Irish act Jedward reach Eurovision final in Azerbaijan

They reinforce the typical Irish stereotype - the stupid one, not the chirpy drunk one. That can't be good!

Well we sent a fowl mouthed turkey to take the piss and people got upset that the Irish were just taking the piss out of the show, we now send them jedward to take the piss and they complain that they are crap.
Its a pity Dermot Morgan died as that would still make the best entry ever

I'm sure they would take a punt on that.

I thought it was only the Brits that did that, and that the rest of 'Europe' thought it the most scintillating and serious competition.

Which to the rest of the Europeans out there, it isn't! Unless we win with our old man act.

Estonians also took the piss out of it last time roudn, I would approve if we did it every year. Or was Leto Svet our song two years ago, **** if I remember.

You've more chance of getting bitten on the bottom by a cabbage.

Since the break up of some of the larger countries into smaller ones, the competition has become quite partisan in its voting trends.

All in all a worthless show that carries little weight in musical terms other than in the country said winner originates from.

Lordi's win a couple of years ago made a refreshing change, but since it's returned to dross. Lordi's name I'll remember but aside from Bucks Fizz, Dana (normal and International), Lulu, Brotherhood of Man, Katrina and the Waves and the barefoot Sandie Shaw I can remember no other names.

Just heard on the news the Spanish contestant has been told NOT to win by her government because the rules state the winner hosts the following years event and the Spanish don't feel as if they can afford to do that
