Irelands entry isn’t much different fromlast year, and I am expecting another mid table result. I love the EU expansion, if only for the fact it brings us more and more new tat for us to laugh at on Eurovision night. Unfortunately, the UK decided not to use Gemini again. Best. Out of tune Eurovision entry. Ever. ---

And BTW. The thing is called the **Eurovision Song Contest**. Eurovision is just another name (sort of) for the European Broadcasting Union. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/all-ready-for-eurovision/235458.md?page=1)
