    Then

    i remember as a kid eurovision night was like new years eve. You couldnt miss it at all! my older sisters(18+) would stay in with the family and watch it, my parents would plug out the phone and door locked and not answered if someone knocked.

    Pubs used to have eurovision nights and when we won there would be partys goin on in the estate an hour after the results

    Now

    No one cares- when anyone says "Are you watching the eurovision" its met with laughter and being called "Sad". Seems the "micky joe hart"s and "donna and josephs" of the country have made us laughing stocks and the days of "The Voice" and "Rock and roll kids" are gone

    So do you give a crap anymore? or are we just too far down to crawl back

    No.

    Too many trannys and nobody except Azerbaijan wants to win.

    Once every two days.
    More frequent if I've been on the bran flakes.

    Ah I like it...To me, the final would be the same as an international match. Not an important international match, just an international match.

    Used to care, Don't now. Sending a fake turkey was enough to convince me that it's worthless now.

    Dont care but it's nice to see them get through!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 42,474 ✭✭✭✭Scorpion Sting


    I don't have the same enthusiasm for it but I still hope we do well in it and will be watching on Saturday.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,241 ✭✭✭Lurching


    Couldn't give a flying sh1te about it.

    A big campfest with painful performances.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,611 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Anymore?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 354 ✭✭snazzy


    Did, didn't for the last few years, beginning to again.

    Maybe with an actual solid song with Niamh Kavanagh and the new semi-final and voting rules, there could be a bit of enthusiasm with it again.
    Used to be such great craic.


    Glad Ireland got through tonight.

    We should permanently withdraw from the Eurovision, it's an insult to our intelligence. Our little country has a great heritage of quality singers, musicians and songwriters. So we shouldn't prop up this $hite by participating in it and lending it credence.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 118 ✭✭r0qi4162fux9kg


    Should it not be called the Eastern Eurovision nowadays?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,277 ✭✭✭evolutionqy7


    it should be banned in general...most countries entering it have great songs out there...but once it comes to euro vision they all try to show of their heritage or something and sing crap songs...its also corrupted and faked voting system...screw that

    Ever since Terry Wogan stopped, it wasn't worth it any more. His satire was the one thing that we always watched for.

    NTM

    Load of bollocks. Bollocks with a French accent is still bollocks, no matter how you try to dicky it up.

    I'd give the Georgia bint a good feed of helmet, so I would.

    Dazzling set of choppers on her, go on the Georgia

    No. Its like a show for a retirement community.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 724 ✭✭✭cock robin


    Niamh Kavnagh looked like shite. Has no one in the Irish contingent got a hair brush.

    A brush don't cure a permanent condition.

    it's the stuff nightmares are made of.

    Every year since 1997 or 1998 was unwatchable, those rumours that Ireland purposely lost because of the cost of hosting, I think, disillusioned many people & then they grew up & realised how completely sh*te the whole thing is...

    Hi All....I used to...then didnt...but now do again.....and believe it or not the Eurovison has made a huge comeback with teens the last few years....all my friends teenage kids are all massively into it......ask around...maybe its just down our end of the country but I was shocked when I heard.....
    My smallies are into it aswell...so its great that Niamh through cause its a nice bit of family entertainment.....bring me back to my own youth and the exitment at the voting part....

    Delighted for Niamh last night - she deserved it. Also thought the standard was quiet decent last night over all....it was much better then Tuesday nights entries. Lots of cheese too but thats all part of it. And last years winner was a great song I thought.....so thats my 2 cent. Looking forward to tomorrow night.....
