	What do I think of this?
	I know I've quite often unecessarily unfair, generally bitchy, and almost always sarcastic when it comes to our beloved weaker efforts in every contest, but this has tested my resolve. Ireland have delivered a crap in a jiffy bag to the doorstep of the EBU. They always run their pre-selection in a joyfully amateurish manner while at the same time mostly managing to pull one half-decent effort from the ether. This year they really have landed a My Lovely Horse from the six atrocious wanabees. The song has been written by contributors to the pre-eminent Eurovision fan site, and I can only presume they had the 8 year old market in mind. 21 year old "really should know better" Sinead will be dressed up a bit like Toni Basil in a pink frisbee thing. It still may qualify. Incredible.



	KPI's - Wind machine set to strong breeze, youth club
		Ireland goes with a all-girl pop-rock band Black Daisy and the young female singer Sinéad Mulvey. According to them they will 'rock Russia' with their song Et Cetera! Sinéad Mulvey 21 year-old Sinéad Mulvey started singing professionally at the age of thirteen when she was picked from hundred of girls for the lead role of Cinderella in a Dublin pantomine. Her passion for singing and dancing set alight, she has been working consistently on her stage performance since, appearing in many high-profile productions and TV programmes in Ireland. Sinéad came very close to representing Ireland in the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest when she made it to the national final Sinéad says, "I have been a Eurovision fan for as long as I can remember. Representing Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest is truly a dream come true for me and I can't wait to Rock Russia with Black Daisy and Et Cetera!" Black Daisy are an all girl pop/rock group who hail from Dublin, Ireland. 26 year-old LA Halvey (short for Lesley-Ann) from Limerick is singer and bassist, 21-year-old Nicki Billings, from Wicklow is on guitar, while Asta Mileriene, originally from Alytus, Lithuania is the drummer. Black Daisy are a fun loving upbeat band, with influences ranging from 80s music to pop/chart music and of course good old Rock'n'Roll!
