    M37 - Paul McCartney
    M38 - Moonlight Shadow. Another guilty pleasure
    M39 - How did these get drawn together in the qualifying round?! I'll go with Billie Jean; the land Imagine describes sounds very dull and monocultural in a way and I was never entirely comfortable with the message. That's nitpicking of course, but it's a tough draw
    M40 - Floyd

    Quick suggestion - is it possible for the post with the results to appear in a different colour (maybe red) so it stands out more?

    Some people bold their choice as a vote, which looks exactly like the results.

    Enjoying this so far though (my first dip into one of these!)

    Good to have you here :)

    I will give your suggestion a go, it will help those on desktop site but I don't think colours work on mobile site.

    It was a very brief resurgence in the charts for Nana. She was also in the top three in the UK charts at the time. That said, I think she was always quite popular in Ireland.

    truly awful mixups. Tempted to abstain the first three, but best to pick the least worst and move on.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 7,266 Mod ✭✭✭✭cdeb


    M41 - Grandma
    M42 - don't know either; abstain
    M43 - Super Trouper
    M44 - either of these would win the other three ties. I'll plump for Orinoco Flow

    I've seen this!!! :(
    Nana Mouskouri is a legend. I saw her a few years ago in the National Concert Hall at her 80th birthday and was very impressed that her voice was still very solid.

    On the votes
    Abstain on the first one, not a fan of either of them
    Madonna Who's That Girl
    Nana Mouskouri Only Love (not her best song, but have to support my fellow Greek chanteuse)
    Enya Orinoco Flow (Sail Away) - one of the best songs of then 80s, true magic!!

    Edit: just checked that Falco beat Enya 6-0. Unbelieveable. . .:mad:

    We have a former politician in the next group :D

    As an aside, how did Enya get zero votes (tie was over before yours), arguably the most well known song from Ireland's best selling solo artist and only second to U2 overall.

    Are there no one from Donegal here only me? :D
