Lamph & Roisin Dubh - Chead a mhile lies

 

Ireland first song available.

 

:unsure: I try to search it but i can't. WTF LOL

Oh dear. English translation: "One Hundred Thousand Lies" - I think. My Irish was never fantastic :P

 

I don't know why "lies" wasn't translated, maybe the song is a mix of Irish and English. :unsure:

It is. Actually the song is called Roisin Dubh, Chead a mhile lies is the old title. Not bad, quite 90s sounding :)

 

:cheer: I really like it! The video needs a bit of work, but the song is very 90s, like you say. :yahoo:

 

If you go to the youtube page, Lamph have supplied a download link for the song :D

 

EDIT: Apparently, it's not in the Eurosong final yet, but it is being considered for the final 30, and then they'll choose the six after that =)

More more more! But they're not as good as Lamph :(

 

The Cowmen - "Serious Water"

 

 

 

 

 

Lauren White - "A New Way to Fly"

 

 

___

 

I hope to jebus Lamph get through instead of those two :(

That Roisin Dubh song is awful! I seriously hope Leona Daly can come up with something better than that...

Another entry...

 

 

Epic fail if it gets picked for Eurosong...

The six songs have been shortlisted, apparently. But they won't be released until early next week.

From rté:

OH DEAR GOD. Please will a performer with ACTUAL talent please enter. And no ballads. I HATE BALLADS.

 

Discuss. And take a cookie :)

 

So you hate ballads. It could be far worse. You could end up with rubbish like the UK has had for the past 5 or 6 years.

We've had appalling ballads in recent years, IMO. It's made me go off them completely. :P

 

 

It say's on Esctoday that these will be the six songs contending to be Irelands next entry:

 

 

1. “Flying” performed by M.N.A and composed by Ronan McCormack.

2. “Out of Control” performed by Laura-Jayne Hunter and composed by Derry O’Donovan.

3. “So What” performed by Lee Bradshaw and composed by Billy Larkin and Kevin Breathnach.

4. “Amazing” performed by Johnny Brady and composed by Tony Adams Rosa

5. “I Wish I Could Pretend” performed by Kristina Zaharova and composed by Lauris Reiniks.

6. “Et Cetera” performed by Sinead Mulvey & Black Daisy. Composed by Niall Mooney, Jonas Gladnikoff, Daniele Moretti & Christina Schilling.

 

Here's a site with pictures of the finalists: http://www.allkindsofeverything.ie/IrishNews.htm

It'd be odd if Greece and Ireland had the same name of the song :heehee:

But the probability of this happening is 1/18 :o

Not all that high then. Et Cetera is co-written by the guys that wrote Someday for Hera Bjork in Denmark... Should be interesting!

Sinead Mulvey is a good singer. Her song on her MySpace is quite good! I'm not surprised that only two of the finalists are from Ireland. Three from Northern Ireland, and one from Latvia.

 

I can't wait until the samples are released, though.

Yay!! :w00t: :w00t:

Yay!! :w00t: :w00t:

 

Hehe. If any of them get through, lets hope they can do as well as Mickey Harte. ^_^ EDIT: Okay, he was from Donegal, but that's close to NI! :P

 

There was an article in the paper today about the six finalists:

 

RTE strikes a new note in bid for Eurovision

 

By Jason O'Brien

 

Saturday February 14 2009

 

HAVING failed to entice back the big names, RTE is turning to a group of relative unknowns to rescue its tainted Eurovision reputation.

 

Former winners Johnny Logan and Paul Harrington were among those approached to sing in Moscow in May after the decision to enter Dustin the Turkey backfired spectacularly last year.

 

But with all politely declining the invite, RTE has been forced to run another Eurosong competition to find an entrant.

 

And the list of six finalists revealed yesterday is less a 'Who's Who?' of Irish showbiz than a 'Who's That?'

 

Indeed, despite the fact that the winning song will represent Ireland in a European competition, one of the entries was written by an American. Two of the entries were penned by Latvian songwriters, and perhaps only Niall Mooney's name will ring any bells for Irish Eurovision fans.

 

Among the performers who will take to the stage during a special Late Late Eurosong special next Friday is Lee Bradshaw who will perform 'So What'. Mr Bradshaw "may be familiar to viewers as a waiter in the RTE TV series 'The Restaurant'," said an RTE spokeswoman. And Sinead Mulvey, who will perform 'Et Cetera', is a former 'You're A Star' finalist.

 

Jury

It is understood that Tara Blaise, one of the nominees for Best Irish Female Artist in this year's Meteor awards, entered the competition but her song was not selected by the jury. And Boyzone's Ronan Keating wrote the song that will be the Danish entry to this year's Eurovision.

 

The final decision on Ireland's entry will be decided by a jury vote and a public televote.

 

RTE said yesterday that over 300 entries were received for Eurosong, with Derry O'Donovan's 'Out of Control' among those to make the final six.

 

"The song 'Out of Control', has a very distinct ethnic, tribal flair, with a fusion of haunting Celtic and eastern influence, he said."

Edited February 14, 200916 yr by Cal

This was rejected...

 

 

I don't think RTÉ actually listen to all of the songs... :mellow:

They did seem to cut down the shortlist from hundreds to six in about two days...

Here's a video of Kristina Zaharova singing, it's not the song in contention to represent Ireland though (as they were all taken down)

 

 

Wow, she has a really great voice! :D

 

Here's her myspace too: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...endid=426893967

 

It has some more of her songs

Edited February 14, 200916 yr by Sabrewulf238

She's a great singer. I just hope the rest of them are too. I find it hard to believe RTÉ seriously listened to 300 entries in three days...
