    Slightly off topic...

    Was there a GLBS mega-conference in Athens last night in the same venue as the Eurovision?

    All the close-ups of the audience & you would swear that they were all sh1teing tent pegs. Lots of tight t-shirts, cropped hair & hugging. Even Tricolour feather boas! Jaysus!!!

    so...even thought Brian's song is too slow comparing to others and too boring (my personal) opinion, however he made it to the final:rolleyes:

    figured out why Silvia Night (Iceland) got booed - apparently she had not been endearing herself to the Greek public.

    I guess they failed to realise she is a character, along the lines of Ali G.

    Oh well, its a pity, it would've made a great eurovision with Silvia and Lordi battling it out for success.

    Here's her performance (low quality) from last night.

    Germany have a coutry song.

    The boring Irish have a ballad.

    It must be the most boring song of the lot.

    "Every Song is a Cry for Love".........That is news to many protest singers.

    Has Brian Kennedy done recearch to back these claims up?

    That song is a real dramatic belter that would have won about 10 years ago - he was even on his knees for part of it - (Good man Bryan!)
    I know it was very cheesy but for the first time in several years I didn't cringe with embarassment seeing the Irish entry

    When is Bryan performing for Ireland tonight? I looked at the schedule on RTE and it's not giving much away: http://www.rte.ie/tv/eurovision/finalrunningorder.html

    Heh, anyone see the entry for Macedonia?! Trying to compare that with innocent Bryan from Ireland, dear oh dear!! It's mad :D

    Really? - I kinda liked it. Worthy of a point or two compared to others. Every year I swear not to watch this but always end up getting sucked into it. Here I go again!:D
