You need to expunge Louis Walsh, Linda Martina and Hazel Kaneswaran from the song selection process and open it up to a public vote.

That's if it is really important to people. Which it really is not. Apart from media types.

Public vote won't work because people will vote for the person from their area & the auld ones will vote for Jonny.

Luckily you get pick and choose what thread to read. You don't actually have to read this one, or even post in it if you don't want to!

I love the Eurovision but i won't get to see it tonight

I have it set to record but it won't be the same as watching it live. Have an each way bet on Norway and Bulgaria. There's a chance of me winning something on the Bulgaria bet but slim chance with Norway. I just bet on it because I love the song!

I noticed in the last few years its mainly Eastern European acts who win the contest, they're all just voting for each other. I agree with everyone else get rid of that old You're a star panel and anything to do with Simon Cowel, make something fresh and original with some of the props from Electric Picnic or Body & Soul festival. RTE need to be shown a lack of confidence by the young viewers, they need to be closed down and scrapped.

I seriously think, at this stage, Ireland has a very slim chance of winning in the foreseeable future. We just don't select good acts/songs these days. FFS we had Dustin as our entry a few years back.

The Eurovision has changed fundamentally since our glory days in the 90s We just don't cut the mustard anymore.

Meanwhile, anyone see Israel's act? Now he was HOT!!;):D

Only one eastern European country has won in the last 5 years. And for the most part they deserved it because they had the best song and stage show.

Russia will rig it for Bulgaria.

But is it not just a gay convention?

More class A drugs are taken at Eurovision parties than at any other type of social gathering.

The Irish entry was ****ing awful.

Thank god that song didn't get in. Among Ireland's worst and most embarrassing entries. No character, no substance, no identity - modern Ireland in a nutshell, not surprising from a bankrupt country, intent on making its population homeless, and getting them to pay for hard industrially fluoridated water unfit for human consumption.

He looked and sounded like a eunuch whose balls may never drop. Hope they do. Ireland used to be a country with real men and real women who could win this thing. We used to be a lot of things, alas. Last year was ok, and deserved to get in. I'll admit that.

You will fine that **** songs from Ireland won't win anyway, no matter how big our Aussie and UK diaspora vote.

JupiterKid · 13-05-2017 08:57PM

Denmark and Portugal have very strong songs. I hope one of them wins.

Specialun · 13-05-2017 08:58PM

Moldova all the way

Awesome song. In my top 3.
1) Romania 2) Moldova 3) Hungary 4) Belgium.
I voted 1). As long as one of those 4 win, I'm happy. Hard to choose between them.

You can count on a drunken Aussie to misbehave!
To be fair to that girl, she didn't bat an eyelid!

Why are Australia in the Eurovision song contest? Leave it to you know the EUROPEANS.

Nabber · 13-05-2017 11:06PM

Port and Cheese leading the way.
I thought China or Congo would win it.

MilesMorales1 · 13-05-2017 11:09PM

Continental Europeans are a strange lot, is my main take away from this show.
