Ireland IRELAND 2015 - Molly Sterling – Playing With Numbers

[kamc]

I listened to the studio version of Playing with Numbers which IMO is way more pleasant than the live performance. It's not something I'd put anywhere near my Top 10 but maybe with a proper sound system, it'll be bearable. Friday's performance was just not doing it for me.

eh?! The studio and live versions are almost identical.

I don't think so. I thought the live performance sounded way different and less pleasant. It definitely has to do with the acoustic in the studio but to me it was a completely diffeent experience.

 

[bURN]

Boring!

 

[QwaarJet]

Hahaha it's just i like fresher song better, IMO the winning song is good, if you think it isn't good then fine

At no point did I ever say I didn't like. It was my second favourite and I'm happy it's going to Vienna. But I don't like it because it's "modern", I like it because it's a good song. Just like I liked Kat's.

The song won selection because of how good the live performance was. The acoustics are obviously bad in the chat studio, but the live performance brought the song to life.

Don't know what to tell you, I didn't like it. Her voice was off putting to me.

She needs to get rid of those back vocals. I agree that studio version sounds much better, I think it's about sound quality.

 

[Carrie]

This will finish 8-13th in the semi, dragged down by the public.

 

[Mlyn]

I am going to vote for it

Not a bad song, ok, but nothing special in my opinion. So I gave 5 points in the poll.

But I think Ireland can reach the final this year.

 

[Sammy]

If I compare Hungary and Ireland as two ballads, then Ireland is making a better impression on me. But I don't connect to either of them very much.

Bogie is so contrived though and peace anthems are so naff on the eurovision stage.
Molly is just an understated, class act.

 

[Nikkita]

The song starts as a usual ballad but as it goes, it grows on you. Molly has a different (in a good way) voice and the song is nice. I liked it a lot, i can't wait to see it on ESC stage.

 

[EvanESCIreland]

God, I can't believe we've sent this.

I was more confident in Dustin then I am with Playing With Numbers. I won't be surprised at all of we don't qualify.

This song is very good after all. Was listening to it unwares, half thinking " why isn't somebody bringing this beautiful thing to eurovision?" when I suddenly realised somebody already was .
Hadn't struck me as as good at first listening, it's definitely a grower. Happy to like it, as I usually dislike Irish entries

 

[Lordemort]

I must be the only one liking this 7 points so far

 

[ClassifiedCat]

This song is last in the odds...

 

[kamc]

I'm actually thinking this will qualify. It's sincere and authentic, and I think the jury will really enjoy it.

 

[Luki]

It's ok, bit boring but it is in my current top 10. 6 points

 

[EscGeek]

And we have it! My first grower of the year! This song is alright
