Silly man, why should Ireland give the UK votes if they didn't like the song.

The problem with Lucie's song was that like many others, it was a little over performed,with unnecessary near shouting.
I like shouting in songs to stress or enhance part of the song,however it is not always best to do little else.

In a contest like this with many songs being performed like that much the same way,it often will be the 'different' more sedate performance will get noticed and more appreciated in my opinion.

Ireland like the lilting more gently performed songs,Dana romping home ages ago with 'all kinds of everything ' also Johnny Logan and 'What's another year' to name just 2.

Clearly the UK entry while being better than maybe other years,didn't strike a chord with Ireland,so no votes,which Ireland are perfectly in their rights to not give if they weren't keen on the song and/or performance.

I don't think Ireland has a "type" of song, and those two mentioned were from decades ago

Very true but I think there were 2 brothers too who won with a simple tune too.

Often Ireland wins are with the ballad.

Ah yeah fair point, it would be nice to see them make the main show next year, I don't care where they place, makes the voting more interesting for me when they and the UK are involved

The was a good song, it was called Rock'n'Roll Kids

I think we need to stop thinking about what we think is a winning formula and go back to our roots, next year try something really Irish

I think he means "Mother" Theresa May, because of the number of people who have a morbid fantasy about suckling from her husky teet.
