2004 edit

It is a sad, sad thing, this "You're a Star". Ireland won the Eurovision more times in a row than anyone else, based on our cultural music or modernised dirivatives. Songs like "The Voice" won the Eurovision with good reason because they were very good music and spoke well of Ireland.

Alas, then the sell-out. "You're a Star!" encouraged pop-music kids to flock to the stage, warbling saddening renditions of radio-spam or little ditties of their own devising. Sure, the cream may rise to the top, but it doesn't mean much is the milk is sour.

The sooner Ireland returns to real music entries to the Eurovision, the happier I'll be. I think that the number of people watching the show has actually decreased with the advent of a "broader" kind of music.

I think the whole situation seemed to get a little worse when I saw Russia doing the same, and forwarding a pop band to represent their otherwise distinctive culture. Everyone seems to be doing it, and it's destroyed the last vestiges of the Eurovision, which was supposed to be a cultural showcase. Damn. - Cathal

And? What's your point? It doesn't seem to be relevant to the content of the article. - ^R_H^e_o^d_t

New Article For 2005-2006

I'm debating if I should create a new page for the 2005-2006 season which would be of similar detail to The X Factor UK series 2 page. Any suggestions?--Alan Frize 18:08, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
