Do Jedward Have The Irish Eurovision X Factor
Wednesday 09 February 2011 at 13:11
Ireland starts making its mind up this weekend on which act will represent the country in the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest. Bookmakers Boylesports and Paddy Power have a market on the five acts in contention with hair raising twins Jedward installed as 8/15 favourites.
John and Edward despite not winning the X Factor and often being ridiculed for their singing performances may well be going to Germany as the Irish look to improve on some dreadful Eurovision years. Jedward will be accompanied by 21 year old Rebecca Creighton which is expected to improve their chances.
Four other acts are in the Irish Eurosong betting process. Nikki Kavanagh is 11/4, Don Mescall is 4/1, Bling are 9/2 and the Vard Sisters are 10/1 all with Boylesports. The format for the Irish Eurovision selection process has been revamped with all the acts being mentored a la X Factor. The eventual winner will be chosen by a jury and phone voters.
All of the contestants are due to perform their songs on The Late Late Show on Friday. To place your Eurovision bets and to take advantage of the Boylesports and Paddy Power special offers click above.
