Ireland IRELAND 2023 - Wild Youth - We Are One

[ESC United Mod Team]

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

I think the song sounds a bit like a rip off of U2 'Where the Streets have no name" (that was an absolutely brilliant song by the way).

Bad vocals in the rehearsal clip. Maybe they were holding back, Loreen surprisingly poor too - be better on the night maybe.

Cringing a little at the moment where he touches the floor and a hand appears

A lot of the acts had bad vocals in the clips. So I don't hold it against them. If we get closer to the event and they sound this absent, well, given how low people's expectations are it failing to Qualify is hardly a shock. I do feel it will come alive a lot more with a crowd singing along to it. But at least the lead singer isn't as, erm, 'noticeable' as they were the first time we saw them in their outfit.

I still can’t with that golden glitter suit. What on earth…

a) golden glitter suit is reserved for LOTL
I think if they don’t go with red they‘ll probably do sth in golden.

b) come on, you‘re not Prince!
This kind of music requires sth different. I feel no connection between the song and their performance which is a pity because honestly, the song isn’t too bad actually.

That golden outfit with glitters take my attention away from the song itself and I only remember how bad the outfit is. Very, very bad choice. Hopefully they will do what Destiny did and change it in the last minute to not a silver glittery outfit.

You didn´t miss much though.

The song is bad so taking attention from the song itself strikes me as a good thing!

I'm in love with this song all of a sudden.

Who knew Lithuania liked Irish Cheese

RTE's plans to include hypnotic messages to make people vote for it are working already! Lets hope it lasts until the contest and doesn't fizzle out in a couple of days time.

Getting no airplay in Ireland, as usual.

Actually I like the golden uniform aka ''Let punch them in the face with nostalgia after David Austin loosing the Oscar''.

It's the golden uniform that's made me see the song in a different light

 

[Milos-BC]

I think the song itself isn't that bad but it isn't competitive at all. Some chances for the final exist but I think they are rather slim.

3 points.

Conor's vocals aren't that great either.
I still don't know why David, their usual vocalist, has been moved to keyboards. Far better singer and better stage presence.

I think it's NQ tonight but I do wonder is there an audience for this sort of bland stadium pop and hence could it shock qualify. I hate The Script for example but they're extremely popular.

 

[Citelis]

I'm the only person in the forum who has that in personal top10 and still think is pretty much impossible to qualify

Yeah, but according to Wikpedia nowadays only in and , their last album only reached #92 in the German charts.

Their following single will be called "We Are Gone."

This really was uncomfortable to watch and listen to, a well desverved flop.

 

[Sammy]

Did the lead vocalist even sing or was that mostly playback? Anyway: though I like the song this was a very clear NQ. Lack of energy and foremost: stairs on the ESC stage seem to be cursed.
