I do like the idea of expert jury members.
I do know that Jedward is popular and would give Junior Eurovision a higher profile.
But is the choice of these two brothers a good idea as expert jury members? My answer is no for the following reasons
01 – First they are brothers and as such would have more or less the same taste and so it is like doubling the chances of those songs they like. Luckily I was informed that they will have just one vote as JEDWARD and not as two separate individuals.
02 – They are just too energetic and could make some of the smaller and shyer children feel out – they sort of dominate with their presence and may push many of the actual singers in the background. I remember their press conference in Baku where they jumped from table to table and chair to chair all over the press conference hall.
03 – They are from a participating country and could favour the entry from their home country – Ireland.
04 – I also believe they were involved in the Irish selection and so to me this sounds like a conflict of interest.
I would rather have them during the interval act and got someone else from a non participating country to be an expert jury member – Zoe from Austria or Laura from Belgium come to mind.
This is my personal opinion and anybody is free to agree or disagree with me.
