Ireland IRELAND 2023 - Wild Youth - We Are One

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[Smudy]

Literally expected 5 and 6 to be the most voted after i heard this and i almost got it spot on.

[Sammy]

I really love this! Call it dated, I call it vintage!

 

[Codeword Iroquois]

Yeah, this is probably my favorite so far...

 

[Iker]

It's not dead-on-arrival, at least, but it really drags on towards the end. For me, it's the definition of an inoffensive song that you give points.

I give it 2. That uninspiring melody of the chorus and the ending with no fanfare, highlight at all makes it particularly lame. The lyrics are bad too.

Not my kind of (soft?) rock track. It sounds slightly like a football anthem or sth.

 

[Ana Raquel]

Ireland never disappoints!





















as my least favorite esc country.

 

[goncalovieira]

It is fine. It is an opening song for SF1

 

[Synergise]

Well, I won't care in the morning, but I really just want to see Ireland do well, and I can't see them being anywhere near close to qualifying with this, given that the odds were already against Ireland with the semi draw. In my mind, they had one act with bags of potential, and they've not selected it.

Maybe next year Ireland. And please, please, ditch this format. The only successful act to come out of it in the past 15 years is Jedward.

I don't think it's chanceless, honestly?

it is the type of song that has an obvious audience. The question is: is the audience strong enough for a qualification? Ten years ago, perhaps (I mean, 2011 was top 5 and it had pretty much the same target audience as this - and I personally think it is even worse dfkjldfskjldfskjl) but I don't know now.


Right now, I do hope it is a NQ just because when Ireland sent something I actually liked (Brooke last year) it NQed and I don't want them to NQ with something I dislike!!!!! But then again, Ryan is near my bottom of 2018 and he qualified so.............................

This is the kind of song the 2016 interval act was mocking

 

[Datura]

i just watched the recap what the f was that. ireland definitely made the right choice, it was the only decent song and performance everything else was excrutiatingly bad. even connolly which was the only song that was basically alright in the studio version.
everything else: the horror

A bunch of clichés (musical and lyrical) strung together into a song. It's the same principle as Blanca in Spain rly: it could trick enough people into believing it's worth something, but it's a hell of a bluff.

It's better than Ukraine and Albania, but it's still in the poll. My *third* Five. (Good lord is Gustaph STILL the only act in this esc so far that I like???)

Hopefully Saturday night's yields are a bit better.

 

[lasse braun]

already 2 U2 fans in this thread.

 

[Mainshow]

"Most generic song" - yes

but it was also the only good performance...

fans should be lucky that there were people voting for Wild Youth 100 times.

We Are One (of the NQs)

Good news for Denmark - in the internal 'old members of EBU not qualifying for the final' battle. There has been some tough rivalry going on there between Denmark and Ireland in recent years.
