Nicky Byrne - Sunlight (Ireland) Live at Semi-Final 2 of the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest

[@HelenBelither-v6s]

My beautiful Nicky really impressed me with his magic Bryan Adam s singing voice. And he really does sing s like Bryan Adam’s and Gary Barlow I just can’t take my eyes off him

[@HelenBelither-v6s]

My Nicky singing is the Sunlight of my heart 💙/ soul

[@a.e2385]

Nicky impressed me with his vocals!!! Love Ireland, lived there for 5 years and will always be my second home, it's full with such amazing friendly people, it seriously is the best place on earth!

I always sing your song in WeSing😅. Nag-eenjoy ako sa lightnings ng official video nito. Dati (back january 2016) naririnig ko lang ito sa radyo. Ngayon hindi na. I just save your songs on my phone and always play your songs from Westlife to your solo careers. And also people here, were just download your songs. Kasi 'di na naririnig sa radyo. Everytime when i ride bus or jeepney, palaging piniplay, akala ko radyo, hindi pala. Dinownload lang nila from their flashdrive.

[@jesperhjellnes5861]

He should have qualified. Maybe his live vocals wasn't the best, but the song is so nice. I've liked it since I heard it for the first time, and it makes me so happy. I voted for him, along with Belgium and FYR Macedonia.

[@adamtorok5825]

I feel sorry for Nicky :( Would have love to see him in the Final, nice catchy song but Ireland is always underrated in recent years. Love from Hungary

[@toppop100]

This got my vote for the winning song - by far, the best melody and beat of any entered this year (out of those in the semi finals). But, astonishingly, it didn't even go through. I'm totally perplexed.

[@TheMac429]

+toppop100 Chap was behind even Kian Egan in vocals in Westlife, so that should give you a good indication of why this was one of the lowest scoring songs in the semi final

[@toppop100]

It was the best song in the whole competition, regardless of what you think of his vocals. In any case, many really bad singers got through, e.g., Hungary, and the awful woman from Ukraine won.

[@TheMac429]

As someone from Ireland, I think that's a bit strong to say it was 'the best song'. It was very cliche and cringy, ultimately, and even contained the words 'lover boy', which made me shudder with revulsion. Hungary's song was dreadful but his vocals were far superior to Nicky's and Ukraine had a very good and meaningful song with a similarly good vocal performance.

[@loveyourleagueloveyourleag800]

+toppop100 I think the fact that he sang the entire song out of key may have contributed to its failing.

[@nickoseventeen9812]

That line 'I can be your lover boy' made me stop breathing for seconds

[@Khloeen3718]

true!!

[@metoyoubearakia]

So sad he didn't pass the song is so catchy... Tonight vote for #CYPRUS please.. We don't have any neighbor friends.. We need you.. Vote for the different.. Let's do it this year..

He might not be the best singer from Westlife but he was by far the best male artist that evening and the sexiest one, too. :) I wish we could see him again in the Grand Final. :(

A better vocalist than his time in westlife allowed. My dad frequently runs into him and he's a dead nice guy too

Don't know what it is about the song but it got a nice warm and soft feeling to it, just feels very cozy and a perfect summers song really. I liked it, shame it didn't make it to final along with Bulgaria, Poland and Ukraine. The 4 best Eurovision songs we've had for a while.

I love the performance , though I do think there are space for improvement of Nicky . Overall , the song itself is very good , the lyrics is very engaging and optimistic , and I think Nicky can express the meaning of the song very well , you see that the voice and tone are proper . However , if you had seen Nicky's performance in Westlife , you will agree with me thinking that Nicky havn't done his best . I really think Nicky used to sing really well when he was still in Westlife . Anyway , keep going Nicky , I will support you forever !
