We go again.
The Irish Song Contest is about to begin.
Lots of white bedsheets on show here during entry 1, which is Aji (Adji, Ahgee?) from Donegal.
He’ll be running into the night because I don’t think he’ll win.
Bloody hell it’s Primal Scream
Shake it baby
Shake it baby
There aren’t enough songs in the history of recorded music called “Fire” and Galway’s answer to Eimear Quinn is here to change that.
A pity Samantha can’t use one of her many bangers from the early 00’s.
Samantha Mumba won’t be going to Eurovision
I wouldn’t be so sure.
The Riverdance in the middle might swing it
This is our winner I think.
Not a great singer though. Struggled to reach the high notes.
I’m sending the Limerick man
I think 5 or 6 will probably win but I’d expect our external jury (if there is one like last year) to give the douze points to Mumba.
Samantha Mumba gets the international vote
Emmy gets the national vote. Neck and neck going into the public vote.
The Limerick fella has been screwed over here.
We have a Norwegian representative going to Europe for us.
The public rejected Samantha Mumba like they rejected Grainne Seoige.
Commentators eye.
Emmy gets the public vote. We have a winner!
The public got the scoring right, I’m not sure what the juries were watching
Mumba sent home with tae in her mug.
Another vindication.
I’m elite at judging how people will behave.
