nationalities, it was just wonderful, as here in the UK it's rare to read in the press or talking to people whose only comment is to say, "they can't sing or dance". I like to think - this proved to non Jed fans - that they certainly can - and entertain too in bucketloads.

The German ESC fans loved us. The Spanish were interested too and some Italians though not many. The British avoided us like the plague though

The British avoided us like the plague though really thats annoying :/ anyways a friend of mine was watching with me and she got all the scoring/voting right on the spot and she doesnt even watch eurovision . she just joined me to watch Jedward and to vote for them (after i treat her for pizza dinner) she is saying that its all political and she was really surprised that ireland placed 8 - lolz when UK got 6 pts she said it was mean. I explain to her that jedward has dedicated fans in the UK and tehy vote like crazy - she even saw me used 4phones to vote including hers John and edward really did great. So glad with their post eurovision activities - its a good platform for them. so proud of them.

John & Edward were absolutely amazing!!!! Even my Grandma liked their performance to tell the truth I wasn't going to watch Eurovision 2011. I was so disappointed in it, because it's not a SONG contest but a POLITICAL contest and the voting part is so unfair... But JEDWARD brought me back, I watched the final only because of our crazy twins. Though it was so sad that they didn't win, however I'm very-berry proud of them cause their song was the coolest one and the performance was just amazing!!! And now I'm really thankful to Eurovision because it made me a BIG Jedfan!If there were no ESC maybe I would have never known John and Edward =

I loved the beginning of the voting were Ireland became runner-ups. But the more it became towards the end, the more angry i got. Who the hell just won...
