    I'm at a loss.

    This made no sense in about a million ways.

    Why did they have 3 countries on screen when it was between two of them?

    Why did they hand out the big chunks of votes last? Why not do that first and then do the smaller votes to build it up?

    Why did they give the prize to the absolute worst song in the world? We shoukd send f*ckin June Rodgers next time.

    Jesus that was the worst. The absolute worst.

    She might get a banger walking to the stage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,516 ✭✭✭Outkast_IRE


    I think the jury votes were fair enough the public votes ruined the thing as far as I'm concerned . Lacks complete transparency and you have songs the juries virtually ignored propelled to decent spots.

    Terrible song won it , utter tripe .

    Next year Eurovision in Israel.

    Security will be good there, no stage invasions for sure.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,606 ✭✭✭Damien360


    Shame. Some ok songs this year just missed out. Next year comes more comedy acts because of this ****e


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 667 ✭✭✭lola85


    Worst thing you could do here is try figure out what happened or why! We’ll be back same time next year having the same conversation!

    Security disaster next year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,409 ✭✭✭✭Sardonicat


    Seen it all. The Chicken Song won. The jury vote is utterly pointless.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,089 ✭✭✭Happy4all


    Bookies will be thrilled with all the mug punters who backed Ireland.

    she's even more annoying when she speaks - didnt think that was possible.

    The BDS are going to have their moment in the spotlight next year.

    Well, I don't get it at all. I never thought Israel were gonna win from the get go... but here we are.

    Can someone explain this televote?
    how many times have I posted anti-climax ?

    the jury is 50% so it's the school yard tradition of "next goal wins"

    Israel were clear winners once the jury was handing out 200+ votes as they couldn't be caught unless those on the right hand side were going to get 400+ votes


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,593 ✭✭✭Wheeliebin30


    Just when you thought the world hated Israel.

    Don’t be fooled.

    I am DISGUSTED with this charade and it's not about her being fat either, it was just AWFUL.

    BBC showed that UK gave us 10

    Jesus that was the worst. The absolute worst.

    Austria was the third country and was still in contention at the time.

    Public votes all added together and given out last.
    If done the other way around the result would have been the same.

    I personally think it's more exciting end unpredictable this way.

    Finally, it's only the Eurovision, no need to get so upset.

    She whinged about her weight and struggles with it and body shaming in every interview I saw. Which are terrible things but I got the impression it was being milked which is far worse :mad:

    I prefer this Chicken Song...




  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,813 ✭✭✭Noveight


    It's just a laugh at this stage, innit?

    Being fat isn't being diverse, it's just slovenly

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Have they a big enough stadium to host it or will they have to demolish more Palestinian homes?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭Nabber


    I guess this is Europeans voting against Islam :)


    Or maybe not. Song is pretty **** all the same.

    #MeToo spokesperson !! CHECK

    I heard some of her song ... "Don't use me as a toy...."


    You're all right there love, don't worry ...


    Told yez.


    Misandric lyrics.


    #MeToo advocate ....


    "Im a beautiful creature" in her lyrics when she is a fat disgusting pile of sh1t pig



    "Don't use me as a toy" - Don't f*cking worry there love, I'd rather stick my bellend in the toaster.




    This has all the hallmarks of "progressive" politics.


    Black is white.


    Water is dry.
