    Bad, very bad from Ireland.

    RTE should be ashamed to put the woman through that.

    The last decent Irish entries were Ryan O'Shaughnessy in 2018.

    And Molly Sterling, Playing with Numbers 2015, which somehow didn't make it out of the semi.

    God that was dreadful………

    It’s like she was jilted over the delay at the start or something…

    Yeah sorry folks but it was half successful imo. I've heard it twice now and can only make out half of the lyrics.

    Yes. It wasn't one bit exciting and the end of it was just like, yeah wow here's the bits and pieces we used there

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.

    A terrible song. Remember I thought that from the first time I heard it. No personality or hook to it at all, and her performance just highlighted it.

    That was pretty shabby. The set looked like a knock off from a 90's RTE kids show. The song was like the aspirational type stuff the worst netflix kids animation shows pump out.

    The staging concept was brilliant, but I think whatever happened to cause the delay spooked her and the team a bit. Hopefully it's enough if a gimmick for us to get through and we have another chance in the final

    Doesn't help that we have Lil' Miss Gaga straight after us.

    Lesley is a nice girl but she hasn’t got the pipes for the song - if you’re singing at Eurovision you need to have a STRONG voice. She was straining her voice a lot.

    It wasn't a bad song but the music was way too loud so it was impossible to make out what she was singing.

    Staging was a nice idea. Funnily enough, her best singing was for the long note. Ending was quite poor.

    I hope she gets through anyway!
