The Late Late Show Eurosong Special - 22nd. February 2013

Welsh Megaman

Mods - feel free to merge with the 'Eurovision 2013' thread, but I just had to post this...

The one and only LORDI will be performing their winning Eurovision song 'Hard Rock Hallelujah' this Friday just to rub it in Brian Kennedy's face.

Prepare for the Arockalypse, Tubs!

Years in the music biz........ WTF????

What i love about Lordi is that Brian Kennedy and RTE still think they were hard done by that year...almost as if Lordi were sent in the same manner as Dustin!!

JonathanAnon

Lordi lead man's statement from this week on the Twitter machine.

MrOXOFFICIAL We'll perform on Irish Eurovision song contest on friday. Good that they can't choose us, I really have no energy to do it all again.

Ash.J.Williams

1. muck
2. not bad
3. plagiarized (clearly Rhianna)
4. muck
5. decent tune for the generic cliche it is

vicwatson

Bring back Dustin in his shopping trolley - we ain't gonna win it no matter who goes.

eh i dunno

Is the whole show eurovision based?? Bet Dana, Linda Martin, Johnny Logan etc are rolled out again

And Twink, sure she had nothing to do with Eurovision, but RTE sure love shoving her down our throats on the Late Late!

Are ya joking? This is RTE, why would you want to get other stuff on when you can do a whole programme about a meanlingless "song" contest? They'd have one of these on every week if they thought they'd get away with it

Ash.J.Williams

They've really assembled a crack team of experts in the music industry to choose our entrant this year.

BlaasForRafa

I'll watch the Lordi bit...but I bet Tubs asks the frontman a bunch of cringe-inducing questions.

It was definitely a case of 'sour grapes' from Kennedy, dismissing them as a novelty act. Image aside, 'Hard Rock Hallelujah' is simply a great song that clearly deserved to win.

I remember that aul coot Phil Coulter was giving out in 03 when Ruslana 'Wild Dancing' won for Ukraine. He came across as somebody who was really out of touch, even in 2003 it was obvious it was no longer just a song contest but also an entertainment spectacle. Mickey Joe Hart with his green guitar and backing singers looked 10 years too late for the competition.

jimmynokia

Tonight should be fun :rolleyes:

grey_so_what

I have a date with Mr. Bond (eat your heart out MrsD007....:D) so will be recording Mr. T............

Bring back Lordi and Jedward I say!!.......There's a sentence that you don't hear often........;):p

Ruslana won in '04. We sent Chris Doran that year.

Sertab Erener won for Turkey in '03, beating t.A.T.u. by three points. And, of course, t.A.T.u. wasted their time complaining about us using our back-up jury vote...

Saw Johnny Logan just off Grafton Street during the week so I presume he will be on.

mydogjack

Number three is Rihanna/Pink all wrapped up in one and that's where my money is.

Welsh Megaman

Marty Whelan, Bill Hughes and Evelyn O'Rourke are also on as part of 'the Eurosong panel'.

Pighead

C'MON DUNDALK. LET'S DO THIS!

phonypony

Could have at least ironed that flag!

Go Harvey Go

I may not have Zoe down as favourite - but if she won, it would be about as surprising as water being wet...

Johnny sits at that ATM all the time these day!

Toto Wolfcastle

What the hell did Danny DeVito do to deserve this? Was yer one joking about that?

Welsh Megaman

Out of the five, my personal favourite is Inchequin.

cofy

Evening all, I can't wait for Danny de Vito:D.

Grey - hope you have a good time with Mr. Bond.

wnolan1992

Lordi are playing?

I'm in.

Go Harvey Go

Who represented us at Eurovision last year: Linda Martin, Jedward or Johnny Logan?

They may as well ask us what 1 + 1 is... :rolleyes:

Duckworth_Luas

Annual Marty pic!

BabysCoffee

Has Marty been at the Bailey's?

Go Harvey Go

Bill: "I love people who love the sounds of their own voices."

I guess this means you love the sound of your own voice, too, Bill... :rolleyes:

calex71

"Tv supper" thats a new one on me

murpho999

This is the same every year just different songs.

So wrong that Late Late show picks Euro entry and they wonder why we don't win anymore.

Hitchens

Evelyn has beautiful eyes ...sigh :cool:

Go Harvey Go

Marty: "Are we still hungry for success?"

Audience cheers in agreement... :rolleyes:

amdublin

Who's your wun in the orange dress?!

evening all, what time is twink on at ?

wnolan1992

Ugh, Alexander Rjybek... robbed Yohanna that year...

Welsh Megaman

Wow, 4 whole years since Alexander Rybak!

cofy

I like Marty, got a chance to speak to him once, he seems to be a very genuine and nice man. At least the acknowleges the audience and includes them in what is going on.

Evelyn's "TV Supper" was met with blank expressions here too.....

Duckworth_Luas

Ryan looks strangely casual this evening, what's different? Looks like he's been playing 5-a-side with the lads and then a few shandys!

Go Harvey Go

Correction, Ryan - it can go anywhere except Ireland.

BabysCoffee

I loved Alexander Rybak
