Love? (Donna and Joe song)

"Love?" was the Ireland's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005, performed in English by Donna and Joe.

History

It was the first Irish entry to be performed in a Eurovision semi-final. The song is an up-tempo duet with the brother-and-sister duo singing about the problems that love can cause. They explain, for example, that "Love can make you happy/Love can make you cry/Love can be the best/Until it's passed you by". The song was criticised by many fans for being a break from the traditional Irish ballad, as well as having a relatively repetitive structure.

The song was only ever performed in the semi-final. Ireland had not finished in the top ten at the previous Eurovision Song Contest, thus they were required to enter that year's semi-final. In the semi-final, it was the twenty-second performance (following Bulgaria's Kaffe with "Lorraine" and preceding Slovenia's Omar Naber with "Stop"). At the close of voting, Ireland's entry had received 53 points, placing 14th in a field of 25. Thus Ireland missed out on the final and were again required to qualify through the semi-final at their next Contest appearance.

Tennis scoring system

A tennis tournament is organized into matches between players (for singles tournaments) or teams of two players (for doubles tournaments). The matches of a tournament are grouped into rounds. In round 1, all players (or teams) are paired and play against each other in matches. The losers are said to leave, or be out. They no longer compete in the tournament (this is single elimination). The winners are again paired to play in the matches of the next round. The tournament continues until the quarterfinal round (having eight players or teams playing in pairs), then the semifinal round (having four players or teams playing in pairs), and finally the final round (having only two players or teams) are played. The winner of the final round is declared the winner of the entire tournament.

A tennis match is composed of points, games, and sets. A match is won when a player or a doubles team wins the majority of prescribed sets. Traditionally, matches are either a best of three sets or best of five sets format. The best of five set format is typically only played in the Men's singles or doubles matches at Majors and Davis Cup matches.
