Did Casey actually attend any of these Eurovision events? Seems like she's been hibernating for 3 months

Kasey & her team do not have enough finances to be promoting her song around Europe.

Most of eurofans predict Ireland to make it to the top-10. In my opinion if Kasey qualify to final it will be success for Ireland. Kasey is cold and unemotional, song is Only Teardrops vol.2 with Irish folk elements. I can't see anything special in Irish representative this year. I predict 20-26 place in final.

I must say i have kind of lost interest in Heartbeat during the past few weeks. Wasn't this one of my top favourites? I think i need to put it further down my list. I am curious whether Ireland manages to recapture me with their live performance in cph.

My problem is still with Kasey. She has the stage presence of a walnut.

And yet she's your number 1? Austria dropped like a brick for me from 2nd place in my ranking when I realised that Conchita has the live voice of someone (incredibly glamorous and wonderful) straining a poo.
The problem with Kasey for me is that she actually has the voice of a dalek. I can't feel any emotions. I agree with RomanFromRussia with that she has a cold voice and also with you, that she has the presence of a walnut. A pretty walnut, i'd probably eat the walnut but i'd forget about it afterwards because this walnut has a dull texture (song).

I can see this being very weak live, on a huge stage. Shame, because it's a catchy song.

The studio version is amazing, but I'm not a fan of Kasey live. Hopefully she proves me wrong.

Well I shall hope so, for you and our dear neighbours. I think we have the better song though.
Ireland’s rehearsal started with a technical hiccup, no music for several minutes. Eventually they’ll get the party started. The lead singer is dressed in a beautiful golden dress taking the Center Stage. Two backup singers are to her left and a violin player to the right. There are also two dancers who are wearing something that looks to me a bit like gladiator outfits but since they’re doing the Irish riverdance (ish) dance I am assuming they’re traditional outfits.
Overall the entire Stage is very bright and golden giving it a classy look.
Either the music appears to be really loud or her microphone too low, either way the first run through seemed to have several technical glitches.
Matt: She looks gorgeous however I do not see the connection between the staging and the song. It really feels like she’s relying on her beauty to impress. For some reason it is falling flat for me. But knowing this music is quite popular I expect her to qualify, vocally it was solid.
Ahmet: The Stage is too golden, it looks boring. There needs to be some contrast, otherwise the singer is getting lost on Stage. The camera work wasn’t that great and too far out, they also need to work on the angels. I could barely hear her, that needs to get fixed.

Yes, she had four run through and none of them were really exciting. There was ZERO response over here

Oh noes, I am so upset. The whole staging was awful. The background is not even colourful, it looks like dirt :O Why did they choose golden? Its not a James Bond song, its a powerful song in which I saw a waterfall, maybe some green lights and stuff ... I am so sad right now

Everything about that performance was terrible. The Irish need delegation need to get their finger out their arses and get this right. Kasey needs to stop failing vocally.
