Despite (apparently) dealing with a tooth infection, Sarah was all smiles on her pop art stage singing her heart out for Ireland today, and ending with a cute wink.
I’m not sure if there were too many props (the fake ice cream sundaes could go); there was an unfortunate legs-akimbo moment with the bar stool at one point. The bar also seemed a little too high, and Sarah nearly went a clacker jumping down in heels.
There were some really weird camera shots – too much time spent on the audience, and a laughably awful overhead shot where Sarah was seen lying on the ‘counter of the diner. She looked like she’d been served up on a tray. They’d have done well to keep things far simpler.
The Irish certainly have one of the brightest backgrounds and it’s a cheerful song with appropriate staging, but for some reason the song itself didn’t seem to grab much in the way of attention.
Qualifying? No
