This is why I like Patrick's song though, it's not exactly a traditional song but it's not trying to be anything else or sound like anyone previously successful in the Eurovision either. 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

Youtube video

i hope when she is old enough she is given a chance by RTE, also Linda Martin was in that music video too
