Other than hell freezing, what would happen if Australia won and Ireland came second?

Nicky Byrne will be helped a lot that he is on the night of a thousand power ballads. His song, while not exceptional, was like a breath of fresh air, amongst all this faux-emotional sh1te.

You're so right. All of the others blur into one but his was thankfully different to them all.

Ghost Train

Think Australia will be going on to final, strong song

hmmm

2 quid each way on australia I think

tayto lover

Australia best so far by a mile.

Welsh Megaman

Fair dinkum

Andy From Sligo

NB has such a raspy voice he sounds like he has smoked his body weight in fags! ...

dogcat

Nicky will be last.

krustydoyle

Now this is excellent.. Great voice and fancy production

Winner winner

wil

Strongest song of the night goes to Australia..

Apparently she's an xfactor winner.

mansize

Ok this was great!

Busi_Girl08

She sounds amazing, but what is it with god awful backing singers in Eurovision?

If Byrne wins does that mean he will be too busy and will no longer do the radio show?

Win win for us all in that situation.

He's gone from 50/1 to 18/1 to win the Semi Final on Paddy Power.

SalthillHead

I thought australia was a once off ! and if they win where will it be held???

BlondeMoment

Very decent Oz!

twirlagig

So if the Australians ever win this thing will it be on in OZ the following year ?

Nawwww mate. The Ozzies can choose whatever city in Europe they want to host it if they win. That was the rule last year anyway.

Didn't you know he used to be in Westlife.

Jed 1 or Jed 2?

Actually preferred Waterfall to Lipstick as a song myself.

JuanJose

You hear Nicky Byrne & then you hear Australia or Israel. People, if we don't at least send strong vocals our goose is cooked IMO.

Busi_Girl08

Slovenian Taylor Swift.

ProudDUB

That is what we need. A half decent song and some young wan in a fancy dress that could power Bellmullet all on its own.

Andy From Sligo

australia song was pants! - #boring.com

Jamie OD

Wouldn't be shocked if Australia wins the entire thing. Strongest performance of the night so far.

tayto lover

Nice dress.

PeterTheEighth

The daughter of Claire Danes and Lisa Kudrow.

Lunger

Bottom half of the dress is horrific but, yeah. How's the mirror working out, Welsh Megaman?

Tandey

Love her revealing dress , oh yes!!

Welsh Megaman

Damn toilet roll just rolled under the couch

Salvation Tambourine

Every song seems to have a massive electronic bit at some stage, gets a bit tiresome.

krustydoyle

My girlfriend has this dress.. She'll be delighted with herself now it's on the tele..

Xenji

Our entry was like an Irish summer, bright in spots and dull and miserable for the rest, Nicky voice was poor and could not match the energetic feel good theme of the song, just all too one dimensional.

Busi_Girl08

Slovenia through.

Oh. Oh. She lost the camera for a second.

Ghost Train

Nice dress

Not a bad song compared to some of the earlier songs

Iwasfrozen

Australia was best of the night.

juneg

She couldnt afford the front of her dress! If she sneezes she'll burst out of it

Lunger

Getting a bit Dolores O' Riordan now.
