I've just been watching this on Youtube. Lesley Roy singing 'Story of My Life'. I absolutely love it, and to me her voice sounds very similar to that of Katy Perry.
Anyone else heard it yet and likes it too?

Ridiculous fake American accent punctuated by weird gasps. I couldn't make out a word.

Terrific video production though.

It seems very 'woke' (if I've got this new word correct!) I liked the video very much.
Anyone think it has some chance of scoring points in the Contest?

Sorry, that was me - forgot to sign in and get my cookie thing. (digestive biscuit? hobnob?)

There's a danger it might win, but the Irish economy's booming again so we can probably afford to mount the affair in 2021.

Here's the 'official' video.

As for her accent, she sounds like a typical Dub and her enunciation is perfectly clear to me. You should be glad, Jack, that it's not this Derry girl performing Ireland's entry - Nadine Coyle.

It certainly has that old-school thing to it.

Thank you Modette for doing the blue clicky. (I'm useless with technology)

It’s a decently-produced pop song, in the vein that pop songs are currently floating around in. She sings in a ‘fake’ voice, and with the standard strange accent and diction that actually exists nowhere on earth outside the Pop-Music-Bubble.

It will probably do very well in the EVSC.

'Modette' - Irish economy is in great danger from the Coronavirus - possibly greater than the recession!

Usual sort of thing they play in the Gents at the Sports Centre. Mechanised accompaniment and inconsequential song sung by who cares.
