At least it wasn’t Jedward.

I don’t mind Jedward existing, we’ve all liked something stupid at one time or another, and they’re so bland and inoffensive that parents can feel it’s safe to bring their kids to see them. So I don’t mind they exist, so long as I never have to see or hear them. The fact that they can’t sing and are incredibly annoying when they’re not aside; they are just such a product.

They really are produced within an inch of their lives. Apparently they’re contractually obligated to always appear in a certain order. So the one on the right is always on the right, though don’t ask me which one.

Of course it’s obviously working for them so well done, just stay away from me.

I didn’t watch all the Eurovision but I did catch their entry, just to see how bad it was, and the thing the struck me was the exact same amount of work went into the mini water fountain that moved to the music as their dancing. The exact same type of work too. And the song was pretty much nothing but at least it wasn’t grating to the ear like most they’re songs. Just forgettable to the point of non-existence.

Ireland's stopped trying to win the Eurovision for awhile now, ever since we won a bunch of times and almost bankrupted the country, but when Dustin the turkey was our entry one year I think we officially gave up. When a puppet from a children’s show is an entry it stops being about not winning and starts being actively sabotaging our chances.

It really shouldn't have been left to a popular vote.
Of course a parody of the eurovion song contest is going to be popular, it doesn’t mean you enter it into the contest it's parodying.

And having Jedward as our entry really isn’t going to convince me you’re taking it seriously.
