Brendan Murray Rachel Goode Ireland Eurovision 2022

After six years of internal selection, Ireland is returning to a national final for Eurovision 2022. And on Monday, the first two entries were played during Ryan Tubridy’s RTÉ Radio One show — Rachel Goode’s “I’m Loving Me” and Brendan Murray’s “Real Love”.

There will be six songs in total, with four more more entries premiering on the show throughout the week. Brooke Scullion has confirmed that her new single “That’s Rich” will debut on Wednesday’s edition of Tubridy’s show — indicating that it’s one of the six.

RTÉ has also confirmed that the Eurosong 2022 final will take place on Friday 4 February.

Eurosong 2022 — The first two acts

Rachel Goode — “I’m Loving Me”

Music by Thomas Karlsson / Johan Mauritzson / Joakim Övrenius
Lyrics by Anna Engh

Rachel is a classically trained soprano from Ballinasloe in County Galway. However, for Eurosong she’s crossed over to pop with the Scandi-bop “I’m Loving Me”. Joakim Ovrenius is one of the songwriters. He produced Poland’s “The Ride” in 2021. Karlsson and Mauritzson also wrote on Rafał’s track.

Brendan Murray – “Real Love”

Written and composed by Brendan Murray & Darrell Coyle

Rising to fame with the chart-topping boyband Hometown, Brendan Murray was internally selected to represent Ireland at Eurovision 2017 with “Dying To Try”. Despite investing in a large hot air balloon prop, Ireland stayed in the semi-final. Brendan returned to TV screens a little over a year later when he competed on the final season of the UK X Factor. He made it to the semi-final, placing fifth overall.

Brooke Scullion — “That’s Rich”

Brooke’s song wasn’t played. However she has already revealed her that her new single “That’s Rich” will be debuted by Tubridy on Wednesday — thereby indicating that’s she’s most likely one of the six finalists. She competed on the 2020 season of The Voice UK. She impressed all four judges with her blind audition, as they all turned their chairs. She eventually reached the final and finished joint third. 

Eurosong 2022: What we know so far

Six songs will compete for the Irish ticket to Turin during a special broadcast of The Late Late Show in February. The remaining four will be released throughout the week, also on Ryan Tubridy’s morning show.

All six songs will then be performed on The Late Late Show on RTÉ One on 4 February. Here, the Irish public will decide its representative for Eurovision 2022 along with input from both a national and international jury.

Ireland’s Head of Delegation Michael Kealy is enthusiastic about the return of a national selection. In September, saying in September that he was “very excited by the return of a Eurovision National Final on The Late Late Show and the prospect of giving the public a greater say in selecting our entry for Italy. Every year the Eurovision gets bigger and more competitive than ever and given the enormous exposure and huge financial rewards for the winner I’m hopeful that we will attract a very high calibre of songwriter and performer.”

The return of Eurosong selection comes on the back of two consecutive semi-final last places at Eurovision. In 2019, Sarah McTernan was bottom of the pack with “22”, while Lesley Roy suffered a similar fate with “Maps” in 2021.

What do you think of the first two songs? Is Ireland onto a winner? Let us know below.

Brendan Murray had his chance in 2017 and failed to get into the final so RTÉ give him the nod again with something equally bland. YAWN!

No way! Did anyone actually think after “The Ride” that it would be a good idea to hire these songwriters? “I’m loving me” is just as terrible, even though she sings better than Rafal. This song is a waste of her voice.

Brendan’s song is pretty boring. Rachel’s song, well the snippet sounds more promising than the other two.

I feel the need to add something. Finland uploads their songs with the official videos on their official You Tube channel. Malta did the same with their official lyrics videos today. Even Romania uploaded their songs on their YT channel alongside that photoshopped images of the artists. And Ireland… Two songs are uploaded separately, with one of them still not having the official studio version available. I mean, if RTE wants to be taken seriously, it goes beyond just having good songs. It’s also the way you treat them, and give them exposure.

Brendan’s recording is clearly a rough demo. Why not polish it up before releasing it, I wonder? I love his voice, and I always give credit to someone who writes their own song, but this flat recording doesn’t do him any favors. A warm, emotional performance would make a big difference, though. Good luck, Ireland!

Rachel Goode’s song reminds me of Rafal’s from Poland 2021. That’s not a good thing. Brendan Murray’s was nice but it didn’t do much for me. Not an impressive start Ireland.

I’m happy. There are a couple of “fan moments” for me here. I loved ‘The Ride’ as a “song for driving,” so naturally I really like ‘I’m loving me,’ as it is a natural sequel. Rachel Goode has a great voice and surprisingly suits the song well. I say “surprisingly” because I know what she can do with that soprano range, but credit to her that this track sounds totally awesome. There is one musical clanger in the song – I will leave it to you listeners to find it – but it’s only one awkward moment, so I really… Read more »

Let’s see…Rachel Goode — “I’m Loving Me”. The verses sound good to me actually, but then the chorus comes and yeah… this would have been good in Eurovision 2004 probably. The problem is that, while it tries to be retro, it falls just as dated, key change include. The lyrics are so cheesy too. Brendan Murray – “Real Love”. As a pop ballad is listenable, not too interesting but I’m not bothered while listening to it. As a contestant offers close to nothing at all. I mean, it is nothing I dislike but neither there’s anything I love. Brooke Scullion… Read more »

Totally agree! There are so many up and coming artists who, all things being equal, should be jumping at the opportunity to take part at Eurovision. The pop music industry is growing again in Ireland (after a few years of stagnation), so we aren’t we capitalising on that talent?

Rachel Goode’s background sounds very promising, but her song is so bland! You can tell it’s a rehash of ‘The Ride’s, and that was the most monotonous song we’ve had in a very long time. Seems like a waste of her talents! Not listened to the others yet, but it seems to confirm my worst fear- this will be a really dull selection with flat performances just like all the recent Irish finals!

Sadly Ireland’s outlook on the contest seems to very very similar as the UK’s, too much nostalgia and making little effort as it’s relitivly cheap to do and attracts solid viewing figures, so why bother to win? I know hosting a contest is expensive but surely it’s also very beneficial and profitable?

I have read that RTE is quite a clique-y organization, scarce on talent and originality but rife with nepotism and favortism. Whist their sports coverage is very good, apparently most of their output is bland and crummy, is this true?

Brendan’s song is quite sweet – though not sure ‘sweet’ gets you out of the SFs. It needs much more of an instrumental swell at the end for impact – it runs out of steam just when it should be going for it.

It seems like they just can’t get many quality Irish songwriters anymore. Which is probably their own fault. They don’t advertise the contest widely enough, it changes from year to year – nobody even knows how to enter, except a small circle of the usual factory people and others who are already actively interested.

So, so far we’ve got one song that’s a substandard derivative of a song that didn’t qualify for last year’s final and another song by an artist who’s voice has already failed to qualify for the final. I’m getting so tired of being disappointed in my country’s performance at Eurovision. RTE really need to scrap their entire delegation and find a better way. Let’s hope that the rest of the songs are better.

At this point, the Irish Delegation and the HOD should be taken over by Irish Eurovision Fans because I guarantee you that they’d do a better job of creating a national selection and picking out entries. It is a shame that the country has done so poorly and (as an Irish fan), I really do want them to do well

Letting Eurovision fans take over the selections of the countries would be a disaster from start to finish. All we’d end up with every year are upbeat female-led pop tracks, a few drag queens and not a lot else. Eurovision is so special because it’s about diversity in music and all tracks from all performers should be welcome as long as they don’t break the rules. Eurofan taste is very different to the taste of the general populace and I know quite a few people outside the eurofan bubble would like Brendan’s track.

There’s a simple solution: give the job to TG4. There, you’d get a lovely Irish song, from an IRISH composer (not Swedish) and at least then if we finish low, we are showing off our language. At this stage, RTÉ are competing with all the other countries who are offering English pop, and doing it better. I want us to well again, here’s hoping the next songs they release are a bit more promising!!

Okay so I was one of the few ones that had ireland in my top five before the contest in 2018 and look how well that did. Murray has an absolutely fantastic composition here that I think would at least get ireland back to the final and possibly a top ten depending on the competition.

I guarantee that out of 320 songs submitted these are NOT among the best. RTE said countless times that being an ”established artist” is a requirement, meaning that the majority of submitted entries were thrown in the trash before even given a chance. Bedroom Pop (meaning music produced by unestablished artists in their bedrooms) is one of the most popular genre’s at the moment. Artists like Clairo, Girl in Red and Gus Dapperton all started out with ZERO experience but became overnight sensations thanks to bedroom pop. RTE needs to widen their perspectives and realise that just because an artist… Read more »

To sum up: RTE needs a drastic change when it comes to ESC. They need to start giving upcoming and unestablished artists a chance instead of relying on bland XFactor rejects with ZERO personality and uniqueness. I think Irish people need to demand an online selection next year, or else they will be disappointed for years to come. Do what the Spanish eurofans did, annoy your broadcaster until they give in and are forced to take a new stance on ESC.

The craziest thing is it’s not as if Ireland are short of some very unique music from some great artists. They even do a artist of the year award on RTE2FM they could even use that as the platform for our entry. Denise Chaila, Dermott Kennedy, Lyra, ruth Allen all came from this AirPlay and recognition. It’s simply insanity to not even offer the position to the winner of that award. Even still associating the Eurovision to that shambles of a show like LLS simply proves that they haven’t thought anything through. He even said on the radio “we’re going… Read more »

Clairo is huge, I doubt she would consider Eurovision given she is constantly touring the world and has over 8M followers online. Irish bedroom-pop artists like Blonde Soda, Aby Coulibaly, Yenkee, Biig Piig, Malaki, LAOISE and Gemma Dunleavy would kill it at Eurovision.

But the artists that RTE selects aren’t that good on stage either. Lesley had poor vocals, Sarah had both poor vocals and no stage presence. Artists from previous years weren’t that great too. So I guess Ireland could give a chance to less experienced artists. They wouldn’t perform worse than “the estabilished artists”

Whilst I agree that many bedroom-pop artists aren’t great at performing live, there’s always plenty of undiscovered stars waiting for an opportunity like Eurovision to shine and establish a career. Ireland could give these artists this platform since the majority of (decent) established Irish artists don’t want to go to Eurovision because of the general public perception of the contest. RTE has surely seen by now that being an established performer means nothing if you don’t have originality, uniqueness and personality. I think the best way to combat both of these issues would be if RTE invited these bedroom/unknown artists… Read more »

You’re seeing it in a quite naive way, I guess. All of bedroom pop artists were having some sort of industry ties, so they’re not really self-made and all exist in the same circles. The problem with Ireland on ESC is that exactly. Their “experienced performers” are just folks who broadcaster knows well. So, essentially, bedroom pop or not doesn’t matter. It changes nothing.

If you’re gonna drudge up a song from Sweden, “from the guy that gave us The Ride” was definitely not the way to go…Brendan’s song sounds pleasant and non-competitive but I give him all the credit in the world for writing it himself. He does have a unique voice. Maybe the best is yet to come and Ireland is going in the opposite way of Whatever Finland is doing in releasing tracks

Can’t say I’m surprised by the selection so far. I was quite concerned by our HOD’s lack of knowledge of our selection process, why we’ve not gotten the best results and not knowing Alexander Rybak’s name. He is using the same old excuse of Eurovision has changed so much as an excuse for not doing well and that many countries sing in English so its harder for Ireland to stand out. Like fact of the matter, were not doing well because our entries aren’t good enough. Any Eurovision fan could tell you this but yet its a big mystery to… Read more »

The problem with Rachel’s song is not “the 80’s vibe”, but the generic and soulless that the song sounds. About Brendan, I have to admit that I liked “Dying to try” (or trying to die), but this one, I don’t get it… about the snipet from Brooke, I have to want but I don’t feel anything promissing from it… I really love Ireland as a country, and specially as a eurovision country, but I feel they are not doing any effort, maybe the whole delegation must be replaced.

Brendan’s song is really nice. But then again, he was in my top 10 in 2017. The upside and downside of returning artists whose previous songs were your personal favorites, are the big expectations.
