[esc87fan]

Can lightning strike twice for the Irish in Malmo? Let's wait and see!

 

[Nikoreindeer1973]

12 points.

This song really could finish anywhere in the final

 

[PeterLPZ]

But I don´t think, this is a winning song. I see it between 10th and 20th place.

 

[EurovisionSmile]

Sounded good and deserved getting through the final.

 

[PeterLPZ]

I was not so excited about his voice. But the men on the drums are very nice So good, to see them again

 

[cegs5]

I don't know if the "gay-appeal" of the drummers helped because last year Anggun's accrobats couldn't help (and they were much hotter)
I'm glad to see Ireland in the Final and so that they improve their live performance.

He sounded like a prick during the press conference-

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

He sounded like a prick during the press conference-

How?

 

[Narmina]

It's totally not my cup of tea, but congratulations and good luck in the final!

 

[debemaks]

I liked this song before and I like it very much after this nice performance on stage. In my personal top ten, but I don't think he will win!

 

[Knubelznarm]

I voted for this! I think he's gonna do very well on saturday...

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

The nation I shall be voting for on Saturday is Ireland... 12 points from the United Kingdom!

 

[A-lister]

I voted for this! I think he's gonna do very well on saturday...

This was about to get my 3rd vote, but I knew Sweden would vote for it so I spent my money on Moldova and Montenegro which I weren't too sure about would be getting Swedish support

We'll see in the final however

Oh dear....this qualified :shock:

Europe, please stop making Ireland qualify - you're letting RTÉ think they're doing a good job. A few terrible results will give them a kick in the backside to increase the quality of NFs...

But this time they DID a good job, this happens to be one of the best entries Ireland sent for years!

I think it deserved to qualify. Jedward 2011 as well...but yes, last year was just a bad joke!

 

[Zorjan]

I love the beginning of the song, but then it turns out to be rather blah-ish
Though I believe the performance to be a bit over the top (I can't really see the connection between this modern up-tempo song and the folk-ish drums and celtic signs..?) it's certainly easy to remember
A entry worthy of the spot in the final after all

 

[A-lister]

Agreed, Jedward 2011 was a catchy song, 2012 was just a bad disney-pop song though...

 

[LalehForWD]

Again I agree with A-lister regarding the Ryan song. With the fixed backing vocals this will probably get lots of votes in Sweden.
