January 28, 20241 yr Ignoring which countries may pull out, it would be good for Ireland to have countries that send darker stuff in our semi - Iceland, Finland, Ukraine and Serbia
January 28, 20241 yr The song is grabbing some attention online, alot more than previous years although reaction in ireland seems very mixed with some saying the song is awful and we have zero chance of qualifying with others saying its good to see something different and we will qualify for a change.
January 28, 20241 yr It's nice that I won't be a lone supporter of Ireland for once! Easily the best song that they could've picked, and top of my rankings so far, it's one that I want to keep going back and listening to and it REALLY needs to be a return to the final for them. I swear to god if it's left to be announced as the 10th qualifier I'll be having a heart attack
January 29, 20241 yr I bet if we qualify we will either be first announced or last announced and if it we qualify and its the latter il be having heart palpitations.
February 2, 20241 yr Bambie Thug debuts at number 37 here in the Irish charts this week, thats the first Irirsh entry to make the top 40 since Ryan O Shaughnessy Together in 2018, good to see there is at least some support for the entry this year as the last few years the eurovision entries have charted far lower.
February 18, 20241 yr To be fair jedward did well for ireland especially with lipstick and I never expected that jedward could pull off something as good as lipstick and the staging was excellent. Waterline was catchy too.
February 21, 20241 yr Yeah this is absolutely abhorrent and hopefully won’t make it out the semis with any luck :puke:
March 10, 20241 yr So this already went Top 40 in Ireland which is more support than most Irish ESC songs have got - is this going to be the song to return them to the final?
March 10, 20241 yr I'm really hoping it is, I'd love is to be part of the final this year as its been to long.
March 10, 20241 yr I think us Irish Eurovision fans are used to not getting our hopes up so I am doubtful because it's rare that more than 4 songs from the first half of a semi final quality and we've got Ukraine, Lithuania, Croatia and Serbia in our half - not to mention Poland who defied predictions last year. It doesn't look good. Edited March 10, 20241 yr by Colm
March 11, 20241 yr I really hope we beat the odds and go through although I'm banking on excellent staging on the night.
April 14, 20241 yr https://www.thesun.ie/tvandshowbiz/12724027...msday-blue-rte/ Interesting to hear the new version for radio purposes and happy to see there performances so far are been well received.
April 14, 20241 yr The pre-party performances have been decent and definitely better than many other country's acts. I am beginning to have hope that we'll qualify but the staging has to look good. I have a fear that it will look cheap and amateurish and that will just not be enough to get voters to vote. I also hope the camera cuts that we saw in Madrid are going to be used on Malmö. They were very effective. Edited April 17, 20241 yr by Colm
April 15, 20241 yr I agree I think they need to nail the staging for this a bit like how jedward nailed the staging with lipstick.
