So the boys done good. They did indeed just "get out there and kept it simple". The vocals were slightly ropey at times, but that's to be expected when you're deploying highkicks in the tightest jeans known to fertility... Otherwise, they made this hack feel a tingling sense of pride. It was a nice feeling, one not since felt since the early 1990s...

Here are all the photos from last night's semi final, and the frenzied tweets to below (some of them are a bit uncooth, apologies). You can also feast yer peepers on Jedward's performance on Best Of The Web(as well as their new video), and Saturday night's running order (following the Tweetfest). We're on sixth. And, given the roaring success last night, I shall be tweeting Saturday's festivities also (twitter.com/EntertainmentIE)... from my phone... 'cause my computer's banjaxed. Expect more spelling mistakes than normal.

#Eurovision First up Bosnia Herzegovina... Who seem to have wheeled a load of vagrants in off the street. NIL POINTS
#Eurovision - Austria next, a 21-year-old girl on her todd - massive calves. And, Marty, she's blatantly singing in Engerlish
#Eurovision, Austria: Celine Dion but with better teeth and legs. But formulaic and warbley as f***. MAKE IT END
#Eurovision Moving on from Austria's Aerosmith rip off, we've got The DOOOOTCH. And man does he need to wash his hair
#EurovisionDutch dude's got a bang of the Christie Dignam's off him.Back to more pressing matters: are we not at a disadvantage going last?
#Eurovision Well done Slovakia, twin Playboy versions of Bree off Desperate Housewives. And they can just about sing.
#Eurovision Adbreak! Time for tay. My fellah seems to have suspiciously sloped off to the little boy's room after the Slovakian performance
#Eurovision That was hardly an adbreak... Ukraine on now - would love if the bird doing the ort in the sand box would draw a giant c**k.
#Eurovision Honestly impressed with the sand art, but the song is pants. And why isn't anyone singing in their own language?
#Eurovision How did they manage to find a herd of good looking boys from Sweden? VOGUE YOU B*ST*RDS... Popular on the eye, not to the ear.
#Eurovision Cyprus... Well, at least they're singing in their own language? Badly.
#Eurovision... It's the Wiggles. Moldova = garden gnome flashback. Moldova officially my favourites thus far.
#Eurovision... Bulgaria: Tank Girl does Dolores O'Riordan. Her tat sleeve is impressive. As is the stripping. Finally a good voice!
#Eurovision Apparently Marty's like "an octopus in the box tonight" - cause he's on twitter - @martyvision
#Eurovision Macedonia: Yiiiiiss, musikah, etc. Interesting wedding cake decorations he's got dancing behind him. Cue the squeezebox
#Eurovision (Israel)Dana's lost a bit too much weight. Again, Ding Dong to the backing ensemble. 
#Eurovision Ah, so this is where Caroline Morahan's been hiding herself - Slovenia. Jaysis the clevage on the peripherals :-/
#EurovisionRomanian graffiti artists are hot. The lead singer is not. More like a Feeling trib act than PinkFloyd. his pants make me sad
#Eurovision Estonia... I've never seen Lily Allen wear curtain ties and make tissues go hard, Marty
#Eurovision Estonia need to go away. Quietly go away, and seek out 7-year-olds who'll appreciate their tuneless music. 
#Eurovision Yay, more lap dancers and blokes in dodgy pants singing rhymes. They love Belarusso much they're singing in English
#EurovisionLatvia are bringing us Elvis Costello meets Brian McFadden according to Marty... He's not wrong. Elvis is not playing that guitar
#Eurovision... Brian McFadden on serious 'roids.
#Eurovision Noooooooo - the rapping killed it. Yep, the rapping, too much...
#Eurovision Thanks Christ it's nearly Jedward time.. Just don't fall over and land on an enlarged nodule lads
#EurovisionDenmark's song is just as original as their hair...
#Eurovision Nawww lookit them... So excited. They look like the Legion of Doom
#Eurovision Fair play to those jeans, they're hanging on for dear life... Bit like the vocals :-/ C'mon lads!!!
#Eurovision They look mental. Actually feeling a strange sense of pride
#Eurovision A load of old butchers turned up to support #jedward
#Eurovision Yep. Still definitely voting for Moldova
#EurovisionJohn nearly kicked a camera. Those pants must be stitched together with fishgut
#EurovisionBloke presenter looks like love child of Les Dennis & Simon Pegg... If the votings closed, #jedward got about 10mins worth :-/
@mckaisling: @EntertainmentIE and female presenter looks like love child of annabel croft and linda hamilton!
Naww, thank you - and Im not even drunk! RT @Phreak:@EntertainmentIE you're nearly more entertaining than #eurovision this evening.
#Eurovision Question, why do the UK automatically qualify when they've been as bad as us the last few years? Lee - lose the hairy lip worm
#Eurovision: Estonia through
#Eurovision Romania and they're scary beetlejuice pants, and Moldova - WHOOP!
#Eurovision WE'RE IN!
#Eurovision Jedward looked like a mad two headed spangly transformer there :-) Austria's leggy woman through too, as well as the sand box
#EurovisionBoob collection from Slovenia through
#Eurovision and last through, Mr Popular from Sweden. Right, I'm signing off as phone about to melt. Ich bin ein #jedhead.

Biggest surprise of the night - previous Eurovision winner Dana International not getting through to the finals. Now that's got to hurt.
