Eurovision hopefuls are announced!
The acts are Don Mescall, Jedward, The Vard Sisters, Nikki Kavanagh and a yet-to-be-named mystery act.
Viewers will get a sneak preview of the five acts in 'Eurosong 2011 - The Players', a special behind-the-scenes documentary which will be broadcast on Saturday 5 February on RTÉ One.

Who shall the mystery one be aswell?

If none of them are any you like,who would you like to sing for Ireland?

It has gotta be Rubberbandits

Lady Chatterton · 28-01-2011 5:10pm

Lets give Europe another reason to laugh at us - Rubberbandits...............:D

Bodhisopha · 28-01-2011 5:15pm

Difference between Rubberbandits and Dustin is the Rubberbandits actually have some musical talent and could probably do a half decent entry. The Limerick accents would probably grate on the European audience though.

sioda · 28-01-2011 5:59pm

Don mescall should be picked but talent rarely comes into choosing a eurovision entry :P

Agent Smith · 28-01-2011 6:00pm

Dickie Rock

The rubberbandits have ruled this out on their facebook page many times.

caseyann · 28-01-2011 11:21pm

Thats a pity.But they might be right,who ever made it famous anywhere by being on that show lol Would ruin them.

I could be wrong but I think he had a drug problem.

ejmaztec · 29-01-2011 3:18pm

Terry Wogan.

amdublin · 29-01-2011 3:22pm

Johnny Logan

Maybe he's the mystery singer

phasers · 29-01-2011 3:26pm

Send Jedward, Eurovision is all about novelty acts. Ireland need to stop taking it seriously.

Jagle · 29-01-2011 3:35pm

if its novelty they want send the rubberbandits, its a more accurate description as ireland as a nation god forbid europe thinks we are a bunch of jedwards

phasers · 29-01-2011 3:38pm

Europe wouldn't get Rubberbandits, it'd be Dustin all over again.

SEPT 23 1989 · 29-01-2011 3:43pm

Clannad would win it

You don't have to be completely unknown to be in the Eurovision. Celine Dion won it in 1988, and tatu were in it as well.

It's ridiculous for this to go to a public vote, Jedward have such a large established fanbase that none of the others have a chance.

What about Cliff?

Anyway nothing to suggest that Blue are all that famous in the rest of Europe.

Me too? I couldnt really shucks

lol sorry couldnt resist.All Joking aside would it be good for our tourism if we won it and had it here? I mean we should have won few years back then money would be booming in lol.They did not think ahead with our entries.
In saying that though is very much back slapping going on now more than it used to be.

:Round of Applause:

However I really think that Marilyn Bane, Tammy Browne, Shane Creevey and Gari Deegan should go for it. I don't think they will they are far too famous.

They're in that world famous band Bling. One of the most successful Irish bands. This is the really problem when Irish people don't here about their own music groups

Elmo · 09-02-2011 12:58pm

Flicked through the preview thing on RTÉ Player last week.

The mentor bringing Jedward goes. I was soooo embarrased that we sent a Turkey one year I had to do this.

So your sending Jedward???????

Anyway here is a link to the show

Jedward = Laughing Stock . fair enough they had some comedy value with the XFactor , but represent Ireland ,i mean come on enough is enough :rolleyes:
im sure there are genuine artists out there that would love a shot at it , also i dont think anyone outside Ireland or Britain will get it at all and just keep giving us Nil points.

Most people from Ireland don't even get it, so you're probably right.

Represent Ireland in the EUROVISION. It's as camp as a row of pink tents! A 'genuine' artist wouldn't want to be associated with it.

They don't want us to win it, we couldn't afford to host the eurovision!!

Things have changed since RTÉ last hosted the Eurovision. AFAIK RTÉ took up the full price of the event back in 1997, now the EBU provides money towards the event. RTÉ begged them to introduce advertising when they hosted the event.
