    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.

    He couldn't hold a note!

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

    Because it was the best song so far.

    He's competing so far against one electronic song and 7 power ballads (last one was about Doner Kebabs)

    He has been waiting for this night apparently. Probably the night he loses his virginity at 28.

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

    So why are you watching this poor contest and posting and reading on the internet about it then?

    I think the last 30 seconds could have saved Nicky. He was definitely not the worst of the night.

    Because it wasn't mediocre. Look at what he's up against. All the songs are the same. His stood out.

    It's guaranteed to get through.

    Nicky Byrne will be helped a lot that he is on the night of a thousand power ballads. His song, while not exceptional, was like a breath of fresh air, amongst all this faux-emotional sh1te.

    If Byrne wins does that mean he will be too busy and will no longer do the radio show?

    Win win for us all in that situation.

    If it's not important then why have lyrics at all?
