Won't be beat. Best chance in 30 years.
Marty's breaking out the Baileys early he says.
Didnt see that coming.
It's a good tune well song. Time for a ballad. Ireland always done well with ballads - not too rock not too pop. In fact I think they should enter next year with "The ballad of Johnny Logan"lovely tune.
Hooorah

Thought it was a shite song and was poorly sang. What was the two lads dancing around for? to win the gay vote from other countries? if so it worked.
Oddschecker gives Ireland's odds as ranging from 50/1 out to 300/1...
Before big jack took the country down Stuttgart way
And long Before the gpa cried about pay for play
After the pope came to Ireland and boy did we pray
There was one Johnny Logan a man of his day
With Haughey in charge and the country in disarray
There was no Brexit plans and no Theresa may
There was no prospect of a Taoiseach enlightened and gay
Yet there was one Jonny Logan a man of his day.
My sister reckoned it would be a travesty if he didn't get through. Fair play to him.

Only heard it for first time last night, not my bag but I thought a reasonable ballad and the lad is able to sing. I think it shows that the trick is you send a decent song rather than gurning about regional voting. It is the best we have sent in a long time. Admittedly choosing gay dancers to tell the story is a tad cynical but it's not the worst thing in the world.
My kids are big into Eurovision and having some skin the game adds to the excitement for Saturday. Irlande douze points!
/Jim.
Not my type of music and I thought the pitch was a bit too high but best of luck to the lad. Don't think it has much of a chance of winning. My daughters are big into Eurovision and it's a bit of a novelty for them to have Ireland in the final. God be with the days when we used to win it every other year!
What's all this "we can't vote for ourselves" bollocks?? Should RTE not be encouraging Northerners to vote for Ireland?? ;) Both my girls did! Oh yeah, and f**k the UK out of it after Brexit!
Was Dick Byrne shafted again?
We were in Lisbon at the weekend and visited the Eurovision Village, great craic - live music on the stage, beers and sangria in the sun, and a few sponsor stands to visit (including one with two Teslas that you could sit in). Police absolutely everywhere.
Ireland have gone from no hopers in the betting to one of the favourites after the Chinese broadcasters didn't show the Irish performance because of the gay dancers. Eurovision have barred the Chinese channel from showing the event.
That gay dance routine was an absolute stroke of genius.

Aye the stage invader has boosted the brits chances and pushed everyone else down the pecking order
We'll get top 10.
Cyprus should have it, but I'm not sure that sort of booty shaking appeals to the average Eurovision voter.
Certianly appealed to me though.
First three votes, null point hat trick.
RTE accountants can breath a sigh of relief.

No famine systematic starvation. Almost half of Britains 130 regiments 69 in total were stationed in Ireland and stole our food at gun point.

She blew it. The aim was to build tension before the penultimate vote was announced. She said Cyprus were leading before announcing the actual vote. :'(
Major congrats to Israel who achieved this key international victory without the need to murder any children. A first.
Best song was from the UK!
Eurovision has had some decent winners in recent years despite the whining every year about block voting.
But the sh1te that won this year! Sh1te!

Wouldn't disagree with that, but the song that won it was along the same lines as Dustins effort some years ago.

It was just another sachrine ballad. It is total biased to say it was in any way remarkably better than the best.

No point trying better to send a joke entry seems to work every few years. Feel a bit sorry for the likes of Austria, Germany and Cyprus who made the effort and then some complete mess vomits up some random noises and wins. For the record Dustins tune was quite catchy.
Some of the songs this year were quite good with the German entrant being excellent in my opinion. The winner though was very poor which says it all about Eurovision really
I found that the majority of songs sounded exactly like somebody else. Germany = Ed Sheeran for example.
I though the Czech song was relatively original and quirky and would have been my pick. I thought Germany would win it. I thought the UK's was awful altogether. Ireland's was as bland a ballad as you could get. Marty Whelan is beyond unbearable.

Noticed that alright. I think he was looking to the right of each entrant were their totals were rather than to the left where the current scores were shown. He mustn't have been expecting to be on :P

I must say I found it compulsive viewing but for all the wrong reasons. ;D
Mind you, I had to turn the sound off between acts as Marty and his non-stop drivel was wrecking my head. He's about as funny as Brendan O'Connor. 'Nuff said!
Our fella was bad enough with the two laddybucks leppin' all over the place. Their antics were synchronised with what yer man and his guitars was doing and to cap it all, the winner was a female Sumo wrestler, wearing a kimono, some cultural clash! That was funny enough but to cap it all, she thought she was a chicken!
I can't wait for next year. Mrs. Brown's Boys isn't nearly half as funny.

Has there been a genocide perpetrated against Scottish people or Cavan people, in which the portrayal of them as "money grabbers" was used to mobilise the widespread, systemic hatred and prejudice against them which enables genocide to happen?

That sort of thing is ok around here though.
Shi#te, thats me in trouble then. Told a similar joke at work last week but it was a scottish person instead.
Come to think of it, someone else was slagging off Cavan(sorry anyone from Cavan on here) people for being tight during another discussion. I shall be reporting him first thing tomorrow.
Has there been a genocide perpetrated against Scottish people or Cavan people, in which the portrayal of them as "money grabbers" was used to mobilise the widespread, systemic hatred and prejudice against them which enables genocide to happen?
Not sure about the scots but the Cavan wans have been given awful stick over the years.
I don't see anything wrong with it.
Supposed anti-semitism isn't acceptable, but anti-catholic, anti-irish, anti-abortion seems very acceptable.
That's without doubt one of the most pathetic comments I've seen on this site. Embarrassing stuff. Inability to distinguish between the state of Israel and "the Jews". Whinging about people playing the anti-Semitism card by being shockingly anti-Semitic.

It's mad the way there's a cohort of posters who cry "bully" as soon as they're outpointed in a debate.
And then see nothing wrong with obvious naked anti-semitism, calling anybody who objects a snowflake.
Mad, I tells ya.
There's a rather obvious hypocrisy there, but sure, nah...why even bother...

It's not just the stuff the Israeli state has done, it's the stereotypes like the tight Scotsman that can't even be spoken of. All attempts of reference to the Jewish people is lumped into the big anti-semitism net.
A tight Jew or a drunken Irishman. Why is one an acceptable stereotype and one not?
It was a joke and pretty f**king harmless for a bunch of white Irish people on a GAA forum.
Go write a strongly worded letter to Sacha Baron Cohen or Seth McFarlane who've spent the best part of 15 years telling the same kind of jokes to the mass market.

The Halocaust was carried out by the Nazis but the Jews try to make everybody feel guilty for it. Anyone criticizing the Jews is accused of antisemitism to the point that they can carry out atrocities of their own with impunity.
As far as the money grabber title is concerned, it is well deserved

I'm not familiar with Seth MacFarlane, but I would assume he is Jewish given his first name.
Sacha Baron Cohen can tell all the jokes about Jews that he likes, because he is one.
The thing is, his humour is designed to not only to laugh at his own historically oppressed ethnic group, which is he is entitled to do by virtue of being a member of that group, but to ridicule anti-semitism and anti-semites. And you clearly don't even get that.
Amy Schumer and Sarah Silverman can tell jokes about Jews and rape jokes, because they are both Jewish and women, and thus can use dark, confrontational humour to challenge and ridicule anti-semitism and misogynism.
A Muslim comedian gets to make jokes about Muslims. A disabled comedian gets to tell jokes about disabled people.
It's very clear you fail to understand the difference betwen that type of humour, and, say, Bernard Manning. Or Kevin Myers. Or Ron Atkinson.
Or this.

Excellent point and shows up the absurdity of some of the positions here. Funny is funny end of - Dougal's original joke here that sprouted this bleeting match was just shit tho.
Perhaps you might tell me who, if anyone, this joke would be offensive to:

It's very clear you fail to understand the difference betwen that type of humour, and, say, Bernard Manning. Or Kevin Myers. Or Ron Atkinson.
Or this.

Is Frankie Boyle on the racist list? What about Tommy Tiernan?
Yes and yes.
Anyone who says anything funny or witty about a person/country/race is on the list.
Jokes should all be like..........'Did you hear the joke about the bin........its rubbish' or maybe that is being offensive to bins?
Do Frankie Boyle and Tommy Tiernan deliberately vilify all people of certain ethnic groups merely because they are members of a certain ethnic group, in the way some posters on this site vilify Jews merely because they are Jews?
Sometimes on this forum one has to do a double take to make sure it's not a BNP forum.
Hmmmm.....they tell jokes about certain ethnic groups in their routine absolutely.
Asking do they vilify them would be a matter of opinion
Read back over the last couple of pages of this thread and tell me whether there has been outright anti-semitism on it.
Remember now, several posters have defended what was said.
Think carefully.
Just clarify what you define as being anti Semitic
I dislike Israelis because they steal Palestinians land and shoot dead unarmed protesters. Is that anti Semitic?

You started it off.
But your trope, anti-semitic as it was, is actually pretty mild compared to the Oliver J. Flanagan-esque rant that followed.

Really? A jews are tight with money joke?
Yes. A bit of light humour. Have you some point to make?
Yes. It was a joke in poor taste that reinforces old antisemitic tropes.
That sort of thing is ok around here though.
Shi#te, thats me in trouble then. Told a similar joke at work last week but it was a scottish person instead.
Come to think of it, someone else was slagging off Cavan(sorry anyone from Cavan on here) people for being tight during another discussion. I shall be reporting him first thing tomorrow.
Has there been a genocide perpetrated against Scottish people or Cavan people, in which the portrayal of them as "money grabbers" was used to mobilise the widespread, systemic hatred and prejudice against them which enables genocide to happen?
The Halocaust was carried out by the Nazis but the Jews try to make everybody feel guilty for it. Anyone criticizing the Jews is accused of antisemitism to the point that they can carry out atrocities of their own with impunity.
As far as the money grabber title is concerned, it is well deserved

If you object to the behaviour of the Israeli government and armed forces, as I do, that's clearly not anti-semitism.
If vilify Jews in general because of the actions of the Israeli government, that's anti-semitism.
If you vilify Jews in general as being "money grabbers", yes, that is very definitely anti-semitic - because it's the exact same type of ethnic vilification that led to the Holocaust.
It really is a shame to have to explain this stuff.

Not particularly, because it doesn't use a negative stereotype to generalise about Jews as a group.
Now, can you tell me whether you believe that negative stereotypes about Jews being money grabbers are anti-semitic?
Like yours, and like the even more vile post of Windmill Abu's?
Can you tell me whether such negative stereotypes were widely used to vilify Jews in 1930s Germany, thus preparing the ground for the Holocaust?
I'll make a leap and presume you have knowledge of what the Holocaust was.

3 Jewish billionaires - Paul Singer, Sheldon Adelson and Bernard Marcus- funded the lobby that convinced Trump to pull out of the Iran deal. They also heavily funded the lobby for the tax cuts that went 60% to the richest 1% of americans.
Is that antisemitic ?
It is very f**king dangerous.
When the US economy crashes along with the dollar, guess what will happen. The white elite will blame the Jews. And it will be easy. People in Indiana and Ohio will take the bait.

Sacha Baron Cohen can tell all the jokes about Jews that he likes, because he is one.
The thing is, his humour is designed to not only to laugh at his own historically oppressed ethnic group, which is he is entitled to do by virtue of being a member of that group, but to ridicule anti-semitism and anti-semites. And you clearly don't even get that.

Was in a pub at a function and the TV was on with no sound (why do they do this in pubs). Was ignoring it the best I could but was delighted to spot the Icelandic band sticking up for human rights.

Apparently this years contest has been cancelled.
Not a fan of it, but why couldn't they had each act perform in their own country? They don't really need to be in the same place. People would still be able to vote. It would be a few hours distraction. For some, anyway.

Won't be long until Scotland is in it anyway.
I thought Ireland had made it but obviously was wrong. I never understood why we don't enter a song showing off our traditional instruments and music. Europe goes mad for Irish music, and even if you never win, at least you're showcasing your national music and sound, staying true to yourself. Instead of the bollix we send to it. Sure it's nothing more than a hideous karaoke nowadays.

Said the same last night. In fact all nations should have to produce a song in their native language with traditional instruments. Ireland would give it a rare blast alright but let's face it, Ireland don't want to win it as it is too expensive to run!

Best song won. There is a snobbery that a rock/punk song can't be any good. That's it. Gimmicks and tricks will only get you so far. Ireland and UK are trying to hard to fit in. Be yourself, do the style you are best at. If the UK's foreign policy is not liked and affecting their Eurovision results, what the he'll is going on with Israel who do well annually and won the competition 3 years ago?

Didn't Israel win because they had the freak act?, ie. a big fat lesbian dressed like a clown. Usually the freakiest weirdo wins.
The skirt ripping would piss off the feminists/millennials/politically correct/whingy bastards these days though.
Even more reason to bring it back then!
Looks like the Colombian marching powder worked for the Italians anyway!
Ukraine the clear favourites this year (no need to guess why) one lyric in the song "I'll always find my way home even if all the roads are destroyed"
Well that didn't work out for Ireland. At least it looks like the Ukraine situation will stop what might have been a UK win.
The countries that gave UK nahin in the public vote:
Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Slovenia.
The Spain ass got plenty of the popular vote.
From the jury too, the horny bastids.
So Ukraine won.
I for one, am shocked.
Bad start. That girl didn't want to be there.

Lidl Killers win her.
That band Wild Youth had been lobbying RTE for Eurovision and they have a song by the same Swedish songwriter who wrote a precious crap effort for Ireland. The favourtism by RTE was clear. Scandalous waste of money and just utter torture inflicting that on viewers.
Johnny Rotten would have been a interesting rep, never knew both of his parents was from Ireland. Written song called Hawaii was about his wifes diagnosis with Alzeimher’s

She certainly did the heavy lifting this evening.
The rest of the songs were absolute shite, but it's not about the songs.
The Irish song sounded very similar to Will Young's Joy. Outfits looked terrible - lead singer was carrying a few too many pounds to be wearing a tight sparkly outfit. also read it was written by a Swedish songwriter who wrote another turkey for us a few years ago. Surely RTE can find a decent local songwriter. Maybe a song as Gaeilge next year.
I didn't want to be in the final anyway

We are poor. Been a long time since we sent a decent song. Between us not sending a entry for a couple of years to us entering novices from a talent show with a song shoved at them to sending a puppet Turkey in a shopping trolley. We have lost the whole purpose of what the Eurovision is about.
What is it about? As far as I can see it's turned into Pride on acid. LGBT fest with gothic / dark undertones in the performances. The weirder and more out there the better. Forget about the music or songs.

Aye, dead on ;D
I only watched the last 10 mins of the first semi final, onward from where Norway went ballistic and where there was a 10 second wrap of each of those performances that made it to the final, mostly pure gunge.
In retrospect the Irish people were 15 years ahead of time in selecting Dustin to represent the nation at eurovision. The song doesn't matter now in 95% of the performances, it's just a vehicle for other stuff.
The eurovision voting which was always a strong point for me is going too fast. Don't fix what isn't broken.
When did the Eurovision become trendy? I always thought it was a laughing stock

Be ashamed of the hypocrisy, both should be banned. Both breaking international law and murdering children. Yet a bunch of fuckwits will dance and jump around when Israel have their song and clap themselves on the back when they ban Russia.
I see Ireland didn't finish last in their semi final. 12th.
Was interesting that Swedish televote gave Finland 12 and Finland gave Sweden fcuk all.

1st and 2nd favourties to win and both better songs than the Irish one IMO.

Ahead of the event at Malmö Arena, fans have also been warned not to bring Palestinian flags or symbols to the event or bags and have been told that there will be "vigorous security checks".
The terrorist threat level is on four points out of five, but the Swedish Police Authority has said that this is not related to the contest.
There is not expected to be protests until later in the week, when Israel's Eden Golan performs Hurricane at the second semi-final on Thursday
I was hoping Ireland would boycott it so we wouldn't be subjected to that act representing the country.

We've sent good musicians before. We've sent a LGBTQ act that resonates with a lot of what eurovision stands for. We've sent good singers. We've sent popular social media acts. We've sent a god damn turkey. We've now sent something completely different to what we've ever sent before and it actually stands a decent chance of doing well on the left hand side of the board for first time in a long time

Never in doubt, especially when Croatia had to wait so long as well.

Upsetting your little narrow mind?
Aw diddums
No, but this country has some great musicians and singers. The fact that this was the best they could come up with is bonkers.
We sent the band Dervish filled with musicians in 2007, and they stood on stage miming to a back track. Eurovision is about a package of Song, dance, image, originality, a bit of madness and so on.
We have not been entering songs with the right characteristics up to now.
Would Bambie be representative of Macroom in general?
It's a song that has grown on me. They are clearly very talented and it's nice to have something different. So I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Crown the Witch!

We have some great musical talent alright but we haven't been sending them in 30 years. Other countries send their best and the results show it.
The easiest show ever to boycott.

Do they?
The act is totally batshit crazy but I was still interested in watching it. I'd watch it again too. I can see a decent result here.

I think some countries do. Ireland don't send their best. The UK doesn't send their best either.
Bambie has obvious good taste, in particular when it came to choosing which ogham symbol to place on the forehead.(https://static.independent.co.uk/2024/05/07/22/bambie%20thug%20eurovision.jpg?quality=75&width=640&auto=webp)

Calling her "they" is getting very dull. She is obviously very talented and doesn't need any artificial promotion.

Freakshow? does that mean drunken louts (allegedly) from Lurgan would not be regarded as a freak show in Armagh. How about a Catholic mass? is that normality or a freak show?
Bambie Thug is an artist, the elegant performance in the semi final was choreography perfected.
I haven't a notion about non-binary, BT's progress to the finals has brought much needed attention to this 'predicament'.
Regarding boycott, Israel are a participant not a direct opponent. They are also participants in Olympics, Euros, club competitions that league of Ireland clubs participate in, that clubs supported by Irish people (Celtic, Liverpool, Man United, etc) participate in.
Why are we only hearing the loudest voices against the Eurovision. How about a bit of pressure on our boxers, golfers, soccer players, runners, rowers...
We know we won't of course.
Do we only put pressure on the transgender queer who at least is very vocal in their support of Palestine. Loved the use of Ogham even if the organisers somehow turned out to be experts in ancient Irish script. Crown the Witch.

Give me a Catholic Mass over that Satanic Freakshow any day of the week and I haven't been to mass in ages.

You have got me thinking with that one. Very good point, will the Olympians etc get the same abuse going to a competition where Israel are completing?
I kinda like her act. People going on bout Satanism need to feel their superstitious 1930s Irish heads! It's a bitta craic, young ones dressing up ffs!
Well, truthsayer, you say the satanism is just young ones dressing up and having a but if craic, but it is more than that in Bambi Thug's case. She literally self-identifies as a witch.
Some lads here love to think they are awfully progressive and trigger happy smearing other people as narrow minded bigots. Whatever makes you feel good about yourselves. Personally, I think a grown adult actually believing herself to be a witch and running about in plastic horns, chrome nails and covered in body paint looks absolutely f**king ridiculous.
I saw some of the clips of "celebs" arriving at the met gala the other day in the most ridiculous outfits you could imagine. One was a woman wearing a dress that she was wrapped so tight in that she literally couldn't walk into the venue and had to be lifted and carried, upright, by her minders. I thought she looked f**king ridiculous but I suppose she's just really progressive and I'm a closed minded bigot.

Ever watch the hunger games?
Act not really my cup of tea, and the song itself without the visuals, is not exactly easy on the ear. But I get why it's popular at Eurovision. It's not a song contest anymore. Acts that are a bit "Eurotrashy" or a bit out there have generally done well since the days of Dana and Jonny Logan.
Didn't realise she identifies as a witch though, act makes more sense now I guess. Don't know what the big deal is, we're as much from pagan stock as christian stock.

And they may well think Wranglers, tucked in checked shirts and brown slip on boots are ridiculous.. Surely each to their own?
Theres nothing new about any of this though. Have people never watched Slipknot, Black Sabbath, etc?
Iron Maiden played here last year with a pentagram on stage and I don't recall a peep from anyone.
End of the day, it's Eurovision. Who cares.
Let's go back to 2 priests singing about a horse.

They may well think so. And they should be absolultely entitled to think as much without the likes of yourself riding in on your high horse to accuse them of being narrow minded bigots. Similarly, while I think a grown adult is entitled to self-identify as a witch, wear plastic horns and chrome claws and insist on being called 'they', I'm still allowed to say that I think they come across as absolutely ridculous.
It's the Eurovision thread, if there was an act that wasn't absolutely ridiculous then we would have a problem ;D ;D

I've called nobody a freak but there's a mentality among some that any criticism of Bambi is used as an excuse to throw around accusations of bigotry or intolerance. And of course it's a two way street. That's why I said Bambi would be perfectly entitled to regard someone in jeans and a tshirt who doesn't self-identify as a f**king witch, as ridiculous.
I've worked out over the years that the control buttons on the remote for the TV allow you to turn over and not be offended, it also works for Stephen Nolan

I think its all very harmless and if she identifies as a witch so what? Its a bit daft but I doubt that she'll be able to cast spells on people or sacrifice babies to the dark side. We've had punk rockers and goths and all sorts... there's nowt as quare as folk! It's her perogative if she wants to look as u describe 'f*****g ridiculous'. Have you even seen the Bishops in their big hats and cloaks and men kneeling kissing the rings on their hands and them swinging them smoke insense things? Ridiculous?
If Israel get to the final it will be nuts. It would be easy enough to manipulate public voting, I presume.

Jaysis did you read anything I write at all? You're essentially making my argument right back to me. As I already said, yes she might look at me as looking ridiculous for wearing jeans and a
t-shirt and she'd be perfectly entitled to. Just as I can say she looks ridiculous to me.

Who said they were offended by her?

I'd say that will be the lowest scoring Eurovision points they'll ever get
I see the Israeli singer was booed off stage by the crowd at the rehearsal. 😃

She literally self-identifies as a witch.
Some lads here love to think they are awfully progressive and trigger happy smearing other people as narrow minded bigots. Whatever makes you feel good about yourselves. Personally, I think a grown adult actually believing herself to be a witch and running about in plastic horns, chrome nails and covered in body paint looks absolutely f**king ridiculous.
I saw some of the clips of "celebs" arriving at the met gala the other day in the most ridiculous outfits you could imagine. One was a woman wearing a dress that she was wrapped so tight in that she literally couldn't walk into the venue and had to be lifted and carried, upright, by her minders. I thought she looked f**king ridiculous but I suppose she's just really progressive and I'm a closed minded bigot.
I think its all very harmless and if she identifies as a witch so what? Its a bit daft but I doubt that she'll be able to cast spells on people or sacrifice babies to the dark side. We've had punk rockers and goths and all sorts... there's nowt as quare as folk! It's her perogative if she wants to look as u describe 'f*****g ridiculous'.

Fair enough it is hard to make out what you're trying to say. Sounded like you're losing your sh*t bout some young one dresses as a witch or identifying as a witch..

I'm not sure.. the sexual identity of witches wouldn't be my strong point...
A warlock is a male witch, is it not?
What's a wizard then?!
Quite like the song. The fact that she's a freak is neither here nor there. An awful lot of self-obsessed freakos in the music-world.
Israel into the final.
Quote from: Blowitupref on May 09, 2024, 10:12:12 PMIsrael into the final.
Just goes to show not everyone has the same feelings about them.
You can get male witches
A few decent performances this year.
Standouts for me were Ireland, Switzerland and Croatia.
I like the performance too. She's getting serious abuse from Mother Ireland on social media (and I don't mean the Palestine situation). Can be a nasty little country couched in religious traditionalism etc
Aye was laughing at that.
A lot of the criticisms were coming from people who support men dressed in fancy gowns with mitres on their head, holding croziers, who are part of a murky cult that excludes women and abuse children.
Witchcraft could be on the rise.

Israel have suddenly gone 2nd in the betting at 11/2. Croatia still the favourties at 8/11.
Something has leaked to the bookies. The public vote has been massive.
Public vote? Haha!

Why can't there be non-binary witches?
Eurovision has kicked out the Netherlands' entrant following a controversy over an 'incident' he was involved in.
Joost Klein was alleged to have made verbal threats to a female Eurovision production worker at the event's venue in Malmo, Sweden, on Thursday night.
