And this is exactly why I wouldn't want Rachel representing us as well because they are clearly trying to follow some euro pop strategy and that isn't us

2007 was close to traditional (they can't stop the spring) and it qualified to the final somehow where it finished last place
Irish language is great, something like Banshee would be interesting for adult ESC as well i think
i hope when she is old enough she is given a chance by RTE, also Linda Martin was in that music video too
