I think if she can brush up on performing better and gets great staging it will help alot. She is a big Eurovision fan and not just doing it for the sake of it so I hope she can at least qualify as it's the best she can hope for as I cant see it doing great. Etcetera is miles better than this and that didnt qualify (although I really think it should have as I still think its a great song).

Et Cetera still bangs (and it's still played on nights out
 )but the staging was woeful, which is what I think stopped it from qualifying. If this has the right staging and she can pull off a great performance then I think it can do relatively well.

Ya it's still a banger, the staging wasnt bad but could have been better, hopefully they can nail the staging this year.

This is seriously growing on me. I had it 15-20 at one stage. Top 10 now, I think.

I think it would have qualified if eurovision had gone ahead.

I really think it would have struggled to compete against the other songs in semi-1.
If it had qualified then someone from Australia, Ukraine or Israel (my borderline predictions) would have had to have lost their place. Maybe Ukraine might have been a shock non-qualifier. The other 7 were dead certs - Norway, Russia, Sweden, Malta, Lithuania, Azerbaijan and Romania. |

I dont see the appeal of the swedish song at all, I thought our song was better but I suppose we dont have to worry about qualification now

Oh, I enjoy Story of My Life more than I enjoy many of those songs. But qualifying was going to be difficult with the buzz surrounding all those other songs.

I had a hope that this would have qualified - best song from Ireland for a few years

QUOTE(Colm @ May 12 2020, 10:57 PM)  I really think it would have struggled to compete against the other songs in semi-1. If it had qualified then someone from Australia, Ukraine or Israel (my borderline predictions) would have had to have lost their place. Maybe Ukraine might have been a shock non-qualifier. The other 7 were dead certs - Norway, Russia, Sweden, Malta, Lithuania, Azerbaijan and Romania. I don't think Romania was a dead cert at all, I think it was the likely 'shock' non-qualifier of the semi. A lot of people (myself included) find the wording/pun of the title very off-putting and personally I didn't like the song before but the re-vamp made it even worse and I thought it was generally agreed that the re-vamp ruins it a bit. I think Ireland would've struggled too, wouldn't have ruled them out (especially if there was some good staging planned as teased) but I don't think it was a great running order for them being sandwich between two fan faves in Lithuania and Russia  But they could've taken the place of Australia which swiftly dropped down my rankings as more and more songs were confirmed - I don't think I've seen anyone have anything good to say about the clown performance in 'Australia Decides' so unless that was going to be massively overhauled..

Yeah I agree, Romania really felt like the shock DNQ last night. It literally had little to no impact on that running order and we were just scratching our heads about it. I don't see people voting for it at home.
Had massive "qualifier vibes" from Sweden, Australia, Lithuania, Russia, Malta, Azerbaijan, Norway, Israel and Ukraine as those really stood out among the rest. On the grey area I had Ireland and Cyprus which the latter would lose out (but I still think their staging would've given them a lifeline). Romania would follow in 12th. Last place wise, I thought Croatia was a little lost in the middle there however as there are a few former Yugoslav republics in this Semi-Final, last place would've probably been Belgium. **looks at thread title** Long story short, I agree that Ireland would've made it by a whisker. |

I really dislike the word-play in Romana's song but it has so many fans that I would have thought it was a cert. Perhaps I was wrong.
Australia would have improved their staging and I think it would have gone through. Maybe Ireland might have surprised. It might just have connected with a demographic of the viewers that had not been anticipated and managed to get enough votes. |

The staging would have key and they had teased that some great staging was coming.

Ireland screamed 10th place in the semi last night, which I would not have been mad at!

Having watched the home video Lesley did I now think there was no chance of qualifying. She seems not to be able to sing the song live.

Interesting to see what style of song she will go for next time round.
