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

[Mrm]

@ RainyWoods

Could you hear all those screams in Helsinki Arena while Linda Martin was telling the votes to Europe? It wasn't for Lithuanian 12 or Latvian 10 for sure, I'm 101 % sure, it was for seeing that walking LEGEND Linda Martin on the screen live from Dublin!
I bet half of Arena almost collapsed of excitement at that moment! I surely did at my home watching that voting in 2007 ,when I suddenly saw that legendary face!! Just ask my parents how afraid they were when I fell on the floor suddenly!
Who wouldn't?

I remember similar circumstances to yours back in 2007 when the paramedics had to be called to my house as Ireland gave their points at Eurovision. They weren't certain of the cause of my collapse at the time but today.. but today, I KNOW.. it was Linda Martin

She got man legs, sure she's not a contender of the new season of Ru Paul's Drag Race?

Somewhat off topic but here is the new single from Ryan Dolan. It is very different to his eurovision song.

This is so sad 1
Thank you for posting!

Wow. This video left me speechless. Such a strong message at the end!

About this year's song: I love it. It's classy and it has an Irish touch. And I also like the dancers. I think Ireland won't have any problem qualifying for the final.

This could be a good year for the British Isles

 

[makson]

Yes it's not often both Ireland and The UK send quality entries.
Both deserve to finish on the left-hand side of the board

 

[SRBIJA]

[4 points] not bad kinda boring and forgetable.

 

[Iuris]

Is it the clip?

 

[makson]

Is it the clip?

Yes, but now that it is our official entry, I'd like them to shoot a "proper" video if possible.

Anyway, I was thinking that the staging would work so much better if Kasey had two male backing singers instead of female. I think male voices would compliment her voice better and make the song sound even stronger.
Also, if she insists on keeping the dancers, she should get female ones styled similarly to herself. It would add a nice kind of symmetry.
Preferably I'd have no dancers at all though.

 

[Iuris]

^^ Thanks! Yes, they should work about the video.

And we both shall soak up every last ounce of that possible success this year.

I feel that Casey seems too preoccupied with looking pretty than actually feeling the emotion of the song, especially in that video.

Shoot a "proper" video? maybe you haven't see Anouk's (ESC 2013 The Netherlands) preview video.
