Isn't it about time we stopped entering the eurovision song contest?

it is now beyond a joke, even terry wogan sounded fed up i know our song wasn't brilliant , but for heavens sake spain and albania didn't deserve more. i think ireland definately had the right idea. what do you think?

Hiya Jennie. I am Irish and I was ashamed of our entry although I do agree with you. Terry wants to resign and by Irelands entry, we have resigned too. It is such a waste of taxpayers money now and it is only a competion for the Balkan states. Lets give it a miss next year and find something more worthwhile to spend money on like reducing our shopping bills and gas/oil prices.
Reply:I think it's a farce now anyway.





Who gets to decide which countries go to the live show, and which don't? They chucked out Ireland, Belgium, Switzerland, amongst many others before the public even got to SEE their entry. Yet they let silly acts like Spain through. I don't think anyone can judge on behalf of Europe, other than the public themselves.





The eastern European countries all vote for each other, as do the Scandinavians. The UK being an island has nobody but the Irish to vote for them. I think we should divide the "United Kingdom" into England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, to ensure WE can vote for each other, and win the contest! I know our entry was a bit crap this year, but this political voting has been going on for years, and it's stupid.





It's good for a laugh though.
Reply:yea. its ridicilous now. 14 points must have been best we've done in a long time.


But loads of the other acts were beyond a bloody joke!


Who actually likes those wierdos?!


waste of the singers time and waste of ours.


like the guy above me said all the countries vote for the country next to them. so all the Eastern europeans are gonna vote for each other and we're only gonna get Ireland to back us up.
Reply:Lol,i think we should still send terry though to make fun of all the other entries,and when it comes to our turn he can just put any old cliff richard song on the CD player,i mean let's face it we aint going to win anyway so why bother creating a new entrant! :-)
Reply:I disagree. At least it's one night out of 365 where I can have a good laugh at the other countries.


Anyway, if Wogan doesn't want to do it anymore he can always retire.
Reply:Eurovision song contest is so pointless. I think it would have a negative effect on the country if we won it,
Reply:There were LOTS of good songs but none of them got enough points. Well actually I wasn't hoping for anything else but still... I hate winner's song... So yeah it's about time we stop entering ESC.
Reply:Yes.


It is a joke.


And a political fix.


As an Irishman I think that we were robbed.


Dustin deserved his place.
Reply:in my opinion eurovision should neva exist, its so bad and more cheesy that my feet and cheese makers put together.

I didn't watch it, but I'll take your word re Spain, Albania and Ireland!
Reply:Yesssss it is gettin really bad and all of our entries try their best but are knocked back by the fact they get hardly any points. It is sad now.
