I'm someone who believes the voting blocs largely decided that, although having said that many of the songs were like this years entry, bland.

To win Eurovision your entry has to stand out, not blend in.

We probably would have more hope if we sent a transgender person of east European extraction with a half decent song. That would tick at least a couple boxes.

Was pantywhatistsface busy??

The song is more like darkness than sunlight. In any case why is Nicky Byrne getting promoted right, left & centre anyway?

Now that I would watch.

Ah feck.

I though the recession was over but it turns out we still can't afford to win Eurovision

I don't care about the Eurovision, I really don't care about who sings the song, It's just about the dresses and the lady beards these days anyway..

Seems to be on his way to becoming the new RTE golden boy alright, the new Ryan Tubridy.

FF connections definitely seem to help in RTE.

It's an inoffensive number that might get out of the semis but will go nowhere on the big night.

I heard that Panti will be doing the Irish vote announcement.

The song title rhymes with my 1st thoughts listening to it. Sunlight/ loadash!te.

When we sent a turkey puppet to the Eurovision, we insulted them all, and ensured that we will never win it again. The puppet was a disgraceful thing to do. It was a two fingers to the contest, and it was very insulting. Give an honest effort or don't bother. That puppet was not an honest effort. We're wasting our time entering from now on

We should do a Lordy and send some heavy metal outfit or ask Les Claypool to represent us

It's not the type of song I'd generally listen to but for Eurovision it's grand, the lyrics are cringey but the tune is quite catchy. And let's be honest, we've sent worse*! Nicky Byrne actually seems like a sound enough fella, definitely less of a knob than Brian McFadden or Kian Egan, so I wish him well.

*Not 2015; I genuinely think Molly Sterling's entry last year was criminally underrated, and the best we've sent since Eimear Quinn's "The Voice"

I'm really surprised they didn't go all out and send Daniel ODonnell.

One way ticket.

Because sending someone via public auditions worked out so well.....

Yes, Did You ever hear of the National song contest? It was responsible for the first 5 of our 7 wins.

I think we should send the Rubberbandits.
