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

[theditz83]

Emmelie de Forrest was waaayyyy more irritating a vocalist than Kasey. I really hope this song doesn't suffer from the curse of "unfounded copy-cat witchhunt" syndrome this year.

I know you meant it, I just haven't seen anyone say that about this year's selection so far. Most of have said It's crap.

I think it's 2012 and especially 2013 that were crap. This year has got a few charming and different songs imo.

 

[RainyWoods]

What the hell did I miss last night!? I've just been watching all the argument video's uploaded to youtube. "You are an odious little man"

 

[QwaarJet]

Well here's another; this year has had one of the best starts I can remember

Considering your past history, I'll take that as proof of my point

 

[muc]

The dramatized version of the drama.

THIS IS PRICELESS.

That was amazing.

2012 was far from crap.

 

[bashers]

I think this song has amazing potential to do well. For me it's typical ESC! She has a decent voice and with a better staging with explosive lighting etc...it could do very very well.

 

[Iuris]

Nice song, but I preferred Eoghan, Andrew or Laura. Anyway, I'm not upset at all because the song is growing in me little by little. It's catchy and I remembered the chorus when I had listened the song once...

For me, the best of 'Heartbeat' is the music, the instruments...

 

[Knubelznarm]

2012 was far from crap.

You're right it wasn't crap, but I thought it was very unimpressing. There's a reason Loreen was such a runaway winner.

I can't remember the last time an Irish entry got this much favourable responses from the European audience just after the NF. Quite delighted and proud tbh! Also I wouldn't worry too much about the staging, I mean they had a little tiny corner of a medium-sized studio to perform in, they obviously can't pull off anything worthy of the Eurovision stage there, at least with a song with as much energy as Heartbeat.

 

[Celia]

Damn now I regret not watching the Eurosong 2 as a Spaniard I'm proud of the Irish tv for being able to create such drama 333

MAKE WAY FOR DA QUEEN OF SASS

Is it just me or is the other woman at the end shaking her head xshifty

The way she's sitting and the look on her face its like she's saying "God this is so sad.... so sad"

hahahaha, Maia's like oh ffs, remind me why I did this again!

 

[GWTW1939]

Also was anyone else getting Dina Lohan vibes from Linda

 

[Nicfedy]

So many 12s, but just 4 from me. It's like a mixture of last years effort and Only Teardrops

 

[bashers]

^^ That's not such a bad thing LOL

 

[LakZaNokte]

actually, not bad.

from everything we have this year so far, it's in my top 5 for sure

7 for now (maybe i change it later)

 

[Smudy]

This is starting to grow big time.

 

[Magizian]

I was out with friends, so I didn't catch the Irish NF. For now it's a 12.

Might lower the score - depends whether or not they can perform live.

 

[VikingTiger]

Hmmm, I actually have been going around humming "heartbeat" while painting the walls of my appartment today... a good sign! This can do really well in Copenhagen!
But as has been pointed out here in the forum, I would also like a short instrumental part in the song. I am sure that could work really well!
