Eurovision Song Contest 2023

Welsh Megaman

:(

Time RTE cut the crap. Either stage a proper effort at Eurovision or let TV3 or TG4 have a go. Sick of this. It’s like working your arse off to get to college and then not being arsed showing up for lectures.

hope RTE don’t dare get any of our previous winners back on to rubber stamp tge dhitshow they’re creating these sage. Not fit to tie their shoes.

Why don't they get rid of the feckin jury vote ?

Its embarrassing ...everybody going cha cha cha and Loreen the winner barely a cheer 🙄

I'll never give a live presenter stick again - a seasoned pro like Norton could not do it well - so shows a lot.

The crowd have turned.

Is the Eurovision fan bases obsession with Sweden finally over...

Why didn’t they give Norton a box to stand on, like our man in the park.

Lads will ye stop cribbing, that's the system that was developed to dampen the geographical voting and it has.

Sweden won handsomely, she was bookies favourite and had huge momentum. It's no shame on Finland who put on a great show.

Personally I thought Ukraine might get 1 million public points and Sweden would have to host on their behalf again, but no, they'll get to host in their own right and that's good.

Bon nuit a tous!

Poor Graham looks like a spare part at the end with three ladies😁

I dont like her - but Alicia stole the show all week ?

Happy that Sweden overall. No stand out winner for me.

Hopefully Sweden equallying our wins will give them the kick up the behind they need to pick a decent song/signer for us.

hayrabit

who really won ??

going on Public Vote it should never've been ye turnippes

163 ahead at half time - only wins by 57 !!

any kind of maths tells us that there's an odious smell of mendacity over the Juries and whatever shenanigans they were involvede in

DISGRACE !

Absolutely.

Everyone has a favourite song. No use crying fix when your favourite doesn't win.

As for our record. We don't deserve to be ahead we've been so shi*te for 27 years.

Sweden are a great Eurovision country. Way ahead of us, we're in the last century.

Even her voice is gone - odd win

Germany was rock. Not everyone likes that style of music. They were very loud.

screamer

The beat of that song is very like Euphoria….. but it’s nowhere near as good a song, bit of a nothing song really

gmisk

The semi final breakdowns will be out soon...did Ireland come last or second last in theirs..these are the big questions ha

Say Your Number

Euphoria is one of the best winners, don't think I'll have the same fondness for this in ten years time.

Indestructable

I've no idea wtf she is even saying.

Busi_Girl08

As much as I love Graham, would it not have been more appropriate to have the Ukrainian presenter for the votes with Hannah?

Scarlah for the UK

Expected for Sweden, don't think it was deserved. Would have loved Finland or Australia.

siblers

I don't really get why this song is so popular, it's kinda shite.

Did they reveal where the Irish public votes went to? I've been watching the BBC.

When did TV3 join the EBU ?

TG4 should do it.

Furze99

Not even convinced she’s singing!

yerwanthere123

Full results should be out soon. Reckon Ireland avoided last place in the semi?

BorneTobyWilde

It was a great song, with a unique performance, deserved winner

Tina Turnerish look/feel about it “We don’t needs another Hero” - but jayzuz no comparison after that
