    The eurovision was a joke long before this! It isnt even anything to do with the songs anymore….

  20. #20 - JC says – reply to this

    NOONE in Ireland likes Dustin, are you kidding!?! Unless they're mentally retarded.. the mind boggles!! What were they thinking!?!

  21. #21 - Aine says – reply to this

    O God, it was funny at the time in Ireland because the Eurovision is a joke in general, but now that it gone global….it so cringy!

    I'm soooooo embarrassed!

  22. #22 - Jennifer says – reply to this

    Dustin is a legend in his own right in Ireland, he has released loads of stuff before. The Eurovision is a joke anyways so why not send him, hey who knows he may even win. Now THAT would be funny

  23. #23 - lauri says – reply to this

    The Eurovision IS a joke, hence why we have entered Dustin the Turkey as our entry. Gotta love our sense of humour though !!!!

  30. #30 - Lola says – reply to this

    England always takes it as a joke. Ireland are now because of block voting, and the fact that last year they got 0, right? Anyway, they have to get through the semis first. And to be honest with you Perez, hardly anyone over your end knows what this contest is about anyway.

  31. #31 - Ben says – reply to this

    It's absolutely hideous, I can't listen to it all the way through.

    But there is nothing u cld do to make the Eurovision any camper and jokier than it is.

    Still, its been going for over half a century (which makes it allmost as old as TV istself) and is only getting more popular ……………..

  32. #32 - person says – reply to this

    no one wants to win cos the winner has to host it.. and it cost lots of money for nothing..

  33. #33 - -- says – reply to this

    WTF

  34. #34 - Gráinne says – reply to this

    the eurovision has always been one big cheesefest joke

    its the highliight of my year

    COME ON DUSTIN BRING THE EUROVISION BAK HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

  35. #35 - Annie says – reply to this

    i heard Ireland were fed up of winning coz its costs so much to hold the contest that they've purposely sabotaged their entry…

  36. #36 - Rebecca says – reply to this

    Sad thing is it probablly will win. Eurovision has been a joke for years. Nocountry votes for the best song, they vote for the countries they are "friendly with"

  37. #37 - kroko says – reply to this

    the eurovision song contest itself is so embarrasing, therefore i favour only silly acts in order to boycott cheesy appearances…

  38. #38 - Anastasia Beaverhausen says – reply to this

    HILLL- ARIOUS

  39. #39 - nix says – reply to this

    Oi leave Dustin alone Perez he is an institution he has had a few number (in ireland but hey still no.1s) ones and all for charity I'll have you know! Don't diss the turkey! In fairness I reckon the dafter the entry the more likely it is to win - the eurovision is a joke and us Irish know that :)

  40. #40 - Irish Guy says – reply to this

  41. #41 - dublin deadly says – reply to this

  42. #42 - lou says – reply to this

    that's Dustin the Turkey!
    Eurovision is just a bit of fun anyway…

  43. #43 - Ruthy says – reply to this

    Dustin the turkey is letting all the other countries participatin in the eurovision that (we)Ireland do not take it seiously anymore! and I say fairplay!

  44. #44 - OMG says – reply to this

    haha, what is this about??
    thats the funniest thing ive ever seen

  45. #45 - JC says – reply to this

    The guy who does Dustin's voice must have no shame to begin with (Psycho) but who's the sad bitch who agreed to provide backing vocals to a puppet turkey?!? Somewhere in the world, someone must be looking for her with a big net and tranquilizers for real!!

  46. #46 - Adrieanne!! says – reply to this

    GO WAN YA GUD TING!!!!

    DUSTIN THE TURKEY IS THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!!!!

  48. #48 - Fiona says – reply to this

  50. #50 - Dubliner says – reply to this

    The Eurovision was a joke LONG before our beloved Turkey decided to enter the contest Perez!

    BTW, i think he'll win!!!!!

  51. #51 - glo says – reply to this

    THE EUROVISION HAS TURNED INTO A JOKE DUSTIN IS DOING WHAT HE DOES BEST HES IS A GREAT COMEDIAN

  52. #52 - Annie says – reply to this

    Dustin is an absolute LEGEND in Ireland! His entry is a piss take because well the Eurovision has turned into a shamfest in the last few years!

    Dustin has entertained most kids here for their complete childhood!

    This shizz should totally win!

  53. #53 - Eurogirl says – reply to this

    Eurovision sucks im so ashamed of this stupid show .

  54. #54 - Tricia says – reply to this

    No european country wants to win the song contest because it costs too much money to have it in your country the next year! especially ireland! hence dustin, they won just too many times! i still think father ted should have thrown in his hat!!… poor serbia! how could they handle it??

  55. #55 - Laura says – reply to this

    IT'S DUSTIN!

    I LOVE YOU, DUSTIN.

    UK FTW.

  56. #56 - Nic says – reply to this

    this is irelands response to the entrys that have won in recent years…it is a joke, everone recognises that…dustin the turky is takin the piss….id love it if we won…or at least beat england

  57. #57 - Nik says – reply to this

    Hey Perez you should check Swedens entry this year, a really trannylicious babe called Charlotte Perrelli hwo won eurovision in 1999 i think.

  58. #58 - Neadaigh says – reply to this

    Awh man!! It's dustin the turkey!!! What a legend… even when he was on kids shows he was never clean!! I grew up with that dirty old puppet on the TV and I think he'll be the most entertaining in the Eurovision!!! Since when has it bee about talent anyways? Love it! Go on the Dustin!!!
    PLUS the whole point of sending Dustin is to show what a joke it is! Dur!!!

  59. #59 - Conor says – reply to this

    The Eurovision is a Europe thing. Americans behold glitzy camp flag waving accompanied by cringe worthy pop songs and a dance-along routine! Entertainment you know nothing of…

    [Lucky things.]

  60. #60 - HAHAHA REDICULOUS says – reply to this

    the spanish song was more catchy

  61. #61 - Dawn says – reply to this

    Em, I think the Eurovision has always been a bit tongue in cheek. That's the fun of it. It's a horrific song and everyone will probably laugh at it, but it's not like anyone takes it seriously - did you see last year's winners for crying out loud?? I say long live the Eurovision!!

  62. #62 - Seamus says – reply to this

    For the peeps saying it will win god we hope not. Ireland won in a row for a good few years and it eats up money… we're a small little country who had to do it all. since then i'm pretty sure they pick acts who they know won't win. And ahem yea England have received nul points themselves Lola… and we don't win coz the money it brings in doesn't make up for the money we've gotta spend.

  63. #63 - Lou says – reply to this

    Perez what u dont realise is that Dustin the turkey is an institution in Ireland he's presented children's telly here for years and years and is totally funny when you 6-9 yrs old!! i hope he wins!!!! the song is a piss take at the whole Eurovision as so many of the winners have been in the last few yrs!!! COME ON DUSTIN!!!!! IRLANDE DOUZE POINTS!!!!!

  64. #64 - Cli says – reply to this

    'Bec says: Terry Wogan is the only reason to watch eurovision.'

    Yeah, and he's Irish anyway, and awesome. We probably won't win, bloc voting in Eastern states. It's been a joke for longer than I've been alive.

  65. #65 - Marty says – reply to this

    Dustin is a legend in Ireland. If you understood what the Eurovision has become then you'd understand that this song has the best chance of winning then anything else Ireland has put forward in years.
    Ireland holds the most wins in the Eurovision ever but it's about time we kept up with the Jones in this competition. I've seen and heard worse than this is the contest!!
    Come on Ireland!!!

    No one in Ireland cares about the Eurovision, it became a joke a long time ago. Though I will be watching this year just to see the reactions to Dustin. :)

  81. #81 - Julie says – reply to this

    we may aswell have a laugh entering it !!!!
    go on ya good thing!!!!!

  86. #86 - Suz says – reply to this

    Thanks Perez for giving him a plug. With text-voting we need all the hype we can get. Go on you good thing (Dustin's catch phrase!) We love you in Ireland by the way. Wonder if his beak will cause as much controversy as Vanesa Paradis's teeth. American beaks are so much straighter etc. ;)

  87. #87 - MARY MOO says – reply to this

    DUSTINS A LEGEND HERE IN IRELAND!! IF U ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THE SONG UL NOTICE ITS A REALLY CATCHY SONG!! WE HAVE HIGH HOPES FO HIM! GO ON YA TALENTED TURKEY!!

    Re: OLIVA JONES HATES EUROVISON SONG CONTEST

    we don't hate it …its just we got kinda bored of it when we kept WINNING ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!

  89. #89 - Aoife says – reply to this

    Whoo ee. Dustin, he had his own album even, I can still sing along to a bunch of his songs. Dustin is a chakacha. Do you wanna be in my gang? and the cover version of Numb, don't be mean, and eat the coffee creams.

  90. #90 - lah says – reply to this

    It's so sad that Ireland probably will do well this year, while countries that tries to send great songs to ESC will get near the bottom.

    GO GREECE, SWEDEN, AZERBAIJAN AND SLOVENIA! :D

  91. #91 - eurorighteous says – reply to this

    Ever since europe expanded, the eurovision song contest has been ruined by block voting. It was ALWAYS about crap songs, and tacky dancing, it was ALWAYS about lack of taste and musicality..even Terry Wogan's tongue in cheek commentary (mentioned in the song no less..) is legen..wait for it..dary!!!

    I think that the 'old' european countries are putting in absolutely mind-blowingly awful eurovision songs to prove a point. Some new-european country will win because they only vote for each other..

    When the eurovision song contest gets political..we've just gotta stand up, sing badly, get over-tacky, over-sequinned and over-ostrichfeathered and sing reeeeeaaally outdated songs..WHO'S WITH ME?????

  92. #92 - fran says – reply to this

    I lnow ur American n everyfin Perez, but seriously this is propa OLD news u need to catch up a bit more mate.
    BTW u need to understand the origins of the puppet to get it!

  93. #93 - Lisa says – reply to this

    the eurovision has ALWAYS been a joke, dipshit.

  94. #94 - Cian says – reply to this

    Dustin is a legend….he has released many albums and has even ran in the irish presidential election before !!

  95. #95 - joanne says – reply to this

    Re: Annie
    that may have been the case 10 years ago when we hosted it three years in a row but for the past 5 or so years the entries have been genuinely trying to win

  96. #96 - Barbara says – reply to this

    That was hilarious! It made my day! :)

  97. #97 - Ciara says – reply to this

    fair enough this is chronic…but if you are anywhere from 18 to 20 odd you grew up with dustin and he is class when he does the flap flaps!!!

  98. #98 - Swedish girl says – reply to this

    I think it's sad that many countries make fun of the contest. It's suppost to be a real contest where the best singer with the best song wins. But, as you can see, countries make fun of the contest, and that makes the whole thing much tragic. If they're not serious, why do they compete?
    Ps. Go Charlotte Perelli, a woman who can really sing! Ds.

  99. #99 - cmmx says – reply to this

    dustin!
    LEGEND!!
