Nicky, Nicky, Nicky… sigh…
There was HUGE disconnect between what Nicky sounded like in the produced version and what he sounded like live. His voice wasn’t bad, just much smaller. Surprised me quite a bit.
I felt like this song was going for the “first listen” audience. The first time I heard it, I really liked it. But the shelf-life was short. I thought it might work for the TV audience because for many, the grand final is their first listen to the songs. But, it didn’t work.
Ireland the country of the four leaf clover the country with the most eurovision victories fail to qualify for another final. Nicky’s song Sunlight was an okay pop song. Its a song when you first hear it you think its good but its not a song you remember. It didn’t make my top ten for that semi final
I didn’t mind the song, it was typical Eurovision and nothing to really dislike about it. Surprised it didn’t get through to the final.
