Whatever happens, I hope that we will have a better national final than the Late Late show!

This was the last winner of The Voice
Nice singer, bit like Guy Sebastian in a sense but not really like any contestant this year.

Re: IRELAND 2016
Since I'm near certain we won't qualify this year, I hope the currrent HoD is sacked and replaced by someone who actually knows how to stage a NF or pick a good act internally, like Queen Mairead Farrell
My realistic picks would be:
Markus Feehily
Melanie McCabe
Ryan O' Shaughnessy
HomeTown
and of course the robbed goddess of Eurosong 2015: Erika Selin

I like Molly Sterling's entry but Erika Selin really was great. I still listen to the song regularly!

Re: IRELAND 2016
Signed it for you. I'm not necessarily sure that a MF style event would work due to the quality of songs probably being really poor, and when other countries have replicated it, they have flopped. Greece only usually have 4 or 5 songs in a NF, and have done for decades, and until the past couple of years they have got amazing results.

Re: IRELAND 2016
With the exception of 2012, at least Greece have it in a studio and is the only focus of the evening, whereas the Late Late Show has cheesy, tacky games on it after all the songs have performed in a cramped studio. Thanks for signing, please share it if you want, we need this to get the attention of our HoD and Michael Kealy. Our winning streak is at stake!Signed it for you.
Re: IRELAND 2016
Yes of course, I'm not saying the Late Late Show is fine as it is, because it's not I was just pointing a big selection is always what is needed. You've already got 29 signatures, but I will help and get a few friends to vote.

DEATH TO THE LATE LATE SHOW EUROSONG FORMAT
Just want to be perfectly clear.
If they can afford a number of Voice of Ireland live shows (for a winner that nobody remembers like a day or two after it's over) they can afford one measly live show for a contest in which all of Europe is judging us.

Re: IRELAND 2016
Agree, surely they could just dedicate a studio in RTÉ to a live final. Use the Late Late studio but delete the Late Late element, have someone like Nicky Byrne or that Sinead Kennedy present and make it look like an actual national final and not some add on to a show that's core viewership is 50+.
