The Eurovision or whatever it's called.

Apparently it's on tonight. Heard a bit of a couple of songs and exactly what you'd think they'd be.

RTE having anything to do with it is a recipe for failure.

The Eurovision final is on Sat May 15th.

Tonight is the Late Late Show's Eurovision episode where they the artists perform their songs and the song that gets selected represents Ireland in the semi finals.

It's a mix of public and jury vote.

Waste of money as usual. After that mad one last year you can imagine what they'll pick this time around.

Finished 6th last year, Ireland's highest finish in 24 years. Bambie Thug represented Ireland really well.

Is it too soon to start on Israel?

RTE pick the contestants for the jury and public to vote for.

the RTE chap said today that it is the Israeli broadcasting corporation and not Israel that is in the competition - so all those times Ireland thought it had won it was actually RTE were the winners. Hmmm

It's been called Eurovision since it's inception in 1955, why are you acting like it's had multiple name changes.

Eurosong. Song for Europe. Are just two I've commonly heard.

Morris Garren · 07-02-2025 09:25PM

Can they just shut up and sing? I've had great nights watching Eurovision for decades, but the level of hubristic arm-waving and flag fetishing lately has really put me off the whole thing. Get Samantha Mumba to sing in her underwear - she has a fine voice- and we might have a chance of winning again.

TheBigEvil · 07-02-2025 09:48PM

F*ck me, so shes not playing the fiddle, and her dancing is rubbish… it's a no for me.

Ash.J.Williams · 07-02-2025 09:48PM

Shite

Mo Ghile Mear · 07-02-2025 09:49PM

Adgy.. nice song and he has a nice voice but I don’t think it’s strong and memorable enough.

There was an Irish woman who won it for one of the Scandanavian countries playing the violin I think back in the day

TheBigEvil · 07-02-2025 09:58PM

second singer is just lip-syncing… as Al Pacino would say… "What type of show are you putting on here !"

Maybe back in the day, but they haven't for 20ish years so not relevant.

Act #3...

'NEXT!'

TheBigEvil · 07-02-2025 10:07PM

It's slim pickings so far… you have to ask how these acts are getting through. Either its a lack on entries or who ever is picking them through is not putting much effort in
