The only ones I enjoy are Wild and Too Good For Your Love.

 

A revamp of Connolly might be ok but I dont like it at the moment.

This is a really weak selection. I don’t see any of them troubling the final.

Hopefully some of them have a good performance coming up that will help add to the song.

Nowhere nearly as weak as last year

At least we have Brooke last year

And how did that go :kink:

She got ROBBED!!!!

She got ROBBED!!!!

 

She really did tbh. It’s still one of the better songs from last year!

She did as well as she could with that song it - it was still weak. Wild and Too Good for Your Love are far better, in my opinion.

Wild Youth will represent Ireland!

Damn, Connolly was close, that would have been far better. And I still maintain that 'Hawaii' had the best chance to actually do well at the contest.

 

basic stadium rock will be okay though, just okay

Connolly was ROBBED

That may be the worst nation selection I have ever witnessed. The first three acts were terrible. While I don't like Connolly's song at all, it would have been nice to watch the journey that she would take for the next 3 months and it may have been something special in Liverpool.

 

I dislike We Are One.

Ten years ago this would have been a pretty competitive entry but I think this is very likely to be outclassed in the first semi.

This is the sort of vapid rubbish I expect from Denmark (not that Ireland is much better either). I don’t think the public will vote for something that they would never actively seek out.

This was my favourite in the selection. Pretty generic, but I think it's a song that will sound better in a big arena so I don't think they're totally without chance of making the final (in the smaller semi-final too).

I like the song i have to say, the chorus easily stayed in my head, not sure at all how it will go at eurovsion but think it will come accross well on a big stage.

Good to see this charting in the Irish top 100 this week, good to see some interest in the song here.

Nice big song that will work well on the big stage but can’t see it doing well overall
