As we had reported, Irish Eurovision Representative Ryan Dolan, performed at the Northern Ireland Parliament buildings – Stormont – on Monday April 8th for the DUP First Minister. Not many performers are awarded this honor and Ryan was there with his 2 backing singers. Well we have managed to get a short clip of Ryan performing “Only Love Survives” in The Long Gallery at Stormont to the assembled members.

Today Ryan is in Dublin to get measured for his Eurovision stage outfit. We are sure that it will not be a Jedward creation! Ryan’s You Tube Channel has surpassed half a million views which is showing the level of interest in his music.

Sweden & Ireland both have similar uptempo songs this year (and neither singer is particularly gifted) but whereas Robin moves about to his entry, Ryan seems intent on being static as it all goes on around him. Therefore I hope his outfit is better than the dull efforts he’s been performing in so far. He needs something stylish to help make people sit up and notice and not have Sweden cancel him out should he make the final (which I think he will).
I think I would favor Ryan over Martin – the stage performance in MF was all very disjointed with the dancers not adding to the song. The bigger ESC stage will suit Ryan’s plans ;-)
He dragged those bloody backing singers? Wtf… Has he not learned that they destroy the song?!? We have NO chance in Malmo if they are involved. :-(
I think he will surprise people in Malmo – He is going Top 10
Ooh I really hope so. The songs has enough that will connect with the television audience. Am really looking forward to seeing the complete package in Malmo.
Hope to be with Ryan and the team next week so we will find out
Excellent. I may seem over critical at times with my comments but as I’ve stated before, I just want the best from our entry and to get a good result. I await to hear of your meeting with Ryan and the team with interest.
Not at all Martin. Always constructive which is always appreciated
Thank you.
Very Welcome
