I don't really hate the Welsh. Much. It's just fun winding up the Celts. I was wondering why Brian called the song EVERY SONG IS A CRY FOR LOVE. He has clearly never heard TOP OF THE POPS by the Rezillos.

Leave my hair out of it. My observation that there are lots of Irish in London is no more rascist than your observation that there are Eastern Europeans everywhere. These are facts. I have said I love the Irish. I do. I'm certainly not rascist. I just can't stand the Welsh. And if you think this place is not for discussing nationalities you are as naive as you sound. You want to read some of the rascist drivel on here and have a go at that.
I do like the song! Here does Brian Kennedy what he does best: singing a ballad. Right from the heart.The only thing I do miss a bit is an irish flute in the musical background. That would have made it more authentic.
Molly,love,I think all that bleach has had a nasty effect on you in your persuit of the Abba look. Keep your racist comments to yourself. Both Kensal Rise and Kilburn have their fair share of Eastern Europeans these days ,are you also going to post equally racist comments about them? Think not.
This forum is to comment on songs not nationalities.
Having read through the reactions it seems most people who don't like this song accuse it of being boring. I have to warn you that all 844 previous Irish winners were boring. It has a nasty Latvia 2005 factor about it and it's enough to weaken my bladder at the thought of going to Ireland yet again, sitting there in the rain eating soda bread. Let's hope common sense prevails and Silvia Nott wins the whole contest.
Three very hideous songs indeed. This looked and sounded like an Irish final from 1966. And the amount of times those people on stage said how wonderful Ireland and the Irish people were. I wouldn't mind but they were all Irish themselves. It was enough to make me puke. And then that idiot Louis Walsh said that everyone votes for Ireland because they never invaded anywhere. Well the voters certainly forgot how lovely the Irish were over the last couple of years. Anyway they have invaded Kilburn and Kensal Rise in vast numbers. I love the Irish but sometimes, well really. And was that REALLY Niamh Kavanagh on stage? What happened to the poor old thing's hair? She looked like a bank clerk to me.
Oh no no no!!! This was the worst song out of the three!!! The 2nd song All over the worls was the best. I can't believe this!! I won't be surprised if we dont qualify for the final again this year. I really won't!!! We need a performance, not just a song. Maybe Tabby next year, The Conway sisters the year adter, and maybe sometime reform Six and have them perform. I LOVE YOU RUSLANA!!!
Ireland: See you at next year's semi......................
Very nice voice, the song is not for the Eurovision may be, 5/10, galantis . athens
and than they said chaira was boring?
sorry Eire but the song is very boring and 5 days after ESC it will be forgotten
That one could really be the long awaited winning ballad at the ESC!... Go Brian! Go Ireland for your 8th victory! 
BRIAN GET AN 8TH WIN FOR IRELAND!!!
Sorry, but I find this song rather disappointing. After listening to it I'd forgotten exactly how it goes. I've no doubt that Brian's talented but this ballad is another one that will simply be lost and forgotten I think .... a sort of shame considering Ireland's history in Eurovision. Better luck next year guys... 
MALTA IN 2005 PRODUCED THE BEST EVER BALLAD IN ESC...CHIARA BACK IN 1998 HAD A GREAT BALLAD 'THE ONE THAT I LOVE' AND IN 2005 ' ANGEL'...AND SHE WILL RETURN SOMEDAY WITH ANOTHER BALLAD AND WIN THE EUROVISION FOR THE MOST DESERVED COUNTRY MALTA
This is my post, i find your use of the english language and totally negative attitude offensive..
Afaid I'm not impressed
i am totally delighted that this song is our song for greece - i love it and is most certainly a very strong contender to win ladies and gentlemen - think - "stronger every minute" think "i'm not afraid to move on" only this type of music is very much in fashion this time around -
i don't really like brian kennedy and he really needsa style overhaul but he done good with this song and i am - repeat - absolutley delighted - at last a good irish entry
Its time for a ballad to win again!
I am getting so fed up of up tempo dance songs winning!
Dublin 2007?
Andreas Kalogerou:
what a FAB comment. Why are there not more people like you here?
I think Ireland will do badly. I wish they would start doing better soon, but I can't see who will vote for it...

Title - "ERDAJTUH MANN!!" / "Enjoy your stay!!"
Sobriety... at last. It needs to be presented with sobriety too and will more than certainly speak to people's heart and ears. I like it very much. I hope Ireland will be back for good. And I'd love this song to be the first ballad to win with televoting.
