Ireland IRELAND 2016 - Nicky Byrne - Sunlight

[John1]

This is a nice song, but it's really really bland. 3 minutes of generic old pop that will be forbidden 2 songs later... I'm disappointed...

forbidden ?
did you mean forgotten ?

 

[Alevender]

Btw is there a connection between and I don't get? gave 10 points in 2011, 7 points in 2012, 1 point in 2012 and 7 points in 2015! This looks quite strange to me?!

I guess it is because thousands of latvians and lithuanians are living in Ireland.

 

[JamieBrown]

One minute is enough to know everything about that entry. Not really bad, neither good. Actually this is full of all the clichés of this genre, especially looking at the lyrics.

 

[theCONWEL]

I really really like it! really catchy and a powerful chorus xwoo

I absolutely love the tone he has to his voice, so I just hope he can deliver live.

 

[Alevender]

Well, the song is not bad. I like it and I hope that it will reach the grand final.

Tons of Lithuanians in Ireland.

Regarding this years Irish entry, I kinda like the song, but I think it has some dynamics problems. There just doesn't seem to be a climax. The whole song is at the same level.

 

[popavapeur]

Not a winner but still a great song, Final for sure for Ireland.

[Nikkita]

Good but predictable. At least it's uptempo, a great start

 

[muc]

More or less the sort of song I was expecting. It will probably get a good score if he can deliver a good performance. I just wish we had been able to get a different Westlife member because Nicky isn't great at singing.

 

[Nicfedy]

So you had no idea who Nicky Byrne was?

Well no and I still don't. I've heard of Westlife but kind of switched my ears off if they came on the radio.

 

[realist]

The song itself is not bad, but to be honest.. No time for Ireland to win esc 2016 yet...
I really wanted to Ireland or UK to win ESC2016...

 

[Johnny992]

Well done, Ireland! Great song

 

[hugh]

Perfect background music, generic, bland, safe and Nicky Byrne has ZERO charisma. Don't like this song one bit. I want to support Ireland but they're almost as bad as the UK at their Eurovision entries now.

Honey, Irish songs are masterpieces for the UK ones........

Agreed. Ireland have had some stinkers, but UK is almost constantly bad. It'll take several good songs to make up just for Electro Velvet alone. Ireland are still apologizing for inflicting Jedward though.

 

[hugh]

So true, I've cringed too many times at the UK entries in recent years. I just hope the BBC give me a break this year.

 

[GRE]

This esc season didn't start well for me.
0/2 up to now, and i don't like the belarussian songs and most of Finland's also.

Tons of Lithuanians in Ireland.

Really?? Why are there so much Lithuanians in Ireland?

After a few listenings, I really like Nicky's song! I think it's a good sign that he seems to focus on a proper staging and a good promotion...
