He looks like a child that was asked to stand up in the sitting room to sing for his aunties.

Just checked this is playing at 58bpm.

If that was your heartbeat you'd need meds asap.

He's got a good voice, just needs a proper song behind it.

The helium from the balloon seems to have affected his voice.

Why does Marty always have to say that Ireland's performance was terrific, if he doesn't get through he'll say we were robbed.

Seriously, why is the staging so bad this year? Backing singers not on stage and most performers just standing in the middle of the stage barely moving.
