The 'Official AH Eurovision Song Contest Thread' Part Une.

Mint Sauce

Its the show we all love to hate, deny watching, and pretend to know nothing about. So to all you still in your Eurovision closet, and out of it, it all starts tonight with the first of the Semi Finals featuring our boy Ryan Dolan, at the Malmö Arena in Sweden, with the second semi final on Thursday night. Both on RTE2 and BBC3, with the final on RTE2 and BBC1 on Saturday.

And for all of you still denying knowledge or like for it, this won last year. Yes I forgot it was a Eurovision Winner as well.

Oh, and here's Ryans and Team Irelands entry for this year.

And keeping with Eurovision Tradition, heres the whole post in French (may not be totally accurate)

C'est le spectacle que nous aimons tous à la haine, de refuser à regarder, et faire semblant de ne rien savoir. Donc, pour tout vous encore dans votre garde-robe de l'Eurovision, et hors de lui, tout commence ce soir avec la première des demi-finales comportant notre garçon Ryan Dolan, à la Malmö Arena en Suède, avec la deuxième demi-finale, jeudi soir. Tant sur RTE2 et BBC3, avec la finale RTE2 et BBC1 le samedi.

Et pour vous tous, niant toujours les connaissances ou comme pour elle, ce remporté l'an dernier. Oui j'ai oublié qu'il était un gagnant de l'Eurovision ainsi.

Oh, et voici Ryans et Team entrée Irelands pour cette année.

Probably trawling through EV achives in readiness for starting a thread or for this one.

Chalutage probablement par EV achives en préparation pour le démarrage d'un fil ou pour celui-ci.

Last year's winner is not bad for a Eurovision entry.

I have to say, the fun of the eurovision wore off when they started with this two day jiggery-pokery, text voting, run-offs, and leaving out votes 1 through to 10:mad:

They just completely wrecked it.

At the risk of sounding like a UKIP voter, we need less Europa and more of old Europe.

Bring back Anne Dunne and the jury system too. I'm all for a totalitarian eurovision song contest.

I really like the song that won last year

At least we didn't go with Jedward for a 3rd time in a row.

I only watch it on the night so it's all a surprise. Though I've heard people say it's all boring ballads this year so I'll probably going to be disappointed. I want more stuff like Moldova's entry last year or Ukraine's in 2007 with the sparkly woman thing and the two very enthusiastic dancers.

Israel is in Europe?

I never really understood why Israel were there at all, seeing as it's in the Middle East.

Britain are taking it seriously lately. Engelbert Humperdinck last year, and Blue the year before.

Grande-Bretagne prennent au sérieux ces derniers temps. Engelbert Humperdinck l'année dernière, et Blue de l'année précédente.

He's no Terry Wogan, although Graham Norton is giving it a good go.

Am thinking should I also be doing the translations in Swedish considering they are the host country.

Il n'est pas Terry Wogan, même si Graham Norton donne un bon coup.

Pense dois-je aussi être en train de faire les traductions en considérant Suédois ils sont le pays d'accueil.

Isreal have hosted the thing before and won it at least once that I can remember. Israel isn't in Europe but entry isn't just based on being a European nation, it's based on being in the European broadcasting zone since they're the ones who run the event. I think there are a few other countries around the Middle East that might be eligible for entry too. It's not supposed to be a political thing, if anything it's supposed to be the opposite.

Marty is good but Terry Wogan is an absolute legend imo. I miss him, don't watch Graham but might this year to see what he is like.

Humps song was terrible and I wasn't surprised how bad it finished but Bonnie Tyler's song this year is gusty and should do reasonably well .Just listened to the Danish entry and can see now why it's fav .

So who's representing ireland this year?
Gay twins? A drugged up junkie turkey?
Bono?

A number of North African Nations according to Wiki can also entry, I assume for the same reasons.

Un certain nombre de nations d'Afrique du Nord selon Wiki peut également entrée, je suppose, pour les mêmes raisons.

I'll soon stop with the piss take translating/dual language, promise.

Je vais bientôt arrêter avec la promesse pisse prendre traduction /double langage.

The chorus of the Irish entry really reminds me of "we are alive" by Paul van dyke.

Pfff... Ce n'est pas Part Une, on dit "premiere partie". Veuillez me copier 10 fois le verbe "apprendre"au present de l'indicatif.

The Daily Fail or The S*n will probably try and print something totally innocent and blow it all out of proportion before the end of the week.
