    Those dancers might very well see us through. The song was pretty meh - though not the worst we've sent in recent years.

    Ha! Just seen Israel!

    100 % are going to win this! I stand by that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,545 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    People judging Irish chances based on Irish standards but in most of Europe they love middle of the road ballads and I think it has a good chance of going through.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,586 ✭✭✭✭An tUasal C


    I voted for For Estonia and Israel. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,806 ✭✭✭CFlat


    You have to hear some of them twice, to really appreciate how bad they are :)

    My predictions for the qualifying nations:

    Israel
    Cyprus
    Czech Republic
    Estonia
    Bulgaria
    Greece
    Austria
    Finland
    Azerbaijan
    Belgium


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,641 ✭✭✭Mollyb60


    Loved the Irish staging and song. Cyprus was a bit full on but yeah, it'll probably get through. Put a vote in for Ireland and Lithuania.

    Estonia stands out a mile for me on the recap. 10 to 1 to win the SF versus 11 to 1 to win the final? I know what I'm on :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,164 ✭✭✭✭Rjd2


    Cyprus is not as good as I was led to believe

    Yeah a mediocre Shakira I thought. She is stunning, but not sure how relevant that is when so many good looking performers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,130 ✭✭✭Surreptitious


    Austria is my favourite. I love soulful music like that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,322 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    Cyprus wasn't perfect but it will be stuck in your head... And jesus she rips it up

    I think Azerbaijan a bit undone by being first on.

    My faves
    Bulgaria
    Israel
    Cyprus
    Finland (better tonight than I heard before)
    Azerbaijan (not sure they make it)
    Czech rep
    Estonia
    Austria

    Ireland I don't see them making it

    It was a good semi.... Thurs will not be.... Trust me

    Jesus Macedonia sucked live


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,806 ✭✭✭CFlat


    Love that Austrian song.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 266 ✭✭taylor3


    Cypress entry sounds like Rita Ora 'let's get lonely together '. Think Irelands entry is too boring.

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,495 ✭✭✭KatW4


    She wasn't a great singer but she'll get a lot of votes.

    Ireland (obviously)
    Czech Republic
    Estonia
    Austria
    Finland


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,200 ✭✭✭superfurry1


    Irish song is probably the worst shockingly bad
    well maybe better than Belarus


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,984 ✭✭✭ebbsy


    I don't fancy our chances.

    I'm going to say we have little chance.
