Can Dustin win Eurovision ?

Was listening to him on Ray Darcy's show this morning.

Anyone think he has a chance of winning ?

RedXIV · 09-05-2008 10:41AM

It'd show how far that competition has come along wouldn't it? I don't think we're gonna do worse than last year but i'd have some shock if we won

whiskeyman · 09-05-2008 10:42AM

Only Smarties have the answer.

meditraitor · 09-05-2008 10:42AM

I wouldnt think he has a chance in hell but the bookies have him 6th favorite at 16-1 so its not unreasonable

When is it?

Joliegood · 09-05-2008 11:18AM

The first semi-final is Tuesday week. The final is the following Saturday.

Well it is a turkey of a song! Gettit??? Turkey!!! Bwahahaa! :pac:

Keano · 09-05-2008 11:28AM

I reckon he might but I believe it is the death of the competion, well Ireland's involvement, if he does.

Defenestrate · 09-05-2008 11:31AM

Yup, given Ireland's previous entries, Dustin's effort is poultry in comparison... Gettit??? Poultry!!! Bwahahaa! :pac:

Not a chance really. Nobody else will 'get it', still, he's better than most of the eurovision muck.

The way the voting has gone anything could happen. Doubtful though. Another obscure Eastern Europe destination.

Harpy · 09-05-2008 02:48PM

no i don' think he can!

TerrorFirmer · 09-05-2008 02:50PM

Not sure, but he'll do far better then the previous few years did at least.

ninebeanrows · 09-05-2008 02:52PM

He wont even get outta the semi!

The Europians will think it's actually an attempt at a song.

N1njapirate · 09-05-2008 02:54PM

well seeing as it's hard enough for the Irish to understand him, I don't know how the other nationalities will... especially get the Irish pub jokes thrown around the place in the song.

Doubtful he'll get through the semi-final, unless there's a lot of people who vote to make a mockery of the competition. It's kinda shameful that Dustin is going performing that song, but the eurovision is a mockery in itself I suppose!

Jumpy · 09-05-2008 02:58PM

I personally dont get the idea of a badly made turkey with a skanger accent. Its not funny at all to me. I dont think any other nation will "get" it either.

Jesus Wept · 09-05-2008 03:47PM

No chance.

I'd say he has aviary chance! Oh ho!

robinph · 09-05-2008 03:54PM

Unlikely to get any votes from the eastern countries as they still take it too seriously, but should get some from the western countries who all realise it's a load of rubbish, well except for France who are upset about their own song being in English this year so are unlikely to vote for anything spoken in that fowl language.

Wasn't it Finland that won a couple of years ago with some daft act in masks?

Retire from boards. Now.

If Dustin wins eurovision as it was is over. Yet I still think he has an outside chance, shockingly.

Seems like others think we are mad...

its a tough call, will easteran europe understand it?

Pal · 09-05-2008 04:09PM

I think he is in for a stuffing

I'd say they will be offended by Ireland so obviously not taking the game seriously.

Cormic · 09-05-2008 04:22PM

I will be watching the show for the first time in years because of his entry. I cannot wait to hear what Terry Wogan has to say.

My thoughts exactly.

Also, the eurovision isn't as it was. It hasn't been right since the Eastern Europeans joined in. Now anybody with fireworks, dancing, drums, and whatever wins.

Ah they will. Sure phrases like "Go on ya good thing!" or "Gerrou o' dat garden!" are very common in Croatia.

09-05-2008 04:39PM

I always thought this version was so much better

Jigsaw · 09-05-2008 04:43PM

Dustin is a b@stard and I hope he loses heavily.
