Eurovision Song Contest 2025 - Mod warning in the OP

Yeah I loved the Germany entry as well as the Luxembourg entry. Both did awful in the scoring though!

Totally agree on Germany I love this remix even more than the one performed in the final.

No don't agree with that .

Maybe not in Eurovision ( which let's face it is not the dizzy heights !) but Irish musicians and bands are more world class than one would expect from our country's size and population .

Song for Ireland should garner more than very average singers and songwriters but think Eurovision has lost its cool factor a long time ago for many musicians in Ireland .

I don't think Ireland would win the Eurovision no matter what it does, anyway. The contest has devolved into this camp, metrosexual festival of Europop with political voting trends. Ireland might as well send a genuine cultural expression instead of chasing the latest trend in choreographed, overwrought electronica.

Kneecap !

Think you need to wrestle with the fact that Israel didn't win as you keep repeating yourself regarding what you thought was the best song over and over!!

You can say it a million times as I am sure you will keep repeating it like you have already but Austria deservedly won!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Say what you like about Eurovisions past …. but there seemed to be more fun there and a more innocent feel ….. The last few years have been politically charged ….. with Russia being treated one way and Israel another way …… the quality of the songs has gone down too ….. with many being just acts not songs ….. for what ever reason people have lost interest …..

I remember a few years back Eurovision was everywhere …. everyone talked about the Irish entry ….. in good terms or bad but they talked about it …… and they watched it ….. it was shown in the pubs the hotels the restaurants ….. and people watched …..

Lately people feel it is rigged set up biased against Ireland or in favour of others ….. no one believes Ireland can win it ….. Perhaps after coming too often last or near it or not even qualifying had an impact ….. whether it was Chris Doran crooning If My World Stopped Turning In The Morning or Dustin squaking or Sinead Mulvey singing Etc or Ryan Dolan crooning Only Love Survives ….. none got there ….. only Brian Kennedy, Jedward and Bambi Thug and maybe a couple more were glimmers of hope across a bleak period of no wins spanning near 30 years …..

Most people yesterday did not want Israel in it …… People who watched it said Czech Republic or Australia should have gone in instead ….. others said Ireland and the Party In The Sky should have gone in ….. it was no worse than a lot of the stuff in it and better than some …..

The Eurovision certainly had its moments over the years ….. Dustin was one of them ….. and remember that Icelandic entry where she was performing a song/act where she was after winning it ….. she did not win and then went into a tantrum …… and then there was Lordi in all their glory winning with hard rock ….. and Maneskin later …… but are the glory days of this behind us ??? Is it now just an excuse for sci fi acts and strobe lighting ??? ….. and should countries like Ireland give it a break ??? ….. certainly most people have lost interest in it …… and I can well understand why ….. if Israel won it I'd say it would turn off most ….. their song was nothing special either so cannot really understand why it did so well with some ….. there were stronger more memorable songs that should have beaten it …..

I have heard it all now!!

If that makes you feel better that your beloved best song was lucky it finished second,that it helps you sleep better at night then cool!!

It finished second because it wasn't good enough to finish first and luck had absolutely nothing to do with it!!

Dunno. They played Germany, France, Holland and Belgium last month anyway. I've no idea of the venue sizes though.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Graham hangs up the Eurovision mic soon.

Rylan and Scott Mills do a good enough job with the semi-finals - get them to cover Saturday night (with Richie Anderson and Sara Cox providing the GF commentary on radio).

They have no right to expand their state like they are currently doing in several directions,also they have no right to enter someone else's territory in order to " defend themselves"

I'm about as far left as Ronald Reagans corpse and I view Israel as a regional menace which is fast becoming a global one

No genuine Irish person who cares for his or her country is pro Israel, Israel is up to it's neck in the international people smuggling industry and all of the NGOs are backed by Israeli proxies

Wow. More of it.
