    Let's go out and spray some walls with grafitti while we're at it, or rip the recievers out of a couple of phone boxes!

    What fun!

    With Irelands entry i dont think we could win, even if it was rigged! Ill have to watch it for the comedy value alone! the tourism industry has probably realised tourists coming to Ireland want to visit a backward society full of leprechauns and enchanted castles, so throw in two cracking incestuos redheads and a few instruments and your on to a winnner, Irelands image will be taking a step back to the last century, Ireland will be a tourist mecca once more a master stroke of gargantuan proportions... Isnt it plain for all to see the "tourism" "industry" rigged you're a star!

    Yes, because potential tourists will base their holiday decisions on the ****in eurovision.

    you don't think they are going to bour millions of euro into something and expect to get nothing back do you?

    Of course that is what the organisers or the eurovision are hoping to do, attract viewers to their country as tourists.

    @dendenz, why would you want to put the irish entrant at the top of a poll, its not like its an inspiring song.

    Good lord, you mean someone actually came up with a song that doesn't make ears bleed and cause cancer in babies?

    but...but...it's our country's entry in a hugely important song contest!
    How can you be so unpatriotic?
    Shame on you!


    Oh and that song the Ukraine are entering is f**king A...prolly won't win but it's a belter.

    *There is one truthful paragraph and one not so truthful, in this post. Did YOU guess which was which?

    A guy I know has ginger hair and glasses. The local night club gave him a **** load of free passes to get in cause they thought he was the guy fro You`re a Star


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 328 ✭✭Tiffany


    It all depends on Ireland qualify from the semi-final, which I'm in much doubt we'll do with that sh!tty song.

    Anyway, I predict Iceland to win...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭billy the squid


    Iceland will do well i think, although I don't think she will win,

    but then it all depends on how it is presented during the live show on the big night that matters.

    Ruslana's song was a crap song, it was the stage show that won it for her last year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 328 ✭✭Tiffany


    Here are Dr. Tiffany's predictions on who might win:

    Iceland
    - This girl participated before in 1999 and came second. She's an excellent live performer and she's got four vixens parading and spinning around her on stage. The song has got a "Toxic" vibe to it and it's a definite qualifier and possibly a winner.

    Norway
    - Drag glam... well drag is a pretty cheap and unoriginal way to win. While I personally despise this song, I can see it qualifying for sure and a possible winner (but I'll cross my fingers it won't win).

    Greece
    - This is a cheap tacky ethnic-pop crap, but that didn't stop Greece from coming 3rd last year. Depending on her live-performance (she hasn't sung it publically live yet) she could definitely be Top 5.

    Malta
    - If a ballad wins, this is the one to watch out for. It's cliché and it's been done 100 times before, but it's sweet and charming and a sure bet to do well. She came 3rd before in 1998 with a similar ballad and she has a splendid voice.

    Hungary
    - Very Ruslana/Sanomi/Riverdance rip-off. What they did is combine all the winning elements of previous Eurovision songs and it could be a likely winner.


    Also, watch out for:

    Moldova
    - Grandma Beats The Drum, what a title! And yes, we'll see Grandma beating that drum on stage while we rock along to this nifty song. Could do very well.

    Poland
    - Very gypsy with some crazy dancing and a catchy "Lai lai lai" tune. Not a winner, but a sure Top 10.

    In fairness a guy singing about Las Vegas in a european song contest doesnt do it for me.

    the song is pretty crap to boot.

    His backing singers were from Limerick, they took a stab at it !! :D
