Oh give it some welly, Cathy ffs. As understated as her Eurovision performance.

Is anyone else’s tv sound sound just slightly off sync with the picture?

"Whatever happened to all those little girls and boys".

Somebody in production is now just after reading the lyrics of the song for the first time and is currently having a heart attack.

Thought the exact same thing, very subdued, but maybe that’s her style

Where's Shane MacGowan when you need him, send the Pope Mobile for him.

Get well soon Shane.

Mine is fine. According to a study released during the week,as an Irish woman you have probably had a bottle of wine already by this hour so I would put it down to that.

anthonyjmaher

Like your Auntie singing karaoke under duress.

Nathan Carter is a scourge.

Nah, she's just very understated. This was Eurovision a decade ago.

I'd not stand up that height for €20k in cold hard cash.

taytobreath

Wow, some voice

anthonyjmaher

As a production it is very impressive all the same.

Thought SnB was poor on her commentary this morning- lots of uhs and ahs, UoH was much better at that sort of thing

She was brutal. Seemed totally unprepared and out of her depth.

She has a great voice. Looked to be miming on our tv.. Wasn't trying very hard to keep in sync.. Rest sound good so far.

George White

This reminds me of the Trump inauguration, i.e. a lot of ****e country and cabaret acts.
I didn't even know the Priests and Celtic Tenors were still a thing.
