Only a matter of time until Sweden take our record off us entirely. We can't have any complaints though, we keep sending total crap. It goes further than Eurovision though, Irish music in general has been mostly absolute crap for the last 15 years.

I liked Norways entry. Only narrowly missed out to Sweden on the audience vote but was a mile behind in the jury vote. Finland won the audience vote. I think the audience vote is the way to go.

Finland song was completely sh1te. How did it get so many audience votes. Thought UK song was good gor once and it got a small vote. Sweden deserved winners for me.

Sweden knew what they were doing this time. 
Get a known name and performer who has won the thing before.
Give them a decent song that could easily be in the charts (which was pretty similar to the song she won with before Euphoria).
Put on a huge marketing campaign before the thing starts and make it a hot favourite.
I'm also sure eurovision enthusiast's (I.e. the jury's) were also well aware that next year will be exactly 50 years since ABBA's famous win in the UK and wouldnt it actually be a nice thing that the Eurovision was in Sweden that year to mark the occasion?

Many fans bought into it (though it wasn't the most popular in fans voting).
But of course, the jury's completely bought into the package and the romance of it all and Sweden won that by a landslide.

Not taking away from the performance, it was undoubtedly top 3 anyway.

Ireland need to go all out next year now after Sweden tied level....that's what they should do, but we'll probably do it through the Late Late show and end up sending Crystal Swing or the likes. 
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
