It pains me to say it but seeing them all together is just depressing.

Ireland simply didn’t bother at times including sending perhaps the worst, and certainly most cynical Eurovision song ever 🦃, all the time wingeing about the 1990s, “Eastern Blockers” and political voting.

:10: 2013 "Only Love Survives"
:8: 2010 "It's for You"

There's a clear reason why Ireland has such a bad qualification record. As I said before, it's always fun to ask younger fans to guess which country has the most victories and watch their jaws drop when you tell them it's Ireland!

:12: Lipstick - 2011
:10: Together - 2018
:8: Playing with numbers - 2015
:7: Maps - 2021
:6: Without your love - 2001
:5: That's rich - 2022
:4: It's for you - 2010
:3: Only love survives - 2013
:2: Every song is a cry for love - 2006
:1: 22 - 2019

ps. Is all this love for the 2007 entry based on the studio cut? There were some painfully bad vocals during the live performance!

So much love for "Every Song Is a Cry for Love" 😍 - obviously the cry worked! 😂 I hope it’s gonna make it into the top 3 (too lazy to do the math) because it’s such a gorgeous song and I would have never ever guessed this one to be so popular.
By the way, does anyone getting "Shrek“ vibes? The melody is a bit similar to one of the main themes of the movie (though it’s even closer to Nocturne).
