Does Terry Wogan Realise That Ireland Was Doing The Same Thing As Former Russian!


Question: Does Terry Wogan Realise That Ireland Was Doing The Same Thing As Former Russian States!?
I am an Irishman, but I have to acknowledge that Ireland was doing the same thing as former Soviet states, in giving neighbour
England a hefty vote that appeared to have nothing to do with the quality of the song!.
Politics weren't just operating in Russia!.
My own country should be ashamed, too!.
How do you feel about neighbouring countries voting for each other!?
Or is it supposed to be about the song!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Same every year, people complain about 'political voting' and neighbours giving each other votes!. Yes, there is political voting, yes, neighbours do give each other votes, the voting can be really predictable too!.

But, if the voting were totally to do with politics, neighbours or predictable voting, then surely the contest would stay in one or two places forever!? Song quality does have something to do with it!.

Take the past few years - Greece won in 2005 but the winners next were Finland - even taking into account the Scandinavian/Estonian votes, other countries obviously liked the song, or they wouldn't have won it!. then it goes to Serbia, then Russia!.

also, take into account the songs the likes of UK, France etc have submitted over the past few years!. Not really that great!.

So, in my opinion, despite neighbours votes etc, the song does have some say in the results!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

its probably because Andy Abraham is as big a household name in Ireland as he is in the uk cos the X factor is on TV3 (an Irish TV Station) aswell as ITV1 and plus most people in ireland have SKY or NTL so they have all the ITV stations anyway

and aswell as that it probably is a bit political but i mean its the eurovision: "my own country should be ashamed" - get over it - its a stupid song contest that we sent a turkey to!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I totally agree, although I think Ireland voted for the UK because it felt they are treated unfairly compared to some of the countries!. It's all become political!. It should just be a bit of fun but the voting between neighbouring countries has got ridiculous!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

i think it's both political and regional thing!. and by regional i mean that people ireland and uk have more common culture than ireland and azerbijan, so you understand british taste of music but not balcan dances!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

we watch it in oz and love it!.Terry is a classic ,his comments actually turn what could be the most boring show into a comical night!.
Greece should have one i my opinion!.As genghis khan once said "oh those Russians'Www@Enter-QA@Com

what rubbish! if that's the case then can you explain why San Marino gave the UK points!?!?!?!? Maybe Ireland gave the UK points because they were giving votes for song and performance and not for political reasonsWww@Enter-QA@Com

England didn't perform, Britain did and if you don't know the difference the education system in Ireland must be really poor!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Really!. Who cares!!!!!Www@Enter-QA@Com

It Is What It Is Man!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

sorry, but I don't agree with you!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

We (Ireland) only gave the UK 8 points (despite the song being bad), not the 12, which the Eastern European countries did give their neighbours!. I did notice it when Ireland gave their vote!. did you also notice that the 10 and 12 points went to lativa and poland which are the two largest immigrant communities in Ireland!.

it hasn't been a "song contest" for years, they should have changed the title long ago!. I don't like bloc voting, it ruined it years ago when it first started!.

last year someone said the only way for Ireland or the UK to win is to move the country to Eastern Europe or somewhere where we or they would have alot of neighbours!.

but what do I know I loved the Bosnia and Herzegovina song but wogan hated it and slated it all night!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
