ÉIRE - Ireland 2010 - Niamh Kavanagh - It's for You

So...what a change, return to the winning songs back in the 90's. That's really a change? :shock:

congrats ParadiseES on the 10.000 post in the ESC forum

Back to topic. I think that Niamh has a really good voice that is going to touch people and will be remembered which is really important. And it's not a bad song. I wouldn't say it's 90's music.

But at the same time I don't see this as a winner, either.

I really like it, and I hope that juries all over Europe will know how to appreciate such a good song. Unfortunately, it's not a winner. :|

People assume it is soley a song contest and don't realise singing ability is just as important.

It is one reason why some countries have had crap entries recently.

Spot on. I really hope that European audience will love it as much as I do.

PS Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Duit!!!

Well, my impression is that people don't really take into account the name of the contest and a lot of times bland dull songs score better because of amazing performers.

The name of the contest is Eurovision Song Contest.

Exactly what I said, LOL! IMO, better songs should score better, not depending on the vocals. That isn't really the case, however.

Sorry, I misunderstood you post.

If someone sings an amazing song out of tune or in a poor way should it still do well.

Singing and songs go hand in hand.

And I don't think good singers have done well with bland songs, look at Chiara last year.

God help me, I am in love with Irish accent.

Last time the Eurovision Song Contest was held in Norway, Ireland was the winner. Let's hope that the history will repreat itself.

 

[94ayd]

It could be Belgium, as well (1986). It would be cool as long as it's a country that usually doesn't have a lot of chances.

my favorite now

Niamh will take part in the special Eurovision concert in Belgium!

FFS they aren't in our semi either :roll: :roll:

The song is simple and pure. I think that's exactly what they were aiming for. It comes as a refreshment after all those performances trying to sweep us off our feet by pulling out ''impossible'' on stage (getting out of the giant book, changing 5 times on stage, walking on water or being blown away by a storm etc.)
If it reaches a good placing in May it will prove to us all that not everything is lost when it comes to quality and good taste! Good luck, Niamh!
