Ireland IRELAND 2014 - Can-linn feat. Kasey Smith - Heartbeat

[DanielLuis]

And Ireland made the right decision! I think they're almost surely going to qualify to the final, and I think they cand end up high in it!

 

[GlamSIMorous]

Just stayed up so long. I shook, I was extremely nervous and I nearly cried when she won. Even if there was drama, fails and stuff xD I dont care !!! ITS CASEY WITH HEARTBEAT !! Now I can go to bed smiling through the night. What a wonderful result !!! 12 POINTS !!!

I'm sorry Poland, but I have a new #1

Yeah I know, TiSLAYna Dapcevic!

 

[GWTW1939]

Sounds like "Only Teardrops" xshifty

Although I don't see the jury or televoters going crazy for it I think it has a good chance to sneak into the final. Getting out of the bottom 10 of the final though is a completely different question

I can see it being a major OGAE fanwank though

Best song won, it's kinda nice. 5 pts

 

[QwaarJet]

12 points and straight to the top of my list. Finally we have our first great song at this year's contest.

I don't vote in the poll, till I find and watch NF performance!!

What I think would work best performance-wise for this song is something between Denmark 2013 and Armenia 2008. Kasey needs to dance a bit more, we'll need either fire or sparks or confetti, and we need to lose the dancers. Then I think we could pull off an amazing performance. This song is a sample of the pure unadulterated Irish energy and sheer passion, the performance needs to reflect that absolutely.

Best song won. Amazing song, probably my second favourite now. 12pt

 

[DannyDS]

I AM JUST SO OMG

 

[muc]

Were those guys even dancers? It seemed like they just picked up some randomers at a bus stop.

I don't really see the similarities

I think Ireland have a very good chance of a top five finish. Based on previous years the Irish will pimp this up massively before Copenhagen. If they can make Jedward look anything other than abysmal they can do a lot with this.
Oh and Linda Martin is a sour faced xenophobic nutcase.

Just came in here to check the results. I havent followed the irish selection at all this year. But listening to Heartbeat is a VERY pleasant surprise! I like this!
I might even concider giving it a 7. Which would be the highest mark I have given so far in 2014 (I will wait till tomorrow, though. It might be the redwine that makes this a good entry tonight).

 

[ZoboCamel]

I don't really see the similarities

I'm assuming people are seeing similarities in the fact that Only Teardrops uses ostensibly Irish flutes and drumming. That said, you can't exactly fault the Irish for using Irish instruments, so I doubt it'll be a problem.

Have just watched performance from the NF!

Hmmm...vocals are decent, I was afraid for that part...but it's OK..and I like she is performing this as ballad ans not as uptempo..it makes it special somehow!

I also like idea for dancers, but they need better ones, Ireland always improves for ESC because studio for late late show is too small for any decent performance and it always looks quite bad when performed in that studio..

Considering live vocals I shouldn't give 10/10 cause she is not perfect, but as i gave 10/10 to Poland and I haven't heard her live performance (well I heard but with prerecorded backings which did the best job) I have to give to Ireland the same mark for now..10/10, but hmmm..smth is missing, let's give 9,5/10 for now and second place at my list, and later who knows, it's a long journey to Copenhagen!

Good luck Emerald Isle! Would like to visit that country so much!
