The Late Late Eurosingsong Show - 5th. May 2017

Welsh Megaman

Hey you.

The King of Eurovision Johnny Logan will reminisce about the contest that launched his career and he'll be sharing the stories behind his triple victories with ‘What's Another Year’, ‘Hold Me Now’ and Linda Martin's ‘Why Me?’

He'll also be telling viewers what it takes to win the contest these days and giving his take on Ireland’s Brendan Murray's chances of victory in Kiev.

The show will also be celebrating the best of the Eurovision with EuroSingSong 2017. Can the face of Eurovision in Ireland Marty Whelan ‘Rise Like a Phoenix’?

Or will it be a ‘Fairytale’ evening for country star Cliona Hagan. Will Eurovision superfan Mairead Ronan be crying out for ‘A Little Peace’?

Or will Crystal Swing’s Derek Burke be meeting his ‘Waterloo’? Could Eurovision winner Paul Harrington have them ‘Running Scared’ or will Moone Boy’s Rónán Johnston be singing ‘Hallelujah’?

Join me behind the couch at 9.35pm!

I have no words.

Haven't the country 'n Irish set enough outlets thanks to Tubridy as is without getting in on the Eurovision show as well? Bloody pathetic!

For Reals

Will Louis Walsh and Linda not be appearing on their show? Nice of them to let young Tubbs keep it warm.

It should be labelled:

"Louis Walsh's song for Ireland presents"
It's no more than a vehicle for Louis.

The Late Late is like a Saturday afternoon show for the poor folks who only got RTE 1 and 2 back in the 80's.

Where are Jedward?

I'm not actually asking where they are, you understand. I don't give a f*ck where they are. Just pointing out they went to it twice recently and seem to be have been omitted from this shambolic Eurofiller bullsh*t.

Did they fall out with dignity's Louis Walsh?

Welsh Megaman

In case you are all wondering 'Where's Louis Walsh to voice his opinion' tonight, he's on Ray's show tomorrow night.

No, really!

Dream on.

Atlantic Dawn

I'd say she's glad she's out first and not listening to the Eurovision heads waffling to her for a few hours.

Ol' Donie

I think the quality of the show has finally taken it's toll on the thread.

It's several years since I approached the show with any sort of belief that there might be someone interesting on it. And that was before they started these rubbish themed shows - Eurovision, Valentine's Day, the dreadful Country music ones...

People are finally switching off. I only ever watch for the thread. No chance in hell I'd watch otherwise.

Why is no one voting for Eimear Quinn's "The Voice", a fantastic song!

I'd love to see the cue cards Tubs and D'Arcy use, there must be a compulsory misery section highlighted in red that must be covered in each interview.

This thread makes the show

I was a while ago.

Jesus, it hurts in about a thousand ways. I'd be a crap cowboy in the old west. I'd have to walk everywhere.

Rock Lesnar

Shes won some of the biggest jump races and trained some of the best horses in horse racing and this show wants to focus on death and sadness, typical rte sh*te

It always set my teeth on edge... could have come down an octave.

Nom "My lovely horse", in the poll.

Atlantic Dawn

I watched the AP documentary last week, looks like there's a nice living to be made from being a successful jockey but by jaysus do you pay for it in injuries.

sligojoek

It comes down from the top
-
You think you have it bad but you don't have a disease or death in your life

Think how lucky you are while ignoring what's going on around you

Rock Lesnar

And its downhill from now on

Love this song, Hey mona, ooooh hey mona

sligojoek

Depends on the breed but all horses have their own personalities. I had more success on geldings, male horse who had the snip

What's the name of the horse she mentioned at the end?

It used to be all male horses until gender quotas were introduced, now there are more female horses taking part, then more women jockies were needed so it's mixed the purity so nobody really knows anymore.
