Hi Chris

Is 4th for Ireland really so bad? Sertab sang from this position and won for turkey ! If another rock song gets through from the semi and sings 3rd it'll also be to our advantage as it'll make our song stand out a bit...anyway,who knows? at the end of the day,if a song is performed well on the night I guess it doesn't matter where its drawn.
I agree with your sentiments regarding Justin Hawkins-saw him on telly this morning and he was a total plank.The french girl,Cyndi has a good tune.Anyway,best of Irish luck to the UK on saturday!!!!
Might I also just compliment you on a terrific Blog-really entertaining & informative!
keep up the good work!

Hi Trevor

glad you like the bog... always nice to get compliments!

Hmmm yeah I think 4th for Ireland is terrible... coming right before the home entry is never easy, plus to start early on with a ballad you need a really outstanding performance to make an impact.

I don't know if dervish have any tricks they intend to pull out of the bag, but I see nothing in their performance from the LLS that makes their performance either interesting or memorable.

To be honest I'm non too keen on her voice... it just hurts me, but I guess with Ireland you never can tell.

I still think that Ireland is most likely to be the recipient of the UK's 12 points this year though.
