[ButterTart]

By this beeping wench I'm assuming I've missed nowt.

 

[Dark Carnival]

OMG !

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Sorry, Kala got wind of the fact I'm planning to send a male vocalist for round 2 of ASFM, and I've only just been released from hospital.

We should ALL SEND HARD MALE ROCK

 

[Penelope]

This is quite... forward thinking?

YES! TOO FORWARD-THINKING (AND UNPLEASANT) TO WIN EUROVISION

 

[lolly]

Truly the sound of constipation

 

[Madison]

This bint ain’t no Edyta Gorniak.

 

[Dark Carnival]

This really is a WEIRD song.

'song'

 

[win_the_game]

This really is a WEIRD song.

It's ALTERNATIVE PEASANT FOLK

 

[Madison]

[COB]

Vocally impressive, but other than that no thanks.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

02 Poland

 

[Raining on Me]

Absolutely loved that improv aural nightmare. CAPTIVATING

 

[win_the_game]

[Dark Carnival]

The ORIGINAL SUS

 

[lolly]

04 Poland

 

[Soldi]

“I don’t think that’s going to win “

 

[Suomi]

Poland is an incredible opener and song

10 Poland

 

[Lucille]

Just

 

[Penelope]

"They WANNA WIN IT"? Are you SURE TERRY?!

 

[COB]

Ooh Kinsale, my brother got married there (to a Pole!) - it didn't last

 

[Raining on Me]

2000, when it was first hosted in an arena

I'm glad there is a genuine answer to this. Makes sense.

 

[ButterTart]

Imagine the SHAME of being the one turgid Irish hate crime that DIDN'T win.

 

[dmlaw]

We should ALL SEND HARD MALE ROCK

If we all sent rock hard males, we'd be guaranteed the votes from the Dark Carnival jury.

 

[Penelope]

Imagine the SHAME of being the one turgid Irish hate crime that DIDN'T win.

You leave Dawn Martin alone

 

[AGinAg (37)]

To think Poland went from one of the best ever starts to the sound of scraping.

 

[Kala]

This Irish entry the most BLATANT attempt to ensure that a host country does NOT win Eurovision.

 

[win_the_game]

Is this the year that inspired MY LOVELY HORSE?

 

[dmlaw]

First time that the organisers have rigged the draw to ensure that they DID get the death slot.

 

[Penelope]

This Irish entry the most BLATANT attempt to ensure that a host country does NOT win Eurovision.

I dunno, I think O jardim was more blatant

 

[Soldi]

Oh this is SHIT

 

[COB]

Something quite muppety about that mouth.

 

[ButterTart]

It's nice to know Skeletor had something to fall back on after failing to conquer Castle Greyskull.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Please don't tell me Ireland won with this too!

 

[Penelope]

Eddie's aged well

 

[Soldi]

I dunno, I think O jardim was more blatant

O Jardim was ROBBED, what about the shit Ukrainian host entry the year before?

 

[win_the_game]

I dunno, I think O jardim was more blatant

Another fabulous entry.

 

[ButterTart]

Which year of the 60s are we watching again?

 

[Lucille]

Oh my god, they didn’t even bother writing lyrics.

LA LA LA DREEAAAMIN.

 

[Kala]

This is the kind of thing DANIEL O'DONNELL fans would like. ie My mother.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Something quite muppety about that mouth.

YES!

 

[Suomi]

This Irish song is very relaxing and nice, feel like I’m on a drive in the countryside with Kala
