Sinéad Mulvey speaks to esctoday.com
Congratulations on just winning the Irish National Final - Eurosong 2009...How does it feel?
Oh my God! I can't believe it I'm so hyper right now! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm in total shock!!!
Are you looking forward to Moscow?
I'm so sorry am still hyper right now, Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! Yes! I'm gonna rock Russia in May, bring it on!!!
Tell the readers of esctoday.com what "Et Cetera" is all about?
It's about a girl bitchin' about an ex-boyfriend and she is annoyed now. Et Cetera as in she's heard it all before.
Will there be a possible remix of the song?
I'm not sure right now but there maybe one, depends on the writers of the song.
Sinéad, did you get any inspiration from previous Irish winners?
Linda Martin, but my song is so different. This is a song with a "new edge" for Ireland. It's a contemporary piece of music similar to international artists such as Pink and Katie Perry. I love it!
Will you be touring Europe to promote the song?
We will do everything we can, but am just after winning the song I'm not sure what happens now but we'll see!
Do you think there were high expectations of Ireland this year after last year's representative 'Dustin the Turkey'?
I'm not sure, the public voted Dustin in. We were voted in too. But our song is so rockin' we'll get people to like it!
Do you think the Eurovision Song Contest is an acceptable way to represent and to express music you love?
Yes definitely! Its a show watched by millions of people. A great way to show a person and a song.
What can the Eurovision Song Contest give to a young and inexperienced singer?
Don't worry I've being getting alot of experience. So far I've being doing pantomine since I was 13, I've sang in front of hundreds of people for two shows a day for two months non stop. Also I was on You're A Star (Irish National Selection in 2005) and got down to the last eight, where I sang to thousands of people on Irish television.
Which artists in this year's Eurosong 2009 did you take for your biggest rivals?
Song 02: 'Out of Control' by Laura-Jayne Hunter, it was amazing and so different. But all the songs this year were so different, a good selection this year I thought.
Before we let you get back to your celebrations...what message have you got for the esctoday.com readers?
Hi everyone! Look out for Ireland this year. We're gonna have so much fun and we're gonna rock! See you all soon.
