Ireland Eurovision 2007

[missTamazza]

lol! they don't have a patch on jedward!

[CroTechno]

long live beautiful Ireland

[sirconorbrown]

people keep saying that she cant sing !!! she can its her sean nos style voice!!! if she was singing a sean nos song she would sound fantastic!

[JiGe96]

I really love this song, I dont understand why it ended last. Bu the singing...meh. No one sing proper nowadays with the pre-recorded music.

[Aodhancfc92]

im from ireland and i really don't know why this song came last in 2007, like usually this is the music that always won us it in the past but all the bloc voting and politics makes it difficult for good music to win it

[DJEMMEY25]

@Aodhancfc92 It came last because she sang like someone was interfering with her! Not a note was sang in tune.

[Brianmaitland]

Holy shit i was 13 when i watched this, doesnt feel like all that long ago

[Lany81]

I love this song, always did - in fact, moved from Portugal to Ireland to enjoy more of this :) Voice could have been better but music is perfect! Eire's the best!

[MrHednah]

The ''dancing'' and singing is not good..., but the melody and music is great! :D

[cuccimani02]

This shouldn't have come last, listen to the passion. I know the singing was a bit 'off' but this is what makes the song also i know that this is cliche but look at them they were having fun.

I was really disappointed Europe.

and the instrumental part gave me goosebumps!!!

I live in Australia by the way and I love watching Eurovision.

[Eurofan2006]

I LOVE THIS SONG

I LOVE HER VOICE

IT IS VERY UNDERATED

GREETINGS

[Karolotti33]

lovely song.

[HeatherBkens]

I absolutely love this one, it has been my 2007 favourite for over 3 years. Absolutely beautiful!

[MrCrashwoo]

this song is about Pragues spring in1968.

[xxxsaz13xxx]

The song is kinda cool but the singer looks pissed off her head.

But wtf were we thinking.

Are we trying to win or look peaceful?



[cockandballstuff]

this is true irish spirit!! when i seen this song first. the first thing that came into mind was the local pub!!!!!!!!! ya dont need to be a good singer to sing a song like that because its the spirit that counts!!

[086jjgallagher]

all time low!!!!!

[louiseprosperous]

Was she pissed

[FS2004RULES]

@louiseprosperous I think she was pissed, we might as well have sent a crow.... Oh wait no, we DID...

[louiseprosperous]

@FS2004RULES I thought it was brutal. u watch the esc this year?

[bacabu30]

It was a lovely song but this singer can't sing: her voice is out of tune and is too weak. But if sung by someone else, like Sinead O'Connor, it would sound wonderful.

[RabbiPabblo]

wow those fiddle players must be on e

[neolxs]

Anyone who questions the dancing clearly has no understanding of ancient Irish celtic culture.

[RICHIEMAN93]

Hahahahahaha what the fuck is with her dancing!! :L:L

[DJEMMEY25]

How the fuck did we think this shit would win the eurovision for Ireland lol

Dervish? more like Rubbish! lol

[mazzakins]

didnt sing it well,deserved to be relegated after this performance.

[Vjekoslav031]

wow cool

[bacabu30]

Nice song but she can't sing!

[damienahern]

beautiful song pity she didnt sing better on the night.....but at least we were proud of what we sent!

[MissJannaMx]

didnt this get like 8 points....?

[xXxScoutxXx]

Total cringe!!!

[walshislandshamrocks]

This was a Great Song,would have won the eurosong 10years ago

[Jostipi]

Eurovision just sucks. Only the most stupid songs get to the finals. Its just a freakshow. This song is beutifull and it deserved a higher place.

[eduard007best]

@Jostipi This was already in the final because they finished well the year before

but i agree with you

[WonderfulLife08]

Beautiful song, it didn't deserve the last place. Maybe because her voice isn't very good...

[BlazingShadow100]

Lol I find it fun that when the song started she was standing in the exact same spot, then little by little she started jumping around the stage. Great song though, beautiful voice.

[SuperKevc]

I'm Irish and this song was absolutely beautiful! Just the singer was a little weak! But Ireland have deserved better in the last few years and europe stopped them and denied them in my opinion! But we will keep trying! :-)

[Jeggars]

All i hear is a blackbird and stop the spring ... everything else sounds like a mumble

[brandonlovesmonkeys]

She can't sing , Rte picked her not the irish public

[daithiolabhrai]

the lyrics in this song are so beautiful! if everyone in europe could understand english then maybe this song would have done better

[JammyDodger2012]

If the vocals in this weren't so dire this song should have won. Her zombie dancing freaked me out a bit too.

[Deborah8678]

peasants from Ireland or the Thanksgiving day in advance? No offense - but the dressing looks fun...

[Referral123]

I was so angry when Dervish came last, her vocals were a tad off but the song was amazing.

Think about this, even with bad vocals on the night Albania's jury awarded Ireland 5 points. With a better singer and full juries Ireland could have came top 5. or even 50/50..

Thats why in 2010 Ireland should try harder.

Get a professional singer not a nobody and an amazing song and please GOD for the decade 2010 - 2020.. dont suck like the 00's

[FilCroft]

Nervous, but still great perfomance, which deserved Top10!!!

[DrOnill]

Sorry, I listened still and still this song and my numbers 6 and 5 (greece and sweden) and finally this song is the best! With the time, I grow tired of other songs, but not of this one.

6 points go to Ireland!

[DrOnill]

The song is very good! In my top 10 fo 2007. (4 points)

It's refreshing to see a properly dressed woman who doesn't cry for her lover!

[DenmarkEurovision]

Ireland are having a Bad time over the past few years.. like Sweden

But both countries have had at least one top 10 song in the past 4 years..

Brian Kennedy came in 10th in 2006 with a great Ballad and the compitition was of a high standerd.

C'mon 2010 Ireland give us a Great song and earn a vote from me!!

I liked this song.. but I must Admit in 07 My vote went to Ukraine (lolz) but I was hoping this would make the top 10

[STHFGDBY]

She came across as very nervous. She had a shaky voice and I dont think traditional music is ever going to make it in the Euro... simply because most people dont understand it. That goes for other countries too. They mostly fail. A modern mix is what you need, something that can be loved and understood by most countries.

[francisnancy54]

Wasn't Eimear Quinn's a traditional song?

[codrodcm]

music if ever i heard it superb preformance maith sibh

[LienPT]

The music had everything to be a great entry, but the vocalist had a problem in singing in tune... It's really a pity, it IS a beautiful music...!

[UtSoma]

Creo que estaría bastante bien que Irlanda cantara en Gaélico

[MizuruTakagi]

love it

[Jaas67]

is rud gruama é nach bhfuil an vótáil cothram sa comortas seo....i mo thuairim níl sé greannmhar ar chur ar bith agus táim bréan de.....

[luisfeliperasmuss]

her dance was pretty weird... nice song tho

[milfordegan123kevin]

i know the violin guy

[Aislingxxoh]

They act came 2 our skl nd dey wer sooo much betr den sooo i tink it was just a bad day!!!

[brandonlovesmonkeys]

It Would of been great if they picked a good singer because the song is great and the music but she makes a holy mockery of her voice . would of doin good if there was a good singer and a better position

[Minduli91]

She is amazing! Or THEY are! I loved this then and still keep on loving!

[punkcat77]

I like the song, despite her slightly dodgy voice - it was good to see Ireland go traditional!

Pity no one else in Europe agreed.

[Shindai]

On the album her voice is fine, I dunno why she's slightly off in this. Happened to Greece in 2002 as well though, I think they lost out coz they were slightly off on the night. Tis a pity. Love this song though

[blyid1]

Dustin the turkey was better than this load of you know what !!!!

[xii2quic]

She is such an embarrassment, what the hell was she smoking b4 she went out!!!

[Referral123]

I like the song!

Not her voice though :(

Ireland should get the Celtic women to perform a great song like have you heard their version of "the voice" ?

omg shutters

and I love the song from 1:08 to the end :D

the beginning was the worst bit and in the Irish Pre-selection she sounded SO much better

♥ ya from Norway and Ireland along with Norway, Denmark and Sweden are the BESt esc countries

[darkillias]

I love the song and her voice, dancing way and aura...

[TheMAProductions]

Only problem with this song was the singer herself

[escturkey]

Çok başarılı bir şarkıydı.Neden 1. olamadığını hala anlayamıyorum.Politikaya oy vermeyi bırakıp da gerçek sanatla ilgilenmeye başladıklarında yeniden izlenebilir eurovision!İrlanda müziğine bayılırım ve bu şarkı da çok güzeldi.

Love from Turkey (L)

[123abcd1983]

i love irish music, but she wasn't in tune...

[PaulaPetal]

I think her nerves seriously got to her, i really liked the song until I heard her sing it on the night, cheers to Albania or whoever for giving us 6 points, so we didn't go home completely empty handed, bring back Linda or Johnny, and the Eurovision title will be back in Ireland once more! Where it has been more times than any where else, may I add!

[Silmaril11]

I totally agree with you. It made me so sad seeing (and hearing!) her there. The song is so beautiful and if she had sung it right (what I know she can), you should really have one that year, I hope Ireland will send traditional musicians again soon!

Greetings from Germany!

[xXxlaurxXx]

Baaha she was shit!! Dustin was deadly =D

[macamee]

Dustin was just shouting?

[xXxlaurxXx]

It was a laugh obv!!!

[macamee]

But still, he is going on TV with MILLIONS of people watching, representing the country; and what does he do? This.

[onirit]

i don't know very much about Irish music because i'm Spanish but i like it

[DAMECOLIN]

oh dear, this is just awful, bring back Linda Martin.

[szarufesu]

WTF?:D

[T7M7C]

Fucking Shit!

[MingeIt5]

I guess Cathy can't handle the big stage. Stick to the pubs my dear, tis where you are best :-)

[felschmidt]

i luv this song..!! all that traditional fiddle stuff is lovely :P

but seriously..good songs like this one don't have any chance..cause eurovision is a contest of crazy songs unfortunately. Look at this Lordy stuff or this exploded mirror ball from Hungary or whatever :P Perform the most embarrassing song and you'll win..I think the goal pretty changed over the years which is not good :(

[elefteriafire]

I am Greek, but I love it!

[steviegeire]

very nervous performance.

[XxXgerardsgalXxX]

im irish. and TOTTALY proud. and i love irish music and its usually amzing. but thats shite. WELL their all good but her vocals are sooooo off

[yorkyboy1992]

A Beautiful song but what can i say about the song -

OH DEAR ! Im biritsh so i vote for ireland but honestly she was great on that show you guys have to choose who you want to sing. i just think nerves got the better of her!

and it did get a bit cheesy with the swaying and then she got that drum out!

[panapple307]

Such a good song, but her singing was awful!

[EurovisionfanLT]

Very good song.

Thy thay were last? :( :(

[herrtha]

I feel so free and happy when I hear this song :D

I love Irish music

it is nice to listen to :D

[meliora76]

Omg, awful...

[canedtuna]

this is derbhis one of our grate irish

this is a song we are prund of!

i would aprecite it

if you dont call our music awful!

i dont call your music shit

so dont call mine!!!!!

[meliora76]

Excuse me, I have every right to express my opinion. They may be a great Irish band, but she couldn't sing for toffee here... she's cringingly awful. I remember thinking so when I watched it live along with family and friends, and we all felt the same as we were expecting Ireland to come on stage and belt out a classy ballad like you usually do. Sorry, but I'm a fellow Celt yet I can see that this is a terrible performance. Sorry!

[calculatrix]

I wouldn't worry about it, it IS awful. I'm Irish but i this is pure rubbish and a bad representation of good Irish music, its not just my opinion either, most of Europe agreed. Its no biggie anyway, who gets offended by the Eurovision? lol

[AdderSIG]

Yeah... this was a terrible entry. The act was just... just... wrong D:

[Tikkuja]

This is crap but i like this. Thats mean i listen crap:D

[WWEFanOfTimes]

I hate this song but stil have to listen :D

[minxbadge]

Brilliant Irish entry - the best since Eimear Quinn.... the song was misunderstood and those who critique her voice please listen to their songs/videos and you will understand their style. I saw them in Olpmpia in Dubln and they blew me away

[ryanwexford]

possibly our worst performance in esc stage after chris doran and donna&joe :), this was ok before the esc i think, and dervish are a great band

[karengrace93]

The song's not bad but she just can't sing! I'm not surprised we came last...

[shellierebel]

terrible

[MatIrish]

dervish arent a bad group but this is a bad performance by them in my opinion

[coracleman]

And this came last?? Jeez, can't wait to hear all the other songs from that contest if a song of this quality came last, they must be good or is it maybe something to do with politics again? Nah!!!!!!

[giostr8]

i absolutely agree!!its sooo great

[15XG]

@coracleman  YEP you're soooo right !

[MatIrish]

i like trad music but this wasnt good

[jaydoggy6]

couldn't agree more =)

[Eddycoolkid]

she is showing us that ireland is a peaceful country that wish not 2 fight

and besides they only put acts in becuz we cant afford it

but this is the best song

[skunktail6]

I must admit I was waiting for some dance beat to break in.

Seriously though I thought this was a very good song and didn't deserve to come last, that stupid airplane song did.

From Ukraine!

[julijusn]

wonderful Irish song

[flange2000]

She kind of reminds me of how I dance when I'm really bolloxed drunk.

[KShap]

This song does not show what Ireland is about come on!The song is shit. She's go, its way too low for her voice!she has a class voice and the music is good but come on, whats with the lyrics!!And what the hell is with her dancing?

[expatdk]

Next year will come a jury... hopefully all the two last years shame will stop, otherwise Eurovision is dead, France, Ireland, UK or other western european countries will just leave!

[IrishCritic]

why the hell are the ratings high on youtube for Ireland and we come last, i don't get it. europeans probably like it but we'll never know coz they feel they have to vote for their neighbours.

[expatdk]

Well Eastern European don't use youtube probably... the music is nice, no way it deserved to be last, but in the East they may prefer crapy techno-dance, pop-rock that has no taste

[Azzazzello2007]

Well, it is ironic that you say Eastern Europeans don't use youtube, given that you are watching the footage from Russian TV broadcast (note the commentary in the first few seconds). But you are right about everything else.

[ringwormts115]

pity she came last it wasnt a bad aul song but the eurovision want crazy songs like lordi n ruslana n da likes

[happy5643]

i love this song!

it shows what ireland is all about

[1204finish]

well ireland i loved this song and i voted for you may ireland have another win! from the uk. xx

[sineaddeburca]

Cathy Jordan has a wonderful voice, but I'll admit this is not a good representation of her or Dervish. Check her out in this video:

Dervish - An t-Úll (Cathy Jordan performing in a pub)

[yello34x]

haha hippy power!!!

lol jesus dustin was better than this... nahh joking its nice and irishie but like its not going to win but we probly woulnt win because off all the voting yok ahh well

[RawJobber]

nah it was never goin to win because it was out of tune - blatently - good song though, shame about the performance

[sineaddeburca]

I'm shocked that Cathy Jordan was so out of tune with this song. She has one of the best voices in Ireland. Maybe she couldn't hear herself or something. I have about 5 Dervish cds and they're great. Check out this video:

Dervish - An t-Úll (Cathy Jordan performing in a pub)

[Jeffhardyzno1fan]

id like to change my opinion lol

eh the song is good but other countrys hate ireland cos der jelious of our good looks...we wuda won if the countrys wuda been more cool.......lol.....goood song!!!!!!!!!! IRA IRA IRA

[Jeffhardyzno1fan]

[Damdiea2]

[qastol]

Lovely song! Dustin sucks, this is music!:D

[emiliukas123]

[dafhguol]

[recurveshooter]

These Represented us very well last year they really displayed our culture!!

Well Done Lads!

Pitty We didnt get the votes!

They Done Really Well!!!:)

[smurkledunk]

I beg to differ!

[TotallySimmin]

Songs like a lullaby. Not exactly a Eurovision song. GO DUSTIN!

[UKLadNathan89]

Her performance lacks any spark. She looks bored up there

[paddythetinker]

im from ireland and this is absolute dribble, dustin beats this by a mile

[iloveharrypotter20]

A setimental and lovely song! I love it

Greeting from UK and Germany

[xxhotstuffxxx]

id love to meet who sent dis crap 2 the eurovision its gettin worse evert year wot happened to our title of winning the most? dat will be gone soon thanks 2 all this rubbish haha!!!!!!

[MonaghanDude]

Fuck me its da 21st century, nd were still singing shite lik dis, Jaysus christ lik look at finland and Lordi...... Wat Legends..............

[chalibeth]

a lovely song talking about peace!greetings from greece

[AlanHSkinny]

Actually listening to this song again it wasn't that bad

[deathtothebunnies]

shes a tinker

[allstars1995]

she hasnt got a fkin note in her head ! geting worst every year ! and to think we were so good all through the years .we won like five or six times before !

[caelum12345]

actually this song is rubbish and im from dublin!!!

COOOOOOOOME ONNNN DUSTIN!!!!

[fern244]

Ya same. They brought embarassment to Ireland. Dustin in the top 5 for sure!!!!!

[shaneisgod]

as long as we dont come last il b happy

[fern244]

Yah true!

[UKLadNathan89]

OMG This is so dated

[ruudisss16]

I only discovered this song long after Eurovision 2007 was over. But anyway, to my mind, one of the best songs from year 2007! She didn't sing as good as serbian singer, but song was better! For sure!

[Hikaritchi]

ARE THIS JOKE ????!!

[JMFVelada]

No, this is not a joke. This is an AWESOME and really underrated song. Do you want to know what a joke is? Dustin the Turkey, this year's Irish entrant, IS a joke!

[setheurovision94]

Absolutely agree. It was just Dervish's vocal that really put me off, and probably most other people as well. In the studio version this is a very pleasant song.

[Hikaritchi]

SOrry 8>

[eurosonggek]

i think this is beautifull music although she didnt perform very well

[scraiclads]

its was done better in ireland!!but there stilll good!!

[Razozie321]

Flatter than the flattest pancake ever made

[SianMycock]

I loved this song! It was so positive given the recent EU expansion. I voted for this to win, although I think I was the only person in the UK who liked it!

[payneismyblade]

GO ON YA GOOD TING! CMON DUSTIN!!!!!!

[LinnanPihalla]

This is world lovely song!!!! And sing is beautyful!

[ReydePakistan]

I love this song... Dervish = the best :D

[gregorymahony]

IRELANDE DOUZE POINTE!

[justinecher80]

poor song , poor dustin and poor ireland ...!

[alias609]

I bet millions of Europeans had their insomnia cured that night

[UKLadNathan89]

this is so 1600s

'We dont need a party'. looks like you do lol

[EscIreland]

SnowWhiteQueen28 - YOU DID'NT SEEM TO HELP US IN THE VOTING THO DID U! lol

[PhatJay999]

i was fcukin embarresed t b irish wen i seen this....the fcukin state of them...come on dustin :D

[billiscious]

This was one of my favorite song at the contest. THis makes me so happy, and it gives me power for waiting summer..

[SnowWhiteQueen28]

I like it:) it's nice and makes me happier:)

Greet from Poland:)

[chrisuk1994]

we dont need no party just a party band..mmm

we dont need no tone deaf band, just some head phones and a shotgun

[faithinlife]

far better than englands song...makes me ashamed to say i'm british. althoguh it might have done better wiht someone else singing it

[leftydabest07]

still. nice to hear it on st patricks day

[BeckiieWalshx]

This is so embarrasing lol! This is not what irish music sounds like!

Lol shes not a very good singer!

Dustin will do much better this year!

[TORRES2LIVERPOOL]

i cant beleive this finished last i guess europe wasnt ready for some TRUE irish music anyone agree ?

[iluvrock123]

no, this isnt real irish traditional music. Im a trad musician and believe me we don't dance like that or dance with our instruments. PLease don't judge irish music on this eurovision entry, Irish music is fantastic and not a bit like this.

[ReidIsla]

She can play the boran fantastically!

[ruadhangm]

Im irish and i think this is bad, maybe hear this in a local pub but not eurovision standard at all!

[BOBLOL00]

my friend in ur local pubs you play much better than this, i know

[Ah4fecksakemoira]

i like her

[FamousTina]

Sorry to interrupt but I think the conversation needs some realistic view - ok, alright song, alright.......voice, however we came last...........  So what do we have to lose this year with dustin the turkey?????? nothing!

[chiefofsages]

Good song, poorly performed. The recorded one sounds much better.

[Flod92]

This song is sounds perfect! Go Ireland.

Greetz from Sweden.
