    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH....ad nauseum. :D
    You actually take the eurovision seriously? Come On! WE entered an actual Turkey for fecks sake. Ever since it's inception it's been a showcase for he cheesiest pop known to man, and all voting has always been based on political affiliations rather than the quality of the music.
    So just slag off the songs, enjoy the ridiculous dance routines, and laugh at Terry Wogan and Marty Whelan getting progressively more drunk as the night goes on.

    I don't take it seriously :D which is why I was suprised at myself getting angry about it lol, cos it doesn't really deserve ANY kinda emotion. I have to admit Marty's pretty fucking hilarious... although I too was hammered watching it. Went to the pub for the rugby and me and my housemate continued drinking when we got back to the house :eek: .

    Actually I believe the bloc voting is a perfect example of why we should vote no :eek:

    I just cant understand what the hype is. People there going mad over their nation and their song, they have their flags flying and everything....

    And most of the performances i just sit there and think W T F!

    But i like how wogan makes stupid comments about it.

    I still hold Rock N Roll Kids as one of my favouritest songs ever. :)
    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    Eurovision sucks donkeys testicles, the sort of shite that gives music a bad name.

    Oblivion, Perseverence, Bad Actress, their cover of Wishing Well, great tunes.:)
    Saw them back in 1999, great energy, all though that Tequila song got on me tits a lil bit.

    as always there were many crappy songs. i actually always wonder why it is not possible for countries to find one talented band/singer that they can send to the contest. it amazes me every year. (yeah, i admit it: i usually watch this every year.)

    the voting is always more friend/enemy/political-based, so it isn't really about the songs.
    my favourite song was definitely the one from bosnia-herzegovina:

    and yet strangely it was won by an ugly guy with a crap song :confused: FROM RUSSIA... I thought all those Eastern Europeans HATE Russia

    Oh and our top three were Latvia (as always) 12, Poland (big surprise :rolleyes: ) 10 and UK 8... so really the Irish people gave the UK our top vote. And certainly not cos the song was any good :D
