    Why does Marty always have to say that Ireland's performance was terrific, if he doesn't get through he'll say we were robbed.

    Cause he has his lucky jocks on him?

    Say whaaaa, the Rock meets a Kylie impersonator.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,869 ✭✭✭PeterTheNinth


    The production is absolutely shocking.. All vocals are buried behind the tracks and production effects/screens. The tracks are too prominent and the vocals are put right to the back of the mix. And NO interaction with the crowd. Honestly you might as well just play the video on the big screen.

    There's a few backing singers

    Gotta keep getting that RTE paycheck somehow.

    Why do so many songs on this remind you of some other song that you just can't place?

    San Marino, a country with 43 inhabitants, showing us how it's done


  • Registered Users Posts: 610 ✭✭✭Cutie 3.14


    Nothing can top Swedens show last year, it was just brilliant from start to finish


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,516 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    This is a bit like Gemini...not a good thing.

    This is like karaoke down the Dog & Duck at Auntie Mary's 60th birthday party.

    She looks like Sharon Horgan


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,886 ✭✭✭Barnaboy


    Honestly think that was the worst effort from Ireland ever, and I am including Dustin the turkey. That was shocking.


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


    This is actually great ahaha. It is so bad it's good. :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,922 ✭✭✭snowflaker


    Spirit of the night? Don't mind if I do?

    Song 10? Jameson time!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,356 ✭✭✭Right2Write


    This is awful sh*te.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,516 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    They dug that song up from 2003.

    How many frickin key changes?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,134 ✭✭✭Mena Mitty


    Just heard the Irish song on the radio. I thought it sounded way better than the performance on TV last week. It's a thumbs up from me.

    San Marino suddenly turned into the Initial D soundtrack.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,695 ✭✭✭gizmo81


    Not particularly, he gave a very weak performance.

    In fairness though he's a kid and probably had no input down to his sock choice.
    Still don't think we'll qualify but can't fault Brendan Murray at all. He did the best he could with the song he was given. He does have a fantastic voice, albeit one that would not be to everyone's taste. He deserved a better song. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,205 ✭✭✭✭hmmm


    Oh god make it stop San Marino

    Hungary was a surprise - 150 to 1, worth an each way I think. Lots of neighbours.

    I thought Brendan did well and the song is as good as anything else I've heard tonight. Fingers crossed for him :)

    Time to give Uncle Louis the boot.

    San Marino's fcukwittery is what they'll remember from the last 6 minutes hopefully for Brendan.
