The Eurovision 2020 Semi Final Allocation Draw took place at Rotterdam city hall today.
Ireland will perform in Semi Final 1!
Few songs selected at the moment but traditional heavyweights Sweden, Russia, and Ukraine among the countries in this tough group …

Israel? – wtaf?
They’re EBU members. It’s not hard to understand why they’re there.
…last year the apartheid zionist regime hosted the event in Tel Aviv…the BDS movement in Ireland pleaded with RTE not to participate but they ignored them…Marty Whelan compered the event and boasted about how he was feted…
I don’t disagree with anything you said. But they are an EBU member and entitled to be there. That’s pretty much it.
Rumours of Dermot Kennedy, Aine or Samantha Mumba are being considered
The nine year old girl in me still adores Samantha Mumba
Russia are not heavyweights..one win …the other two yes
You need to get out more champ.
Oh lighten up – lots of Irish people like the eurovision, lots of gay men like the eurovision.
Lots of Irish gay men LOVE the eurovision :)
I remember an argument wifh a musically-illiterate colleague once who smugly claimed that there were two Eurovision audiences:
Those who watch Eurovision.
Those who watch it…but say they don’t.
He was wrong. There’s a third category:
Those who don’t watch Eurovision!
and Paddy power have the book done on it already…Italy favourites at 7/1….how do they do it…spooky
Because Italy uses the San Remo music festival as the way to pick their entry- it’s one of the most respected music contests in the world and is where Italian music stars are made. Just look at their results since they returned to the competition- always a favourite because the songs are usually great.
We need Una Healy to save us.
We need Una Healy with a sampled “Come Out Ye Black and Tans” ditty to save us.
We’re doomed.
I know Australia have been entered in to this “contest” for a few years now
But how did they get involved in the first place?
What is going to happen next
The U.S.A. next year?
HRD and Broadsheet puts up some clickbait. Works. Obviously.
