Wasn't the Young Eurovision thing in Irish this year?

Last year and this year, thanks to TG4.

It'll probably be a while before RTE sends another song as Gaeilge, though...

Might be no harm letting TG4 look after our act for the actual Eurovision for a year or two.

No, I'm not joking. After all, they couldn't make a bigger bags of it than RTE have.

Petra to host every year

Vote early

Have to say, this is probably the best-hosted Eurovision I've ever seen. Mans and Petra have done a brilliant job. Nice to know that the Swedes have a great sense of humour.

Tell them Welcome to Eurovision and they are behind in the drinking game. Finish.

I have been watching ESC for years, when i was about 6 I used to be playing football in the street and I used to have to beg my parents to call me in to watch ESC on the TV... we didnt even have a TV - but anyway I think this is the Best ESC ever!!

Has Russia got a similar sense of humour?

Always find it really difficult to make predictions on the night of the grand final.. but I'll give it a go:

1. Russia
2. Australia
3. Ukraine
4. France
5. Armenia

Italy, Bulgaria, Sweden, Latvia & Spain to take position 6-10, although I'm not going to try and speculate in what order. My own personal top three would probably be Bulgaria, France and Russia in 1st, 2nd and 3rd respectively, but that's blatantly not going to happen. All I really want from tonight is for Bulgaris and France not to disgrace themselves. Here's to hoping!

Makes up for the songs

Rossi IRL

Could ye imagine we won some year, the state of the job we would do hosting compared to this.

Petra sounding very like Frau Farbissine from Austin Powers during the countdown there...

Just let TG4 do it.

Lunger

Uh, classically, we put this at the start lads.

BlondeMoment

This has been a brilliant Eurovision!

Jessme

Did Petra or Mans speak any Swedish yet? I missed the start. It'd be nice if they did.

Busi_Girl08

I didn't realise they were on hoverboards and I instantly thought of the Gentlemen from Buffy.

Considering RTE would be managing the production, it would be bleak.

Interval act was brilliant.

Marty always behaves like he's explaining this to 94-year-old nuns with hearing problems.

In all the years I watched Eurovision 84-14 & 16 this was the best presented - JT excepted

A few years ago they had this, Swedish Smörgåsbord, which was brilliant. Great hosts

Yep what was the song called? Oh yeh SOMESH!TE

duridian

We could end up in a situation where people end up just voting for Sweden because we all want them to host the show again every year.

Mr.Nice Guy

If Sweden were to send Mans again with a halfway decent song they'd likely win.

You're an Award Winning Radio Presenter, could you not go into RTE and sort them out?
