You are joking!! Crystal Swing are an unintentional comedy act! There is little quality in this act and as a result this bland silliness would be ideal for Eurovision! they can not expect someone to take the song seriously or the lyrics "He drinks Tequila she talks dirty in Spanish"!! Bland predictable country music like this is the scourge of many talented musicians in Ireland and around the world. Most Irish country music is a dull hybrid of decent American country music where they have real quality on offer. e.g. Decent solos on acoustic instruments not on programmed keyboards! proper lyrics and a good overall country sound.

It's about time the talents of Crystal Swing are starting to be recognised on a national level. Crystal Swing for Eurovision 2010! http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=330155523769
