Take your mirror off the wall
Ain't you gettin' bored of your reflection
I'm tired of dodging all your calls
You wanna be the centre of attention

I'm gettin' sick of ya now
Stop sending flowers
I'll just burn them all
you'll cry for hours

Always putting me down
Well I got news for you
Ya say I'm usin' ya now

That's rich
When it's coming from you
That's rich
Cos I got nothing to prove
That's rich
You think i dress up for you?
That's rich
BYE BYE fool (ooww!)

Used to think I need your help
To feel good turns out i do it better
Think Maybe you should please yourself
Cos I am over you, i'll see ya never

I'm gettin' sick of ya now
Stop sending flowers
I'll just burn them all
you'll cry for hours

Always putting me down
Well I got news for you
Ya say I'm usin' ya now

That's rich
When it's coming from you
That's rich
Cos I got nothing to prove
That's rich
You think i dress up for you?
That's rich
BYE BYE fool (ooww!)

I think it's funny how you miss
When you never knew me
You were a lazy lover
I moved on to ones that move me
Loser lose your attitude
I'm doing good that's on me
All glowed up, yeah that's on me
You see me now, you want me

Bye Bye
Cause I don't need a lazy lover
Bye Bye
No I don't want to meet your mother
Bye Bye
Don't cry I'm sure you'll meet another
And you'll tell her that you love her

That's rich
When it's coming from you
That's rich
I know all of your moves
That's rich
You think i dressed up for you?
That's rich
That's rich
Yeah that's rich
When It's coming from you
That's rich

BYE BYE fool (ooww!)​

The 5th songs song by Patrick O'Sullivan from Cork is called One NIght, One Kiss, One Promise.

Remains Brooke or bust for me at the moment.


I kinda like it....at the very least it feels like a more successful 80s vibe song than I'm Loving Me (and the lyrics don't feel quite as hammy....though that was kind of a low bar)

I think Brooke is still our best option though, as long as she's strong performing live.

I've evolved with the two recently announced songs: we were into 50 shades of meh, we're now into 666
Even if "That's Rich" and "ONOKOP" are a little bit less meh, they're still full of non-qualifying potential.
A possible miracle for the last song or should we announce already the first second non-qualifier of this edition?

Patrick´s entry is quite good and I really love the tone of his voice.
Unfortunately, I heavily dislike the mixing of the arrangement - especially in the chorus - it´s like too much is going on without any distinct sounds. Personally, I think that the song would have been better with a more natural and organic arrangement.

Life's a highway, now I'm driving
And I'm on the right track
I hear a voice inside me saying
There's no turning back


Feel the wind in my hair
Love is still there
But I'm loving me
I am ready to fly
Reach for the sky
Finally I'm free
Loving me....

I totally agree. I see a lot of potential here (for :ie: standards) but also missed chances. Vocals seem quite decent and you could have made something out of the general idea for the song. But the arrangement, the messy sound, the unnecessary high note at the end...

It still is a possible choice beside Brooke though

It's the first time actually that I have not a single song I can root for. One of the worst NFs. I hope I can support Ireland again next year!

As I´ve already mentioned, I don´t think that any of these songs are bad but after listening to all entries for this national final, I still feel underwhelmed. Personally, I think that all of the songs are average or slightly above average.. but will it be enough to qualify in the end? It highly depends on the live performance of "That´s Rich", imo. I can´t see the other songs qualify as long as Patrik´s entry doesn´t get a huge revamp.

"Yearh, we´re gonna get out of it" is very chill but also slightly annoying. The arrangement reminds me a bit of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (or to which beat/arrangement they would have come up with a rap song). Nothing to write home about but not entirely boring or bad either.

I think I´d give all songs a :4: to :6: ranking. "That´s Rich" is a :7: for me right now but due to it´s utterly annoying middle 8 part, I can see myself downgrading a bit but honestly, it´s the only chance to make Ireland qualify.

My ranking of the songs.

01 - Brooke - That's Rich
01 - Patrick O'Sullivan - One Night, One Kiss, One Promise
03 - Miles Graham - Yeah, we're gonna get out of it
04 - Janet Grogan - Ashes of Yesterday
05 - Rachel Goode - I'm Loving Me
06 - Brendan Murray - Real Love

I'm kind of stuck between Patrick and Brooke at the moment. I'll probably end up voting for the one with the better live performance.

Yeah, we're gonna get out of it has a sorta cute vibe to it (and it's more interesting than some of the songs)....but it somehow felt very long for a 3 minute song. I feel like I'd like something a bit snappier.
