I watched some of the semi final today and im really quite shocked we dint get in. They let a man with a beard in a dress get in and we who had a good song didn't get in? Seems when Ireland takes it seriously we don't get far.

Well done RTE and Louis Walsh.

Stay classy

Eurovision is a bit of a joke nowadays anyway...it's all about countries voting for their neighbours.

We had a great run for a while, but I wouldn't be too pushed about competing any more, tbh.

Sadly, I missed it. I say sadly, I mean I changed channels the minute it came on. Beverly Hills Pawn was starting.

kneemos · 09-05-2014 12:20AM

Song was dull and lacked any pep.

Muise... · 09-05-2014 12:21AM

G'wan Austria!

Supergurrier · 09-05-2014 12:22AM

Next year just send over topless green bearded women with leprechan hats and my lovely horse in the background.

As good a chance as any.

This is the first year I actually watched it.A lot of the songs were quite good,more so the first night though.

And when we don't take it seriously we get criticised for it. Remember Dustin? Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

No great surprise the Irish song failed to qualify.We didnt take it seriously,some may have but we sent a very average song with an average singer to the competition. It was poorly produced on the night and was riddled with amatureish mistakes and that ultimately cost Ireland. The Austrian singer while gimmicky had a superior song and delivered on the night check with PP its one of the front runners to win the competition

Did you see poland a lot of cleavage shots hell would even make me vote for it ours as u said was bit average but still was better than some of the ones who qualified.

Fair play to little Megan from Wicklow for kicking this off. Excellent wedding dancing from some Euro-quarters, bravo!

Norwegian song was genuinley decent, Irish song was just any other typical euro pop song.

dpofloinn · 09-05-2014 12:32AM

Its not always about the song sometimes the theatrics and the show count for more which I know is counter intuitive because its a song contest but Ireland failed on both counts. While Polands song may not be to everyones taste no one can deny they put on a 'show'

I could have done as well as the auld lad in the high viz jacket

The hosts were very kind to her, but she was the very definition of a deer in the headlights before the music started, bless her. Great focus and grit.

AulBiddy · 09-05-2014 12:37AM

I don't believe our song could have got through anyway, the standard was very high this year and some very talented acts have got through such as the "lady with the beard". I know some of Eurovision is quite politically influenced but there really was a lot more better acts than ours. However well done Kasey for representing Ireland

jos28 · 09-05-2014 12:41AM

Jaysis, Derek Mooney will be gutted !

Kermit.de.frog · 09-05-2014 12:42AM

"Well done?"

They failed. They should be punished not lauded.

That's the problem with this country.

Eurovision punishment... hmmm

Would that be 40 lashes with tinsel and being put in velvet stocks and laughed at by every homosexual in Europe?

B.A._Baracus · 09-05-2014 12:48AM

That dude with the beard in the dress is just weird. Really, really weird.

For those that didn't see. Here you go:

Not at all Ted. Their passports though could be removed for example to stop them coming back.

:cool:
