They’ve had that article written and ready for a few weeks now I’d say.
She did grand.
As granny would say, at least she didn’t make a show of us.
Wasnt a great song. Ireland’s Eurovision entries need to be taken out of the hands of Boomer Central through the late late show. There should be a stand alone TV show that’s put in the hands of the younger generation if Ireland is to compete again. But I think RTE are happy to underinvest in Eurovision, more money for Tubridy’s flip flops and mega salaries for their top brass.
Shame. I liked the song
was rooting for her it’s just something not right with the audio / robotic sound and static stage didn’t worked for me.
Fairplay to her for boycotting the final.
Should have boycotted in the first place.
Raging czechia didn’t get in
Who knew that sending a song that was rejected to even be in the Norwegian national final would fail to qualify for the Eurovision final
Ireland’s performance wasn’t great but I’m absolutely shocked that Lithuania got in ahead of Australia.
EDIT:
I re-watched Ireland’s performance, they added some backing vocals that just sounded off. The Late Late performance incorporated the dance into the song, but they didn’t seem to do this for tonight. I feel bad for the two back up dancers that got sacked for this.
Was a tragically mid act to send. You’d think they were on to something after sending Bambi last year but nope, that must have been a fluke
I don’t mind.
But Fu***** Israel
Dark forces at work
She seems lovely and full of heart, but absolutely nothing about that song was even remotely representative of Ireland. There’s one man in charge of selection and his tenure has long been redundant
I for one am fucking shocked that a terrible song about a Russian dog sang by a Norwegian didn’t get us into the final. Who could have seen that coming?
The Eurovision makes jedward look like the Beatles
Nice. Can’t wait to see what bland, forgettable act we send next year.
Yet Armenia who used pre recorded vocals most of the performance which by the way looked like an ad for a male body spray and had ten songwriters and still somehow managed to rhyme survivor with alive-or qualified over it
We all knew it wouldn’t get to the final. Jesus the standard in comparison was stark. We looked like a poorly produced cabaret act.
The lyrics has a nice story behind it, but I really hated the 2010 nightclub vibe. It really killed the song.
I don’t know what we were thinking with this, are we trying to meta the whole thing and impress the eastern europeans. Or is it a case of phoning it in so we don’t risk having to actually host it?
A norwegian singer singing about russian history, how is this representing us?
Fuck Israel
Tbh deserved. It was a boring song, sounds like a mid Eurovision entry from 10 years ago.
Really disappointed we didn’t build on what we sent last year and send something a bit different
The staging and vocals just weren’t strong enough. It was always thought to be a borderline non-qualifier, so I’m not surprised it didn’t go through.
And with Sweden as overwhelming favorites, we are on the verge of losing our Eurovision reign at the top for wins. Maybe they will light a fire under RTE.
It’s so frustrating when we send the most bland, nothing sandwich songs to Eurovision.
Take a risk, send something a bit different like Bambi last year or at very least send something Irish, lyrics as gaeilge or traditional singing/dancing.
1997 called it wants it’s shite B-side back but you can keep the dancin’ it said.
She was STATIC and her little dance moves whilst static were very amatuer. I think her National Final performance was better because she can own a small stage but can not command a big stage. She seemed more confident on the Late Late performance also. She made zero effort to elevate the Eurovision performance (compared to Luxembourg who transformed their performance for the actual Eurovision).
Australia was robbed. Of course the genocide state got into the final.
You could tell she wasn’t comfortable dancing high up on that little platform as she was stiff in her movements.
Bad idea whoever pushed for that, i think it affected her confidence.
I heard it on the radio today. So bad was never getting through. Poor girl whoever picked her is to blame. Like the joke is long over send a good song with a good artist and stop the embarrassment and let us enjoy the competition again 🤷♂️
Very very disappointing, we really need to scrap ghe whole Late Late thing for selecting entries and have a proper mini Eurovision with more entries and in a proper theatre/stage
Just for reference, this is what Finland have instead of the Late Late Show for their national final.

To the surprise of no one
To say I’m shocked is an overstatement
Semi finals almost Laika final anyway.
It was shite

Kneecap next year lads
It was pure shite in fairness, compared to Bambi’s performance last year this was a massive step down
Can we at least get an Irish contestant next year?
Dead in the water from the get go. Like we all knew we weren’t qualifying when this was selected
