Croatia and Ireland


CROATIA -
We've only just got the live stream in the press centre so we've missed Croatia, but when we saw it at this afternoon's rehearsal it was a perfectly competently performed entry. A nice song, but unlikely to qualify.



IRELAND -
Sadly, Ireland is going to find it hard to qualify. The set and spreading the girls out on stage doesn't really help this song. Sinead's costume this afternoon was quite bizarre, mainly black with a pink 'flying saucer' style short skirt. This evening Sinead's changed a black top for a pink one, which looks better. This is one of the better songs in this semi, but without (m)any friends, it looks like Ireland will not be making an appearance on Saturday. A shame.

What a hideous outfit, thank god they changed the top, now they need to change the bottom.

I still think Sinead has an outside chance of qualifying.It doesn't sound like the 'car crash' that Dustin was last year,and it's possible that some of the ethno pop entries in this semi might cancel each other out (as happened with the three rock songs last night).

Who is going to vote for Ireland? Answer: Nobody I'm afraid.

Who is going to vote for Ireland? Answer:I am NOT! What a silly and hideous song! This woman can not really sing live, so maybe she should have done what reddish Hadise did: put on something skimpy and do some belly dance, no, Irish dance, so at least one can feel interested in something else than the boring song.

I wanted to vote for Ireland, it was clearly the best song of the night but the UK was not allowed to vote last night! Damn shame!
