    Hello All.

    I'm guessing some old friends from the various Big Brothers, I'm a Celeb and Love Island threads are posting in here. Hope all is well.

    Ya, RTE cant afford to take the risk of a song winning, it was a typical forgetable Eurovision entry but it doesn't look like we are deliberatley trying not to win like when we sent Dustin.

    Anyway, looking forward to the 2 semis and the final, light entertainment at its finest, especially with this thread.

    Groningen.. I was asked to go there by a pig farmer's daughter on Erasmus here in 1998. I didn't go. Should have, she was nice.

    Most of those who vote just tune in for the craic (well the final anyway)

    I like the vibe of the song, her Voice is a bit average though.

    Belgium should have won with Blanche and City Lights a few years back.

    This song has been ridiculously underrated throughout the process. Some tune.

    Don't you hate when the cameraman decides to run laps during your performance.

    Michelle Collins!


    I like this song, easily the best so far.


    Why are they all sounding so vocally weak? Has something changed, not allowed use that autotune gizmo or something?

    Belgium shows you don't have to send some one dancing in a sparkling bra to do well.
    Juries will like it too.
