Did Marry just say he nailed it ???

dark crystal

He does look good though, wha. Like young Rolf from the Sound of Music.

kneemos

Looks nervous,see him waiting for his next move.

NTC

Poor. Sadly.

First time I heard the song and I don't think I'll be hearing it again.

hmmm

He has a great stage presence, but his voice isn't great & the background is so boring.

Atlantic Dawn

They forgot to turn his mic on at the end.

Lunger

tayto lover

His diction was very poor but the song was nice.

Jamie OD

Davina McCall put on a few pounds.

Itssoeasy

I mean there have been worse irish songs but I didn't think it ever got going.

tigger123

Really surprised he didn't have more power in his voice. He's been belting it out with westlife for so many years, his tuning was good, but the voice was a bit meh...

PeterTheEighth

That was a good performance. His voice was buried behind the track a bit, but it's not the first song that suffered from that. Good idea to have the keyboard following him through the slow bit at the end (cos he lost timing the last time I heard him trying to sing it alone).

Embarrassing for Ireland a singer up next

Say Your Number

Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin representing Macedonia.

Think he might make it through tho- cheesy as it was ... hopefully there will be lots of European Westlife fans watching and vote for him:)

jluv

Sorry but I thought he did great and got the best reaction from the crowd yet..Gwan Nicky Byrne!

Surprised by the negative reaction. Think it's one of our stronger entries since Jedward.

Didn't you know he used to be in Westlife.

Jed 1 or Jed 2?

Welsh Megaman

Macedonia's Bonnie Tyler

hmmm

I'm no expert on Macedonian, but I think she's talking about her happiness after a difficult bowel movement.

Well done Nicky Byrne! A very professional performance , He gave it socks and fair play worked the cameras and the crowd like the professional he is. No complaints here

Oh Jaysus didn't realise this was Eire's song. Completely off key. It's awful dirge ! No chance I'm afraid. It's very very weak and he looks and sounds nervous....

OMG this is just shocking. I sing better at 2am in a nightclub when the lights come on for teenage dirtbag :P

Bloody hell people Typical Irish begrudgery.

Did you see the rubbish that was on before him

His was the only song that had a bit of life in it and a catchy chorus.

Nailed on to get through imho.

Professey Chin

Can we just hire Gwar and send them

Lunger

I'm not gone on her airplane arms.

TrustedApple

I am wondering is there anyone out there who says i am so buying this song on iTunes now ?

Mr.Nice Guy

That was out of tune tripe from us.

tayto lover

Somebody stole her cow.

Tandey

I'm all for puttting down one of our own like any other Irish person and I hate him but that was actually a very good performance.

dark crystal

This lady's a dedicated 40-a-day woman I'd wager.

walshb

How is it begrudgery? Just cause the act before him was crap doesnt give his mumbly bleh a free pass.

Lunger

That end needed a safeword.

hmmm

hah BBC "no don't do that"

Andersonisgod

What in the name of sound was that last note?

He was dreadful. Nothing to do with Irish begrudgery but having functioning ears.

Ryan Tubridy up next singing for Lithuania

KatW4

I'm shocked at the negative reaction to our song. It was the best one so far. The only thing I had a problem with was that his mic wasn't loud enough and he was being drowned out by the music and backing singers. I really think he did a great job.

Andy From Sligo

all very well NB representing Ireland , but i would have liked to see the Voice of Ireland winner (who was it, cant even remember lol) represent Ireland in the ESC.

Katherine Thomas should say "the winner of the voice goes on to represent ESC 2016"

Should be same in UK as well, the winner of the voice in UK (whoever that was) should go on to represent the UK in the ESC

Lunger

This dude's look bookends Israel.

PeterTheEighth

Very similar to Nicky Byrne's chords. :eek:

It's not begrudgery,it's fair comment on a poor song and performance in an pathetic contest.
