January 30, 20205 yr Author News on the artist & song is coming very soon, but this tweet from a theatre production group is getting people very excited.. @1222647330878431237 Ireland won the last Dutch hosted contest - do they have their heads in the game this time?
March 5, 20205 yr Ok this isn’t the worst. It’s a tad dated but I think it could, with the right staging, be a bit of a bop.
March 5, 20205 yr Author It is a bit “Et Cetera” and 2010 era Katy Perry kinda vibes so agree with a bit dated, but I love that kind of music so I’m well on board!
March 5, 20205 yr I really like it, it's very late 00s but that's an undeniable chorus. I reckon an easy finalist for Ireland and a mid-table finish in the final, as this type of power pop isn't usually a recipe for a major Eurovision smash.
March 5, 20205 yr It's definitely dated but in the best way, I mean ofc 2010 Katy Perry kind of vibes is one of the best vibes you can pull off! I'm not sure it will do hugely well though as this kind of thing rarely does, but it's gonna be one of my faves of the year either way. The nostalgia will probably see it as a fan fave, I hope it works in the contest too, it will qualify anyway.
March 5, 20205 yr This really does seem like an unreleased Part Of Me era Katy Perry song and I love it but yeah this ain't doing much in RTM :(
March 5, 20205 yr I'm kinda getting a bit into Eurovision again so I listened to this straight away a few times. My friend was at my place and he said he thought I was listening to P!nk haha. It's a very catchy song - I can't see myself being drawn back into it much but I guess most songs in ESC only really need to work in the moment (I forget about most of them later :kink:). I do have a few that I've stuck with over the years tho. My friend said something like it's generic but at least it's sort of good, rather than generic and crap which Ireland has often been :P
March 5, 20205 yr That’s a name I haven’t heard in a while! It’s very 2009, I think this hits me a lot more because it just gives me 8th grade me feels. Definitely one of the best things Ireland has put out in a while.
March 5, 20205 yr Im very divided on this, maybe after a few more listens i will like it more but it doeskin give me the feeling of we will do well this year.
March 6, 20205 yr 12 years later, I'm still bopping to I'm Gone, I'm Going. :cool: u3CxrnjX9ng Edited March 6, 20205 yr by Voodoo
March 7, 20205 yr xBL73Dsv3TY Ok - so there's room for improvement, to say the least. When she does belt it out, I think she does have the necessary power. She doesn't sound physically fit to sing the song. Edited March 7, 20205 yr by Colm
March 7, 20205 yr I'm now loving this and I'm not even sorry. Her LLS performance was PATCHY to say the least but she can hit the notes so it just needs lots of practice. Here's hoping the staging isn't a hot mess.
March 7, 20205 yr That live performance :blink: Also it sounds like a 2002 song rejected by Avril Lavigne for a b side - not here for Ireland this year and I usually LOVE their entries.
March 7, 20205 yr Well from what I remember of when Ireland used to have The Late Late Show as it's National Final, basically everything sounds bad on that show because the acoustics are terrible. So there's reason to believe that the actual final product in May will be a glow up from that.
