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

[ESCPOLAND]

12 points from Poland to lovely Ireland First time since 2003 I love irish song!

WOW Now Ireland is my favourite to win! Kasey Smith is the sexiest irish girl

I see you missed a lot in the last couple of weeks. :'D

Nope, didn't miss anything. Italy is the only song I like that was going to Copenhagen before tonight, but this song blows away everything so far. Hungary have a good song that really isn't my type of music, and Poland's song is complete trash.

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.

Of course!

Either way, just because they share an instrument doesn't mean they're similar.

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!

Yes the studio ruins it all really, including the quality of the song and the vocals, which I believe will be much better in Copenhagen!

@ DanielLuis

Hmm her vocals last year were bad, and I don't think it's due to studio, and this year she improved..but it needs a lot to be perfect and I'm afraid it will NEVER be perfect, it's not a 1st class singer TBH! We will see...

btw Jonas Gladnikoff team for Ireland for the 3rd time in ESC..

 

[Anthony Tesla]

Nice song. Not the best, but taking in count the low level this year is having, I'd like to see this being in a good position.

What is Can-linn actually?

 

[DanielLuis]

What is Can-linn actually?

I was thinking the same. If you search Can-Linn on google images the photos are of Kasey I guess she's the violinist?

 

[GRE]

I give it 8 points,
and i expect much better stage presentation in Copenhagen.

That's your number 1 now for 2014 If I followed your preferences correctly?

Yes.

 

[Mrm]

Yes.

GREAT, but in 2015 you will fall for "Pucaj pravo u srce".. and give it nth less than 12! It will be your ultimate fav!!

What is Can-linn actually?

Hazel said in an interview that Can-linn is a concept. So basically it's everything on stage that isn't Kasey. (The Irish music, dancing etc)

Can-Linn is derived from the irish Cana Linn (probably wrong spelling because I've only heard it not seen it) which means "Sing Together". Hazel said they went to a primary school and got the kids to come up with a name and they choose Can-Linn.

That's what she said in an interview, if you put Can Linn in Google translate it becomes "We Sing".

 

[Mrm]

Thanks for explanation @ Sabrewulf238!

Just Can Linn. And it means Sing with us.

4 points. Meh vocals and meh instrumentals. A very bland song that doesn't go anywhere.

 

[MrJadeEwen]

Ireland are gonna top 10 with this song!
