I know it's a long shot, but my prediction for us for 2019 is:
I know it's a long shot, but my prediction for us for 2019 is:
- A shock non-qualification and RTÉ promising to "re-examine our approach to the contest"
- Someone in the RTÉ bubble with a failed/aged music career
- A dreary and lethargic ballad sung with all the passion of a bowl of porridge
- The Late Late Show and Marty Whelan hyping up the song and calling it "the best song we've sent in years" and calling it "modern and youthful"
- Another shock non-qualification and RTÉ promising to "re-examine our approach to the contest"
[*]Someone else in the RTÉ bubble with a failed/aged music career
[*]Another dreary and lethargic ballad sung with all the passion of a bowl of porridge
[*]Once again, The Late Late Show and Marty Whelan hyping up the song and calling it "the best song we've sent in years" and calling it "modern and youthful"
[*]Someone else in the RTÉ bubble with a failed/aged music career

Re: IRELAND 2019
Was just listening to this (tbh I'm not sure I've ever listened to it in full) and it's making me want us to send another entry sung in Irish. I mean with the way things are going now, we don't have much to lose. (and everything to gain)
Someone in RTE needs to make some kind of inspired decision. Please.

Because the people who make these decisions think you need to send something Eurovisiony to do well.

Re: IRELAND 2019
RTÉ lack creativity and inspiration across the board. We have five presenters across radio and TV that earn almost 2 million between them, and the orchestras are absolutely devoid of funds. The creative directors and directing team are so sure of their jobs that they threaten to sue at the slightest hint of being replaced. They culled some of the best TV shows when appointed during the financial crisis and replaced them with their own stuff because they wanted their own stuff to be just as popular. RTÉ is rotten to the core, so I don't expect anything bold or brave anytime soon.

The Lord Mayor of Dublin is a titular role and MEPs really have no sway here. As much as I'd like to see a protest withdrawal next year, it's not going to happen. Especially with FG in power, which is a shame.

Irish anti-Israelism.... how "original" ... Zzzzz
Hopefully RTÉ will stay and not be pursued by all the anti-semites, but please send something remotely interesting for a change.

Re: IRELAND 2019
Is there any chance Samantha Mumba would enter finally? She has been rumored more than once in the past, and I think she even wanted to go but knowing RTÉ they are stuck with dated bland ballads, preferably sung by some young male act. Now I dunno how her live vocal abilities are actually, but I think they should be fine if I remember correctly. I could see her with some midtempo Soul-Pop track, sort of like a female version of Austria 2018.

I am now a lover of Ireland. This country is not beautiful, it is beyond beautiful, mesmerizing, soul soothing. Dublin is so cool, the Irish are friendly and upbeat. I have all my fingers and toes crossed for a great entry in 2019.
