Nope, he's too much of an in-joke.

RTE are obviously playing the 'My Lovely Horse' card.

I, for one, will be hoping that Paddy Power will be giving good odds on Ireland getting nil points.

He's better than the UK entry anyway.

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

Im putting 20 on so. Even 30.

Id reckon he has a great chance. Really! Its so hilariously nuts, Im deffo putting money on it.

I'm so determined to make it win that I'm cloning myself 200,000 times and we're all flying to Paris so we can vote for him.
In hindsight, I should have done the cloning when I got to France, but nonetheless, now I'm supporting Dustin and the poor ailing airlines.

In fairness to the UK, I watched their show to choose the song and all the entries were a load of crap. They had to choose someone! Binman X-Factor guy was the best of a bad lot.

I have a friend in France who is getting all her French friends to vote for Dustin.

I think if a weird song is going to win it's probably going to be Spain. It's slightly more relatable than Dustin's song!

Phantasm · 10-05-2008 01:04AM

That song annoys the cock off me. I hope he fails.

dvega · 10-05-2008 01:11AM

I think its a farce,but considering last years winner AND the year before i think we did dead right by entering a muppet for our contestant this year,its the way the competition is gone,i think the way its going its gona wither out..

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.

what are ya on about the French not voting for us? sure it's the only entry with French in it isn't it? :pac:

Irelande douze points...

kerry4sam · 10-05-2008 01:14AM

I haven't seen or heard the other acts yet but he/it has a good a chance as the other contestants

Did anyone see the "contestants" last year? Dustin is really no different to any of them so hell ya! I think Dustin might just win it. People will vote for him even if it's for comic value

Suprised people aren't "getting" this song!

The song is woeful.. but it's the exact sorta stuff the Eurovision fans will eat up. It has so many characteristics that will appeal to Europeans such as a unique non-traditional act (Lordi anyone? It's a fecking turkey puppet), mentioning numerous countries (pretty much all of them) and capital cities (always a winner!), and the song is called 'IRELAND DOUZE POINTS!'

The song has a chance of cleaning up.. people need to stop rating the terrible song and look at how many attributes appeal to the Eurovision watchers (and voters).

Mad_Max · 10-05-2008 01:31AM

Reckon it might be stopped so to speak at the semis. I can't imagine whoever organises it are happy about it.

Personally i think its great

There was an entry a few years ago with an old granny on a rocking chair that was ****e beyond belief so Dustin is no worse. Noone takes it seriously so why should we.

re:he/it ... 'it' refers to the muppet and 'he' refers to the person doing the voice/singing

but cheers dvega

MooseJam · 13-05-2008 10:11PM

Doubt he'll win it but I'd say hell get a good few votes

jaykay74 · 13-05-2008 10:13PM

Lets hope he gets to the final as would pull in the viewers. I think people might actually watch a bit of it this year for the 1st time in years. (not the music obviously)

I always thought this version was so much better

Definitely.

He's singing in a more coherent voice in the new version, and the background msuic is lower in the mix, presumabley so more can hear the jokes, but it takes from the song.

FunkZ · 13-05-2008 10:41PM

If he doesn't win it I hope he challanges and puts some pressure on the acts at the top.

marcsignal · 14-05-2008 12:53AM

I'll put 50Euro Down with any poster, that Dustin wins a landslide...

I'm dead serious :cool:

wandatowell · 14-05-2008 02:17AM

Slightly off topic but does anybody remember the time I think it was Ray Darcy asked Dustin to farm animal noises???

Darcy: What noise does a cow make?
Dustin: Mooooooo

Darcy: What noise does a sheep make?
Dustin: Bhaaaaaaa

Darcy: What noise does a pig make?
Dustin: Get out of the car or I'll arrest ya

What a beauty:D

Joliegood · 14-05-2008 09:36AM

Very funny press conference.

He may well go on and win it.

Would be hilarious next year if Ireland were to host it and Podge and Rodge are the MC's

lostexpectation · 14-05-2008 03:49PM

all the irish journalist laughing their heads, off, hard to hear unfortunatly

andy from the uk a novelty act, close to the bone nice.

Can Dustin win Eurovision ?
