    Russia isn't as good as I was thinking

    Pop-up safety rail, managed by Eurovision, not managed ny the Empire or the First Order.

    This crap sickens me.

    Song is so 2003 yet he will probably win because of the staging.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,038 ✭✭✭Go Harvey Go


    Oh yeah. This has Eurovision written all over it.

    I especially like that you can hear his accent. Most of the singers who sing in English have that generic American singing voice.

    That could certainly be said for the Dutch lad... :D;)

    Not my favourite song but the staging is impressive. It's the one to beat.

    There'll be flippin' rock climbers all over the place next year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,546 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    And here's Russia, bound to be in the shake up, but the visuals detract / distract from the singer and the song again ! Singer is fit too !

    Well it added to the performance in my opinion.

    If Nicky Byrne had something like that he might be there tonight.

    This is a song I would love to have blaring out of the car. Good summer song.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,061 ✭✭✭keith16


    Surprised at the love for Russia. Very impressive visually for sure but song was average IMO. It won't win.


  • Registered Users Posts: 215 ✭✭Lunger


    Her career not so good after Twilight and that Snow White movie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,054 ✭✭✭✭Professey Chin


    That seems very impractical as a basketball jersey


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,541 ✭✭✭duridian


    Espana got their numeros mixed up. She's the 19th act, not the 3rd.

    That's a deserved winner. Just goes to show that it's not hard to do well in this comp if you take it seriously and treat it with respect, rather than sending has beens.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,009 ✭✭✭✭wnolan1992


    I liked Russia better in the semi. Don't think it stands up as a song in the Final tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,521 ✭✭✭✭mansize


    Yeah I'm bored now


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,499 ✭✭✭✭Caoimhgh1n


    Not too bad in fairness, in comparison to most of the others.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,356 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    Las Ketchup
    Los Del Rio

    That's quite a pedigree Spain has

    Eurovision's gone to hell since they brought in Pop-up safety rails

    Boo! They should be banned.

  • Registered Users Posts: 917 ✭✭✭Mr_Muffin

    Same - my first time hearing the song after reading about the hype and it's instantly forgettable. Hope it doesn't win.

    She has nice hair.

    I like this. Sounds like something you'd hear on the radio at the moment. Very catchy.

    That Spanish song has grown on me

    She is giving it socks

  • Registered Users Posts: 33,754 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    I prefer Spain over Russia since they are not using staging to try and win.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,521 ✭✭✭✭mansize


    Spain with a very generic pop song Little Mix could release this


  • Registered Users Posts: 177 ✭✭Jessme


    That was good!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,553 ✭✭✭soccymonster


    Saw the Spanish entry live in the eurovillage in Stockholm during the week.
    She was absolutely brilliant and her outfit was lovely.
