Ireland's Eurovision entry 2013
Chosen tonight as winner of RTE's Eurosong contest :

I don't think it's all that good. It's certainly not on the same level as Loreen's or even Cascada's song.

I think it sounds a bit dated but was maybe the best of a bad lot

I'm not a fan of it but I guess it really was the best of a bad lot. Even if it does get through the semis I don't see it finishing Top 10.
So far, Norway's entry is really the only one I like |

Just had a quick look and the song by Aimee - Crashing Down is a much better song.
Also, was that girl Kasey one of the girls from that Irish girl group that just never took off? |

I'd bet my house on this song not doing as well as Jedward's Lipstick (8th place), and probably not even as well as Waterline (19th).
It's still a fact that Jedward gave Ireland their best result since 2000. |

I love it, but I don't think it really stands on its own outside of eurovision barriers (which isn't necessarily a bad thing)

They probably won't make it out of the semi finals, if you look http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovis...3#Semi-final_1 they are in the semi final containing a massive eastern block

That's her, Kasey Smith from Louis Walsh's group Wonderland.

Aimee lost coz her ballad was out dated and a tad depressing. Ryans is fun, uptempo and I think it will actually get top 5 at Eurovision.

I thought Aimee's ballad was dreadful. It sounded like a sub-standard Adele reject.

It would have been a good choice especially with the horsemeat scandal and all.
