Neither of them knew anyone. I saw the Irish song sung before the competition and I thought the singer had a very poor voice. So I'm not surprised the song didn't do well.

Scratch that you're too stupid for the Dail. Eurovision is about glitz, glamour and novelty. It is about fun; it is NOT about sitting in a circle of dreadlocked twats in Goa boasting about how you got your beads for a rupee less than the other guy. Orlaith you should be in the Dail.

We need either a camp as fuck disco song or a big big ballad. By the way I hear RTE are considering pulling out of the competition. This is the only time we get to benchmark them at all (though we know they are shit) and they are taking the opportunity away from us. It is a sin that the Albanian did not get through the semis.

I think that is the opposite of what the Eurovision should aspire to be. I actually find it quite depressing to see acts from Sweden, Finland or elsewhere abandoning their native language to sing in English. I'm a huge fan of world music and every country in Europe has a rich store of popular musicians and songwriting talent to draw from in their respective language.

If all the ladies look like that then I'm upgrading Georgia to one of my top places to move to if FF get an overall majority. Sarah, I thought the Georgia entry was great.
