The reaction to the Irish entry across all platforms has been very positive....something that really hasn’t been felt this century. I love our entry, I think it’s very strong and I think it could very much qualify from that tough semi final. That being said, there is so far an absence of a live vocal performance, so we really don’t know yet if she can deliver the song live as intended. Maps might be heavily produced and her vocals ‘enhanced’ on the track but it might be an easier song to deliver than Story Of My Life last year. I do love hearing an expert opinion about it though so thank you👍🏻😉
@cartmanskittykat2197 3 роки тому
Yeah that's my worry. After her a Story Of My Life performance on the Late Late Show I was kinda glad Eurovision had been cancelled last year and thought we had received a stay of execution. I hope that her performance last year was just an off day and she knocks it out of the park in the semis.

Chris here from English band Fosteur. You are quite right about the production and I hope it will better live and hope her voice holds up, cos she is giving everything. This is a nice song though and very Irish. All of these productions are Universal Music - which means horrible low-dynamic recordings. Some songs sounding better live than the recordings. Looking forward to seeing this lady the final.

Agree about production.Often,there's no clarity in the words.For a multilingual audience,this could be a big drawback.Good drive and oomph to the catchy chorus.Contender,if production is radically changed.Thin out the upper tinniness,and boost the bass drive,as you say.Super analysis.
@alyssamurray2330 2 роки тому
Such a shame with this song. Was one of my faves but it didn’t even manage to qualify which is shocking because it’s a fab song but unfortunately I wasn’t surprised. Totally agree with the comments about production. First time I heard it I was like ooo I love it as a song but the vocals aren’t strong/ loud enough in the mix and her diction could have been better. Such a shame, I kinda want them to re- produce/ re-record it??

@alexberrian6719 3 роки тому
The mixing will probably be different for the contest though. It was already different at the Late Late Show premiere. And the issue isn’t so much overproduction as much as a mixing issue... all the instrumentation is appropriate and the vocals could sound strong, but the levels are all off.

I’m glad you are highlighting these issues - it bothers me how hard it is to hear her singing. This sort of mixing is probably standard for metal and classic rock recordings but not appropriate for a modern pop song. The track really could use a remaster.

@sheila6186 2 роки тому
Her voice also sounded quiet and weak in the live performance in the Eurovision Semi-Finals last night. The song was way too big for her voice, and it wasn't even a very good song anyway. The song she was meant to enter in last year's Eurovision, 'The Story Of My Life', was FAR SUPERIOR and, in my opinion, that song would have WON (if last year's Iceland entry wasn't such a good song). In the recording of the song 'Maps', it sounds like her voice has been Autotuned because her voice sounds almost robotic compared to her voice in last night's performance.

Ireland has sadly been doing very badly in Eurovision during the 2000s. I feel that this song is a slight return to form. Lesley’s 2020 song was very dated and boring. 2019 was very disappointing. 2018 was a lovely entry, but it was not perfect. Both Lesley’s entry feel dated and like Katy Perry’s old songs.
@cathalsheehan9596 3 роки тому
Just because you don't like a song doesn't make it dated.

Nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia - a lot of chart songs in 2020 and into 2021 were going back to the 80s with their productions.
@martinmoll8363 3 роки тому
Katy perry’s old songs are best, these are nostalgic songs from every other american artist from 2010s and they srent outdated, they are good and its npstalgia nothing else.
@chloejones1548 2 роки тому
Thought this review was pretty spot on tbh. I think it's a fantastic song but the bombastic production does drown out Lesley's vocals. Brutally honest? I don't think Lesley was the right singer for this song. She's a good singer but it's just too big for her IMO. Nevertheless, I'm gutted it didn't make the finals, but sadly Lesley's vocals were to be brutal very poor at the semi-final. Such a shame
@nataliyakravchenko4994 2 роки тому

@Mr5tom 2 роки тому
This a was very weak song and done nothing for the Irish reputation in Europe. Quoted 150/1 by the bookies. Her performance was not great and the song did not help. People built this song up, to be Irelands best chance in years, We have better talent and writers . Why this song was chosen is a mystery, Since her song for last year was again very bad and would not have qualified for the 2020 competition. Anyone who said this was a great song, should get their hearing examined. She tried??

i thought last years Ireland entry was quite dated like it was Avril Lavigne circa 2007 but this song is even worse, it is Jason Derulo levels of Autotune that you cant even hear a vocal. They may as well have the Crazy Frog fronting the song.
