Interview Niamh Kavanagh - It's For You (Ireland)

Enjoy our great chat with Niamh from Ireland.
In the 1993 Eurovision Song Contest , before an international audience of over 350 million people, Niamh wowed audiences with a powerful rendition of In Your Eyes and achieved a resounding victory for Ireland. The second of Irelands famous three-in-a row victories, the song, In Your Eyes, went on to achieve double platinum status. Niamh has been singing for most of her life, beginning with choirs and small local bands, training her voice, while at the same time indulging her love for music. She really came into her own in 1990 when Alan Parker, director of The Commitments film, paid tribute to her vocal talent featuring her commanding renditions of several soul classics on the films hugely successful soundtrack album. She toured extensively with the group performing at such illustrious events as the 1992 Grammy Awards in New York and the Commitment to Life Concert in Los Angeles. Niamh has also collaborated with some of the finest Irish and international artists including, Mary Chapin-Carpenter, who featured on her debut album, Flying Blind.

She is so funny, humble, kind and beautiful woman, ah and so talented! I love her, and I want to see her in the final, placing 10 at least! She deserves to win as well.

She has a wonderful voice, her song is an anthem and she is soo cool and lovely and down to earth. :) Perfect. Go Niamh! Go Ireland!
Best wishes from Germany

After 10 years I am finally once again proud of an Irish entry for the Eurovision. Unsurprising really, since In Your Eyes is one of my favourite ESC songs ever--and one of my two favourite winners (Un jour, un enfant is the other).

Go raibh mile maith agat Niamh!

[A.AKHMETOV]

Wonderful voice! My winner of 2010!)) I love you <3

[miamalley]

go niamh . in your eyes is one of my favourite songs. You are a fab singer and did yourself proud. tonight XXX

[mastermaestro]

The best of luck to you Niamh! You are going to do us proud. You have a very good chance this year, I've noticed two OGAE juries have given you 12 points so I'd be very surprised if you don't get into the top 10 let alone qualify.

[MyThoughtsAreBelow]

Victory number 8 for Ireland? I doubt it, but I hope she qualifies :)

[ufuksnmez]

2:34 Where is she? Is she next to Niamh Kavanagh, Thea Garrett from Malta?

Rather strange considering it qualified in your own poll and is 8th in your Final. Why bother doing a poll in that case... My personal opinion ofc is that she not only will qualify but will be definitely top 10, I even think she can win it with a fantastic performance on the night, which she's capable of doing

her laugh about the shrimp jumping across the camera makes me laugh :L
