Oh now! The worst song won. The girl is annoying, the song is forgettable. Ireland is out of my top10 and I don't think it will qualify to the final in May. 2 points for now.

It's not bad and more true to Ireland's individual style of entry, 7 pts. Only gripe is I just listened to Anybody got a shoulder and it screamed out winner, record points, Ireland 2016, unfortunately the one they chose doesn't.

I don't get the hate about this. She was the best yesterday! I think that she is a very sweet girl and that she will get noticed in Vienna. She's Ireland's best chance to qualify.

She wasn't robbed, her vocals were terrible.

Most of the hate is from bitter Erika fans.

Not very enthusiastically, I'd say the best song won.
Watching it yesterday, I wasn't really rooting for none of them. If pressed, I would have picked Erica because it was sort of catchy. The shoulder thing was dreadful, the "power" ballad was all about screaming and no melody and the rap didn't exist.

After all, this song is interesting and better than anything else on offer. What I don't like is the girl's voice. How could they go on and on about how amazing she was, just because she was only 16? Her voice's awfully unpleasant :|

Interesting how opinions differ, I think her voice is one of my favourite things about this entry! I just love her tone :D

I wouldn't describe it as awful, but you're right. If there is something in the song that turns me down it's that whining tone in Molly's voice. She should do something about it until May, the song isn't a guaranteed qualifier anyway.

The song is not that bad, but I think it is bit forgettable ;(

I really like this song. Perhaps it's because I really adore classic Irish ballads, but this song is really wonderful. I think it is really emotional + I love the color of her voice and the way she performs it.

So far, my #2 favorite, right after Italy. I think many people are still bitter because their faves didn't win, and that is why the comments are like they are atm. I am sure that the situation will be different when some time passes :) Just like it was the case with "Dancing in the rain" last year.

From my perspective the best song won, and I think it has a huge potential in Vienna.

10 points.

I really don't understand why most people on this forum don't like this song. The song is about the first balled so far with some real raw emotion in it. I think it is a very good piece of music.

I think this is the same scenario as with :dk: Peoples favourite song didn't win (In this case "Memories" and "Break me Up"), so people will immediately call this song boring without even listening to it decently. At first I didn't think much of the song either, but 2 or 3 listens later you can really recognize this as a good song and it really deserved to win the most.

1. "She so Fine" was doomed from the beginning, had no support and the live performance didn't change anything about that.
2. "Memories" was the ultimate eurvision fanwank of this national selection. Seems to me that the only way to please the eurovision diehard fans is to put some kind of diva on stage who screams on the the top of her lungs (are you hearing this :mt: :ge: :ch: :rs:). That being said, I did think it was a decent song in studio version, but it bombed live.
3. "Anybody got a Shoulder?" Everthing that Mollys song is being accused of fits way better as criticism to this song. It's boring, too slow, no emotion, cliché and very very outdated.
4. "Break Me Up" The favorite for the most and me too at the beginning. But after a couple of listens I started to like Molly's song more. This song kind of feels like their entry of 2014 version 2.0. and we all know how that went. I still like the song, but there is almost nothing Irish about this song.

So all in all I have to conclude that the best song won, and it will probably be in my top 3 for now. People need to understand that just because your favourite didn't win, this song is immediately bad or not good enough. The best of Luck :ie:, I'll be rooting for you! ;)
