Ireland IRELAND 2023 - Wild Youth - We Are One

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[HarryUK]

It was about as euphoric as Spain 2017

 

[MopManMoss]

I enjoy midnight summer night its clearly the best song of the NF but she said that the version we heard was just the demo and that it would be different at eurosong and its barely any different, it would have hard time in semi 1 but absolutely the best chance to qualify

 

[Sabrewulf238]

It definitely wasn't perfect but considering where we're at I'll take it.

 

[Mainshow]

"euphoric", "incredible", "I was impressed by this!"

"I am really proud to be Irish now!" "Billie Eilish, Lana Del Rey!" "someone that could go global" - "Kate Bush!"

"her vocals were on pitch!" (soprano singer about vocals in the Irish NF)
"brilliant!"
"wonderful! All the songs tonight are great!!!"

 

[HarryUK]

I know they did not just compare her to Kate Bush

 

[rasmuslights]

yeah, vocals weren't perfect but still the best one so far.

 

[LoveHate]

Set the bar low enough and everyone gets super excited.

 

[Leydan]

Can we just have a national jury who are honest and don't just blindly hype everything into an oblivion.

 

[HarryUK]

I often wonder if the Irish selection is like a comedy sketch. Are they watching the same thing we are?

 

[CPV4931]

Like Kate Bush singing Euphoria... of course

 

[Mainshow]

I know they did not just compare her to Kate Bush

and Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey!

 

[MooseShoes]

Should be the winner by default. It does sound Irish at least. Sadly, it also sounds like something I'd hear playing over stock footage on an insurance advert back in the 90s.

 

[Mainshow]

Please Wild Youth - save from getting points in the televoting!

 

[HarryUK]

and Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey!

Definitely elements of Céline Dion in there too

 

[Synergise]

I actually really enjoyed that. I'm glad Ireland at least have ONE option after three duds.

 

[MopManMoss]

This is the most cliche song of the entire season even more than Honestly

 

[HayashiM]

Ok, my money's on Wild Youth, they are soooo clearly winning this.

[HarryUK]

The temptation to spend 60 pence to send John Lydon to Eurovision is so there

 

[Mainshow]

This is the most cliche song of the entire season even more than Honestly

They went to Sweden to write a Eurovision song - That´s what you get.

It´s basic, generic, cliché but dunno, the only choice for to not finish dead last, imo.

But what did happen to the sound? Are there any issues with the lead singer´s mic? It seems that he´s hitting the notes at least but they sound somehow muted?!
sabotaging the first good vocals of the show

 

[Zeus]

Dissapointed, song lacks dynamics and isn't really interesting to me. I also thought it would be more mysterious or something, but it was pretty flat and lame. She sounded very nervous as well and doesn't really elevate it all.

It probably is still the best option, but not as decent as I thought.
