Eurosong '08

YelNATS

The show was saved by the final performance...well not saved but a good song.


How did that happen?

Mikosyko

Can anybody find the words to describe what was broadcast on RTE this evening?




Euroduck ftw!

Saruman

... interesting...

Mikosyko

Ok that was kinda weird....

Anyway let the girl win. (Maya) She has the best voice by far!

Saruman

Actually that ugly chick with the great body.. Leona has an excellent voice.

There's already a thread in AH

Maya was definately the best. She should win. Leona wasn't bad but she was too much of a Amy Winehouse wannabe. The guys were decent as well.

The less said about Dustin the better. I hope Dustin doesn'tdo well at all. Other wise we might see Podge & Rodge with a profanity laced "song"

I thought that song by Leona was great. Was very pleasantly surprised by it.

Flukey

"Lose the dancers!" is certainly a cry for some of those songs. At times those dancers were actually getting in the way of the singers, when they should not be there at all. No real outstanding songs there, but let's hope Dustin doesn't win. Leave that one for the discos. As for the lyrics, there is nothing to apologise for in Riverdance.

Dustin Wins, what started as a national joke has turned us into an international disgrace...

Hope Serbia is ready for the Duck, sorry Turkey...

What about Louis Walsh ... "she's not a man, she's a woman" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just incredible. Why is he allowed on TV ??

Alibear

I really hope Dustin wins!!

Saruman

Well he won Eurosong but as to Eurovision, i doubt it.. but i recken we will get more votes with him than in the last few years.... I think Europeans will get the joke.. he is the Atari Jaguar of Irish voting, be it Government or Presidential elections... and now Eurovision.

blue-army

I think he would do well in Eurovision...if people could understand what he's saying! I don't know how anyone will be able to work-out that strong dub accent....:D

billy the squid

It will be a repeat of silvia night, he will be booed off the stage on semi-final night, that is if the EBU don't pull the plug on it beforehand.

Look at the reaction of the crowd tonight. Even silvia night didn't get that reaction in the icelandic national finals in 2006

Interestingly, considering the ****e we were put through tonight, the ones that wern't picked are starting to pop up on youtube

I'm glad Dustin got through. It was a joke entry and the Eurovision itself is a joke, so fair enough I say.

So come on, don't take it so seriously, it's just a bit of fun really.

phasers

I'm glad he won, Ireland has no chance of winning the Eurovision so why not have a laugh with it?

he reminds me of the Estonian guys (I think) that sang "We are the winners of Eurovision" to the tune of "nah nah nah nah nah"
Ireland gave them 12 points! sure we always go for the novelty acts

Hagar

The competition was so bad last night that Dustin would have won on merit even without the whole "subvert the Eurovison" thing.

Seth Brundle

The Eurovision has lost the plot recently with block voting, more emphasis on the band/singer than the song, etc.
It used to be shíte - now its as bad as Big Brother!

Enii

It's a crap song and it was a mess of a performance. Only a moron could have voted for it.

Only a real moron would care what happens in the Eurovision. We should be doing everything we can to ensure we never have to host the hideous ****efest again, it's a massive waste of license fee money. Even more so than Turbidy.

Seth Brundle

I'm pleased to say that I still haven't heard it. If I continue doing as I have done to date then I may get to avoid hearing it at all!

Pappacharlie

I think Dustins song should be see as what it is. It's an effort to show how pathetic the whole Eurovision thing has become. Listen to the words!!
It is brilliant!! Two fingers to the Eastern Block!!

Alibear

I'm glad he won!
