Eurovision 1990 - Liam Reilly - Somewhere in Europe

[ml77]

it seems the guy dont know the earth is more than just europe!

[wallywalm]

we came 2nd so not too bad

[citation237]

by far the best song on that competition during that year

[musicfreakme91]

i can imagine that he would have been quite a good looking young man... love this song

[maffism]

Ireland won the EuroV so many times due to the fact that we weren't Britain, and didn't take part in WWII, then we had an immensely moving high quality song like this, and got second.

[mtenor]

kim jackson should have sung this song then it would have won ;)

[desertcelt1]

;LOVE THE MAN, LOVE HIS SONG, LOVE KIM ALSO, BUT MUST OF ALL AS AN ANTRIM MAN DEEPLY LOVE AND AM DEVOTED TO BAGATELLE

[thegoodnamesrallgone]

Best Irish Eurovision entry ever

[phekach]

love the name of the singer - liam! beautiful name!

[duskoric]

my friend you are in wrong. all votes those years were given day before final night, to avoid some unregular things. voting on final night was just tv show, but no one judges knew what was result of other votes. for me this is best song this year, along with france, joel ursu

[61slowman]

This was the first Eurovision competition I watched. Sadly I remember the voting more than the music. But when Italy voted it gave Ireland, I think 8th place and France enough to move up with Ireland. Then they stop anwsering the host for a few minutes, audio problems of course. But then they gave their top points to a country that literaly doubled their total! Ireland got screwed and everytime I've ever watched it Italy isn't ready for the voting.

[dcl1958]

Unlucky to finish 2nd, excellent song was my fav at the time, but Italian song growing on me.

[erik6006]

Wonder why we not could se the conductor.

In all other countries this year we can se the conductor.

[Nikicastipica]

@erik6006 I have got a wonderful conspiracy theory about that, having to do with the impending Conductors' Strike of the 1990 festival. You'll have to wait for me to find the time to write Noel's bio for the website andtheconductoris.eu. You can already read about the strike in the bio of Stanko Selak, however.

[hiko718]

a wonderful song, i still love it after 30! years.

It is so easy to learn english with this song, he sings so understandable.

[esc4all]

@hiko718 21 years :)

[AmVidi]

Amazing!!!

[AmVidi]

Amazing!!! <3

[setenteromusic]

What a Great song!!!

[esc4all]

he was only 35 years old here wow...he looked at least 50

[madman24100]

where did it come?

[ktah26]

@madman24100 It finished in second place

[StewieGriffin2009]

One of the dullest audiences in Eurovision history.

[Colorshade]

@StewieGriffin2009 How so? :p

[StewieGriffin2009]

@Colorshade By virtue of the fact that they're incredibly dull.

[Nikicastipica]

I must have heard this song hundreds of times already and it still gives me goosebumps. Simply marvellous and better than Cutugno, although he had a good song as well.

[minas1321]

This beautiful song should have won the ESC that year. I didn't like Italian song a bit!!

[IrishKeshiHead]

it would be awkward if france and ireland got the top places back then...

[musicfreakme91]

this is seriously one of my favourite songs and im only 19

[conoraoife]

was certainly better than some of our songs that did win like rock and roll kids or the voice!

[mazzakins]

great song.........should have won!!It was a fix!!!

[moorhuhn1974]

irelands elton john - great!

[walshislandshamrocks]

Great Song.Should have won.

[Furienna]

A really good entry from Ireland. The high placing was much well-deserved.

[lostintimeline]

ireland should ve won with this song,absolutelhy perfect

[villy27]

@lostintimeline Yes a nice song, but Toto Cotugno deserved the win.

[SGMasters]

All of songs lyrics in 1990 talk about politics....it was the best year ever!!!

[Gutex77]

best ireland Eurovision song ever

[hickeyboi2009]

did he say"ireland is somewhere in europe2" in the eurovision

[elvisfan41]

should release this again... such a good song, saw them recently in waterfront hall , belfast and finnegans, kircubbin... sori but the years haven't been kind to poor liam

[randrianabel]

i sstill wonder how ireland didn't win this year......

[inspireradavstatyer]

His voice is very nice! I guess this is the irish song?

[Orlabobz]

yup, it really should have won. go and see the song that won though..

[freebeard79]

Just wonderful.

[sully1865]

There has never been, and never will be, a better song in the Eurovision than this one. Its far too good for the shitty political non-talent contest it has turned into.

This song is pure musical magic, no dancing gays, no scantily clad bimbos, no great computer effect. Music at its purest.

[mtenor]

i preferred the othe song he wrote "could it be that i am in love"

but this one is great too

[bananzaboy]

Not possibly, definitely!

[bigge111]

I second that! Haven't heard the song in 19 years and I still remembered it to the fullest!

[pepperpots]

Possibly the best non-winner of Eurovision?

[asmartcunt]

@pepperpots agree, brilliant song

[landeverge]

italy won on a political vote that year,the year of the s.e.a. ,well all convinced?!,so how could 'Unite Unite Europe' lose then?

[barryhawk23]

top tune. Liam Riley is brilliant

[lostintimeline]

SIMPLY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[davenathan2002]

Oh, wow...

Nearly nineteen years since I've heard his.

[macadooly]

wonderful Liam WONDERFUL!!

[ColoursTrue]

I adore it!

[cjtf]

This loss was the start of the eurovision song contest becoming a vote for your favourite country.....it has nothing to do with talent now.....ireland showed that last year....we are going to divide our country into 7 different mini countries and win again... eg.. bosnia...serbia...etc. etc etc.

[pepperpots]

Votes always had been influenced by your favourite country: Greece and Cyprus...Sweden, Norway and Denmark...Spain and Portugal...UK and Ireland. it's just more overt since televoting kicked in.

[Orlabobz]

then again, Ireland and the UK never give the full 12 points, its normally 8 or 10. we still have our differences. and we only have one comrade, so many countries have so many!

[dunedainsoul]

That your problem that you dont have many friends. And as long as world will try to desintegrate Serbia in smaller states they will win every eurovision from that time XD

[Orlabobz]

if only we got rid of the rediculous public vote!

[dunedainsoul]

Public vote is good but also they need the jury vote. And when the songs are in equal position than jury should say the final word. But looking back when only the jury had the right to vote, than have been made some terrible mistakes.......

[Orlabobz]

hahaha so what, dublin, cork, galway, mayo, donegal and limerick? ha!

[Ruud22NL]

absolutely not and very overrated, not even in my top 10.....

[emperorlaos]

the best song of 1990!!
