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 .

With juries only we won it like 5 years in a row and came second when Norway won with an Irish violinist solo that got the rules changed

This is what happens when the world has an obesity and opioid epidemic.

****ing hell that was desperate

I kinda like it, sorry.

Anyway, the same kind of song rarely wins two years in a row. Last year was all earnestness and this year, eh, isn't

freshpopcorn

Not surprised with the winner!

Franz Von Peppercorn

No time for Israel in politics.

But. This is a good Eurovision song. It’s crap but most of them are.

The disappointing thing is that it was a vintage year, with plenty of good songs, as illustrated by the well-spread vote of the juries. And then average Joe went and voted for that tosspottage. Some consolation in how well the Italians did, but that's about it.

Itssoeasy

That was a crap song. I mean in the list of songs that have won in recent years it's a crap song. I mean were people that tone deaf ? Woeful stuff. I like the fact that the judges vote helps shake things up. I mean any number of songs tonight had better songs in terms of overall vocal talent.

Disappointed for our final position

I know some people hate the winner, but to me, she's perfectly what Eurovision is. Happy enough.

Nightmare for the organisers next year though

Yup, it's a Eurovision song through and through.

First time I've called it, I think! :eek:

I think Israel will win - that song was pure Eurovision.

Have you ever been there? It is a very diverse country. Visited Tel Aviv ten years ago and it was the most openly gay city I have ever visited. They were accepting diversity well before Ireland was.

Isn't there some kind of rule for blatantly sampling other songs, bastardised seven nation army.

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:

Well Ireland's performance was very contrived to milk a certain vote, a lot more than anything she may have said.

I'm watching the 1981 Eurovision. Haven't had a lot of interest in the whole thing since 2012. Great songs back then and a great show. Gonna watch on Saturday night. If Israel win, I'll burn the house down.

no one could be shocked surely, it was 1/1000 to qualify


it's hard to know if if it will go close or completely bomb
I'm thinking it might finish outside the top three but I could be miles out there
still dont get the cyprus odds, this for me is the worst favourite in many a year

at 6/1 there's worse bets than israel when it was less than 2s up till a few days ago

I kept backing estonia but israel just saved me
got a sweat with germany

Similar to what's being played in night clubs everywhere now and on Radio stations everyday.Total ****e.

Lyrics of TOY
English (Original)
Look at me, I'm a beautiful creature
I don’t care about your modern-time preachers
Welcome boys, too much noise, I will teach you
Pam pam pa hoo, Turram pam pa hoo

Hey, I think you forgot how to play
My teddy bear's running away
The Barbie got something to say: Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! My "Simon says" leave me alone
I'm taking my Pikachu home
You're stupid just like your smart phone

Wonder woman, don't you ever forget
You're divine and he's about to regret
His baka-bakum, bak-bak bakumbai…

I’m not your toy
You stupid boy
I'll take you down
I'll make you watch me
Dancing with my dolls
On the MadaBaka Beat
Not your toy!

A-A-A-Ani Lo buba!
Don't you go and play with me boy!
A-A-A-Ani Lo buba!
Don't you go and play… Shake!
Kulului, Kulului, Ah, wedding bells ringing
Kulului, Kulului, Ah, money man bling-bling
I don't care about your 'stefa', baby
Pam pam pa hoo, Turram pam pa hoo

Wonder woman, don't you ever forget
You're divine and he's about to regret
His baka-bakum…bak-bak bakumbai…

I’m not your toy
You stupid boy
I'll take you down
I'll make you watch me
Dancing with my dolls
On the MadaBaka Beat
Not your toy

U think anyone who's spending money voting on this could even find Israel on a map, nevermind have a clue of the history of the 70 year old 'country'

As long as it wasn't Sweden who won I didn't care to be honest.

Balmed Out

Not the worst song and think shes a great performer, prefer the Irish, Albanian and Estonian songs personally.

Did they give the breakdown of the Irish vote?

Mr.Nice Guy

Biggest scandal involving Israel this year. Well, aside from the whole killing civilians thing.

Ol' Donie

I should have sung a song that wasn't shiiiiite

I'll forever wonder whyyy.

Amazingly, our song was actually better than the nonsense that won.
