Linda Martin featuring Billy McGuinness "Paycheck"

An emotional ballad.

Billy
Remember the time (remember the time)
You were choosing a boyband and Eoghan came 10th (came 10th)
How could you betray me like this?
Niall tweeted, I thought you cared!

Linda
Oh be quiet, you odious little man
If I were you i'd watch me
I could easily storm off my chair
And show you how mad I can be.

Linda and Billy
Where
Did you get your paycheck from?
Was it from Louis?
Was it from me?
Where
Did you get your paycheck from?
You've rigged this for Eoghan

Linda
Paycheck, Paycheck

Billy
Paycheck, Paycheck

Her choreography is a Euphoria rip-off... xqueenbitch

And eyes routine is a Anmary (Latvia) rip-off... xqueenbitch

But she is allowed to do ANYTHING she wants, if not, the lyrics of her entries will become reality.. xqueenbitch

Then, who is the girl? Can-Linn or Kasey Smith? What a mess! :lol:

On Facebook, she's Kasey Leeann Smith. Maybe it's a combination...

Next year we won't have that problem, it will be obvious to everyone who is who:

Linda is female

Martin is male

Some Swede invaded the studio and started kicking off at the lack of Gaelic entries :?

You may have a cookie for that post.

Linda Martin has always been Ireland's favourite drag queen, now it is great to see the rest of Europe embrace Linda too:mrgreen:

Anyway, I'm delighted Heartbeat won. It was definitely the correct choice.
I think there is massive staging potential for it too. I want to see really dynamic lighting and that chorus is crying out for a pyrotechnic explosion! I'd prefer if more focus went into this rather than having the gimmicky dancers, who were far too distracting.

Only an average NF with an average winning song imo, so I gave "only" 6 points in the poll.
I mean, "Heartbeat" isn´t bad, but it doesn´t give me the special feeling I have while listening to a song I really like.

No but really, what happened??

Irish legend Linda Martin had a massive barmy with some man who was complaining about how the national selection wasn't a fair playing field (which is true, it wasn't). Linda Martin then stands up and walks over to this mentor in the audience who refused to be seated with the others and then Linda, boy does she give the man some lip. He wasn't used to speaking to a woman with brains.

Linda Martin for Ireland 2015!

Not a bad song, the only thing is I don't seem to get that wow factor from the song but I'm sure this song will grow on me over time.
