Eurovision Ireland 
I think it’s very unfair. That Irish singer song writers were not given a chance.to enter. There is loads of them..I myself had a song to enter and now can’t. Iam sure Nicky is a lovly guy..but song is not that good. .sorry
It’s a valid point Maggie. I guess RTE wanted to try an internal selection for once and see if it could give us a result like Conchita and The Common Linnets. Did you think of submitting your songs abroad like many artists do across Europe?
Ok, so Nicky Byrne fans are raving about ‘Sunlight’, but i’d like to hear what Eurovision fans think of it. I’m disappointed. I’m surprised Nicky would enter the contest with such an average pop song. It would not hold a candle to the previous two winners of Eurovision. Maybe they can beef it up a bit before the contest. No disrespect to Nicky btw…..I think he’s a very talented guy.
let’s hope that the Nicky fans vote 20 times on their phones for him John
Oh we will for sure 😉
