Brilliant song that gets better with every listen. Great lyrics, great production and most of all AMAZING voice. This could have been top 5 ESC, maybe even the winner. She was stunning singing Live on the Late Late Show also (although the dancers were a mistake) And what do we get representing us? Those utterly talentless, devoid of personality or inteligence pupets of the British media. As voted for by the British public in an orchestrated fan campaign (using the NI phone numbers.) What a shame
I think that if song represented Ireland in Copenhagen 2014 and the staging was kept simple, this would have been Austria and Sweden's main contender to win. Really. :D I also get a Sanna Nielsen vibe from this song. Which is really cool.
@Herzlos666 im a jedward fan and its not bullshit! eurovision is not only a popularity contest but it is also a contest to see what country can do the most wacky stuff! so sending jedward would be perfect because you can get any wackier then that!
@LittleMonsterSammy No regrets! I work for the Eurovision Council and Jedward get so much attention and hype Europe has not seen them before! This girl is good but like a million others she would have fell under the radar!
this is a perfect song- really great ! congrats to the artist and composer - amazing voice - should have won? yes if you ask me - but anyway good luck with lipstick ;) we must support all the participants they desirve their places in the contest ! WHAT A POWERFULL AND AMAZING SONG -falling !!! 12 points from Romania
Niamh (proabably her relative) represented Ireland in 1993 and 2010! So I think it would be stupid, especially as Jedward (as bad as their song may be) will get loads of points from UK because of X Factor!!! :s
Could someone please explain to me why Northern Ireland was allowed to vote for who gets to go to represent Ireland in the Eurovision because technogly they are apart of the United kingdom and they deemed themselves to be apart of it. Especially with the whole xfactor Jedward thing in the UK.I think Northern Ireland had a huge influence on the public vote.It should have been only the Republic who were allowed to vote for Ireland's representative for the Eurovision not both.
If Niamh failed last year then i don't think her backing singer could have done better and it is very like the song ajzerbijan sent last year so it wouldnt have really stood out!but it is a great song and she is fantastic!!
John and Edward won, not only because they are extremely entertaining, but they are NICE PEOPLE, unlike niki who had something bad to say about john and edward in every iinterview. the way she acted on eurosong night wasn't on either. glad she didn't get through
@proto1type This song IS amazing,but I dont think it has Eurovision winner stamped all over it because its not catchy or anything. And please do not bad mouth John and Edward grimes or you'll have 170,000 fans to answer to. Thank you =:)
I'm afraid it had to be Jedward, everyone should have known this would happen. Nikki was at it last year with Niamh, Jedward will be great!! But it would have been really smart to wait and enter this song next year rather than put it up against Jedward. AMAZING SONG, could have won the whole thing! Real shame but hey, GO JEDWARD
This song is really good :D I must say i think it is kinda wierd jedward won when a song like this was allso in the contest.. I would guess its just alot of little jedwared's fans that voted because of the twins look cute. well well. Good luck Ireland
I absolutely love this song, and Nikki's fantastic voice. She should be on her way to Germany not the tone deaf Jedward, absolutely unfair Also how can a well known act like jedward compete with acts that are new to the public? it makes no sense and im not looking forward to the eurovision whatsoever thanks to them. I hope Nikki goes for it again next year, she deserves this way more than the idiotic twins with two left feet.
@ciarao645 your Ireland eh? well mister/misses whoever you are the judges of the jurys throughout the country wanted failling she was given I think 76 while JEDWARD were giving 60 plus there song was aired before the contest on amazon THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCALLOWED TO compete THEY CHEATED.
It makes me so angry that one jury gave this song only 8 points! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? Now Ireland, the best eurovision country ever, will be embarrased on a global scale by two eejits. It's Dustin all over again. Europe just won't get it
im irish n ireland r fuckd wiv jedward we wont even make da finale.. i voted 4 dis song n ireland actually cud av won wiv dis song nt lipstick we r guna b laughed at once again!!!!!!!!!
everyone is like: omggg why jedward? but hello, they did very well! like in the top 10. normally ireland even doesn't get to the finals... she's good, but I thinks that jedward did better.
Well Ireland, sending 2x 'cutie' boys with 50cm. hairstyle (oh God -.-) against that incredible girl with great strong song was suicide for You... You can forgot about final right now.
Ireland finally write a quality song sung by sexy singer with a great voice for the eurovision............. and then......................send JEDWARD!!!! ..........I mean WTF!!!! If they closed the voting lines to girls under the age of 18, this song would sail through!!
@JedwardRepublic At least this sounds somewhat modern and like what is in the charts..Dat other load of shit hasnt a hope!!! With all due respect ur username is jedward republic, is someone just a bit biased??
@mikrotalas Learn to spell please, and for the mean time, I will class your argument as invalid. Also "couse they suck" is the most pathetic response I have ever read.
maybe its about time rte take the vote away from the public, the uk did it by just picking blue, we should have done it and just sent this song. it would have done really well, top 10 easily. now we wont even get out of the group. jedwards song would be good if they could sing it but they cant and this one is better by miles.
@ciarao645 ha! twelve year olds voted for them. Need I say more. Just you'd have to admit that this song was better. I don't mind jedward but they WILL NOT win it for Ireland. sure look what happened to dustin. you know I have a valid point. and Jamescreaney has a point about Ireland also. Ireland WAS respected in eurovision for its talent. well not anymore...... Its a real pity.
meh voice doesnt stand out, quite grating to listen to actually. I preferred Jedward. Song is generic too im sure ive heard this song before in a hundred different versions...come on ireland lets actually stick some real talent out there some year please!
![Nikki Kavanagh - Falling (in HIGH QUALITY) [Eurovision 2011 Ireland]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4CLtzdqcavA/mqdefault.jpg)
this song is addictive- i don't go one day without playing it
i've said it before and will again- this song is amazing and she's fantastic- it makes a great combinaton
This woman is amazing....Wow Ireland fantastic......xx

Amazing, that's all I have to say :D - I'm actually excited for the first time since in years with our possible entry :D
I think this could do really well if it gets to Eurovision! Got my fingers crossed that the public pick the best song and singer x
The best song!!!
amazing song..
Wow, fab song!
I think that if song represented Ireland in Copenhagen 2014 and the staging was kept simple, this would have been Austria and Sweden's main contender to win. Really. :D I also get a Sanna Nielsen vibe from this song. Which is really cool.
Very nice song! If Ireland sends this, I'll be crossing fingers for them :)

i love this Song =)
She will win !!!

WHAT A POWERFULL AND AMAZING SONG -falling !!! 12 points from Romania
Brilliant.
good song:) (from estonia)
Amazing song ! *____*
This song is much better than lipstick :/
12 points from BiH for this song ;)
Niamh (proabably her relative) represented Ireland in 1993 and 2010! So I think it would be stupid, especially as Jedward (as bad as their song may be) will get loads of points from UK because of X Factor!!! :s
please ireland, forget this lipstick-junk and send nikki, her song is just perfect!
This should have won.... it is much better...... a quality song!
@Herzlos666 Seriously, this is amazing! So much better than "Lipstick"
this song is so much better than lipstick
greetings from germany ;)
@Conrr11
I think she kind of looks like Safura too.. Defo get that vibe
This was undoubtedly the better son for Ireland, still too late now so good luck to Jedward! Have another go Nikki :-)

@beethree3 - someone agrees....thank you
This song should represent us next year.But knowing us,we would probably vote for podge and rodge instead :p
If Niamh failed last year then i don't think her backing singer could have done better and it is very like the song ajzerbijan sent last year so it wouldnt have really stood out!but it is a great song and she is fantastic!!
Isnt this song supposed to be an entry in our late late show to pick our eurovision song in 2014? i heard twas nyway
John and Edward won, not only because they are extremely entertaining, but they are NICE PEOPLE, unlike niki who had something bad to say about john and edward in every iinterview. the way she acted on eurosong night wasn't on either. glad she didn't get through
@proto1type This song IS amazing,but I dont think it has Eurovision winner stamped all over it because its not catchy or anything. And please do not bad mouth John and Edward grimes or you'll have 170,000 fans to answer to. Thank you =:)
this song sound like, or reminds me of Omarion - icebox, very mjuch and other songs is somebody agree with me?
I'm afraid it had to be Jedward, everyone should have known this would happen. Nikki was at it last year with Niamh, Jedward will be great!! But it would have been really smart to wait and enter this song next year rather than put it up against Jedward. AMAZING SONG, could have won the whole thing! Real shame but hey, GO JEDWARD
@Alilily1
Yeah realy similar. This is just in a higher key
nikki's entry is just that little bit better than jedward's. Not too sure who I'll end up voting for...
This song is really good :D I must say i think it is kinda wierd jedward won when a song like this was allso in the contest.. I would guess its just alot of little jedwared's fans that voted because of the twins look cute. well well. Good luck Ireland
@Herzlos666 lipstick will win eurovision cause its fun, nikkis song is perfect but its way to serious and she can try next year
I think this song is better than Lipstick
Hahaha. The piano at the start of this is identical to Hometown Glory by Adele. Just listen to both songs one after the other, seriously.
How do I remove comments i wrote from the Jedward song?? After listening to this their song really isn't that great!
I absolutely love this song, and Nikki's fantastic voice. She should be on her way to Germany not the tone deaf Jedward, absolutely unfair
Also how can a well known act like jedward compete with acts that are new to the public? it makes no sense and im not looking forward to the eurovision whatsoever thanks to them.
I hope Nikki goes for it again next year, she deserves this way more than the idiotic twins with two left feet.
This reminds me of Drip Drop by Safura somehow...
@mikrotalas how is it a fail if they beat her? :/
@mikrotalas good to know
feck sake this song would have came top 3 for sure. No wonder this country is going down the tube with the type of people in it.
This sounds reaallyy good..but it sounds lik so many other eurovision songs i think jedwards something different
@ciarao645 your Ireland eh? well mister/misses whoever you are the judges of the jurys throughout the country wanted failling she was given I think 76 while JEDWARD were giving 60 plus there song was aired before the contest on amazon THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCALLOWED TO compete THEY CHEATED.

Are you joking? Jedward did a great job with lipstick
is it just me or the intro is just like Adele's Hometown Glory???
@morrybo12 exactly
Should have won!!
im irish n ireland r fuckd wiv jedward we wont even make da finale..
i voted 4 dis song n ireland actually cud av won wiv dis song nt lipstick we r guna b laughed at once again!!!!!!!!!
@shauna485
I was thinking the same thing, only for the start of it though. :D
everyone is like: omggg why jedward?
but hello, they did very well! like in the top 10. normally ireland even doesn't get to the finals...
she's good, but I thinks that jedward did better.
A song and act that I would have been actually proud to send to eurovision instead of those 2 muppets!!
Well Ireland, sending 2x 'cutie' boys with 50cm. hairstyle (oh God -.-) against that incredible girl with great strong song was suicide for You...
You can forgot about final right now.
Why wasn't she picked?
piano part sounds like one republics apologize..
@bingougotme But jededward will win on pirpose because "we" don't want to win eurovision anymore.
lol, with this in the contest, jedward must've been sent only for lulz like Dustin, coz that's what eurovision worth
@49natyluvscake94 _ Yes, they will be remembered...for making us look like idiots AGAIN!!!
Ireland finally write a quality song sung by sexy singer with a great voice for the eurovision............. and then......................send JEDWARD!!!! ..........I mean WTF!!!! If they closed the voting lines to girls under the age of 18, this song would sail through!!
go ireland =]
This isn't a ballad, genius.
so this song has not won but the lipstick... omg!!!! what a mistake to make!!!!
This wouldn't stand out in my opinion - I like it though! It would rub shoulders with Slovenia's Vanilija!
I think she should have got through not Jedward!
Good song... Too bad it didn't win...
krass... und so 2 typen sind weiter schon ungerecht
Waaay better tha that lipstick song..If this song was going to Eurovision I would have voted..
0 points to Jedward and 12 to her, from Greece!
@JedwardRepublic At least this sounds somewhat modern and like what is in the charts..Dat other load of shit hasnt a hope!!! With all due respect ur username is jedward republic, is someone just a bit biased??
well it gave ireland it's best result since 1997 so
thats a really nice song but i don#t think it will win because it isnt special

we'd never win with this. yeah its good. but nothing special.
meh voice doesnt stand out, quite grating to listen to actually. I preferred Jedward. Song is generic too im sure ive heard this song before in a hundred different versions...come on ireland lets actually stick some real talent out there some year please!
and lipstick won? LOL FAIL...
