Eurovision Review: Ireland

[passionpop]

Ireland have won more Eurovisions than any other country. 3 times it was the fault of Australia's Johnny Logan. Eurovision was also where Riverdance was unleashed on the world... and this years Eurovsion paid homage to that in their clip...Donna & Joe, "Love?"

(unrelated song of the day) Ireland - Tori Amos (only because she is in Perth ATM)
Drivin' in my Saab
On my way to Ireland
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
Drivin' with my friends
On my way to Ireland
It's been a long time
It's been a long time

I have always thought of tori amos as a little pretentious... anyway back to Eurovision. Joe is one of the younger entrants of Eurovision. the youngest Eurovision winner was 15 (apparently, there are rumours she was younger). Joe is only 17 and his sister donna is 20

this song is not a favourite entry by an means. most UK reviews I have heard say this song sucks. I don't know. I agree with most of the lyrics but I don't know about the rest. It might turn out to be number 8 for Ireland though, if Donna & Joe have enough "Love?"

"LOVE?"
Composer: Karl Broderick
Performers: DONNA & JOE

Love can build you up     
Love can tear you down
Love can change the world
This is what I’ve found
Love can make you happy
Love can make you cry
Love can be the best
Until it’s passed you by

Do you wanna, do you wanna    
Do you wanna fall in love?
Do you need it?
Can you feel it?
Do you think you’re strong enough?

Can you fake the highs?    
Can you take the lows?
Can you handle everything love throws?

Chorus

Love can build you up     
Love can tear you down
Love can change the world
This is what I’ve found
Love can make you happy
Love can make you cry
Love can be the best
Until it’s passed you by

If you want it come and get it    
Even though you know the score
I will love you
I will hate you then
I’ll love you even more
Can you handle love can you handle pain?  
Can you handle everything I’m saying?

Chorus

Love will capture you whole       
With your body and soul
Love is taking control of your senses
Love is guilty as tried      
Love has no alibi
Love is breaking down all your defenses
Love …….        
Love can make you sorry     
Love can make you weep
Love can take you over even when you sleep
Love can give you heaven
Love can make you high
Love can make you cheat and love can make you lie

Chorus
