    Are we getting to national final time already? Where did the summer go? I’m getting excited just at the thought of hearing what Europe has to offer for us this year. 🙂

    I was a little suprised that the musical choice wasn’t something by Lynsey De Paul though?

    It was very interesting to see how most of her obituaries led with her 2nd place at Eurovision, ahead of her other achievements like hit singles or being the first woman to win an Ivor Novello award.

    The song writer of I feed you my love the Norwegian entry from 2013 (as we all know 😛 ) entered a song into the irish NF, I’m looking forward to seeing what this is if it goes forward to the live show as I feed you my love was probably a majority of eurovision fans NO.1 without a doubt but was assessable enough to impress normal people (no offence intended) like denmark a was. Also a song writter for the female dutch singer this year put in a song, I don’t think its the writter of calm after the storm sadly but dutch people know there stuff so I’m going to go along with it, there’s also rumours that jedward and ryan Dolan may have entered the NF too, ryan did want to enter and he said he would if he was given a song. But in the end if jedward enter than we might aswell just internally select them as let’s face it Theres no way there not going to win!
