    Just like Eurovision, dont think this thread is being taken to seriously.

    We gave England 4.
    It's the UK, not England. (Englebert is actually half Indian.) But I do wonder whether the UK might get better results if they could field four groups instead of one (England, Scotland, Wales, NI).

    Government resting upon the will and universal suffrage of the people has no anchorage except in the people's intelligence.

    This Swedish song reminds me of when Celine Dion went all dancey and hip on us - a great time for all who were there

    Jeward got more than they deserved. They were awful. But then again, so were most songs.

    Well done Sweden, it's likely I'll have forgotten your song by tomorrow.

    overall a crock of shiit - should have stuck with planet of the apes movie which i was really enjoying

    She looked a state
    Sure she did.

    Gas the way Marty was in a huff over Jedward getting so few votes - as if it was a deliberate strategy rather than them simply being sh1t. Amazing the blindness the fact they're Irish causes. Any other country he'd have thought they were dreadful!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,277 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Ah well won 12 euro on Serbia :) even though i spent 20 overall. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 770 ✭✭✭sgb

    He could not give out about them on the TV, he has to act like he supports them.

    What ever happened this about being a SONG contest - which meant the songwriter won. We still count Johnny Logan (God help us) as a three-time winner, one of which was as songwriter?

    To be honest its not so much about the lyrics but it is, if its a good song and good tune to go with it. If its sang well and stands out some bit it do well. Then again politics can home into voting aspect of it but what makes a good eurovisiony song will win though unique songs and positive ones with a nice beat and act then will likely win.

    Go Sweden!:cool: Delighted they won though better than some other acts!

    Yeah its a European wide conspiracy that nobody votes for Ireland when probably more than half the people in their own country hates em with a passion.

    Did England give Ireland any points?
    I only saw the last half hour of the show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,499 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    19th isn't too bad considering what we sent, knowing this country and the way we celebrate failure theres probably an open top bus parade for the fcukers being organised.

    Someone should really look into his payments from RTE as solicitation.
