🇮🇪 Leila Jane "Wild" Reaction | Ireland Eurosong 2023

[@sinead187]

Send Leila Jane to Liverpool. The girl can sing & the song is wild. Show her some love. ❤️

From Debans expression, you wouldn't have thought he liked this. I was honestly preparing for him to rip it to shreds towards the end so was very relieved he didn't haha 🙈

This is actually my fav from the whole selection, its the only one, that made it into my Spotify On Repeat. Really hope that this deliveres live - I'm looking forward to Friday.

[@mikewhelan7692]

Winner winner .. for sure

[@irishpigeon4428]

Great to see deban like a few of the Irish songs for once lol 🤣🤣🤣

[@Sk88p]

I had already heard the snippets of the songs.This one was my favorite. Now hearing the full version, i like it even more. Sounds very much like a Swedish production. In the good sense!

[@douzethelimit]

It's Connolly or Leila Jane for me! Both are amazing!

[@Ryan_Nesbitt]

Her voice is similar to Sia, instantly made it to my Spotify playlist

[@frajoladellagato]

Easily my favorite and I think a sleeper to win Ireland’s selection. Better than Connolly IMO.

It almost slipped my mind that Aaron Sibley (from last year's Sanmarinese selection) co-wrote this. :)

Leila Jane and Connelly are my favs for eurosong. Whilst I do love "Wild" I do echo Williams concerns about staging, it could be elevated or fall flat depending on how it looks live. I have no fear she can produce it live as she is a great live performer and if the video is anything to go by it might interesting to have her quite static and almost still which might create an interesting counterbalance to the track. Let her voice and the song shine. She has suggested that the dancer will be involved somehow in the live show which makes me a little fearful as this may be tasteful or tacky. Connelly, however, is a demo and so there is great potential for her song to improve via a revamp and further production. Also, I get more of an Irish musical influence from her song that will stand out at eurovision and potentially could do better. The ambient quality mixed with the subtle electronic undertones in the track gives it somewhat of a hypnotic quality and could be a moment if performed and staged well. These two songs would e great at eurovision but I feel Connelly may have a greater chance of qualification to the final because it doesn't sound like anything else that we will likely see this eurovision season.

Connolly’s song is so boring it would actually make people fall asleep. Especially in that 1st half of the 1st semi. Leila Jane or Adgy all the way!! My third being Wild Youth

[@frajoladellagato]

The staging concerns could just as easily apply to Connolly who only has a half-baked song. At least this is a complete song and more energetic. I’m open to Connolly surprising with a revamp but at this point give me Leila all day every day!!

[@BecxKK]

In the studio/demo versions I think this one does sound the best but from what they did live I can see how this placed where it did 🙁

[@yoksnod]

the studio production value for Irelend was awful in my opinion. especially if you compare it to the likes of Norway's selection process and performances. it also perhaps suited some better than others. certainly didn't agree with the final votes. this was a definite top 3, if not top 2 for me. would be very surprised, indeed shocked if Ireland were to win now. winning song didn't do it for me.

[@jimw859]

Sadly this just didn't work in the live performance for me - I liked the song but it's just lacked the spark of the video in the studio

[@annip5573]

Germany is waiting ....

[@olsza_o]

let them rest girl they'll update everything

[@bornwithoutconsentobviously]

For what?

[@jerryhehe]

you know if sweden sent this song it would qualify easily

[@sannev8407]

I like the song, but there are better ones in the selection
