    everyone knows eurovision is a joke - well maybe not the swedes - they take it very seriously - think they just love the cheesey type of pop, carola sucks! - urrgghh.
    countries tend to just vote for the countries near them (so that they can get the contest near them the next year), and never for which song is actually decent.

    It's been a joke for a long time!!
    Read a little more before you post shit! I like to read about the celebrities, but lately you just bash anything that isn't you! And, well i think you need to start there!

    Leé un poco mas, Perez, y por que no… unos adominales?

    Dustin is a legend…for those that dont know his character is based around a dublin builder (the dodgy type) imagine a lad in denim that burps and farts unashamedly and everytime he bends over you'd see the crack of his arse…he takes the piss out of politicians and anybody….kids love him cos he's kinda rude and funny adults love him for his digs everynow and then. he is a national treasure and for those that are ashamed, he is a talent how long is he on the scene and still people of all ages love him….gone are the days of him and gaybo slagging on the late late show…as i said pure legend!!!! Love ya Perez by the way!

    lol the eurovision is meant to be a joke and always has been - although we, thanks to Terry Wogan who just takes the piss, are one of the countries who don't take it seriously, the eurovision is soooo much fun! for Britain where people are very generally ulra sceptic and reserved and 'indie'lol it means that for one nite a year we can just join in with our european friends in a eurotrash fest!!

  7. Sean says – reply to this


    207

    C'MON DUSTIN! Win it for Ireland! This song is very tongue in cheek and it totally taking the piss out of what the Eurovision has become now-a-days!

    Dustin you are a legend!!!! (what if he wins…..)

    208

    eurovision has been a joke for years….and considering we (irish) are known for our humour i think it´s quite fitting

  9. binh says – reply to this


    209

    ok, this one is a joke…but have you heard the swedish song? you will LOVE it…it is kinda simple, the singer super-trannylicious - but i think it'll win…! :)

    211

    GO ON YA GOOD THING!!!! Dustin was like a father to me when I was a kid. His Eurovision entry is no joke compared to the fact that Dana, a previous Eurovision winner, ran for President! How is that even possible?! Maybe Dustin will run if he wins…

    213

    oy! leave dustin alone. hes a pure legend who tells it as he sees it and as for comments about the voice of dustin been phsyco ur such a dimebar. obviously ur not irish, dustin has done loads of charity work he even sang with bob geldof and made no 1 like all of his songs even with the late joe dolan so all i can say is GO ON YA GOOD THING!!!! U WILL DO US PROUD DUSTIN

  14. bernie says – reply to this


    214

    That is the whole point. We are sick of the voting system in the eurovision and so we are sending a turkey to show how crap the show has gone. I am Irish and I love it. I think it is so funny and I bet it will be the most watched entry.

  15. Micky says – reply to this


    215

    That song is so back-to-the-90's! Hahaha!
    Guys, you should all vote for Germany's NO ANGELS, the best girl group since the Spice Girls (just look for their brilliant songs "Daylight In Your Eyes", "There Must Be An Angels" (great Eurythmics cover), "Somethin' About Us", "Amaze Me" or the ESC Song "Disappear" on YouTube! You will love it!!)

    The Eurovision is a big joke and has been so for years…. they are sending that entry as a joke because nobody takes it sersiously (go on ya good thing Dustin)

  38. Jennifer says – reply to this


    238

    I'm from Ireland and I have to admit I'm all for Dustin, I mean come on, it shows that the Eurovision is becoming a joke and only certain countries will ever win, so why not go all out and take it as its meant to be……….a laugh!!! Anyway Dustin has sang with Bob Geldof, Ronnie Drew, The Saw Doctors, Chris de Burgh and featured on loads of other songs………if he's good enough for them I don't see what all the fuss is about!!!!

  39. up the déise says – reply to this


    239

    dustin is a legend in this country. if he does the flap-flaps on the eurovision stage i will wet myself. ireland have tried to be all serious in the last few years with the songs that we've chosen, except for last year when the song was absolutely chronic. block voting in all those former soviet countries is fucking us over so why not not have a laugh with dustin at this stage.

    BRING BACK JOHNNY LOGAN!!!!!!!
    HOLD ME NOW JOHNNY!!! HOLD ME NOW!!!!!

  40. Olivia says – reply to this


    240

    the eurovision is a joke that is why we put in a puppet so we can all have a good laugh when we win….to show exactly how bad the eurovision is

  41. Kate says – reply to this


    241

    Why try find the song that will win, and fail, when you can take the piss out of the whole event?
    It just proves that we Irish have the best sense of humour!

    Everyone wishes they were Irish so why don't yis just pull that pole out of yer arse and vote for Dustin!

  42. Z says – reply to this


    242

    of course its a joke! So many EU countries dont take eurovision seriously! I dont - tho my country does *sigh* ! but Ireland just make fun of the totally pointless contest, and DUSTIN RULES!

  43. Ally says – reply to this


    243

    NOTHING beats Silvía Nótt from 2006. She slapped a reporter on Greek TV then called the woman competing from Holland a "Slapper" and the woman from Sweden and "old bitch"
    and that phone conversation with GOD in her song…. brilliant
    and yeah i thought you all knew perez tries to be eurotrash. So no one else in america really knows what eurovision is.

    249

    Oh - I see you already discovered it ;) Yes, that's the horrible entry I was talking about. I you wanna post more horrors from what once was a great contest I'd recommend the Estonian, Latvian and Swedish entries : bad clowns, bad pirates and a botox barbie reject - disgusting.

    252

    as a genuine irish person, let me say that it's really an inside thing, so god knows why were putting it all over the world! but think about it, eurovision is bad because any band that is good is NOT gonna go on eurovision…. I think we're doomed….

    Re: Aoife – The UK take it as a joke because they pump tons of money into it every year, and because of that, they never have to go through semi-finals, even though they've been in the bottom 5 every year for the last few years now!!

    I'm from Europe (Germany) and I saw this stupid turkey in the newspaper. It' so
    embarrassing for the show. I guess it's the most famous show in Europe and in the last years the show became a fake! All the countries in the east vote for each other so the countries in the west, that take this competition serious, don't have any chance to win this. I hope Germany wins (not because I live there) I just think the band which represents Germany is very very good and talented!

  79. Caroline says – reply to this


    279

    Hi Perez, My name is Caroline and I am Irish. The turkeys name is Dustin and he started out on a kids show in Ireland, he is a sort of comedian and is well know and loved by the Irish people. I dont think Ireland wants to win the Eurovision as we have won it many times before and Dustin the turkey is doing this as a joke. Believe it or not it he has done songs before but for charity.

  80. ConnorC says – reply to this


    280

    Many of us grew up with dustin on RTE. The eurovision has, and always will be a joke, and this is Ireland's only chance at regaining it's former record glory of 7 WINS! Who can match that?

  81. Shell says – reply to this


    281

    YAY! DUSTINS ON PEREZ! HE HAS MADE IT!
    He is a huge star on kid's tv here in Ireland. As a nation us Irish have always taken the Eurovision very seriously and have had very little success in recent years so why should'nt we have a little fun this time around? :-)

    The Eurovision has always been a joke! I'm just thankful that we've finally stopped taking it seriously. Maybe you didn't know this, but Finland won with a band made up of Orcs.

    Something makes me think that Dustin's going to win.
