I watched them this evening on a news channel and they brought a smile to my heart , not in a "sure God love them way" but well done for getting across the barriers that society imposes to stop people growing and great music too boot!!!

Saturday night in the final. They did not have to qualify.

darkpagandeath

Terrible punk band with Xfactor back story.. I would be less harsh if they were actual any good.

SarahBM

ELSA!!!!

dxhound2005

Romania at number 15 will be singing in Romanian. Any other non English?

BTW if they get the chance, Romania and Moldova always give each other 12 points same as Greece and Cyprus.

She could do with getting some of the cake which the Serbian girl obviously thrives on.

Not how it works tonight. 10 will be going through but their rankings will not be revealed until the whole thing is over after Saturday. You can hardly judge someone as favourite until you see all 27 finalists on Saturday.

Lana96

What are with those sleeves though????!!

SarahBM

holy jesus I have to cover my ears!

ebbsy

She cant really sing, but I would happily grant her asylum anytime.

major bill

I like Estonia and think they will be there or thereabouts,

the Russians bully tactics on Ukraine wont go down well with the voting public, good song but politics will play a part

that last song was ****e

I saw the Georgian bird last night in the dress rehearsal. She looks like a bird with the feathers and the beak on her head. If she wears the same gear tonight.

major bill

Here in Germany, Ireland is known in popular culture for a few things.

In recent times - how Ireland has gone from being one of the PIIGS to now having the fastest growing economy in the Eurozone. A recent editorial piece in Germany's premium broadsheet discussed how Ireland navigated the crisis through strong Governance, and is now a threat to Germany for capturing the hearts and minds of young European entrepreneurs.

Secondly, the quality of our dairy products. Kerrygold butter is a household name here in Germany. Irish beef is seen as a real premium product in good restaurants.

Thirdly, our record in the Eurovision. It might seem twee, but Rivervision was the finest pan-European advertisement for a county in the last 30 years.

Surely you mean Dairygold? Kerrygold is awful stuff.

Ficheall

Were we not one of the fastest growing economies in Europe before we joined the PIIGS ranks too? Have we actually recovered? :-/


Anyway, Italy are going to win.
