Alisha is basically criticising the education system in Ireland because she learn Irish since the age of 4 and many of us leave school with very little Irish, even tho we do big exams with a high level or Irish when we’re 18/19. The majority of the country don’t get taught the language properly.
There are now hundreds of Gaelscoils in Ireland where students do their full education through Irish and come out of school completely fluent. I think this is a very old-fashioned view of how the language was taught.
The gaeilscoils were always there and those children are fluent, no doubt. But the rest of us? Our conversational Irish is a disgrace for 13 years of eduction in the language.
Go Tobann is basically mocking how Irish is taught for so long in schools but so many people cant string a sentence together, Ailsha uses common Irish phrases like, Can i go to the toilet, suddenly, and counting numbers
I’m in love with Ailsha! Her song is so good and would be amazing on stage! Any song from this selection is good apart from the boy band… no hate but Ireland wouldn’t have a chance of qualifying if they picked them.
Having a boy band would be a very Irish thing... Choice for people who are spooked by Go Tabann and Doomsday Blues. I enjoyed Isabella, but it may not be memorable enough.
You would think, but there’s a pervasive belief in Ireland that “our song was good but it’s all politics, or it’s all a joke” yada yada. We need to take responsibility for our bad choices and choose better. Just hope Ireland gets that this year.
I am so so so so excited to see Bambie Thug's staging. They've really thought through the concept not just for the Irish selection but also for Malmo. That is the song I'm personally most hyped about as an Irish guy. Go Tobann would be great to send too, I want to see both of those on stage. I think Erica Cody is the safe option, but I like the song. It'll be fine. Just not the male artists please :) We've done that before, not again. As you say on Bambie Thug, it can elevate or flop but I have very high hopes. For me personally it's between Bambie Thug and Ailsha. Ailsha has the ingredients eurofans have wanted from Ireland forever - Irish language and traditional sounds made contemporary. But I actually prefer the Pagan vibe of Bambie Thug and the lyircs (it's very minor) of Ailsha in Irish do grate on me a little. But it would do well I think. So Bambie or Ailsha please, but if the Irish public isn't ready for them yet, then Erica Cody would be a safe option
@@ullarajala4784 Yes, but really depends on how many girl bops there are overall. and the diversity of genres. For me there's a good hook, and I know she is a pro who can work with cameras unlke...cough...last year..and a dancer too. And there's Irish in that song too. So....yes it's comfortable and safe choice but as to qualification it wouldn't be in the bag unlike Ailsha and hopefully (stage dependent) Bambie. It would be more of nailbiter. No way is it totally out of the realm of possibility though. It'll be like NL or Georgia or Estonia last year - about 40-60% of people will rpedict it qualifies. So, for Irish team, safe, because it's seriously considered on merits and the song is good enough. The performance will send it one way or another. I'll stop rambling now
Unpopular opinion: Go Tobann is a chaotic song with some Celtic vibes! I don't get it, but can appreciate that others want something different from Ireland.
Go tabaan and doomsday blues are the ones. If they do it right (for once) it'll be a spectacle and people will remember them big time. If they don't go in then i give up on us entirely in Eurovision 😭
Bambie thug for Eurovision! We need something fresh and exciting. I do like Ailsha (and I think a lot of the Eurofans do too) but I still think it’s an albeit messy but “Eurovision ready” song as evidenced by the key change and basic usage of Irish instruments and language. Bambie is a more seasoned artist and I believe they can deliver this well live.
Go Tobann by Ailsha is definitely the one! ❤️ We need to take the ultimate risk and send this banger of a song to represent the Emerald Isle in Eurovision 2024! 💚🤍🧡 It’s everything a modern Eurovision song for Ireland should be! 🙌
Isabella Kearney is my favourite, her voice is very special and beautiful; her song is calm, elegant, but energetic and catchy at the same time... Reminds me of some Dido songs. ❤ It also sounds great in the acoustic version.
alisha must going to eurovision it will be a top 10 entry since a long time it has go_a vibes and all fans know that the band from ukraine is very stunning and did growing much bigger in populairty after eurovision so i hope they pick that song i stand up and can,t forget to Dance when she represent ireland in may
My opinion is the same ! Amazing selection! Really interested to see go tabann and doomsday blues live ! I think with the right song , and right staging top5 is possible!
No need to be condescending. Not everyone's heard of a tin whistle and not everyone's Irish 🙄 I never heard of a 'tin whistle' and im not Irish....and I thought it was a flute. Its all part of learning.
Ailsha is actually so deep for irish people, it may not be recognisable but there's a lot of irish references to school learnt phrases in irish (essentiallythe song mainly comments on something is comments on directly 'im losing my vocabulary'
Bambie thug or go tobann. Both good enough for final and that is a positive considering we came pretty much last for last 5 years or so.. Except Ryan o shaughnessy.. Only way is up
I really hope irleldnd send go taban irleldnd it's time for you to send your first song with English and Irish in this will be in the final it's needs to be in the Eurovision final plese irleldnd pick this song plese
Overall it's a much better selection than last year. Having listened to them all a few times now I think I prefer Erica Coady the most but I reckon that it will get passed over in favour of something more different like Ailsha or Bambi Thug because I think there's an appetite to do something really out there and both of those songs fit that brief. It's a pity that once again we are stuck with the Late Late Show as the studio there doesn't allow for anything proper from a staging point of view so you don't really get any idea of how these could work on the Eurovision stage which is a huge part of what makes a song work in the contest.
'Go Tobann' was really let down with the performance. It was packaged incorrectly. I get the message, but literally the performance was like a school production done on a very low budget. The song was full of angst and energy. It needed some choreo, some storytelling and some presence of the main artist. She just faded in to the performance as just another character in the story. Shame really as 'Go Tobann' was my favourite going in to the show. I can see why Bambie Thug won. She had a story, a cohesive performance, a look that tied in and a central presence in her story.
Quick note: Bambie Thug identifies as non-binary and uses the gender neutral pronouns they/them. Other than that: It's Go Tobann for me! I want the Irish language in ESC & this song mixes it with English, but also combines traditional Irish music elements with modern pop/rock. So perfectly & kinda the Irish answer to SHUM!
I HOPE IRELAND WILL CHOOSE GOOD ARTIST ESPECIALLY WOMAN BECUASE THEY ARE ALAWYS 1ST IN THIS NATIONAL FINAL BUT BOYS LIKE BOTH ARE 5TH PLACE SO SORRY FOR THIS TIME I MEAN WILD YOUTH WAS AMAZING SAME EUROPE ESPECIALLY THE PEOPLE WHO PUT IRELAND 1ST SEMI FINAL IF THIS Repenseted second semi final instead of Iceland both would have been chance to qualify
Bambi thug, Doomsday Blue's for Eurovision, it's a song that becomes really catchy after a few listens. But I can see the boy band with their bland song getting to represent Ireland sadly. RTE definitely dont want to win it due to their financial troubles, so I guess its something rubbish again.
Contrary to popular belief Ireland doesnt like bland, its RTE that does, Next in Line as a result might do well with the Irish jury but will struggle on the TV and International jury.
@@cathalsheehan9596 although, I believe it was Connolly that won with the Juries while Wild Youth won with their terrible song by public vote at last year's Irish selection.
Also WY were the best performers on the night which might have swayed the Irish jury. No-one in this selection has the pull WY had last year and certainly not NIL, if people remember people said the same about Brendan Murray in 2022 and he ended up coming dead last and I suspect we'll get similar here. It'll probably do a little better than it should in the Irish jury but tanked completely in the televote and International vote.@@anothercomment

If Ireland sends the rap song theyll be coming dead last overall if they send the boy band im sorry i really like the song but bottom 3 overall if they send doomsday blues I don't really know i think they could qualify but this wouldn't do well in the juries but the harry potter fans would love it let me be the fire has what it takes to qualify but i think itll end up mid table in the final Erica will for sure qualify and even end up in the top 13 and at this point i think its the best choice since Ailsas song which now i love o hated when i first heard it so the people hearing this the first time might not like it at firsr it could go like Georgia last year even though its completely different genres but it will probably qualify and Ireland could even come back to the top 10 overall Ireland congratulations after many years we actually have some really good entries
I think it would be nice to send Ailsha seen as it's something different and obviously in Irish. But, I'm about 90% percent sure Erica will win and you know what, I'm gonna be very happy if she does! Watch out for Next In Line. They will be top 3 at Eurosong mark my words purely because they're a Louis Walsh band.
@@TotalbadassXI agree! The guy has publicly stated that Ireland will never win Eurovision again and yet here he is sending his band. Makes no sense at all!
@@noahónéirinn What annoys me even more is that over a thousand people entered their songs in and Louie was able to steal a spot by auditioning random people and putting them into a group. It’s not X Factor
Eurosong has made me pessimistic now. One time in a long time there's actual decent songs I'm expecting them to throw a curveball and magically the least favourite song will go through because of the jury/judges.
@@Vhmvd no we won't. Wild Youth have a huge fan base in Ireland which is why they won the Irish televote last year. People voted for them as opposed to their song. However this year nobody knows who Next In Line are so people aren't going to vote for them on a pure name basis.

Terrified that Ireland will choose Next in line when we have so many terrific options this year.
My vote is for Ailsha 🇮🇪💚
They wont, Next in line will struggle outside of the Irish jury. Realistically its between Ailsha, Bambie & Erica with Isabella a possible dark horse.
Having a boy band would be a very Irish thing... Choice for people who are spooked by Go Tabann and Doomsday Blues. I enjoyed Isabella, but it may not be memorable enough.

Totally agree with you. I just fear that the late late show studio won't do Bambie or Ailsha any favours and that it will suit Erica a lot more...
So safe choice that Cody risks NQ...

@@ullarajala4784 Yes, but really depends on how many girl bops there are overall. and the diversity of genres.

Alisha can bring a top 10 result. It’s a mix between Shum and Cha Cha Cha
Eurofans try to not compare anything that isn’t pop to cha cha cha or shum challenge😭🙏
It sounds nothing like it.
Mixed with a little bit of Verka.
Unpopular opinion: Go Tobann is a chaotic song with some Celtic vibes! I don't get it, but can appreciate that others want something different from Ireland.
It’s nothing like either
Go Tobann can be new Trenuletul or Shum... a song that makes the whole crowd and press centre lose their minds and dance in a circle!
Go tabaan and doomsday blues are the ones. If they do it right (for once) it'll be a spectacle and people will remember them big time. If they don't go in then i give up on us entirely in Eurovision 😭
Am I the only one who sees Go Tabann as different but actually quite bad song...
@@ullarajala4784she’s criticizing the education system
@@midnightstar1426 Just because she's criticizing the education system doesn't mean it's a good song
@@ullarajala4784 Nope. I'm in that category too.
1:20 A different Irish TV channel does Junior Eurovision for Ireland than the adult show, which explains why the results and quality are so different.
Well the results unfortunately aren't that great in jesc either which is such a shame especially this year
Ireland, take a risk and send Ailsha with "Go Tobann"!💗

The reason why some of them are cut off or messy quality is because they're radio recordings and havent been officially released yet
Some of them have. "Love Me Like I Do," "Ailsha" and "Doomsday Blue" are on Spotify the last time I checked.
@@im.joeyb. Yeah I think those are the only ones

My opinion is the same ! Amazing selection! Really interested to see go tabann and doomsday blues live ! I think with the right song , and right staging top5 is possible!
Let's not exaggerate
Top 5 where? The juries exist....
Need to See alisha live. It has so, much potential
Finally some irish we hadn't had irish language in the contest since 1973 50 years
1972 - Sandie Jones Ceol an Ghrá was the last time Ireland sent an Irish language entry.
@@anothercomment sorry wrong year
What this selection needs is a televote.
Bambie thug winner❤️🔥
It's Doomsday Blue or Go Tobann for me❤
Erica has a really good choreography team and she can daaaaaance. She is gonna blow up the stage at Eurosong
Ailsha or Bambie Thug needs to win or else Ireland is going to non qualify again. If they send the boyband, all hope is lost for them
'An Irish flute' 🤣🤣 tell me you've never heard of a tin whistle without telling me you've never heard of a tin whistle...
No need to be condescending. Not everyone's heard of a tin whistle and not everyone's Irish 🙄
I never heard of a 'tin whistle' and im not Irish....and I thought it was a flute. Its all part of learning.
