Day 14 - your favourite Irish entry

1978 Ireland : Colm C T Wilkinson - Born to sing

A tough category but a simple choice in the end.

Colm has gone on to much greater things since (and before ESC) and this showmanship really does come out in his performance. His diction of the song is perfect and he really seems to sing the song and make it meaningful. Also in this sing is a good example of tempo changes between the verses and the choruses.

Like most great ESC songs, the live perofmance is much better than the studio version.

Am also loving the curtains nicely worn by the backing singers...
