I didn't see the original performance of this. Was he good singer when he sang it in the show, because he sounds like shít now

The song is very slickly presented in all fairness.

Unlike the show itself.

Mr.Nice Guy

Ah let the Swedes have their moment.

I still think Ireland are the big winners today.

Why? The song wasn't bad in fairness.

Call me cynical but I can't take a song about how loving and accepting Russia is seriously given its terrible track record with gay rights. I'm not taking the piss when I say I'd be concerned for the safety of gay Eurovision fans going over there if Russia won.

That's no reflection on Polina or your average Russian person but as much about building bridges as the eurovision is, sometimes you have to take a political stand against a country.

(Not to get started on Ukraine, Crimea, flight MH17, etc).

Hope Petra is back hosting in Sweden next year. Very disappointed with Austria this year, the whole show was a mess.

No, because RTE would have changed the format by then.

Come back in August for the Rose of Tralee. That's when this place REALLY kicks it into high gear.

When Graham Norton was thanking people, I am sure he mentioned Keith Mills.

Russia was robbed. The Swedish song was as generic as you can get.

Apparently it wasn't even their song...

Mr.Nice Guy

Bonsoir everyone.

And let's enjoy it while we still can...Ireland: seven time winners. No one has won it more times than us.

We won big today regardless

I'd say they'd be some partying in Dublin tonight

This thread moves fast. Hard to read all the comments and also concentrate on the cleavage on tv. Till next year...

I wonder will we hear it on the radio here at all. Very commercial and radio-friendly. Probably not though. Radio stations seem to have a problem playing Eurovision songs.

Not that Im complaining but the cloth shortage in Europe is becoming noticeable.

daily boards update on this thread

If I'm right in thinking, the last act to get nul points in the final before tonight was Jemini... :eek: :eek:

And 1997 was the last time two countries got nul points in the final - Portugal and Norway the unlucky ones on that occasion.

The last time the winning song wasn't in English was in 2007:

...and the last time before that was Dana International in 1998. :eek:

BOSCO and Vincent Browne as a duet for next years Eurovision- whatchathink?

DebDynamite

Anyone remember one year after the main Eurovision show, BBC3 had a kind of after-party? Can't remember who presented it, but it was fooking hilarious. They were talking to performers and other celebrities...they were pissed!

Would love more of that now!

Mysteriouschic

I'm happy Sweden won I knew they win thats I never voted for them.
I love the song Sweden are great at producing dance tracks!
Glad Australia were 5th place amazing for them!
It was best Ireland wasn't in it tonight avoiding getting no votes.

Welsh Megaman

Time for a Duran Duran documentary on BBC Four :O

Fun as always!

Au revoir

Which actually would have been very possible given what happened to Germany and Austria... :eek: :eek:

I haven't once heard Ireland's song on the radio, even though they all keep banging on about how unfair it was that she didn't get through, none of the DJs then played the song. If we don't support the song ourselves, can we really expect anyone else to?

Anyway, it doesn't really matter anyway, as it's just a silly popularity contest. Not like it's all politics or anything...

I have to say I think every song and performance this year was instantly forgettable. I wont be humming any of these in the shower tomorrow.

Those two songs were one of the best shocked how it didn't receive any.
Ella Eyre from the UK wrote the German song.

Swedish song is basically "This is the rhythm of the night" by corona...

you're dead right

complete rip off that would put Father Ted to shame

Well done folks. Cracking thread....couldn't keep up during the voting! Austrian presention almost worthy of nul points.....marathon event. Time that the Big 5 threw themselves into the semi-finals & took their chances there. Preferential treatment they get in auto qualification is doing them no favours whatsoever.

Long story short? Congrats Sweden. We seriously need to get our arses in gear. Are RTE listening though?

Mysteriouschic

Sweden is this song exactly start to finish just new lyrics more toned down version.
Still a brilliant song! Many of the great dance djs are swedish .

dcmm

Loved the Italian song, and the singers were soo easy on the eye as well as on the ear.Cant wait to hear them singing again,hope they'll be touring and doing tv shows. They can sing anything.:)
