    Funny when you hear Irish people who know nothing about Eurovision say Jedward were an embarrassment, and there you have them in a segment with Eurovision legends Verka, Loreen and Conchita. They definitely made their mark.
    Exactly, they are a novelty act but very decent bubble gum pop, but put on a show.

    Iceland
    Portugal
    Bulgaria
    Finland
    Switzerland
    Denmark
    Austria
    San Marino
    Estonia
    Serbia

    Outside chance for Greece
    I actually think Greece will make it pretty comfortably, it's catchy I can still humm it.
    Estonia I don't see it

    These Eurovison winners have aged well.

    That Niamh Kavanagh song is still a banger

    Cannot see the attraction with Switzerland's song!

    They are getting great use out of that small house.

    I think to the casual viewer that sort of makes sense though, they don't really understand that the Eurovision is a bit of a different animal.

    Duncan looked so much better with the longer hair :(

    Nothing special about Estonia but ticks a lot of boxes and have a lot of neighbours :P

    I really hope it's Paul Harrington talking about Rock n Roll kids on Saturday, probably going to be Linda though :(

    His voice is unreal the song is lovely, the staging and his styling I think might cost them

    When you think of it, there is really only two acts that made it to global superstar status in 65 years!

    Jedward qualified twice, the good eggs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 250 ✭✭maude6868


    Ruslana was a great winner too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,831 ✭✭✭archfi


    Soldi should have won in 2019!!

    Nothing really stood out for me tonight. The first semi was much stronger. I think Ukraine and Lithuania will be hard beat

    I'd be very surprised if Ukraine and Lithuania are top 5

    They need to bring back Lena for the past winners.
