Ireland had its national final for Eurovision song contest 2025 on Friday night as part of Late Late Show. The show itself was the usual homely, a bit clumsy affair on a stage that really didn't work for best to the acts. Indeed the only one that seemed like a ready package was the winner that performed last and showed how poor the others were. Adgy, as much as I actually like the song, on stage was missing all energy, Bobby was missing voice and seemed a Bambie light, Reylta was just three minutes of "fireeee-eeeeee, fireeee-eeeee", Samantha's song didn't go anywhere even if she brought even the Irish dancing on stage and joined in - those 10 seconds were on top, the rest was not. Niyl's performance was like a school play, including the outfit and look and then finally came Emmy bringing us back in times she wasn't even born; a perfect time capsule to the 1990's with a voice that was there, catchy as hell and who doesn't like the idea of poor Laika still in the space in her capsule having a disco party every night?! It was also such a joy to watch her win as she was so overjoyed and couldn't believe it, while during the votes faces of Adgy and Bobbi were... well, a bit sour.
Well done, Ireland.
