In Eurovision Song Contest Odds Jedward Look To Do Well

Ireland has been proud of its record in the Eurovision Song Contest and with the idiosyncrasy about to unveil itself for the 56th time in Baku in Azerbaijan, there is much speculation on how the Emerald Isle will fare. For the second time Jedward, the twins who first found fame on The X Factor, carry the fortune of their nation on their shoulders. Not known for their sense of responsibility or gravitas, the act which polarises many, will still be keen to do well and improve on their position last year and bookmakers Paddy Power's odds of 15/8 that they will finish in the top four, will surely please the two brothers.

Ireland did not join the competition until 1965, which means they dont have a direct route to the Grand Final like Spain, France, Germany and the UK, they are required to go through the semi final procedure, but regardless of this they have won a record breaking seven times. Dana was the first Irish singer to win in 1970 with the unforgettable, 'All Kinds Of Everything', but the last win was in 1996 with Eimear Quinn and 'Mysterious Woman', so another win is long overdue.
