    "Ireland, nul points"

    We could have the best song ever made and still wouldn't get in an ass' roar of winning it due to the bloc voting. Tele votes is where they make their money so that's not going to change. Pointless waste of time and money sending acts.

    Lost all interest in it when they allowed Australia to enter. Another money making decision.

    Do you actually want Ireland to win and then have to pay to host next year's incarnation of this slop?

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    That explains why we've never won it.

    We won't have to worry about that but if by some miracle we did win it I'd have no problem paying for us to host it. Much worse waste of tax payers money happens every single day.

    Some people enjoy the spectacle of it (I used to but not anymore), some don't. Each to their own.

    Woke.

    Go woke go broke. The Eurovision already had a woke winner when the bird with the beard won it. Ireland is about a decade behind, as per.

    These days it's more a gimmick than the song that wins.

    So I suggest we send something completely off the wall. Like Enya, but in a shamrock dress doing a heavy metal version of the Hills of Donegal.

    We've never won it since televoting became prominent in 1998.

    Do keep up.

    No it's not.

    The gimmick days came and went in the mid '00s, the likes of Lordi and the Ukrainian girls dressed up like Xena etc.
    Hence Ireland sending Dustin in 2007 odd.

    These days real songs are back winning it, the Portuguese one a few years back was a perfect example.

    I think you're the issues with keeping up.
    There was the odd issue in the early 2000's but that settled down.
