[@Iggy3]

She controls her voice so incredibly. It's fascinating to watch and listen to her

[@BagznBirdz]

The voice control and the ease of singing is so great here. She has no strong theatrics - she just stands there and sings. The song speaks for itself.

[@stephenhough4957]

Totally, Iggy3, it’s worth watching again and again to appreciate the pacing, the vocal control & the build up of emotion. It’s perfect, a wonderful song, wonderfully sung.

What a beautiful lady Niamh Kavanagh really is and won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1993

[@islayy3690]

Ireland doesn’t often get much credit for our winners, but this is a truly phenomenal song and undoubtedly one of our best

[@Alexgmusictech]

Probably one of the best ballads ever written. And arguably the most worthy winner. I can't stop listening to this captivating song.

One of the very best ESC songs. Niamh's singing is incredible - powerful, controlled, emotional. So glad it won.

Hey Handsome 😘❤

[@JeSuisRene]

Certainly. This is quickly becoming my favourite Irish entry of the 90s. While I initially despised this entry, I now believe this was a deserved winner. Also this means that to my taste, 1993 had the correct songs in the top 3 (albeit in the wrong order; my order is 🥉🇮🇪, 🥈🇬🇧, 🥇🇨🇭)

[@philipdawson7800]

Perhaps the greatest winning moment in Eurovision history. With 11 points between Ireland & the UK & Malta's 12 remaining, that "and finally... IRELAND" call, and the entire of Ireland jumping & screaming in joy. Amazing moment!!

It was more about the fact they almost bankrupt the broadcaster. They were a victim of their own success and it cost a fortune to stage. So they put through terrible entries.... might win again soon though.

I'm walking a tightrope Here, in your arms, I'm alive In your eyes, I see the light I see forever in your smile This woman is a child again Oh... in your eyes (I see the light leading me home again) I see the light, I see the light (It's heaven in your arms, my love) (My heart is in your hands) Whoa...

Diggi loo diggy Ley is definitely not one of the best eurovison songs ever. The most memorable ones in my opinion are... Niamh Kavanagh, teach in, brotherhood of man, ABBA, sandie Shaw, Johnny Logan, lena and Olsen brothers... Some great songs that didn't win are cliff Richard (robbed) new seekers (robbed) Liam Reilly (robbed) and Jalisse (robbed).
