A SAD SAD ENTRY

Its very embarressing watching the Eurovision Song Contest with a bunch of foreigners when Ireland comes paddy last. Especially as I told everyone that Ireland had a quiet chance.

Ofcoarse we didn´t have a hope...as our song was completly kack. Although I did put up an argument that our song was the only song in the competition which at least attempted to represent our musical heritage...the rest was just a stew of camp pop.

Also watching the Eurovision with a bunch of foreigners, you begin to realise how beautiful the people of the continent are compared to us. When it came around to the voting section, the various foreign representives chosen to read out the jury results were a mix of stunning women and brutish men...i began to worry. Oh god...whos going to represent Ireland...who will be the face of Ireland this year?

I began to wish stupid things. Hmmmm, maybe RTE will be clever...maybe they will get Glenda Gilson...Rosanna Davidson...Andrea Corr...

But no...intead they got Linda Martin.

Now usually I would never dream of critisising Linda Martin...but with the usual overdose of RTE make up and dodgy lighting...well...lets just say, it was a bit frightening. She had a huge astronauts wife haircut too. I have a feeling that if you were to go back in time...all the way to the year...1960...our Jury representative would look exactly the same.

I was hoping we would finish ahead of the UK...just for the sake of competition...but that didn´t work out as we gave them 12 points...and they gave us nothing!

I was really disappointed by the new voting system too. I missed the last couple of Eurovisions...but when did they start just announcing the top 3 points...and not the usual 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,12.

The voting is what the Eurovision is all about dammit!

I didn´t care too much for the winning song...I much preferred Russias entry. THe reasons are obvious.

Yes its true...I´m a Eurovision geek!
