Nikki Kavanagh sings "Falling" Ireland Finals Eurovision 2011 11/02/2011

[OrphanAndy]

The dancers in this are hilarious! Were the doing it as a joke or something?

[Bille994]

Wow, lose the dancers

[SwelovesJedward]

Sry but I actually don't think that this song had gone further than Lipstick, I'm from Sweden and I can promise you that everyone that voted for Ireland in sweden, haven't done it if this song had won...

And it's not because it's bad, I think it's really good but there's soooo many slow songs in ESC and Jedward did well because they had an AMAZING performance with ALOT of energy!

Just saying okay :)♥



[declanbrian]

Drip Drop Part II

[TheWeirdWizard]

Stop say like that about John and Edward! they were amazing :O This song was toooo boring!

[SuperSurinder123]

@TheWeirdWizard You are very boring

[TheWeirdWizard]

@SuperSurinder123 Kinda cool that a person who doesn't know me says that ;)

[SuperSurinder123]

@TheWeirdWizard I only said that because you basically said a really good song was boring. Jedward can't sing, they can only entertain. That will only get you so far in the Eurovision.

[bobbyRing96]

id say this wud of done better than jedward :( stupid kids for voting for them

[villadbest]

Would it be allowed for her to enter next year with this song???

[cici6544]

She sang at my brothers wedding..sooooo AMAZING <3

[superjohnkeenan12]

come back next year!!!!!!!

[msqualityman]

I agree, Jeds song was what saved them, they are twats but the song was great. come back next year nicky!

[TheXmisterx88]

Jedward came 8th. Well done to them! Nikki give it another try! Nikki would have won if it wasnt jedward that was singing lipstick! Nikki repersent ireland with that song in baku plz!!!1

[Cooooocooooolate]

Well, I agree that Nikki is a better singer than John and Edward and this song may be good but it is just like all the other songs in esc and it doesnt stand out at all. Lipstick is at great song too, and it stand out so i think it was better that Jedward won ;)

[herecomesthebrides]

My first time watching it back...feels like years ago! I love the song but in fairness the boys did a super job & fair play to them, they deserve all their success!

[mcntkn]

Brilliant.

[NatAriete]

This is million times better than all the ESC performances of this year taken together. I wish she had been selected :( can't stop listening to this song...

[Evaaa897]

I think nikki should give it another try

[Chonlaya98]

hey nikki u look lovely like eden xxx

[msqualityman]

Nikki Kavanagh wipes the FLOOR with those tuneless twats! We need her in Baku next year. Rte pick Nikki & 5 songs & let the public pick the best. Lipstick was great song but the boys couldnt carry a tune in a bucket, Bv's saved them! Go nikki go nikki we love u!

[PS3legends100]

I know her, lives in mah town :P GR8 singer

[eurovizyon]

She would have won this year... Better that this years winners and all TOP5 I think. Amazing voice, powerful song. I wish she returns next year.

[Evaaa897]

I kinda agree but if it was all about block voting why didn't Armenia qualify?and why would Germany have won last year? Azerbaijans song definitely wasn't the best

[Evaaa897]

She must try again next year..jedward did Ireland proud. This girl would have done Ireland proud too so go for it again girl

[Evaaa897]

Go backkkkk

[djdaraghBCN]

This is less annoying than a Celine Dion song but only very very slightly.

I am not a fan of Jedward but at least they but their song is a lot of fun and their energy is contagious and we deserve a bit of cheering up.

This is the past two years of the Irish economy in a song.....

[friskis2011]

come back next year!

[ICEGrafixs]

I'd say it's because Ireland can't afford to host it and they no Jedward won't win so went with them... Father Ted - My Lovely Horse Episode all over again :P

[thesimpleone1000]

@ICEGrafixs i love father ted, but i also love jedward. they deserved to win

[Sexypig30]

@ICEGrafixs If RTÉ don't want to win then why did they even decide to enter and why did RTÉ spend €120,000 on their performance??? And it was the public voting that gave Jedward the oppurtunity to represent us not the jury... So stop being so negative and just accept that Jedward got through because they had the better song.

[MrSmyyyyth]

@Sexypig30 Puh-lease. Jedward has the better song? WROOOOOOONG. The only reason Jedward got in to the Eurovision is because they had their teenage fangirls text in there votes. It's like the X-Factor, Lyold Daniels stayed in so long, even though he wasn't to the standards of the other finalists because of his girl fanboys. Nikki Kavanagh got the majority of the Jury vote, because she was better. It's like the Eurovision, you don't vote for who you think was the best. Continued..

[MrSmyyyyth]

@Sexypig30 You vote for whoever is good looking/famous/your neighbour countries.. It's not about talent anymore, it's about popularity. Now, get your hater ass off this video.

[Sexypig30]

@MrSmyyyyth I like this video... And it so happens that I like Lipstick too... We needed an up-beat catchy song to do well... There are plenty of other songs like Falling in the competition so it wasn't really going to stand out... Jedward did stand out and they will continue to do so... And thats why they're favourites

[MrSmyyyyth]

@Sexypig30 It doesn't matter what song is better. Jedward weren't favourites, France were. See how low they placed? It's all about where your country is located. Look at Italy, there song SUCKED worse than Moldova's. But they somehow emerged second. You may call it jealously, but other acts were 10x better than Azerbaijan.

[peaceandlovemotherfs]

@MrSmyyyyth I think France lost some votes because he sang the song in a lower key live. The studio-version was much more powerful. Therefor he lost my vote, France was actually my favourite..

[Sexypig30]

@MrSmyyyyth I know... It's a disgrace... All the block voting defeats the whole purpose of Eurovision

[losXavis]

@Sexypig30 I agree after watching it on Saturday that most countries vote for their neighbours but Azerbaijan have very few countries bordering them and if you look over the last 4 years the best song has won..... Although Jedward should have won this year :)

[Sexypig30]

@losXavis Oh yeah good point... But Azerbaijan wasn't the best song and I'm not just saying that but there were a good few better ones and Azerbaijan is still influenced by all the other Eastern European countries

[ICEGrafixs]

@Sexypig30 Because its a europe competition and Ireland have to enter and the Irish people would be pissed if they didn't enter, and no they didn't get threw because they had the better song, I agree with @MrSmyyyyth that all the little fangirls texted them threw, and Nikki won on the Jury vote with people who no a lot more about good music.

[morrybo12]

Bland song, jedward have a huge chance to finish top 5 or even win

[Chopstickplus]

@morrybo12 Joking right? HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... just no.

[kassia071]

@morrybo12 they wont win just coz i said so.. im the god

[NatAriete]

Gorgeous song and singer! It's a pity that freaks were qualified instead :(

[Kiri1909]

Good Song but not enough for ESC...

[Josieluvsyou]

someone get those dancers of the stage plsssssssssssssssss :s, God help us if we actually get to finals

[Dropdeadfamous1]

@Josieluvsyou you no she didnt get through right?

[IncubusKevuk]

very gorgeous but too slow a song to win it.

[TheDARA7]

fianna fail suck.

[ReVeKkAkavala]

Is she greek?

[JohnBuckley1989]

If some unfortunate accident (cough) or something should happen to Jedward. Would she represent us??? Hmmmmm, it'd nearly be worth it.

[msqualityman]

@jedwardrepub-GICK! yawn, we will see in two weeks, Jedward are soooooo not going to win!

[Chicki501]

This so should have went through to respresent Ireland, it would have qualified and done reasonably well,instead we now have the horrendous jedward who will be an absolute disaster.

[hadders81]

10 peeps are Jedward fans! Best song at this years NSC!!

[ShevoMusic97]

Was she with Niamh at last years?

[msqualityman]

Everytime I listen to this I cringe that Jedward beat her??? Cant believe it, she was just amazing. Nikki please come back next year!

[paulieIRL]

how this song didn't win il never know, instead of those 2 fuckmonkeys.

[patrickY619]

this was fixed she was clearly the best it would lethal to score another euro vision title 2 make it 8 but i can't see it happening with neighbours vote 4 each other and 4 us to vote in jedwards which in my opinion can't sing and annoying i cant believe i am goin 2 say this gud luck to Britain at least they have some1 who can sing

[brandonlovesmonkeys]

@patrickY619 dislike



[patrickY619]

@brandonlovesmonkeys wat part of my comment do u dislike ?

[waendilion1]

sounds a bit like robbie williams in the beginning

[MsOrlaithDarcy]

she honestly doesnt need them stupid scruffy backing singers and dancers they should have stripped the performance completely alone she would have been amazing]

[dylanioi1]

god shes a ride :O

[bartek212701]

She Should Winner !!!!! :( lipstick is shit :(

[freak123698]

this is more of a eurovision song but noo we send two virgin twins who boop about like they are on drugs!! (nat saying they do drugs) like realy ireland have won the eurovision the most out of any countries ever buh ni thanks to these two pricks well nat get tht status back arghh shame on u for who ever voted for jedward this is whatthe world will think is the best we have thoses two nikki should have gone in for us!

[MrAlino11]

Is she related to Niamh Kavanagh? I love her... Jedward are really crap.. I didn`t like them in the X factor and I still don`t like them:)

[djdd18]

Is it just me or is that back up singer useless and overpowering!!!

[TheXmisterx88]

people keep saying that this song is like azerbaijains song last year. Thats a good thing!

[apresimage]

zivce0000 - some words (only 500 characters allowed):

I could live everyday in denial

I could stray through teh night like a firefly

I could try to forget all the memories but I would rush to the gound like a waterfall

Cause if you leave me I won't love again, I might seem fine but inside I feel like drowning

When you look me in the eye you seem so far away, I'm trying to pretend that I will be ok. I can't love if you leave me, I'm falling, falling

So tell me why you won't see me, I'm ..

[993carrie]

nikki has a brilliant voice and all but it would have been a mistake sending her though cuz her song is boring we've sent through this stuff every other year and ended up with 10 points :L >:( we might as wel give it a go and the other countries dont take to shrinking violets thats all im saying :P jedward FTW:D

[sel5972]

I was in Tenerife last week and she was singing at a karaoke bar. I got a bigger cheer!

[zivce000]

can somebody write me the lyricsPLEASE,im not englisch and i cant hear all the words clearly!!!

[craicbaby]

Why didn't she win? Why the hell did Jedward win?

[JacobGotNeutered]

This should've won. Not crappy Jedward. Stupid Tweens voted, people who don't even watch Eurovision. they voted because they are like sheep and follow what theyre told, like PlanetJedward "made" and "demended" people to vote via twitter etc.

[Kingcosie]

yeah we have a great country with an excellent eurovision history and we send jedward. dustin wasnt bad enough, donna and joe were class and now jedward. should have been nikki or don mescall, equally a great song. 12 year old girls are dictating who we send to eurovision now. were any of them alive for our last eurovision win?? SHAME IRELAND. NIKKI OR DON EITHER ONE NOT JEDWARD

[europemale]

i wish ireland chose this song :(

sorry but how can u choose jedward who cant sing live

she has such a nice voice and song.

this would have been top10 in final

[zivce000]

@europemale i like this song more too ;D

but good luck with jedward

greetings from Macedonia!

[morrybo12]

@europemale I think you might regret making this comment :) , jedward so popular in germany , and now 4th favorite to win

[europemale]

@morrybo12

LOL

[ac14710]

@morrybo12 2nd favourite*

[kassikangas]

@europemale But Jedward were in top10.. And they sang well actually :D Eurovision is full of songs like this Falling thing. A pretty face+decent voice. Even the dress is typical Eurovision. Jedward was the perfect choice:D

[Varlume]

Why did Jedward get through? Nikki is waaaayyyyy better than those two lipstick lovers.

[TheXmisterx88]

i new it! The person who produced this song was from AZERBAIJAIN!

[snozzla]

shame on u ireland for not sending this

[Tessapopcorn]

i like it !

thumbs up from germany!

[G00200135]

@Tessapopcorn This song didnt win!

[Twilight19922008]

she's not related to the woman who sung last year is she?

[xDRickiexD]

lena - taken by a stranger ;***

[Ffwoa]

good song. but it had no chance of winning. Jedward have the ability to entertain to an international audience. well people who have a sense of humor!!! its fun!

[rincewindesluggage]

I think this is a proper song, with a proper singer who is going to do ireland far more proud in the long term that Jedward can ever hope of doing. Those dancers were a terrible mistake, shocking in fact. Plus I think there will be loads of songs like or similar to this one at Eurovision. Its not always (or rarely) about good songs at Eurovision and Jedward, this time, despite being the weakest vocally of the five Irish songs, have a much better chance of winning the thing or at least doing well

[agromental]

I think it's the dress...

[BumfuzzledZeb]

WHY Ireland!? You had this, yet you chose Jedward? >:(

[Shemesis]

@BumfuzzledZeb Believe me. A lot of us are asking the same thing. Crying even that Jedward got through.

[GrahamPhelan]

Hey this song is on iTunes now! I dowloaded it the other day! Nikki is great! Hope she gets a career from this!

[noAngel0666]

This song was better than jedward ...=(

[chileepengwin]

This song is really good, could have done really well if it won.

[TheXmisterx88]

i fucken hate jedward! this song should have won by far! i guarntee u this song would have qualified and made the top 10 in germany

[Sexypig30]

How ironic would it be if she tripped over her train!!! What were the two dancers doing there??? They were shit it seemed like they were making up their moves as they went along, Lena won with only backround singers, no dancers!!!

[msqualityman]

Love it more & more, just downloaded on iTunes too, its a gem!

[joeykid24]

this definitley should have won, instead of those tuneless pricks

[steviegeire]

loved this

[marksmanb727]

this would have easily won, has someone else has said it is like an improved version of drip drop, with a better singer and a epic key change in the middle, should be released as single :)

[oceanoverview]

Oh dear! Some people really seem to take this all so personally! Everyone entitled to an opinion but come on!!!! The comments and vitriol directed at people that you don't even know! What's that all about? You like the song or you don't. Leave it at that!

[iWeLDoHD]

Amazing Song Tbh "Sis" ;].... its asif ireland are trying to ruin there reputition by ruining uffers dreams and sending them 2 boner heads to sing about lipstick WTF? Sure them to arnt girls in desguise.. them probably fuckin bum each other backstage! This was the song for ireland!!!!!

[TheXmisterx88]

i am devasted that this song didnt win

I hope jedward dont qualify this year!

And i hope that jedward get a recording contract in america the same day as the eurovision so that they wont be able to entire in the eurovision and Nikki will repersent us with this fantastic song. Fuck Jedward the crap whores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!11

[Rodkilden]

damn, so more better that the winner. But both nr. 1 and 2 was made by danes. Go go Denmark. We have winners i every other country but Denmark

[sam22ish]

@Rodkilden what

[Tommylad2]

I just watched all the songs on youtube and this was only one I could actually enjoy and listen all the way through (had to stop a half way in for jedward it was that bad!!) this may not have won but at least were showing ireland has some singing talent!! like imagine this song with better sound system that ecos her voice throughout the venue, would have been amazing. Tho the dancers....slight over kill. Ireland just seems to want whats funny rather than whats good!!

[ytubearian]

It's similar to drip drop it a lot of ways, the song, the dress, the steps. Great song tho, hope Nikki tries again next year.

[oceanoverview]

Wat da feic were those two eeegits doin' swanin' around da place! Had they never heard the song before? Like 2 different acts there! One singer and one choreographer who lost da plot! Nice song nothin' special, and she was shite last year as a backing singer changin' all da choreography that had been put in 'cause she couldn't cope! Too Stressed! Glad she failed! After that don't care who won but think Jedward song really catchy! And stop bithchin' da boys so personally! It's nasty!

[iWeLDoHD]

@oceanoverview shut the fuck up u ugly cunt! can you really sit there and say shes not good? Get a life you ugly fock!

[XXmaryXX214]

I dont exactly love jedward...but this is the same as every eurovision song from turky and azerbijan and so on...its not original..sorry

[marksmanb727]

@XXmaryXX214 have u noticed that those songs from turkey or azerbaijan always finish top 5 by any chance, this would have gotten a lot further than stupid jedward

[dermot1973]

If she took her kit off maybe

[jpgalway]

this is the song !

[TheBjg1980]

Oh dear!! Why didnt they send this song instead of those two monkeys who no doubt will make Ireland a laughing stock in the whole of Europe!! At least it wont be UK with nil points this year! Good Luck though, you will need it with those two dimwits! :/

[emmadignam]

@TheBjg1980 we already are a laughing stock within the rest of europe!! i thought this song was great but last year we sent Niamh and that was a brilliant song and a brilliant singer and we came near enough last!! why not send Jedward? were already a laughing stock and they cant do any worse than we did last year!

[Sexypig30]

@emmadignam Well they could not make it to the final :P... And your right we have at least 3 years to hold onto our record... Why not try something different???

[JAMESY2574]

wat the fuck is wrong wit this country? this girl wud have done far more times better than them ejit twins!!!!!

[Craig3966]

It was so unfair that Jedward won

[MrDINOA1]

Clearly this is the one that we should have sent to the Eurovision. Great singer with great stage presence and a really good song. Hopefully this lady will have a great future in music. True star quality.

[CastleknockDarragh2]

Yep and somehow the two fuckers are going instead of her... Thats a true sign that the country is down the shitter

[tgm250]

@CastleknockDarragh2 couldn't agree more nikki was way better but this country doesn't recognise talent I hope jedward are not allowed through

[Azeritable]

Yes absolutely seems like Azerbaijans entry 2010 Safura, dress and presentation and other things, but very good choice for Ireland song Lipstick, my favourite so far.

[ShaneNail]

what the hell were people thinkin not picking this song for eurovision? feck sake!

[Reykja19]

Congratulations Ireland for selecting those two retards with dyed hair

[zgorapol]

to ona była najlepsza!!!!

[msqualityman]

this was the best chance we had, jedward are crap, end of story! their backing singers (male) sang the entire song! they cant sing, they are mortifying. I am going to Dussledorf and supporting Norway, wouldnt associate myself with Jedward, the shame. As for the drip drop references? It sounds NOTHING like it but yes it does remind me of it somehow too. except this girl is waaay better a singer, much nicer a person in interviews and is our very own. bomb sligo, 8 points my arse.

[jakempson]

@msqualityman ........ going to Dussledorf to support......... Norway???? What a dreadful heap of rubbish that song is. Please try to find something a lot better than Norway to support in May. If you think Jedward are bad singers have a good listen to the Lady attempting to "sing" the Norwegian song!

[iWeLDoHD]

@msqualityman I Couldnt say it better myself! Sorry just have to say this but thats my SISTER xD

[tgm250]

@msqualityman Lucky wish I could go even If I wouldn't support Ireland.

[TheGiorgos11]

@msqualityman

are u irish?because u gotta explain me something..isn't this the sond that will represent in the contest?cuz if it's not...the people that voted must have been on smthng!!!

[Andreacelt]

@msqualityman

I agree with you a 100% she is wonderful, a great singer and she would have had a fantastic chance to win it for Ireland. I agree Jedward compared to her I would not vote for them. Good luck in Dussledorf.

[emmadignam]

@msqualityman i agree that Nikki's song was brilliant, but we sent a brilliant song and a brilliant singer last year and we came next to last! ok yeah Jedward are mortifying and cant sing but what have we got to lose? Ireland's status has gone down dramatically already thanks to our goverment so i dont think we should worry about our reputation, they jump around and are full of energy and are proud to be doing this for Ireland. i wouldnt be surprised if they win it! have fun in Dusseldorf! :D

[JedwardRepublic]

@msqualityman you wanted NIKKI to win? haha hate that I voted for Jedward =:) Their our best chance at winning, Nikki wouldn't stand a chance, sure Azerbaijan didn't win with drip drop and their sorrounded by countries on the map! It's a good song, but you need to put on a real show to win eurovision, you need to entertain! Now you can't say that Jedward don't stand out :)

[sassygirlie89]

omg xxxsaz13xxx i thought the exact same thing, it sounds very similar to azerbaijans song last year so therefore it has less of a chance of winning than other entries in my opinion! great song but u really dnt knw anymore, it still mightnt hav won the eurovision! the start of it sounds like dont stop believing! :D i dont care what anyone says jedward are different and interestin and thats what eurovision is all about!!!

[colm7657]

go for it again next year with this song

[187654327744]

this sounds like dat song!! why why why deliagh!!! ( i tink dats how you spell her name) haha!!!

[xxxsaz13xxx]

Great song but it sounds alot like azerbaijans entry last year..

[joeykid24]

@xxxsaz13xxx think of it as n improved version of 'drip drop'

[TheNiallmc100]

@xxxsaz13xxx just wat i was thinkin and the dress look like the same dress and she even looks like safura.......safura was on a platform aswell

[MrESheehy]

Don't get me wrong I love this song, but last year we sent a fantastic song of which Nikki was involved in, and we did dismally, what's wrong with giving Jedward a crack, there's no doubt Lordi couldn't sing but they still won.

[JohnBuckley1989]

this should have won, fucking voting system is a joke, how in the name of god did the judges in sligo give this only 8 points, fucking tools, we could have actually done well with this, but we prob wont even get out of the groups wit jedward.

[garrychelsea]

come on ireland you used to be great at eurovision but this year you picked those 2 twats, and whats with copying other peoples songs, this is drip drop and jedwards is womanizer,bring back the turkey

[littlemisscuddlesxx]

this is just a copy of safura she is a good singer but not this song

[bafoonful]

once again we have made a tarrible decision......great song and singer

[m4kkillottu]

Can't believe that great song didn't win! 12 points for Nikki from Italy!!!

[FilCroft]

Awesome...

[Alex4u]

Drip Drop??

[1BGrazyna]

Beautiful song.

[jamie9556]

Much better than Jedward i mean come one Ireland

[ZhaleevaLerka]

Very song...) 2 points (



[iWeLDoHD]

@ZhaleevaLerka FUCK YOU
