Our Thoughts? Well you can’t help but love the guys. They’ve proved themeselves to be the most successful act from their year in the X Factor (spare a thought for Joe watching Eurovision tonight with a tear in his eye) and with Lipstick they are looking to take on the whole of Europe. The real problem is though that to manythey will be totally out of context. It took a many people in the UK time to warm to them, and here they only have one show to win over voters. Sometimes they can be incredibly out of tune when singing live. While this doesn’t matter to us, because that’s part of their appeal, outside of the Jedmania bubble this could put nations off them.
We’re very impressed with the boys for putting this video together though and interested to see what they can put put when they have more than just one week to prepare.
They will have many points from Great Britain though, so they’ll be off to a flying start on that count.
Chances? Their chances have gone up massively with UK bookmakers as Lipstick has grown in popularity. However, do remember these have to balance the bets, and with their army of fans getting behind the odds could be skewed significantly.
They should have twelve points from Great Britain though, so they’ll be off to a flying start on that count.
We have to face it though, they are either going to do very well, or arfully.
