    Ah dammit! No planning on who not to vote for next year!

    I guess that's what happens when you send a god awful song sung by a god awful pair to compete. You get slapped about and told to go home. I'm delighted.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    Norway got through!

    ROCK ON!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Hate to say "I told you so"...
    Not right laughing about it, but that song sucked hugely.
    On the other hand I'm glad after listening to all the f***ing BS from the daytime radio shows...at least now I only have to listen to the track for a few weeks when the saddos out there go out and buy it out of patriotic sympathy...

    that was a load of ****e, the song wasnt half as bad as some of the muck that got through. i doubt we will ever do well again considering this block voting ****e.

    no surprises really.
    The Irish entry was no where near whats required to be big in Eurovision.
    I can see a whole question mark being put on RTEs hopeless efforts in getting Eurovision entries over the past couple of years. Some people are going to take this way too seriously.
    I honestly feel a bit sorry for the two kids - many people built them up so high, and now their hopes are dashed... and they are almost a laughing stock.
    I know Greece is favourite, but Moldova was cool! A granny beating a drum... now thats originality!!
    What did we have? A small Riverdance stint in the middle?!?! FFS!!! That's sooooooo 10 years ago!!!!
    Nul point!

    I gather the impression that we don't WANT to win the Eurovision.

    Which is a perfectly natural thing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 385 ✭✭John Player


    marty whelan is such a ****ing gob****e - rte really needs some fresh blood


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 350 ✭✭Ray777


    Out of the songs I saw, I have to say that the Irish one was far from the worst and was undoubtedly better than some of the shit that got through. Unless they get rid of this semi-final crap, Ireland will never qualify again. And would that be such a bad thing?

    Failing to qualify for the Eurovision is embarrassing... It's nowhere near as embarrassing as winning the thing though :cool:

    finally i can switch on my radio again :) oh what happened to songs like rock and roll kids?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    Death to you're a star!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    If this whole sorry debacle rids our screens of the horrible "You're a star" for once and for all, then I think we oew those two a debt of gratitude.

    Still think the ukraine song is class :o

    If you ask me.. thats the one really scary thing... Linda Martin was RIGHT!

    I want to see her on national TV tomorrow demanding a full written apology for anyone that doubted her. Retractions in newspapers, skywriting, billboards... In fact, I think I'll make a "Linda Martin was right" banner and put it in the back of my car!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 191 ✭✭Poz3D


    Geez, where did all these flamers suddenly come from? I think Donna & Joe were a great act. Sure their song mightn't be everyone's favourite, but you think you'd be slightly patriotic for your own country in a European song contest. The amount of mocking that you're doing is unbelieveable!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    Patriotic? Eurovision?

    lol

    Speaking of Linda Martin, did anyone see her on the front of the RTE Guide with her legs spread apart a-la Britney Spears at her sluttiest best. Didn't suit Linda though, she should keep her legs together imho.

    imo it was a dreadfull song, if patriotism is what is being called for than we simply should not have entered and save ourselves the embarrasment of not being able to put forward a talented act-imho :(

    Where did you get that from? Did you not hear any of their performances before? They're not bad singers at all. They're quite good :)

    Leave Marty alone! Marty's cool, well maybe not cool but...leave him alone.

    Poor kids. They just didn't have any stage presence and the song was crap. There were also a few eastern european countries that got through who were worse!! And once again, ISRAEL?? Hello, it ain't in Europe!! And I don't care if their in it coz it's something to do with their broadcasting associaton or something? What's the story with that?

    There was AT LEAST 10 or 11 acts tonight where the singers sang out of key during the beginning of their songs. In fairness to Donna and Joe, I think they were as good as any other act there tonight and it's a shame they didn't get further. I would also question the telephone voting system. How on earth could all the votes from around Europe be collated and tallied and put into envelopes on stage in 10 minutes?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,240 ✭✭✭✭Sangre


    Jesus, could they have picked two uglier pikies to represent us?

    Eh... one would think that the tallying of the votes is done electronically. Thus it should only take seconds. How long does it then take to put a few cards into some envelopes?
