    "a farce", "disgrace" etc etc. The public voted for it and it won, What's the issue????

    If I had been involved in that tasteless fiasco of a sh#tshow, I would be doing drugs as well.
    No judgement here , but seriously they do look a bit ' glittery' in that twitter clip.

    Out of the frying pan and into the fire, you'd have to listen to graham Norton then.

    I tuned into Graham as I can’t stand Marty....but ended up switching back to Marty! Graham seemed to be annoyed by the whole thing

    Like the other poster mentioned there was better songs that should have won

    Ireland came last in their semi final and received a very tiny number of votes..

    Another hear ahead and Rte will pull another singer out of a corner, spend a pile of money preparing the singer and the exact will again be earned

    Time to withdraw from the contest until RTE management are able to make a serious effort to find act.

    Why not a national song contest on tv and pick the next act there in full view of the public . Shameful TB be throwing licence fee money any acts that are not producing.

    The best song definitely did not win tonight. Italy’s heavy rock number was okayish but not deserving of a win. That accolade should have gone to France or Malta.

    Have no idea how Switzerland did so well with the national juries, but the popular phone vote gave Lithuania the highest points. The splitting of the vote between juries and the viewing audience changes the ranking too much in the final part of the vote.

    Here is one of the many twitters going around. Make your own mind up.
    His bandmate seems to be nudging him to stop doing something. What, I don't know.

    The Beatles did drugs, Jimi Hendrix did drugs, Elvis did drugs, Johnny Cash did drugs, Bob Dylan did drugs, most musicians do drugs. What’s the issue??

    I never said there was any issue. I don't even know what he did or didn't do, and its up to him what he does anyway.

    Some people get so maaaad when others don’t agree with their opinions on music

    So your favourite song didn’t win and you hated the one that did, so what? Calm down and move on...

    You mean better songs in your opinion? It's entirely subjective, there's no objective winner

    They where never going to. That yoke only won the last time because she had a gimmick going on. If people wanna complain about the best song not winning ffs look at that year.

    So the new precedent is doing drugs on live TV.

    I have an issue with drugs.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,647 ✭✭✭✭ACitizenErased


    I find it hard to believe that a professional, well-known band such as Maneskin would be stupid enough to do drugs on telly
