UK comedian Justin Lee Collins has launched his bid to represent Ireland at the Eurovision Song Contest in Oslo. On RTE's Late Late Show last night Justin said he has always been a fan of the conest and was very serious about entering Eurovision. A camera crew from UK TV Channel FIVE are currently recording his effort for a special documentary to be shown in the UK in 2010. Justin is best know as a co-presenter of the Channel 4 programme "The Sunday Night Project".
The song he will enter to be selected for the Irish National Final on March 5th is called 'All I Ever Want Is You' written by Ronan Keating - singer/songwriter from Boyzone and Paul Barry - songwriter who wrote 'Hero' for Enrique Iglesias and 'Believe' for Cher.
Will Ireland choose a comedian to represent them? Well they choose a turkey not so long ago! We'll wait until we hear the song before we give our verdict.

I thought they had yet to announce the finalists? I assume what you mean is that he/Ronan have entered a song to be considered?
Don't blame me for being hesitant. The whole "comedian" thing just doesn't sound right to me. But I will hold off on judging his attempt until we have more info.
