While i never liked the song or am i big fan of his voice i think he performed well, i dont think he could have given it anymore, its just the song itself was awful. Ireland have tried a few different ways to select the entries the last few years but have got it wrong with song choices. It will be interesting to see how RTE will approach it in 2018.

Country/folk has a great track record in Eurovision in recent years mainly thanks to The Netherlands (Common Linnets, Douwe Bob) but also the likes of Firelight (Malta 2014), Naviband (Belarus 2017) and at a push Monika & Vaidas (Lithuania 2015). All of these made the final and I'm under the impression Ireland is a fan of this type of music from my limited knowledge of their industry (): Niall Horan, Una Healy, Nathan Carter. Didn't HomeTown themselves even have a couple of guitar-led/folky type singles? This is the avenue I want Ireland to go down, I think Brendan would suit this type of song and surely Una would be up for it all too after her album didn't scale too higher heights.

It astounds me that anyone thought this would do anything at Eurovision!!
