Donna and Joe - Love? (Ireland) Live - Eurovision Song Contest 2005

[@mrkd2k10]

All these years on it looks like Donna was made to bring Joe to Eurovision by their mam

[@kornstar1988]

i thought the same thing, it looks like she was supposed to be on her own, but this guys dad is funding it so he was allowed to tag along. No its just a really really cringeworthy performance.

[@williampeters1736]

Most people say Joe is cringy in this clip, I think he is adoreable ❤.

[@lighthouse620]

I still think about this comment now and then two years latter good craic

[@ESCTom]

I love the totally inexplicable Irish dancing dancebreak 😭

[@LaVoixCZ]

High school musical - Irish edition.

[@grantferguson8372]

You know, High School Musical wouldn't come out for another year, ie it was released in 2006

[@npcunniffe]

We sang this every day during school lunch for an entire year.

[@ksica]

i loved it then, i love it now :P they are so cute!

[@GM-sp3fb]

This song is amazing. I love it. 2024 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sheriwoozidan]

i really love this song, it's so cute and i love the tap dancing! although i wish we could've heard joe's voice a bit more!

[@josephmccaul1691]

Thank you ❤

[@johnoflaherty9105]

​@josephmccaul1691 you are both talented singers

[@ΚυριάκοςΚωφίδης-θ8φ]

If this song performed before 1999 it would won the second place behind my number one

[@ezioauditore6038]

Donna has a pretty good voice

[@NeverAgain1985]

She has a great voice

[@M_W_L_F]

Shouldn't the duo be titled "Donna ft Joe"?

[@goldenconstellations9887]

It really felt more like her song than his

[@22nd_Place_Vasil]

Yeah I didn't hear him in the chorus ...

[@markosroussos2463]

Joe is a backing singer

[@slofreeman1704]

Still think it's a crime we didn't see them in the grand final. Love 💛

[@RossMcCarthy1990]

The fact that this represented Ireland was a crime worthy of the death penalty.

[@lgbtes]

Where is this happy and funny, my beloved, Ireland? Miss it

[@VioletWillowTree]

It's sort of hard to listen to, but if you go with it, it starts to be just madcap fun XD

[@pimmagrimm]

Is that a form of Stockholm syndrome? But Eurovision style

[@tomcapel7939]

Joe showed some fine wrestling moves: two times he went for the spinning backfist and after the bridge he obviously wanted to clothesline dancer from the behind

[@ufuksnmez98]

After 1998 Spain we have Ron Weasley in 2005.

[@fabb4i2]

I really don't get what he's doing there lol.

[@BegueBackspinner88]

Which Weasley brother was he again?

[@Devil_-zy6vv]

This is one of my guilty pleasures XD

The song was dreadful.

OH MY GOD STOPPPPP

[@thomasmcmahon1263]

Brilliant

[@arvinroidoatienza7082]

Not bad, Ireland. But Donna should be the sole singer here since the guy's voice is so weak compared to hers. Although I must say, he dances better than the backing dancers.

[@cianhynes6450]

I met Joe at my drama a few years ago as he was there as a guest to teach singing, he didn't half love himself... banging on about this, as if it was something to be proud of

[@karlJCompton]

It is something to be proud of. He performed in front of over 100 million people doing what he loves.

[@allnotone]

Ya he always came across as a bellend to be fair

[@IzayoiArwena]

So bad that i like it

[@nockeynoo]

for me, i like this song, coz reminds me indonesian dangdut music~

[@IzayoiArwena]

DDRxPNM this is why i love it too. So oriental. Tarkanish

[@jutjubow]

@@IzayoiArwena It is not Tarkanish, it is Crapanish on the other hand.

[@IrishKeshiHead]

I would have done a bit more for our act. We could have had two male singer/dancers/drummers to balance the song out. Poor Joe was so outnumbered and felt like he wasn't giving enough output to the song. So i would do the ideal thing as follows, Starting with the Chorus with Joe and Donna doing the chorus together, Having Donna taking the first verse with joe coming in by the end, then the second verse with joe singing then with donna. Then the next verse would have Joe doing the first half and Donna on the second half and Donna keeping the "Love" line for herself and then the final verse the two together. Among that, we would have Two female dancers, one male dancer/singer and one male drummer on one of the podiums doing the drumming so when the moments of the song going "Bom-bom-ba-bom" would have the drummer using the kettle bells or massive drums as a main instrument. Also when the moment came for the dancers, they should have made a massive pyrotechnical flash happen as the dancers began, then another at the end once the song finished. Also the outfits for Donna and Joe could have been made a fair bit better to be honest.

[@esccyanx]

I love the tap-dancing part.

[@senandoyle1144]

[@OrphanAndy]

Worse than I remember. I came here after learning that RTE chose the writer of this noise to be on our Jury for Eurovision 2021!! lol No wonder we keep coming last when they keep rewarding failure.

[@DentalFlan]

So 2005..

[@GergoMarosvari]

I still don't understand, how we gave 10 points to this?

[@aleksanderpagels288]

I guess it may be because this performance included similar choreography as that in your country's song in 2005.

[@daniel91503]

I didnt feel comfortable to watch that 😂😅

[@brianmcd9492]

Great duet by Donna and Joe well done👍 Looking back on euro classics a show that really is about fashion rather than singing ability🙂The most abstract dressed and worst singers win the show......

[@treasalynam8940]

Lo- huh oh- huh- HUUUUV!!!!

[@Caroline84fighter]

I miss this ! I want to see something sweet like this representing Ireland 2025 not witchcraft occult creepy stuff like this year.

[@AlirioAguero2]

It's dumb, but cute. A guilty pleasure.

[@goldenconstellations9887]

Honestly, I didn't really care for it the first time I watched it, but watching it a second time I realized it's actually pretty decent. The elements fit together better than you would think. and there's a good song hidden underneath. The dancer's feel like such a weird addition and feel like a bit much though, I think if you took them away, you would have an entry like Malta's entry in 2004 and I think it would have been received better, because they are both fine on their own

[@nockeynoo]

this melody sounds like Indonesian music

[@yudhistiramahasena1255]

Yes, like the Indonesian girl group Dewi Dewi. Tata Janeeta was part of them.

[@anthonyfranco88]

oh, the cheese

[@mjstefansson7466]

Had more chance of qualification with 'My Lovely Horse' that year

[@niamh-sy2dd]

my sphe teacher😂😂

[@liamholton8937]

This was a good song, but the thing is they were both way too young and too inexperienced to cope with the pressure of ESC at the time. But they're both doing good now, especially Donna as she went to Eurosong in 2012 as a solo artist.

[@firstindigo]

Sorry now, but Donna and Dustin would've been better than that

[@some.random.baldie2111]

This got 12 points off the UK televoters! 🤪 The song isn't that bad and Ireland have sent worse than this (the turkey and the bint last year). Also I will add this was the only feisable choice in that national final as the other two would have done much worse and just points off the UK.

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

God were the other two songs just white noise? 😂

[@pimmagrimm]

It's the moment Ireland does 'Jemini'

[@DK-tm2kt]
