[Bingoman]

What's happen Ireland when it comes to Eurovision they use to be the big beasts winning in the 90s to now not qualify

 

[PR1Berske]

Irish TV could well withdraw at this point.

It's down to phone votes now.
Also there were fewer countries involved.

[Orang Utan]

Ah, ok. Will wait til Saturday as novelty is key to my enjoyment of it!

 

[Epona]

Ah, ok. Will wait til Saturday as novelty is key to my enjoyment of it!

8pm Saturday is what you want then, I've set an alarm cos we missed the start of tonight's semi and were watching it a bit behind everyone else!
Some of the fun for me is posting here about it while it's on Plus snack food and our own scoring at home

 

[Epona]

Having said that there are a few programmes on before 8pm on BBC1 on Saturday about Eurovision, in case you are interested in best of from over the years type nonsense

 

[Chz]

Was surprised to see that the acts I'd normally worry about making it out of the semis got through! Nothing interesting was lost.
And Hannah was spectacular.

There seems to be no shortage of cheesy Eurobangers with ludicrous camp outfits this year, judging by this article:

Unicorns, smoothies and Edgar Allan Poe: 14 songs to listen out for at Eurovision 2023

With folk-horror priestesses and punk dictators riding lawnmowers, this year’s competition has the usual oddities amid proponents of perfect pop

www.theguardian.com

More please! And less of the dull earnest torch songs that plague Eurovision this year.
Camp and silly and ridiculous should be the order of the day.

I'm pleased to see a bit of Edgar Allan Poe on show. A great inspiration to one of the Pool's best bands since the fab 4.

 

[hash tag]

Surprised, given their Eurovision history, to see Ireland go.

 

[belboid]

Surprised, given their Eurovision history, to see Ireland go.

Eight semi final losses from the last ten attempts.

I pulled them in the work draw yesterday.

 

[Aladdin]

Surprised, given their Eurovision history, to see Ireland go.

Not surprised at all.
Small population vote

 

[belboid]

Not surprised at all.
Small population vote
