Ireland 2013

Bad Ireland, Bad, bad, bad. How, of the choices that you had, did you manage to pick the worst song of the 5. Ryan Dolan is so utterly devoid of personality even his official music video struggles to focus on him. 

I mean, what? The utter love-in this boy got made me think he must have paid off the head of RTE for the success of it. I mean, something obviously traumatised this guy from Price Waterhouse Cooper who was overseeing the fairness of everything.

 

That is not the expression of a happy man, just taking it easy listening to Eurovision contenders. This is a man who will need therapy for many years to come, 

But despite the easy live charm of Son Kez, or the potential for smut in Kiss Me There (a terrible live song though), the respectably dull Crashing Down or even Fire, which I can never remember, we went with something that begins as a clone of Eric Saade's Popular. 

A success that Tooji failed at repeating and which Dolan will even more so if he tries. He's like a bad sequel to a franchise that had diminishing returns. He is the Sex and The City 2 of music.

The Sex and the City 2 of music.
