    I'm really looking forward to this. It was a great idea.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,952 ✭✭✭Irish Aris


    This is so exciting!!!

    I'll start the discussion with one of my favourite Eurovision moments ever - and not just because it's from my country!! The best song we ever sent to the competition.

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,952 ✭✭✭Irish Aris



    I have mixed feelings about this one. I didn't like the song that much, but I thought the stage presentation was very good!

    All the Greek songs making me sad. I was meant to be going to Crete on Monday :(:(

    When you gave the full answer to Amelie in the movie poster quiz I got it in my head you were French, this is very confusing for me :pac:

    Actually come to think of it, I really liked Greece's songs in 2019 and 2018 though sadly neither was done particularly well live.

    Aww that sucks, sorry to hear that. :( But hopefully it will make it even sweeter when you do finally get to go!

    Never been to Greece myself, it's on the bucket list!

    hahahaha, no!!!
    I am always conscious about the original title of the film because the translations that the Greek film distributors attempt in Greek leave a lot to be desired.
    Having said that, the translation for Amelie in Greek was also simply Amelie!! :D

    I will. I’ve been to Zakynthos before which I love. I was tied to travelling on a Monday which is why I chose Crete this time. When I’m able to, I’ll be doing a tour of mainland and a bit of island hopping. Greece definitely my go to destination.

    I went and checked. It was Norway's entry from last year. Should've won.



  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 51,129 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Yeah that's the one, it was really good!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,566 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    This year was gonna be Iceland's year to win. The song is just peak Eurovision. I would've been up dancing along with this had it actually gone ahead.



    I DARE you not to click your fingers along with them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,952 ✭✭✭Irish Aris


    lovely synthpop this Iceland song, it would definitely be in the top-5.

    In "Rather Be Breathing", the notes between the lines in the chorus really sound like another song but I can't get it, anyone know?


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Not long now...

    While we're waiting, just to get everyone in the mood, it's Riverdance!
