Holy God,
Is anyone else watching this drivel. Rest easy RTE, we won't be hosting the Eurovision next year.

What are you talking about? It's great. Everyone loves the high-pitched tuneless squeeling of a dying pig! How can we possibly lose?

I was thinking more sheep with a sinus infection myself.

AdMMM · 17-02-2007 01:01AM

At least it sounds "Irish".

numacd · 17-02-2007 01:05AM

:eek: OMG!!!! I'm totally mortified.I've never been so embarrassed.:o

LoGiE · 17-02-2007 01:09AM

When will they learn... What we need to do now a days, is to get some semi naked female Irish dancers jigging somewhere near the light of speed to a European techno remix of Riverdance. What I saw tonight before I switched off (Roughly 1 minute after tuning in) was some pig in a glittery dress singing an 'oirish' ballad incredibly out of tune.

Mikosyko · 17-02-2007 02:23AM

I enjoyed it!

J.R.HARTLEY · 17-02-2007 02:38AM

well from the sound of that i'm glad the aerial was gone again for the 4th time this week, well done NTL.

mobby · 17-02-2007 02:58AM

Yep.... I see a big "Irland Nuls point" this year. Still think My lovely Horse was one of our best songs to date:D

monkeyfudge · 17-02-2007 03:09AM

I think the best of the 4 songs did win.... but that's sort of like being grateful for getting a punch in the face instead of a kick in the balls as all the songs were utter sh*te. And who had the idea that a woman who sounds like Mary Harney would make a good singer?

Where they not all completely embarrassed when Eimear Quinn performed 'The Voice'? That's a great song and deserved it's Eurovision win. Do they not realise how crap all those songs were compared to it?

bizmark · 17-02-2007 03:33AM

Was shocking alright your one singing was just awful why go if they arent even going to try and win

DublinWriter · 17-02-2007 09:12AM

Holy Chrisht.

I was popping in and out of consciousness last night and I could have sworn I saw John Waters win. Please tell me I was tripping, please.

Anyways, RTE decide to play the 'My Lovely Horse' card yet again. I didn't think they could get lower than last years shamtastic travesty, but they did.

Never overestimate RTE, I say.

Jello · 17-02-2007 11:07AM

So did the fourth song win?

Nightwish · 17-02-2007 12:11PM

I haven't heard it yet, is there any youtube links?

Basq · 17-02-2007 12:22PM

Here's the winner:

Other three are the top of the results here!

mike65 · 17-02-2007 12:25PM

That vid link ain't working for me (prolly Operas fault)

Sh<i>t, thats awful! Dervish are not whirling.

Mike.

Basq · 17-02-2007 12:34PM

Nah.. YouTube just seems to be very slow loading this morning.

I've had it loading with nothing else running / downloading and it's only about half way through after 10 minutes.

sioda · 17-02-2007 12:44PM

The whole thing was a joke the band were crap and the songs were worse. Plus who nominated songs from people not living in ireland.

Nightwish · 17-02-2007 12:47PM

Thanks for the link - christ thats AWFUL! Reminds me of Peig Sayers wailing.

We should just try what the english did last year... I mean even my old pair thought last night was rubbish and they like that kind of music!

Yep. It was his song that won... It was still the best of a terrible bunch though, plus I don't think any of the other song writers were even Irish. I think one of the writers for the third song was originally from Limerick, but the two of them looked like absolute pompous pricks.

Why, you weren't singing in it were you?

Just have to agree with what has been said already - pure rubbish. No fear of Ireland winning this competition anytime soon.

Maybe Ted was right when he said "Anyone would think you wanted Ireland to loose"

blackiebest · 17-02-2007 01:49PM

Hard to know. They are top of their game in trad circles, and those who just say trad is ****e dont really deserve a comment, like saying all brits are bastards! Stupid and ignorent. But the songs, and a trad band chosen to preform non trad songs.... I hope it works and at least raises the profile and income of Dervish.:o

MisterAnarchy · 17-02-2007 01:58PM

Its not that bad.
Its hardly the bands fault,they only play the music and they are very skillful .
Song is very average,workmanlike,needs a big rewrite if it is to do any bit respectably in May.
Somebody on Board should write next years entry.

I tried many years ago. The song was called "The Search for Love" It was a ballad of pure cheese.

Very unusual it didn't win then, seeing as the some of the cheddar cheese crap that is rolled out every year

Dennis the Stone · 17-02-2007 02:09PM

a friend and I came up with an emotional ballad: can I suck your dirty c**t by our band Tears of Love but they weren't interested

Hagar · 17-02-2007 02:14PM

My speakers won't play the sound in the clip.
They're not broken, they just refuse to play it.

Mikosyko · 17-02-2007 02:56PM

I think the winning song is nice. It may not win but its still a lovely ballad.:)

Cork · 17-02-2007 06:14PM

The John Waters song was a big improvement to the effort last year.

The song was not half bad.

It might do well - I still believe we lost a golden opportunuty when the Cork Twins were voted off Your A Star a number of years back.

But the song could could do well - plastic pop eurovision ballads cancel out each other.

alleepally · 17-02-2007 09:49PM

I think it's a great song myself and I love her voice. Hope it does well and I'm going to be checking out Dervish's music now.
