Take note, Aengus.

Basically, everyone was loving this return to classic Eurovision form

#MNE is now my new favourite. I like the part where he whipped his hair back and forth. #Eurovision

It’s an absolute travesty that he didn’t get through to the final. A TRAVESTY. But thanks for your service.
