Youtube video

Brooke Scullion: That's Rich

Youtube video

Brendan Murray: Real Love

Youtube video

Rachel Goode: I'm Loving Me


with 2 more reveals to go, tomorrow and friday

[Nicky91]

Rachel vocally is like the lesbian love child of Malta's Chiara and Iceland's Hera Bjork



i am in love with ''im loving me'' it is soooooo easy listening, such a smooth flow



Janet's is my second favourite out of these so far, very nice indeed greatest showman-esque vibe with a hint of music what you'd expect from the queen herself, namely Adele

Patrick is the winner of RTE's last singer standing, where he was coached by Nicky Byrne (whom is one of the composers of this entry) he has worked with Meatloaf on Bat Out of Hell musical

I heard this one this morning, I really like it, favourite of our songs so far. I love The Corona's as well and Danny is a writer on this one, love Patrick's voice too, I love that he sings with his own accent. I hope this one wins for us

last Irish nf artist/song reveal

[Nicky91]

Patrick or Rachel for me personally, i mean Ireland hasn't had a good recent track record, last place twice in a row in the semi finals in last two years


so better can send something uplifting, fun, cheesy




Rachel's composer team is the same one who composed for Poland last year for Rafal's The Ride, you can clearly hear that same 80s synthpop signature of theirs

The problem imo is we've been trying to copy the cheesy Pop or dance songs that have been successful in the last few years with other countries. What we need to do imo is stop looking at other countries and what has worked for them and send something original, something Irish/traditional maybe. 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

Actually The Coronas sing in Irish sometimes too (The band that the lead singers came from that co wrote Patrick's song) Love their stuff, Patricks song has a very Corona's vibe to it
