THIS - probably not (unfortunately). Could get a Top 10 though if the juries love it (see Portugal 2024). It's not appealing to the younger public. Other Irish songs from that period - maybe, folksy sound is more popular now than some years ago.
Like the sound of birds and angels. Peaceful and exciting. Original. And the lyrics are very meaningful. I can listen to it over and over without getting tired of it. Congratulations. Greetings from turkey.
I love the way the technological limitations of camera technology at the time syned with the rhythm of the song, nowadays shed have to have a firework coming out her arse midway to allow for some steadicam camera sequences, which of course speaks volumes about the eurovision in the modern era.
Ireland don't want to win that's the problem they wanted to host first time second time but then it's too much money and bother for them, let's be honest we know if Ireland enter a celtic singers with traditional Irish music Riverdance ect it's gunna win there's a reason they dont we know we could win it if we truly wanted too it's not that the entires are not talented it's just Ireland choose not to enter someone they know will win beyond reasonable doubt they won 3 times in a row and it cost them a hell of a lot of money they then changed it up a little lost one year win the next I think they enter to keep good relations with EU countries and be good sports as we'd call it but theve no real desire to win winning 3 times in a row cost them millions
I am Irish with Swedish citizenship also but thought Eimear was amazing. However, by a hairs whisker I loved Sweden's song. Sweden and Ireland should have been joint winners. I know its impossible. I feel more Irish than Swedish but Sweden's song is one of my all time favourites.
Both Ireland and Sweden had truly AMAZING songs in 1996. But for me Norway was even better. Just slightly, but better. All 3 of them would be deserving winners of 1997 and many other years. Ireland with this absolutely majestic entry is definitely amongst the best winners of all time.
This is a real woman. A beautiful, natural woman. Which is how it should be, without any extra costumes and unnecessary makeup. She has an amazing voice. A voice that takes your breath away. A clear, gentle, elegant voice. It was this song that was chosen as the soundtrack to the movie "The Lord of the Rings". Although not the main soundtrack. This is how I want to see Eurovision. Exactly as it was intended to be. And not this shame, which has been jumping around the stage lately.
Bambi Thug did us Irish proud what are you on about? I use to agree, I prefer these ballads to what’s popular now. But Ireland for many years continued to send generic songs despite knowing that the times have changed. Bambi showed that Ireland can do well with genres outside Ballads. I get if you dislike the current genre, but there’s no denying that the Doomsday Blue performance was well done, perceived well, and did well by placing us 6th!
If only Ireland sent something good again! Wild Youth's song reminds me of Nicky Byrne's Sunlight from 2016...very average and forgettable and the message is generic. You would have had a chance to qualify with Connolly but alas she was not chosen.
1)Wild Dances, Ukrain. 2)Euphoria, Sweden 3)Every Way That I Can,Turkey. 4)Fairytale, Norway 5)Arcade,Netherlands 6)Always, Azerbaijan. 7)Number One, Greece 8)We Could Be The Same, Turkey 9)Shake it, Greece 10)Satellite, Germany Winners of all time... P.s I'm sure I miss a lot of good songs but I think these are by far the most iconic songs of Eurovision history.
I am baffled by that year's postcards. It would have been nice to have an artist, maybe a former ESC winner or participant wishing each entry good luck, but why the heck a politician?
@@pajolee6918 Thanks for your feedback, Pajo! 🙂 Well, quite similar, especially the stanza. I haven't heard that song before! ✌ However, I wouldn't see it as plagiarism, but rather treating this song as huge 'inspiration'.😉✌
Have you listened to the lyrics, though? I mean, this song does exactly what some of Ukrainian entries do, and lots of people whine about it being "political".
It's pretty good and she can sing better than Gina G but everyone knows Gina G absolutely should have still won if not for the political side of Eurovision.
A bit breathy from her side. Didnt know this was a Eurovision song. Just knew the version from the lovely ladies with the violins who seem to have real vocal education/training in the classical field (celtic woman they are called). Great song. But she didnt hit all the notes. So props to the band that covered it to make it really stand out and shine!
I also first hear the song from Celtic woman.t's an amazing version indeed. There is a new 2020 live version in which ,I believe,Eimie had performed "The voice" much better than here 💖💖💖💖💖

I want Ireland to send a song like this again
Yes me too! Something like Celtic women!
But they didn't do that, :)
@@6ilan9_Fadlurrahman kind of, if you count JESC 2019 for Ireland but that was royally robbed
but with the lyrics in irish instead of english
@@6ilan9_Fadlurrahman they can't be arsed let's be honest winning the Eurovision is a pain in the backside lol
She could be an elf in Lord of the Rings: Her voice is so ethereal and magical
My favorite winning song in the history of Eurovision.
This is magical, what a voice and a well deserved winner. Irish music is heavenly. It's time they send a masterpiece like this again.
Pinnacle of the Eurovision.
This would be top 5 in todays Eurovision for sure.
No chance unfortunately
The Eurovision is a joke now 😢

The best winner Eurovision will ever have. She's THE winner, this song is the most incredible masterpiece that landed in this contest.
Nah - Rock'n'Roll Kids - far better.
This fake, airy-fairy 'celtic' music is terrible... Nothing Irish about it.
It's OK I guess
I completely agree!
Do not forget about Nocturne from Secret Garden
Like the sound of birds and angels. Peaceful and exciting. Original. And the lyrics are very meaningful. I can listen to it over and over without getting tired of it. Congratulations. Greetings from turkey.
My favourite Eurovision Song of all Time 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
If Ireland sends someone like this next year, maybe they'll finally qualify for finals
Well... they didn't 😕
But we qualified!
@@Ash-od1ps yes! And with a great song
Beautiful song!!! 🇮🇪
Greetings from Greece
Arguably the greatest Eurovision song with more than 24 words of all time. ❤️
hehe I see what you did there ;)
Nocturne was an even greater masterpiece but had less than 24 words.
Ireland's best winner. Absolutely magnificent.
Ireland, you did it once, you can do it again (sending beautiful emotional song)
One of best songs to win Eurovision ever! I was so in love with Eimar Quinn😂😊
I m from Greece and I love this song!!
Absolutely amazing! What a voice. She is THE voice! I miss such Eurovision entries.
I love the way the technological limitations of camera technology at the time syned with the rhythm of the song, nowadays shed have to have a firework coming out her arse midway to allow for some steadicam camera sequences, which of course speaks volumes about the eurovision in the modern era.
ireland need a nice folklore song again
2007
@@o-b-1 big difference is that this is actually good. Dervish’s song was dreadful
The best of Ireland's winning entries imo
Quelle voix incroyable et magnifique ❤❤❤
Beautiful message in that song
This is my favorite Eurovision winner . Beautiful song .
Seriously I would think it was a mermaid singing❤❤I would crush my boat to the reef to listen to it near me❤❤
This is amazing. I love the Irish music nearer the end. Ireland should send more songs like this.
Maith thú, Éire! 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Ireland was unbeatable in 90s Eurovision.
Who else is watching this to cleanse the soul after Ireland's performance in 2023? We could do so much better :(
Ha ha , good on ya

@@djfhfh After Covid-19 we need something big to hit ireland to bring us back to where we were
@@Jacksiloution we can't afford it , Eurovision isnt worth it in that regards, hosting big concerts like Beyonce should never have been stopped
When Eurosong was about music and not about bullsh*t gabbage stuffs like nowdays
One of the best entries of ESC. Togheter with Secret garden this really capture that 90´s new age/folk sound.
I just love this one.
i knew the bodhran players family. she taught me how to play. her son is a rapper now lol
So mesmerizing!
Just incredible - This is a MASTERPIECE
Круто поёт, сколько национальной музыки, молодчина
A wonderful song, full of tenderness and beauty. I love it.
Чудова пісня, що наповнена ніжністю та красою. Я в захваті.
Compare this to the fucking Moloch bullshit from the current one, night and day
What a masterpiece voice ❤ Congratulations !!!

The most successful entry since 1997, you mean?
What happend with Ireland 2024 ?
I love this and Bambie
This was the last time we won Eurovision in Oslo
Representing Eurovision this year is wild youth so I hope they win
it's not happening babes

They got knocked out in the semis once again
Beautiful song
Still AMZING😍😍😍😍😍😍
My favorite song ever
She IS indeed the voice
nice watching this , year i was born
1)Wild Dances, Ukrain.
2)Euphoria, Sweden
3)Every Way That I Can,Turkey.
4)Fairytale, Norway
5)Arcade,Netherlands
6)Always, Azerbaijan.
7)Number One, Greece
8)We Could Be The Same, Turkey
9)Shake it, Greece
10)Satellite, Germany
Winners of all time...
P.s
I'm sure I miss a lot of good songs but I think these are by far the most iconic songs of Eurovision history.
Wild dances is from Ucraine (not Serbia)
Fairytale is from Norway not from (Iceland)
Arcade is from the Netherlands not from (Italy)
@@KevinChantal omg my bad 😅 but at least I got the names correct right ?
I actually prefer the song Irelands opening song to the Eurovision in 1994. 😊

a beautiful melody and sing
What a contrast. 🙄
I enjoy both😊

Почти из всего времени
new sub x
Class eimer
We need to send something Irish again
100%к моим чус вительныи перепонкам.После гнойного оттита слух усилился...
Wasn't it modelled after the Polish entry from the year before (Justyna Steczkowska's "Sama",1995) but in a 'softened' version?
Check out 'The Whistler' by Jethro Tull - This song is basically a rip off of it.
@@pajolee6918 Thanks for your feedback, Pajo! 🙂 Well, quite similar, especially the stanza. I haven't heard that song before! ✌ However, I wouldn't see it as plagiarism, but rather treating this song as huge 'inspiration'.😉✌
I wish Ireland and the UK did more folk music in Eurovision. Go back to roots then crappy pop all the time
Galadriel?
Gina G was the “televoting” winner.
I thought Ireland won 0 points when Ted and Dougal sang My Lovely Horse.
💖💗🧡💚💛👍🙏💖
It's a damn good song and voice, but wish it didn't compete -96. I wanted Sweden to win so badly.
Exact
When the music mattered instead of the politics
Have you listened to the lyrics, though? I mean, this song does exactly what some of Ukrainian entries do, and lots of people whine about it being "political".
she looks like an elf from lotr .
And now we have woke nonsense
Oh noes. Gay people. The horror.
@@EsmeMarionGay people are good so long as they don’t pro create.
Wait the is Norwegian news (NRK)
It's the broadcaster of Norway. They made the show
Lmao they got the Taoiseach to do the good luck message. Mary Robinson must have been busy.
@@morbidsearch Still better than us sending the bloody Culture Secretary (or the National Heritage secretary as was then the case)!
Wait, this isn't about a lovely horse.
It's pretty good and she can sing better than Gina G but everyone knows Gina G absolutely should have still won if not for the political side of Eurovision.
Back when it was all about music and not like today when its chickens and other nonsense stuff winning.
Couldn't agree more. Eurovision back then was classy now it's become a circus
You are really didn't understand what that chicken songs was about
@@kamranquliyev8516 It's trash anyway. Maybe feminist trash but still trash.
I know, it's fowl... I mean foul!...esp when Eire entered it with Dustin the Turkey!
The last good Eurovision ever, For my country of course

There is a new 2020 live version in which ,I believe,Eimie had performed "The voice" much better than here 💖💖💖💖💖
this is not a winner song,, I think this year all the songs got to be very bad ,,if this was the winner song,,so so borring
Folks. Go listen to Jethro Tulls 'The Whistler', and try tell me this AWFUL song didn't rip it off.
crap
Revenge of Ireland for Norway.
