First Semi-final on tonight.  Ireland not on until Thursday and the song is absolutely awful. ------------- YBIG Quiz Champion 2016, 2017 & 2018. As You Were Three in a row |

| I actually think the song will do well, its a change from the last few years of sad sacks with a guitar. If she has a bit of charisma on stage I think we'll go through to Saturdays finals |

It's 1/20 not to qualify and 8/1 to qualify. I'm not a fan of it but good luck to her. Hope she does well. ------------- YBIG Quiz Champion 2016, 2017 & 2018. As You Were Three in a row |

| The song is second in the semi running order, traditionally not the best place for wanting to qualify. The song is a grower, radically different to all the balladeer crap we've sent over the past 5-10 years, and a breadth of fresh air compared to the politically driven cowsht we sent to Lisbon 12 months ago. |

Heard Linda Martin interviewed last week, she’s not a fan of our song this year.....she said we should stick to ballads  50% of the vote is already cast for the semi-final.... each countries panel voted in the last day or so, the other 50% (public vote) is cast tomorrow. A few strongly tipped songs (Poland & Portugal) failed to make it out of their semi last night. |

Actually thought Finland's song the other night was very good but it didn't get through. Had Darude of Sandstorm fame and all. San Marino getting through was a joke. Your man can't even sing, I think I could do just as well as he did. Second Semi tonight. The standard looks to be better tonight judging by the odds. I heard Netherlands and Switzerland last night and both seem to be very strong. I don't give Ireland much of a chance. I thin we'd have had a better chance on Tuesday as the standard was very low. ------------- YBIG Quiz Champion 2016, 2017 & 2018. As You Were Three in a row |

It appeared to be about the number 22! I meant it gave off a 'Eurosong' vibe in that it was intentionally bad. Actually maybe 'bad' is the wrong word, as 'bad' songs have done well before. It seemed to be intentionally dull as dishwater to avoid any chance of it even threatening to do well.

I don't think there is anywhere called South Macedonia, funnily enough. You have North Macedonia, formally the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, who had to change their name to keep Athens happy. That's because in Greece you have the regions of West Macedonia, Central Macedonia and East Macedonia (and Thrace). ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

I only ever watch the voting as the songs are too painful. Madonna is a few sanwiches short of a picnic. Marty is a gobsh*te. I was hoping the nordie Macedonians would win...she seemed like a sound person. Why would anyone pay attention to what Greece want?  |

They did qualify. We know them as "Greece". Holland have won it for the 5th time. They didn't win it in 1979, but still hosted it in 1980 when Johnny Logan won. They usually dont qualify from the semis, so it's a shock that they won this year. You would have expected Sweden to win it, as the jury winner usually scores one of the highest televotes. SVT rarely sends crap to Eurovision. Over the past 10 years, Germany, Norway, Austria, Denmark and Portugal of the "Western" nations have won it. Sweden have won it twice, and almost equalled our record this year. How do RTE explain that?
