They'll be there for you, like they've been there before...

Ireland have released the six songs that will compete for the right to represent the Emerald Isle in Baku, and well, let's just say that some of them (tedious Celtic Ballad, cheesy male/female duo, male solo soft rock) are there to make up the numbers... As soon as Jedward confirmed that they were going to try out for Ireland again, many thought that it was a foregone conclusion.

And it's a got tune!! I know that they'll be totally carried by their backing singers, but it's another catchy tune, but in a different way to their song from last year, have a listen!! :



Not bad eh? Very US-sounding, like an updated version of "I'll be there for you" and as has been mentioned by fandom, very "High School Musical" too! Could do very good business for Ireland, this!

The other song of note is Donna McCaul, who entered for Ireland in 2005, with her wee brother Joe, who's on her own know, and clearly channelling Lady Gaga:



Reckon it will be between these two when Ireland choose their song, although it's difficult to see any other outcome than Jedward Jed-winning! :))) What do *you* think?

Great song and a great voice... it's very very catchy and you can't help but sing along PLUS she is a wonderful girl and we did meet her in that restaurant Dan where we all screamed when she walked in lol ... I said this to her on facebook, coz we're pals now lol, and she said she actually remembers us all!! Goooo Donna!!

  2. Hahaha, that restaurant was just sooo funny - the really overweight and really camp waiter, the random Eurovision star that walked in, love it!! I think Jedward have a good song, but I like Donna's too, and I do think it will perhaps be a mistake to send Jedward two years in a row....
