The bookies have slashed the odds on Glasgow now making it a firm favourite.
I have a range of weekends with free cancelleation booked
San Marino are going to have four semi finals!
We have sent worse
Three of our recent entries were women
Irelande nouze pownts exactly as I predicted.
At least they’re in tune!!!!’
Not allowed samples :)
The first Eurovision I watched fully when I was 10 mainly because of the hype of Your A Star. I really don't know where the time has gone!
ChatGPT: (I asked it not to mention Ireland and throw in some deep emotion):
Verse 1:
My heart is beating like a drum,
With every breath I take, you're the one,
You light up my life like the sun,
My love for you will never be undone.
Chorus:
All kinds of everything,
Remind me of the love you bring,
From the stars above to the depths of the sea,
My heart is yours eternally.
Verse 2:
Your smile is like a ray of light,
That guides me through the darkest night,
I'll love you with all my might,
Forever by your side, shining bright.
Verse 3:
Together we'll conquer all,
Through the ups and downs, we'll stand tall,
Our love will never fall,
We'll cherish it forever and all.
--- You'd have to do this like a Beastie Boy's rap or My Lovely Horse.
They would put up a fight if they didn't qualify to be fair...
Whats Another Year!
If you can track down some of the 1980s ones... when there was no qualifiers and a country could send anything in but had to sing in own language ... you dont get that kinda randomness anymore.
Well lets hope France wins and it's in Strasbourg so they can be near the European Court of Human Rights!
Also we don't have a nightclub culture anymore as most have closed, most of the acts in eurovision are now inspired by clubbing culture which we don't have anymore. In the 90s Dublin was full of top nightclubs, also the golden era for irish eurovision. We also had loads of live music venues McGonagles, the Baggot inn etc that are now gone. We can blame the kill joys and compo culture for alot of this
Final would be delayed until following year due to a bitter 46 week appeal which ends up in the Hague with accusations of war crimes been executed on family ..
True - and interesting point - we just go the Pub - get locked or even just stay at home.
State of your man's suit. Song very dated, like a poor U2 impression. Not that it makes much of a difference in such a crap event
IN other news - what the hell was Dustin on it for - that was odd.
Honestly, I think Brooke Scullion was our best entry in years - absolutely baffled that we didn’t at least qualify last year.
I'd agree Ireland's night life is extremely pedestrian compared to most of Europe. The closing times and over-regulation of everything to do with that kind of scene had always kept it fairly basic, but since the pandemic era it's just disappeared entirely. It's really only a pub culture.
I'm not even seeing anything like the number of interesting gigs that used to be here, not all that many years ago either.
It's certainly not helping with the creative side of the music scene.
Roll on Thursday!
I'm roaring
🤣🤣
That's not true. Last years entry was cute and I'm not even a lesbian.
I'm not going to listen to it but yes you are correct in your assessment here.
There's another problem here.
All of the neighbouring countries voted for each other.
- Finland, Denmark swedan
- Croatia, cz Republic, Serbia, etc.
Eurovision is a fix and that's all it is.
I donno, it reminds me of Bridget and Eamon sometimes. It's like that bit of Ireland that's become stuck in about 1986 and never moved on and is still reminicing about Johny Logan and Linda Martin, even though that was 30-40 years ago.
Anytime I ever see anything about Ireland's Eurovision entries it just makes me think of that era of Bosco and Live at 3.
It is true, I voted for Israel tonight and I'm a widely acknowledged anti-semite.
Nice lads good effort - but we need to just go crazy - not Dustin crazy , but look more for performance artist (but not our thing) - or put a trad band in. Modern trad.
I'll leave on this - very deep , profound - up there with Kavanagh or Heaney
We might be different, we might be unique
You might be a leader, I might be a freak
And we might be different
But under the falling sun
Tonight we are Burkes
We are Burkes
When we rise, we rise like the sun
When we go down, we go down, we go down
He should have got through for the camel toe alone.
Not really surprising. We send unknown amateur pub bands with shockingly bad songs to a professional song contest and they get their arse handed to them. That said this year's entry was a new low even for Ireland. So utterly forgettable that in 3 months Wild Youth will be the answer to a difficult table quiz question.
They need to change the song title now, ‘We are null’.
I hope he dry cleans the catsuit before returning it to Marie Serneholt.
