Ireland 2010: Niamh Kavanagh - It's For You

[IrishfanofDH]

we all thought we wod win for sure with this one lol

[Hollybushable]

Thats my last name!! My family come from ireland (great song!)

[Feuerbach92]

This song was so beautiful and she has got a awesome voice the best female voice on the Eurovision Song Contest 2010

With this voice she deserves more than only the 23rd place

This year I wish Jedward with Lipstick all the best and a top10 result perhaps more

Best of luck from Germany

[joeykid24]

It would have won back in the nineties for sure, ah well....

[mazzakins]

Good,but not good enough

[mmcytb]

it should have been in the top 10 

[Kaneyoshi1968]

Powerfull voice, a awesome song and beautiful lyric. The best song from the Eurovision Song Contest 2010

[siaripop7]

Very good song....very good voice....however her winning performance in 1993 had more feeling in it.....and, even though I hate to say it, less weight! Don't take this the wrong way......the audience does judge on looks as well as talent, whether we want to admit it of not.

[escodayuk]

shit song i know how song bad from uk but was more shit

[aorkc]

what a fabulous voice and a fabulous irish treasure. she should have won the eurovision, she at least deserved better points, 

[theburningrasher4]

i thank all the poeple who liked this song

i am from ireland and congrades to lena

if you see this i loved lena but as an irish man

i love ireland and ireland have it the most times so

maybe naet year

[melzarmine]

one of the best songs

[melzarmine]

i love it



[fillysue]

wow geniale schöne stimme

[FreddyCarter]

By far the best song, by far the best sung!

[sprudelwasser69]

Best song for me, even though I loved Lena's performance.

[ytytytov]

4 words: SHAME OF EUROPE again.

[curlysue27]

nice song but not quirky enough unfortunately.

[Mor102]

FUCK! IT'S SUCH A GOOD SONG! AND I'M NOT FROM IRELAND!! IT SHOULD HAVE TOOK AT LEAST 2ND PLACE!!!

[melzarmine]

@Mor102 that is wel said

[guitarevan]

Compared to the german and turkish songs this was nowhere near as catchy and is just boring. We deserved where we came.

[sharon007]

Niamh should have won last night it was the best song of the night

[KARLIEOCONNOR]

niamh was robbed last night she should have won it i can say thanks to her im proud to be irish cause ever year we send some one shit and she is the only one that has showin the rest the world thay we do have winners in our country well done niamh xxxxx

[piomurphy]

ireland 12 points!!

great song, great voice!

hold on ...!

[messierthirtyone]

Eurovision organizers, don't you ever put the contest on Saturdays, Europe is drunk Saturdays night! There's no other explanation on how this did not come into the top5!

Greetings from Romania!

[darepow]

Beautiful song. One of the best this year, she's such a lovely singer.

Greetings from Australia (and also a Norwegian in Australia). We loved her!!

[Checonilla]

wow, so strong voice! I really like it!

[Schokiihasen]

I Love this song :)

[K11KING]

wow, her voice is so amazing...i dont know why she didnt win ??? she is one of the best... greetings from MOLDOVA

[divancik79]

i liked the song and interpretation very much..clear that it doesnt fit to win song structure in eurovision..still, i like niamh. xx from slovakia.

[Sailorsunrise1]

Vor me the best Song.

12 Points From Germany goes to Irelang

*Winner of the Hearts*

[traceyamber]

@Sailorsunrise1 thank you Germany, i think Niamh was a classic singer and sang a very touching song

[Archermit]

this is my first time heaering the song, it snot the worst we have entered ever and a mile better than last year. but we failed to get anywhere again. It looks like our reign over the eurovision is over forever

[divancik79]

yes i did.:))

[Nascarrrrrrfan]

We are getting nowhere fast! Im watching the contest right now and ireland are like 6 points down! Did any of you who does NOT live in ireland, give Niamh the vote?

[opps295]

nil point irland!!

[Erserz]

mikey graham should have gotten through i still think... even if she wins xD still a good song though but have to go with Mikey <3

[noelennis1]

Best song and best singer in the entire contest, well done Niamh and best of luck

[somostern]

wunderschön...kloppt lena und ihr albernes gehoppse in die tonne...

[mesh5very]

The only thing stopping Irish people from been confident about us winning is the unfairness in the voting system!!!Please vote for the best song and not for your neighbours otherwise this competition is pointless!!!Best of luck Niamh all I can say is that you have already done us proud and your fantastic whether you win or lose we cant do anything about block voting;therfore we know if we dont get any votes why that is!!!vote for Ireland!:):)

[49305]

I think these are the best singer and the best song in the ESC 2010. I'll root for Ireland.

12 points from Russia

[zBloodD3monz]

I'll be surprised if this doesn't do well.

[katemaria]

good luck for tonight niamh. do us proud

[Hlodvig]

OMG

It is boring...

0 points from Russia

[greengirl081]

As usual its a producer ireland needs not a singer!

[SuzieMaster]

She is to BAD for Eurovision? She sang horrible in ESC, she didn't reach many tones.... Very bad I must say...

[slava1m]

Good voice, mediocre song. Most of the people can listen to this song dozen times but next day they won't be able to reproduce the tune. Be honest people - this song is too mediocre for Eurovision.

[dessamsitivenson]

wow, same song 8 years in a row. shame on you ireland

[Leenanne95]

@dessamsitivenson  What do you mean same song 8years in a row?

[oranview17]

@dessamsitivenson you my friend are an idiot

[padwenda1]

@dessamsitivenson You are right, always the same song! I mean this is identical to dustin the turkeys douze points!

[bruceleeC64]

@dessamsitivenson hey sarcy relax

[SuperSuperaman]

or lise lois she has nice voice to.

NETHERLAND!

[robbietheblue]

beautiful brings tears to my eyes... good luck niamh!

[brandonlovesmonkeys]

I fucking hate the way Irish people hate this like wtf we all think we english these days fucking dopes i hate it in ireland

[gtufty789]

she got to lose that backing singer if she has any hope... UP IRELAND!!!

[4743stephenf]

What a song!

[4743stephenf]

Plz vote europe!!

[diarmuid496]

we shoulda sent dustin again and again and again and again ... eurovision is so gay......... they should just have drag artists dress up .. europe is broke and we are still wasting millions on this crap ..

[brandonlovesmonkeys]

@diarmuid496 Don't watch it then thicko.

[shanem5130]

@diarmuid496 ur RETARDED

[stevenandtraceyful]

we should of sent jedward.......not messing

[RoccaKel]

TERRIBLE

[brandonlovesmonkeys]

@RoccaKel So is your face.

[KatheyAA]

This is sooo irish! I will always vote for ireland! Love ireland!

[KatheyAA]

Omg!!! I love Irish music.....It melts me completely! So beautiful!

[pinkcookie1969]

@KatheyAA I am from the UK and I backed this song so much, I was so sure it would win, this would have won years ago when it was just the West in the contest, I was so gutted when it didn't win. Niamh just has the most beautiful voice. xxxx

[andrewmcmahon96]

@pinkcookie1969 thanks

[Nascarrrrrrfan]

@pinkcookie1969 I share your pain mate. As an Irishman I had faith in this song. Irlande Douze Pointe was just Epic fail 12X. But this...............this was one of the best we had to offer. Now if the lads in RTE can just build on that, we might have a chance!

[jajceboy]

Niamh is a good singer, but I find it stupid when former winners return and then sings the exactly same song as they did last time. At least change genre or something...

Niamh is a good singer and the song is good and will qualify, but In your eyes was better. This reminds me of her previusly song..

[dreampinball]

This song is so much better than last year.I like the thin-flute,that is so Irish, I like that.This song is so much better than our Dutch song. Belgium has also a great song !!!

Good Luck Ireland !!

[emhds]

@dreampinball Yeah, I' m voting for Belgium too, loooove Tom Dice

[Cuannaruin]

I cannot believe we're sending someone who sings out of tune to the Eurovision.

[Nascarrrrrrfan]

If this doesn't see us through, I don't know what will. Best of luck Niamh. The entire 26 counties of Ireland are behind you, mostly Cork. NIAMH KAVANAGH ABU!!!

[igeltierXLD]

Believe in this magic! ...

There is a magic! Greetings and 12 points from Poland...

Her voice is a beauty!

I cannot believe that we'll have such a beautiful voice on eurovision!

[aishlingmyles]

cum on ireland we cn do it.. best of luk to al de countrys

best wishes frm dublin

[dunlaoghaire]

pants!

[ilacman]

Good luck Niamh

[501GuyBerlin]

My vote from Germany you have-for sure! Good luck this year to Ireland!!!

[Inpromptu20]

from 1:03 sounds like titanic :D

[croftonjohn]

Ireland's best effort since Brian Kennedy. Niamh has the voice,experience and the x factor to pull it off. Miissychick is right. Keep it simple and the song will shine through . Good luck. Germany is good too. Its important that everyone enjoys the night for what it is.Good luck Niamh

[traceyamber]

Ireland looks like it will win this year. Brilliant song and singer,wonderful words to this song alot of heart and soul,the makings of a proper song. 12 Points to Ireland.

[Mooncross93]

love irish music... and i agree this music and singer is not made for Eurovision! Believe in a good voice

When I cry ...its for the lonely :)

[jimObebek]

12 points GOES TO TURKEY & MANGA

WONDERFULLLLL

[numb15]

@jimObebek no turkey isn't as good as Ireland, Ajerbaijan or Germany this year

[bnmusicmad]

Do European People Think She Is Good?! PLEASE VOTE! We Never Do Well :(

[501GuyBerlin]

@bnmusicmad

My vote from Germany you have this year. I've fallen in love with this great song. All the best of luck to Ireland from Berlin!!

[OinkOinkMr]

Beautiful song and a very good voice!

I really hope that this year a really good SINGER wins

 Greetz from the Netherlands

[mazzakins]

love Niamh Kavanagh,hope she does well.

[gintunas]

good luck from lithuania! great voice :}

[KennnnnnyTucky]

Nice song. If she nails the vocals well on the night it could do very well. Yeah agree the outfit on this vid doesn't work...looks like some tarty thing from an adult store. She needs a classy, classic long dress. Her hair could do with being a bit curlier on top. Great to hear her again. Good luck.

[FinalFayt]

I love this song and her voice, but I dont like lookin like her. She is so strange for some reason... strange performance, dress etc.

[mollyds]

what a brilliant song ireland 12 points

[Sexypig30]

Its a good song but she was a bit off note sometimes. I dont think it will get very far... look at it from a foreign point of view. I really hope I'm wrong though.

[DurtDurty]

shit song were fucked

[traceyamber]

@DurtDurty you really dont know a true classic and beautiful song then when you hear one, and the singer is amazing, Ireland 12 points

[wishmaster198]

@DurtDurty yes :p

[c64c64c64]

stick her in a nice bright green dress, and put a few smiling little red headed kids on stage and its in the bag! :)

[rebelabu]

best of luck niamh powerful

[IrelandESC2010]

As long as she doesn't wear something like that at Eurovision we have a chance!

[Ron000Weasleey]

nice , peaceful song, VOTE FROM POLAND :)

[funkyfuk]

AMAZING SONG this year but the bridge where song lifts shes GOTTA tidy up the vocal its messy! Sorry im a singer just notice these things BUT Amazing Singr & AMAZING song we just cud do it this year !

[IrishHorror]

Just like every year, we'll probably have political voting in Eurovision. If it was by talent, having watched them all, ireland should win, however, the way irelands economy is in rite now, i dnt think it culd cope hosting it...lol! But go IRELAND!!

[xshander]

amazing singer and song!! i think she´ll win. Good luck from Spain!

[mollyds]

amazing song this deserves to be the winning song Ireland 12 points

[Ticoshay]

In Top 10 <3

[FinalFayt]

Sounds like Norways song this year.... bet they will take votes from eachother and no of them will win, i love this song tho. <3 :)

[messiforfcb]

Go Ireland.

But they need to get rid of the three tone-deaf cats in the back.!

Go Niamh!

[haulas]

Yea.. now everyone has to have some instrument... Rybak's Monkeys

[Mischi2k]

This is like thousand times better than Germany's Song. Hope she wins. Greetings from Germany :)

[sross85]

I'm from the UK and this should be the winner!! Dublin 2011!! It's the best song by a mile in the contest!!

[Progressive75]

Great singing, Niamh - you may just restore Ireland to the pedestal which is rightfully its own in singing. However, a piece of advice: find better backup singers, and change the key near the end - it's too sad and depressing near the end (or perhaps its just that combination of voices which creates the effect).

[avshalom999]

What a great voice!! My favorite right now! Good luck from Israel

8th for Ireland and 2nd for Niamh?..... It might be the only reason she won't win again

[traceyamber]

What an amazing song and singer, Ireland 12 Points.

[0MusicNewsNow0]

I can't help but think, the Irish get worse every year, but this year they've imporved, but i'm from england and i was so dissapointed witht his years song, this year we've taken a step back, United Kingdom say hello to last place, Ireland, good luck.

[mhtsos190]

this is a possible winner song.ireland should be proud of this entry

[milanariestaurus]

hey people of RTE You really do not want to win, or what is in ?...

Ireland is worst and worst each year...this year is a surprise...nice song, but far away of winning ESC...

[starboy55]

We are flying over on semi final night for you Niamh. Proud Proud Proud xxx

[neriku2]

amazing ireland......................

[MRForssander]

its nice. Great Ireland.

[1234howrya]

The 1st song should of been sent. And she was hot unlike this

[Kisie60]

Great voice, wonderful song, I'll vote for Ireland this year ! ;-)

Greetings from Germany

[dardanoilir]

sweet, greetings from albania

[mikieb01]

I like it but its a bit old fashioned and i hope niamh will sing it better in oslo. If you compare ths with the studio version she is completly out of tune towards the end..Personally i dont think well win or place in the top 5 whch is a shame cos we have at least tried to send a good song for the first time in 10 years..

[matiasthalia]

Excelente cancion!!!!!!!! top 10

[cvetzjuga]

"It's for you" is incomparable to Didrik's son c'mon there are better ballads before Didrik's song... Only Georgia (and a bit Sweden) could be Ireland's rival this year in ballad category

[glamrockins]

I agree, Niamh Kavanagh and this song is too good for eurovision

[sked79]

boring

[MadOnLiving]

@sked79 - The song is ANYTHING but boring. Some people are saying that about Didrik!! Personally I like Norways's song but even though I am biased coming from Ireland I would prefer Niamh/Ireland. But I wish Norway the BEST of luck this year. I am sure you will be in the Top 5 with Ireland.

[1234howrya]

@sked79 Agreed

[Geldwurst]

i'm sure we can win with this song

from an irish in germany ;)

[911975]

Wonderful NIAMH and wonderful new song! She,s between my favorites singers of Eurovision,s history and "In your eyes" was one, high quality song. Niamh has got a really great voice and special sweetness-sensibility in her performances. I wish Ireland win again this year.

12 points from Galicia (Spain).

[TheBillythefish]

Song is too good for Eurovision. Niamh Kavanagh is too good for Eurovision. Powerful Voice.

[pinkcookie1969]

@TheBillythefish I love this, I am from the UK, but not going to bet on us, I am going to bet on this instead as I am sure this can win, I love Irish music, so comforting and soothing, GO ON NIAMH YOU CAN DO IT FOR IRELAND AGAIN, I AM ROOTING FOR YOU!

[wolfman8325]

@TheBillythefish true, but it wont stop all the scandinavian countries and eastern european countries voting for their neighbours and making the competition a complete farce.

[Kirsche28]

zum träumen

[aganirok]

Is the instrument Irish low D tin whistle?

[itsoliversmusic]

this song is DEFINEATELY gettin through this year - the jurys are voting in the semi-finals this year, and the UK get to vote in the semi-final ireland are in - douze points! not from your neighbours, but for the song. :D

[jovanovicmilan]

seen so many times. She thinks this is

90s

[leathuru]

@jovanovicmilan

You make it sound like a bad thing. Music does not progress: it goes around in circles. :-)

[Ninny3737]

This is way better than her winning song. I keep my fingers crossed.

[miliabayhotelapts]

nice flute,

nice voice,

andreas,greece.

[claud281188]

well, it has something from eastern europe ballads,serbian kind of...but it lacks power! look at serbia 04, 07,08 or BH 06 how much passion there is and powerfull performances! its still nice tho..i like the flute part most!

good luck from romania!

[leathuru]

@claud281188

Marija Serifovic's song was the quintessintial ballad and was so brilliantly performed. Thank God it won't be in the contest this year. No-one else would have a chance. I think this is our (Ireland's) best chance in many years. Who knows....?

[tealek83]

ireland at its best!!!

[barcelonagirl15]

ireland has great singers and she is incredible!!

good luck

[jenniejenjen86]

This girl always sings out of tune. In your eyes......out of tune consistantly in the ad lib. This song, no exception. For Gods Sake....sing in tune woman, it's a min requirement for a pro singer. No one would accept a musicion playing an untuned guitar. Not a great song either, hate the Irish flute bit. corney

[lelyte25]

12 points lithuania :)

[shamrocked]

Not what the Europeans go for it don't think it'll get out of the semi-final

[Biglew380]

I love the song. Hope it does well. but in fact i don't think the backing singers complement the actual song. Need to do something about that in my opinion.

[sarahdils]

she needs to sack her stylist! that outfit is terrible!!!!!

[MadOnLiving]

Great draw Niamh in the Semi Final

Fingers and Toes crossed that you make it to the final. Come whatever result you are doing us proud.

XX

[Nicolisse]

She has such a beautiful voice, goodluck to Ireland :)

[152569]

WOW!!!! This is so soothing!!! I love this song!!! I wish this song win this year!!!

[maeloul]

I am French And i Love Ireland !!! The most beautiful country In the world :D And this song makes me travel ! I love it, it's so IRISH :D

Good Luckkk for the contest !!

Gome On Ireland !

You have 12 points From France !

Ireland 12 points ! Ireland 12 points ! ;O)

[traceyamber]

This song is a classic like the lady singing it,also her backing singers are wonderful. In my opinion this should win the ESC 2010.Good Luck Niamh.

[TheMisLovely]

NIce... Serbia... :)

[cvetzjuga]

great song at least top10 in the final good luck Niamh!
