Did Ireland's 12 votes for Lithuania have anything to do with the large Lithuanian population in Ireland. The same could be said for Germany's 12 for Turkey.

I'm what? I'm ants at a picnic?
The primary aim of the contest now is to qualify for the final of the next one. We did that, so it was a successful contest in 2006 from an Irish point of view.
mypost, your devote interest in the Eurovision is quiet worrying. Why do you really honestly care about it - do you have something against music?
For me the primary aim was to make Brian Kennedy look like the pompus **** he is and from what I can see it was mission accomplished.
And so if we dont win it next year it will be a failure so we have no need to get involved again

Doubt it really , i think we appreciate the irony a bit more than our continental friends . i would have voted for it and from anyone who watched the semifinals that i was talking to it was the song they all rememebered.Did Ireland's 12 votes for Lithuania have anything to do with the large Lithuanian population in Ireland. The same could be said for Germany's 12 for Turkey.
Wtf????
Some people love Star Trek, some others love BB, I love the Eurovision. What should you worry about?
thats why i have the whole song on my phone as a mp3..its legendary!
Luxembourg won it 5 times despite the fact that none of the singers ever came from there. Winners included Vicky Leandros ( Greek) Ann-Marie David ( French) to name two. Some other entrants representing the Grand Duchy included Plastic Bertand ( Belgium) and Geraldine Branagan( Ireland).I think Italy and Luxembourg stopped entering a few years ago.

So whatever you can say about Italy ( who I think won it twice) Luxembourg with 5 victories are high up on the roll of honour ... if that is appropriate for the Eurovision Song Contest
So Luxembourg is famous for 5 Eurovision Wins, Radio Luxembourg and of course Jeunesse Esch

...Sligo band, Dervish, have been chosen to represent Ireland in the 2007 Eurovision song contest. Due to Brian Kennedy doing well in the 2006 competition, they will qualify automatically for the final.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Irish traditional diddlyah folk music is hugely popular in Europe, good call on the choice of band!
Not as well as many of us hoped ...though if I'd been offered Ireland finishing 150 points behind the winners I'd have jumped at it.

that’s a very interesting one. Who’d have thought it. Morrissey for Eurovision. They’d get great support if he went on it...
'Fascists dress in black and go round telling people what to do, where as priests.....'
…and why not? It’d be good to see him drag the standard up rather than the usual bag of butlins redcoats, wedding bands, karaoke finalists and …erm ...paedophiles the Royaume Uni normally sends. Maybe he'll declare for us? Either way Moz has my vote.
I won 70 bucks on Lordi last year and reckon this year Halloween will happen in May there’ll be so many tosspots at Eurovision who just don’t get it.

Hope so! If Morrissey gets it, ill put money that he wins it. Although he may be writing it rather than singing it. Still good though.

Just another loser to add to the collection?
In what sense? Losing a competition that will see virtually no material loss to him in terms of ticket and record sales?
That the fortnightlys will turn on him? He's had good support for two albums off them ...their due to turn on him and rubbish the next one whether it's the greatest record ever made or not.
I'm sure it appeals to his nostalgic bent to walk in the foootsteps as it were of the likes of Sandi Shaw. I'm sure the tongue in cheek factor and campiness of it all isn't lost on much on the guys fanbase.
I think he's on a win-win. If he actually wins the thing he's seen as saving and renewing the things (non-existant) credibility. I f he does badly -then it'll be played as proof positve that the things is a joke and should be put down.
The only banana skin I see is him finishing as one the runners up in a tight top five. Not sure how that'd play out.

No, in that Morrisey is a loser. A sef-centered, egomaniacal idiot of the highest order.
If Stephen Morrissey ( for that is his name) was a footballer, given his parentage we would be expecting him to declare for the Republic.
Given that he is by birth an Irish citizen, the bloody English are stealing OUR people again. Ed Joyce, Kyran Bracken and now Morrissey? Haven't they got 60 million of their own to choose from for Eurovision?
Eurovision junkies should be reminded that the song that Dervish* will perform in this year's Eurovision final, will be decided on the Late Late Show Eurovision special tonight.
