It's Eurovision week and we're out already! (13)

May 9, 2014 6:43 AM CST It's Eurovision week and we're out already!
Who watched it? Who's a fan? I enjoy it to a certain extent, all the countries coming together and the excitement of the voting. But some of the songs are cringey! We were definitely better than Poland and Slovenia I think!
If block voting wasn't an element, I would put Netherlands, Greece and Norway in top three.

I'm not a fan of Eurovision but I just happened to see the Irish performance while flicking through the channels and it was not good. She seemed to sing poorly and the bad sound quality didn't help. Also why was she wearing a gold dress against a background that was gold for most of the song.

The dancers were also very cliche.


I think Ireland should give up and spend the money on something more worthy.

Her vocal singing was so much lower than on the late late show.she was so out of tune with the backing singing , actually seemed like they were the ones singing the song, twas so bad.think it was a crap try at qualifying all around..Ireland should just get away from all this riverdance hinting stuff and Celtic knotts..twas the same last year and same when Donna and Joe failed to qualify..at the end so happy we didn't qualify as would be really embarrassing propping up the score board again..lipstick was original that's why it worked that time..Tis not about block voting so muchireland

No you weren't. Great song for a Bond movie. Great voice too. Bookies favourite.
My Top 5: Netherlands, Norway, Austria, Greece and San Marino (first time qualifying Marty said!)

I am a big Eurovision Fan, love all the deux poit and the glitzy acts.

With Ireland gone I am going for Poland in the final, great song, cute Polish girls and a busty washerwoman.

What more could a man want.innocent

I think there's still a bit of block voting on the night but not as bad as it was since they brought back the jury.
At least we don't have to worry about winning it and the cost of hosting it! haha!
You're right about getting away from the riverdance stuff, time we moved on from it.
