Is it just me or does it look exactly the same?

It's the same

Maybe it was all background work and then one day it will just change?

Edit: yes all background; http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/annou...t.php?f=&a=399

Do we have a working search function again?!

P.s Ireland are revealing their artist tonight and it's all Louis Walsh's fault

So that was just a trial run to do some in-house testing then?

Got my ticket for You Decide in the post today! They've invited Rybak along... no wonder they upgraded to the Apollo, needed the extra room to fit his ego.

As for Estonia, well I think the recent blows have taken a toll. Not as good as recent years. Liis, Lenna, Kerli, Elina, Antsud and Koit & Laura are my favourites - I probably wouldn't like Kerli's as much if it wasn't her, if that makes sense. Not as good as some of her other stuff and Elina gets some familiarity leeway as well for her weaker effort.

I had a rethink and thought I best not spoiler in case it is him tonight, but you go on, Anne.

Terrible, little, breathy voice. Good luck with that one RTE! He's like a mouse, vocally.

Oops!

With Louis deciding... maybe this is the year!

Ireland are revealing tonight, though? All articles I can find just say that Louis has full control - doesn't sound like they've decided yet?

I'd be loathe to dismiss any entry Louis is involved in. He was fully behind Jedward's bid in 2011 and brought in creative people like Caroline Downey to stage the entry and it's believed he sourced Lipstick himself.

He does have numerous contacts in the business, meaning he might be able to find a good song for the act and will certainly be very good at promoting the entry pre-Eurovision.

Dead at that picture!

I guess people are running with it since Louis is heavily involved, he loves a boyband and this lad attended the X Factor Final.

I know we all make fun of Louis but he wouldn't have lasted this long in the industry if he was just the bumbling fool the media likes to portray him as. Hopefully he's found something decent.

Eurgh no, I'd take Jedward again over some non-entity from a flop boyband.
Maybe Louis has snagged Saara Aalto for us?!

Only 2011 kids will understand this!

Kinda disappointed, I was hoping we'd have the update by tonight, aw well at least I have the chance to bid farewell to this cute critter.

Umm...I don't know about you but when a forum goes off for 3 days, I expect it to at least look like something's happened Is it all internal changes at their end?

Oh, yes, Estonia! Well, Liis is my pick from SF2. I also think Kerli's effort is mediocre at best. The song's not up to her usual standard. And from SF1, probably Lenna or Elina. Laura is just nuts - We lost our Veronaaaa!

Spirit Animal is much much much better than Diamond Hard and Feral Hearts. I haven't listened to the other songs in the NS but I can't see anything overtaking it and I don't particularly like Kerli.

Oh Louis Walsh is choosing Ireland's entry?

I can see it being one of Hometown then, they've just split up, he'll get the one he sees most potential in to do it, but not the one that is doing Strictly.

Kerli & Daniel Levi Band are my faves from Estonia SF2

Sad that I don't love Liis Lemsalu's song as I entered her into DSFE about 5 years ago when it first started Always feel attached to my fantasy acts aha.

HomeTown were a bit of a guilty pleasure but I am VERY shocked that it is Brendan chosen of the lot. Some really good guitary people and he has a really weak voice so I can't see Ireland in the final but won't judge too much until the song is released.

It's funny how the same thing happened last year with the Irish act. And it'll probably have the same result. Surely RTÉ can't be so desperate that they'll take the first offer they're given. It feels like they've given up.
