Getting involved in the culture wars won’t help their prospects
These polls are getting easier. No.
@Madra: Have to agree.
Not good when the soundings out of the camp in recent days has switched to ‘we’re just happy to be here regardless of the result’.
@Madra:
There are no difficulty levels
“Eurovision” would be a great name for an EU optician company. Everyone makes a spectacle of themselves.
I absolutely and sincerely hope not.
An absolute embarrassment to the country.
@Jim Bob: Sounds okay to me. Anyone know why he’s wearing a hood like a disco ball?
After Dustin and Jedward, I’d say no one takes Ireland serious.
@Vincent Walsh: Jedward finished 6th in final! Our best result for a long time.
not a hope in hell, poor song
Where is the ‘don’t care’ option.
@RJ: It’s going to be back for tomorrow’s poll. Two options as answers. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IGNORANCE AND APATHY? A) I DON’T KNOW B) I DON’T CARE
@RJ: you cared enough to comment.
@Terry Fagan: For a comment like that: Null Point
Bring on Dustin.
Where is the “I couldnt give a fiddlers” option on the poll?
They wouldnt win their way out of a paper bag
No .Poor Lyrics also Title is childish.
,,,,they’ll generally have decided on a winner before voting even begins. Now where does Ireland stand?
Doesn’t matter Ukraine will be picked to win again
Had a chance until Dustin was mentioned. What a waste if Rte were the people who decided he should be on stage
Plenty of readers that don’t care., cared enough to read the article and vote!!!
Maybe but they definitely won’t win. For once I’m not rooting for us.
Irelande non points
That gold yoke he’s wearing is horrible. Harry styles wannabe. Not very wild.
Not a chance. They are muck.
I couldn’t vote as there wasn’t an option for “couldn’t care less”.
As long as RTE are running the competition in Ireland we will never win. They consistently send turkeys (Sorry Dustin!) to make sure Ireland won’t win. If we did RTE would have to host the competition the following year! It would near bankrupt the station, who would have to go to the Government for a bailout. Answer is privatise the station!
An opportunity to show Putin “We Are One”
I don’t know. And that isn’t an option!
It’s not the worst song we’ve had in the last 10 years but it’s not far off it. I’d be very surprised if we get through. Sweden will win on Saturday night. But I like the Danish song.
What is with the silver masks, what are they hiding come on!
Is there an option that we dont care????
Vote here you don’t care
Why don’t they send U2
OMG, the Irish fella is packing some serious camel toe!!!
aww Jesus stop entering this
Guys, I hope U2 got some credit on that song.. Where the streets have no name sounds awwwwful familiar. Don’t believe it? Go listen…
