I like this song
sounds great, hope it makes into final =)
good luck from Germany
Sinead didn't make the finals last year because the song wasn't good enough. Ireland have decided to give the song writers of that failure another chance with Niamh. They are hoping her name around the Eurovision circuit will win us extra votes because the song certainly won't do it by itself.
Best song for Ireland in years, although Sinead was great last year, such a pity she didnt make the final! Niamh is in with a chance in Oslo, I think she'll bring us back into the top 10.
Tom Jones who are you? Why are you so against the song....its just a song, your juvenile messages are a bit pathetic. If you dont like it that much why bother commenting. Also you might want to learn some more grammar - would help you make sense, if thats possible! 
Very boring but not bad ...... When I first heard It I was like whatever 
I'm with Garry here. Some people will write anything just to get attention. So just don't pay any attention to them.
come on people surely you realise who tom jones is! he used the names hero and the real hero last year, he de;iberately comes on to cause trouble, if you ignore him he will go away
@Tom JOnes,
sweetheart are you one of the few "unlucky" immigrants NOT to be accepted by Ireland ???? No use throwing your crap on us... we are just simple music lovers.... So please grow up.
you cant remove me i am a cow
@ Tom Jones
To be honest, I actually don't care what you think. You are just one bored little brat with bad English. Instead of leaving nasty comments, may I recommend you take some language lessons!
And regarding you hating Ireland's entry. I'm ok with that, but don't compare us to the UK when they haven't even chosen their song yet. And if their song is good, I will certainly vote for them.
ESCtoday, will you please delete Tom Jones' account as I'm getting slightly annoyed now.
@tom jones are u writing english or are you just learning because its very bad come on ireland
RECALL! : Have you seen how much the Pseudonym " Tom Jones" is fascinated (cf. Psychosis) by Ireland!!! Stop politics boy, is a site dedicated to the song…
i thick ireland song poor this year it sound like 90s song
@Ireland 7 Times:
I hope in May you will have to change your nick!! 
Sadly, though rightly, there are negative comments a plenty too. This won't be Ireland's year but it will be Niamh's as she has catapulted herelf back into the public eye again courtesty of 'the 'little frock of horrors' so she'll be happy whatever the outcome.
so good 2 c ppl being positive about ireland again
Lina - Norway is actually further away from joining the EU than ever according to all polls. I dont think we are likely to join... at least not in maaaaaany years. And looking at what is happening in Greece (and fearing also Spain, Portugal, Italy etc will also experiencing deep crises in the near future) does not make it any more likely that the norwegians will vote "yes" to the EU.
lol how did you get to talk about financial crisis & Norway's future membership in EU? Iceland is poor now so they want to join in EU. Norway & Switzerland are rich and independent countries, so they would have no benefit from a possible EU membership. Anyway, the Irish entry is not great but it's not bad either. juries will help it definitely but i see viewers voting for it also!
I mean maybe you change mind for other reason
@ Lina
But we in Norway haven't experienced any deep impacts from the previous global fancial crisis xD
Lets hope that Norway will join EU soon beacuse i want to have Norwegian people more close to me I love Norway !! And dont forget that before financial crisis Iceland was against EU full memberchip but now not and i like that since yesterday everybodys reactions ended up with italics letter i dont know why but personal i like it
Hmm, I don't know how my post ended up with full italic.
@ Lina
Maybe, maybe not. There is still a slightly majority against a further EU membership here in Norway
@Zanic , Norway in the near future have changes to join EU ?
@ Garry
Yes I think so.
IRELAND ARE NOT GOING TO WIN THIS YEAR.
doe anyone else suspect that the user tom jones is our old poster hero and real hero
ITS NEEDS GREAT CHANGES as it is now it will fail big time
