What a surprise.

If there is justice in this world, then "Mercy" or "Mistaken" should qualify.

Mistaken FTW!

Jedward is not as good as last year, Lipstick was catchy and cheeky, this not so much.

Yeah, this year for me it sounds like Jedward have become a crappy boy band rather than a novelty act. And I agree that Mistaken is indeed for the win, but no way does it actually win the Irish NF.

Re: IRELAND 2012

Jedward are going to win, it'll take a miracle for them not to. But this song is a lot less catchy and instant than Lipstick.

Other than that I like the songs by the Mc's - McCool and McCaul.

Re: IRELAND 2012

Jedward song had absolutely no impact on me. I only remember I was left with the impression it was some bland song by an unknown American boy band. Donna's song is way better, not amazing, but great and is far more memorable, as well as catchier. Haven't heard the other 3 yet.

Re: IRELAND 2012

None of the songs are terrible bad but neither good enough to be memorable...I'm gonna say my favorite was "Language of Love", was the only one more or less interesting

Re: IRELAND 2012

I love Mistaken, it's very nice and Irish but I would have a) preferred it as Gaeilge and b) liked it a lot more spookier/creepier like Nocturne or The Voice than what it is
Mercy is class, coming from Donna McCaul. It's fantastic and I think it would do brilliant at the Eurovision, but it's obviously going to be defeated by Jedward.
Onto Jedward, it's ****, even by their standards. It's not got the raw energy as Lipstick and that's the only thing that swung it for them last year. They're going to win in Dublin but pull a Dustin in Baku.
The man singing on his own is awful, I'm not even going to comment on it.
The duet is awful too, I skipped into the middle of it and heard love shine a light and nearly killed myself cringing, it couldn't be more obvious they're trying some kind of Hallelujah/Love Shine a Light/Running Scared thing in a poppy way

Re: IRELAND 2012

Here I Am by Andrew Mann is my favourite. Sounds much better than the rest and could be really great live.

Don't like Language of Love at all, Mercy is weak too....shame since she has a really strong voice that's been wasted on such an uninteresting song. :(

I'd rank them:

1. Here I Am
2. Waterline
3. Mistaken
4. Mercy
5. Language of Love
