Eurovision Review: Ireland

Ireland have won more Eurovisions than any other country. 3 times it was the fault of Australia's Johnny Logan. Eurovision was also where Riverdance was unleashed on the world... and this years Eurovsion paid homage to that in their clip...Donna & Joe, "Love?"

(unrelated song of the day) Ireland - Tori Amos (only because she is in Perth ATM)
Drivin' in my Saab
On my way to Ireland
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
Drivin' with my friends
On my way to Ireland
It's been a long time
It's been a long time

I have always thought of tori amos as a little pretentious... anyway back to Eurovision. Joe is one of the younger entrants of Eurovision. the youngest Eurovision winner was 15 (apparently, there are rumours she was younger). Joe is only 17 and his sister donna is 20

this song is not a favourite entry by an means. most UK reviews I have heard say this song sucks. I don't know. I agree with most of the lyrics but I don't know about the rest. It might turn out to be number 8 for Ireland though, if Donna & Joe have enough "Love?"

Eurovision Review: Slovenia

Slovenia have been in 11 Eurovisions prior to this year as an independant country. I don't know if the title of this years song though is meant to be a request.... Omar Naber - "Stop"

(unrelated song of the day) Song From Slovenia - James Durst
Winding out of Maribor on the road to Ljubljana
Flying past the mini-cars in our winged Americana
With a honk for roadside peasants and a prayer to some madonna
If you blink, you'll miss the mountain

Mountain, I think the missed the bloody boat... anyway back to Eurovision. I am watching the clip of thei song and I don't get the Ballet in ancle deep water. I dont get why the Slovene version of this song says "Vsaj reci mi stop" (rough translation is at least say to me "stop" though the english lyrics are just "at least say stop") and I dont get the break it with bit with Guitars 2/3s of the way through.

again I wont dicount this song from winning. the version I heard was the Slovene version and maybe the English version comes across better, I dont know. whatever Omar Naber just "Stop" already
