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

[IanP]

Better singer would make this more powerful, but eh
Okish dunno

Absolutely agree

This could be a good year for the British Isles

This is possibly the most offensive thing you've ever written.... Just for that I'm going to annoy you by quoting you and writing [MENTION=4371]Sean[/MENTION]

 

[Sean]

[MENTION=6816]doctormalisimo[/MENTION] still pretending not to be a Brit then?

[MENTION=4371]Sean[/MENTION] I feel like an honourary Brit over here...until the results of the Scottish referendum, at least.

Ok song, nothing more

I really like the irish ethnic elements of the song.

 

[CypriotGirl]

This is sooooo meh. The only good thing is the folk instruments in the background, that I think don't even fit with the rest song, and they sound like they try hard to rip off "Only Teardrops". I'll award it with 4 points, it's not as dreadful as other songs at least and it's listenable.

I'm not 100% negative towards this one, though, I think there is space for improvement, a revamped version might fix these problems because there are good elements in this one.

I agree. The folk instruments really raised my hopes up and then sadly this went down the typical Eurovision-dance-pop route and left me bland!

5 points, I'm a bit more generous

Please no revamp, this song is perfect as it is, and is (atm) the only song this year that I actually love.

 

[Sammy]

it's nice to listen to, but honestly, it lacks the something to make it a great song.... would have preferred the movie song. i like the catchy chorus it has.

 

[Jimmy20]

I don't like this entry. I find it to be to trashy... It's the easy way out trying to get to the top.

 

[makson]

I'm actually concerned this wont qualify now.
It's still a great song but I have a dreaded feeling it is going to be "overlooked" in the semi-final

Really? The quality of songs in SF2 is bad I think Ireland would have to try very hard to not to qualify.

 

[hijirio]

Some members here doubt its qualification?
I don't even take the possibility of it not winning into consideration.
It has everything a winning entry requires.
With a proper live performance and decent presentation, why not?

 

[GRE]

With a proper live performance and decent presentation, why not?

This is the problem.

 

[makson]

I just fear after qualifying for the last four years, our luck will run out

For me, this song has potential to win. 12 points.

 

[IanP]

The Ireland thread has been extremely quiet over the past few weeks. There's not much to say about this entry. After listening to all 37 songs it just blends into the background. It's not even stupid or silly enough to be memorable.

 

[Joni]

^ Yeah. It's an okay song in my opinion but on the other hand, "safe choices" like this annoy me; you can see that they are not taking any risks.
