I think they have great charm; there is something very endearing about not pretending to be anything you're not. Hope they win the whole thing.

Ladbrokes now quote them as second favourite. At the beginning of the week you could have got 40/1. Think by Saturday they may be runaway favourites.

They are young and energetic and honest and fun; good for them; they might surprise everyone (I got them at 30-1).

They remind me of Leopold and Loeb. But creepier.

I dreamed that Jedward won the Eurovision Song Contest. I never want to eat cheese again! I might vote for Moldova just for the heck of it.

They're cute as a button and you're right JK their appeal is that they don't pretend to be anything they're not. Their Eurovision Semi Final performance was not the best musically, but it had lots of joy and energy in it. Good for them.

Hate them.

A - She's the only woman there with three c***s !!!

Get yer own material itk!

Jedward were great; the French boy sounded out of tune to me.

I really liked the Hungary song too.

Slovenia - surprisingly good; didn't notice her in the semis; thought she blew the roof off in the final with no-one.

The only halfway decent song was by Moldova

Actually I thought the standard was pretty high; just no real hits. I thought Jedward were magic with a nothing song; Blue were OK with a nothing song; Azerbaijan won with a nothing (Swedish) song; beating Sweden with a nothing song... but some of the nothing songs were OK.

interesting voting this year.

I have to say well done Italy for going out on a limb with a light jazz number and surprising everyone by coming second.

France was nowhere to be found (a poor performance), Hungary was also nowhere (my favourite).

Azerbaijan did well. It's a good song.

Blue put in a piss poor vocal performance.

Ghastly show as usual. Letting every single country's host ramble on about 'what a great job you've done' is a disgrace - this is 2011, for god's sake! Woeful TV. And what a great choice of dress for the female presenter, showing off both her flat chest and her pregnancy (I HOPE she's pregnant!). And the music - no one with any honesty would tolerate most of that pap in normal circumstances. Why this TV travesty goes on unchanged is a mystery.

Voting was surprising this year.

Italy was a real outsider yet got votes across the board and came second.

Azerbaijan was not my favourite but a good song nonetheless, so well done.

Surprised at how poorly Hungary's Kati Wolf fared, but not surprised at Blue, who delivered a vocal mess as expected.

Just glad those awfull talentless has-been blue boys didn't win and also the annoying Jedward.Hot favourite France finished in the bottom half, although he did have a great voice, its not an opera competition.

hungary failed because she could not give the song the performance it required, it is a great song and she was not

i'm pleased that france didn't win because they had already booked the venue to host next year's contest,
