Who's entering for your country? Is it just a joke or do you get serious? Ireland this year entered Dustin the Turkey, a sock puppet, with the song 'Irelande Douze Pointe'.  Personally, I thought it was a load better than some stuff.... But apparently our joke act didn't even make it through to the finals! http://uk.news.yahoo.com/itn/20080521/ten-eurovision-dustin-cries-fowl-ea4616c.html Oh well.  Post your eurovison news and views here! « Last Edit: May 17, 2009, 05:43:00 am by maryd » Report to moderator   Logged AnnieG (OLC) Elijah Worshipper Offline Gender: Posts: 264 I'm a llama!

Sorry your song didn't get through to the finals maryd - I thought it was highly entertaining myself but looks like our fellow europeans didn't get the joke.

Hope you get to see some highlights or something Annie - I love Terry Wogan so I always watch the one on BBC rather than the one broadcast on the Irish channels.  And good luck to Andy for England of course!

Thanks for the good luck wishes with our entry but I don't hold out much hope.  Report to moderator   Logged Young&Desperate 4Attention{DA} * Offline Gender: Posts: 2905 Re:Eurovison 2008 « Reply #4 on: May 23, 2008, 07:45:31 am » I just learned that Holland is out... Haha I don't mind, because our singer sucks. She's stupid and her song was annoying anyways... I don't like Eurovision anyways... They say it's not fair played Report to moderator   Logged Sig&Av by -Kerosene on iconator.com AnnieG (OLC) Elijah Worshipper Offline Gender: Posts: 264 I'm a llama!

Especially in recent years it seems that politics has decided the winner rather than the quality of the song. Report to moderator   Logged m Be yourself.
