Ireland Brendan Murray "Dying to Try"

I give you Meh/10.

When do we just say "Fuck it" and send U2?

I think Ireland will do well, But they will probably not qualify in my opinion. They will perform in the second semi-final, and that's the real deal, with Serbia, Romania, Denmark, and Bulgaria, 4 very powerfull songs. I think it will finish 16th in the semi

[Frank Zipper]

Russian invasion timed to coincide with the Ukrainian entry.

[Stalgard]

its no longer about music (if it ever was), it is about pushing politics

i bet that trans-black homotransvestite bipolisexual dragonkn from germany will win
or ukraine because they want to show that russia is BAAAD

It's fairly generic Eurovision fare. Anything especially good or novel or sung by half-naked women will beat it.

Russian invasion timed to coincide with the Ukrainian entry.

Only if Ukraine look like winning again.

[Frestovenia]

I think Italy and Portugal (Currently 1 and 2 by the bookies) are very overrated.

[Frestovenia]

My Predictions:

1. Bulgaria 'BEST'
2. Sweden 'It's great'
3. Denmark 'What a voice'
4. Italy 'It's just funny, but i hope it will not win'
5. Belgium 'Mwaah... Young girl with a lot emotion, Good voice, but the song will make me cry..'
6. Australia 'It's good, good enough to be in the top 10'
7. Greece 'I think this can do well, Staging is amezing'
8. Serbia 'Same as Greece'
9. The Netherlands 'It's my home country so i support it!, 3 beautiful girls, and 3 beautiful voices, I hope it will win, But Eurovision will not give them the change i think'
10. Portugal 'It's boring, But it's good when you want to try to sleep'

[Olerand]

France has an OK entry this year, which is still such a recent phenomenon that I haven't yet had time to accustom myself to. She doesn't seem like a contender though, which is alright, Eurovision is expensive to host so whatever.

I wasn't aware that Portugal had released their entry, and that it was ranked so well. It sounds like a Disney song, so I guess it's OK.
I'm surprised by Armenia's high score... But the song is good I guess.

I really don't like Italy's entry. I understand that it is supposed to be so cool for some reason, but I just don't get it.

In conclusion, I would be satisfied if literally anyone, anyone other than Sweden wins. Sweden's entry sounds like the working man's Justin Timberlake, and frankly they've won far too often.

Ireland Brendan Murray "Dying to Try"

I give you Meh/10.

You said that 10 years ago too.

Holland will win because you can't beat a song sung by three cute sisters, written by their dad for their terminally ill mother.

[Dooom35796821595]

Russia hacks the server and wins by a landslide.

[Cetacea]

What the hell is Australia doing in Eurovision? it's 12,000 frikken miles away from Europe, literally on the other side of the world!!!


I hope Putin hacks the results

Apparently they watch it and they like it. So they were invited once, and just... Stayed.

You may have to look at this: Australia in the Eurovision Song Contest

[Pencil Sharpeners 2]

I can't really make any predictions, because my musical taste doesn't seem to really coincide with the rest of Europe's (and that's before you account for the political voting). Personally my favourites are Georgia, France, Cyprus, and Moldova, which inevitably means that all four of them will do terribly.

typical Ozzies, don't know when it's polite to leave the party

amusing though, I watched a documentary a couple of months ago, that claimed that it was Australian drag queens who made ABBA famous AND orchestrated the revival, so I can imagine those same Australians liking Eurovision

[Ifreann]

As true today as it was then.

Damn, Netherlands 12 points.

[Audioslavia]

Undoubtedly true.

or ukraine because they want to show that russia is BAAAD

Undoubtedly trolling. *** Warning for trolling ***

[Angleter]

I don't listen to the entries before the contest because I think that'd ruin the show for me. All I know is that even if Britain weren't, you know, Britain, our song still wouldn't win. It's not bad, but it's not good either.

[Cetacea]

Is it strange that 32 of the 37 entries are in English, how is that a showcase for European Culture and National Pride?

Should the old language rule be reinstated and Eurovision contestants be required to sing in a language of their nation? or do we just accept that English is the Lingua Franca of Europe?

is Eurovision just an international X-Factor Talent Quest for singers to breakthrough into the 'world market'?

I'd like to bring back that rule, but it did basically lead to Ireland winning virtually every year. Perhaps if entries were required to be at least partially in a national language?

[Frestovenia]

There are actually 42 Entries in the Eurovision Song Contest this year , Well it was 43, but Russia was banned from the contest.

I support any rule change that leads to Ireland winning things.

The Belgian alternating between French and Flemish at least meant France wasn't wholly alone in singing in French every year.

But I insist that this rule can only be brought back if Malta is forced to enter with its constitutional national language rather than its second national language; Eurovision clearly needs more singing in Maltese.

I'd also like to ban Australia - which only goes to show how much weight my opinion carries with the organisers.
