Ireland 2020: Lesley Roy - Story of My Life

[dUb]

Ok this is very promising.

Thisispopbaby are well-known in Dublin for creating striking, unique, queer pieces of theatre.

 

[Alla]

Ireland promising? Well that's a first!

 

[SDF]

Together remains one of my favourites from the last few years

 

[Penelope]

Crossing my cunt for PANTI BLISS X ROTTERDAM

 

[Kala]

The rumours were a singer called Soulé but I think that's not true. I've heard it IS a female act though.

 

[VoR]

I've heard a few rumours that this lady has been approached, but it might just be fanboy wishful thinking.

 

[dUb]

ok who has who on ignore

 

[Kala]

ok who has who on ignore

I listened to the stuff Soulé has on Spotify and she would instantly be the best Irish entrant of the last 20 years if not longer but I don't see it myself.

 

[VoR]

I've still not forgiven him for coming for me in the Moopyvision Latvia thread.

 

[Diddy]

You’re not the only two who hear Eurovision rumours you know? You’re NOTHING SPECIAL YOU KNOW!!

*smashes a glass on the wall*

 

[straightorbroken]

So are the Ireland heats still as, er, heated as past "gobshite" highlights?

The description sounds much excite indeed.

 

[VoR]

The act is confirmed to be LGBT+

 

[GinAg (39)]

The act is confirmed to be LGBT+

Stop being Qist!!!!!

 

[VoR]

Latest rumour, and one that seems to be gathering steam, is that it's Lesley Roy.

She had some (mild) success in America in the late 00s before transitioning primarily to songwriting. She's penned material for Adam Lambert among others.

 

[Alla]

Did they make an official announcement to say it's an LGBT+ act?

 

[dUb]

Did they make an official announcement to say it's an LGBT+ act?

The Creative Director spoke to the gay magazine in Dublin and mentioned it

Didn't I enter that into A Song For Moopy years ago?

 

[Kala]

A third-rate Avril Lavigne is not what Ireland needs. But then they can’t do worse than last year, so...

 

[Alla]

But then they can’t do worse than last year

Even if they try, they CAN'T.

 

[VoR]

That song is over a decade old, so I'd hope her sound has evolved a bit. I'd be happy with a confident live performer who can really deliver onstage.

Sarah did all of that!

 

[Penelope]

Oh I AM pleased with your new avatar

 

[GinAg (39)]

Oh I AM pleased with your new avatar

She's an overlooked Eurovision ICON.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I mean the UK gave her THREE POINTS. That must count for something!

 

[dUb]

Out next Thursday and being talked up here

 

[SDF]

The Irish one is a WHOPPER

 

[dUb]

So it’s Story of My Life by Lesley Roy and it’s on the way in a few hours

 

[Zu]

I thought the teaser showed EIGHT LEGS? Please God tell me that she’s not some sort of OCTOPUS!

 

[Ill Advised]

https://2fm.rte.ie/ - at 8.45am

 

[SDF]

Waiting patiently for this

 

[Zu]

Moi aussi. Also quite liking an Irish accent of a Thursday morning. Must do this more often

 

[Kevin]

Hurry up please. I can't keep my students out much longer.

 

[Zu]

Sounds quite a lot like KENNY CLARKSON

 

[Ill Advised]

Well this is fun

 

[Kevin]

It's fine, but EPIC and on the same level as Euphoria it really isn't. Why overselling it?

 

[SDF]

It’s very catchy. I can see it doing well.

 

[Zu]

I’m not sure it’s QUITE as amazing as I was hoping for but FFS this is easily the best Irish entry in AEONS!

 

[Samuel]

Hmm, it sounds like something you’d have found a few folders deep on Max Martin’s hard drive in 2007. ‘Marry Me’ but sung by Kelly Clarkson instead of Katy Perry.

 

[SDF]

Yeah it doesn’t quite sound like the winner they are selling it to be

 

[dUb]

Taking a breath in the middle of a word always irks me.

Other that that, it falls short of the hype for me, but clearly a decent entry. It’ll stand out among the others too.
