They beat both the UK's entry (Blue) and Germany's entry (Lena) in the process. They returned to the competition the following year with "Waterline" and performed in Baku, Azerbaijan. After qualifying from their semi-final, they came in 19th place in the grand final.

They have recorded four albums: Planet Jedward (all covers), Victory and Young Love (original songs written for them), and their latest release, Voice Of A Rebel (all songs written and produced by John and Edward themselves).
