If Westlife were to represent Ireland, it'd be a test of their popularity in Europe (I strongly suspect we or rather Westlife fans in the UK would give Ireland, twelve points).
I don't think the Irish Eurovision committee would chance it....just in case they win! Plus they're probably a pricey act to hire. The Irish seem content with not bothering too hard for the past few years. I wonder if they're still paying for the costs of staging three successive Eurovisions in a row?

Would Louis Walsh risk the potential humiliation? I doubt the gobshite would even dare.
Precious anyone? |

I'd put in Girls Aloud - repectable, good music, but still a bit camp - Europe would go mad for it! |

Also, I'd be prepared to bet alot of money that Tony Christie will show up in the UK final for Eurovision next year!
He's tried to revive his career after Amarillo and good for him, but it hasn't really worked has it? Eurovision is the classic "last resort". Be prepared to see him next year! |

Last year's voting was an absolute shambles although I think the best act won. However, a good performance from a well-established act like Brian Kennedy would (and has often in the past) picked up quite a few "second place" votes and I think it could well give Ireland their best result since the winning-streak. Although I must admit there's definately no danger of ESC coming to London or Dublin next year! In reply to another post - get ready for Chico at ESC next year! It sounds very very likely! |
