Love? was the Irish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 , performed in English by Donna & Joe . The song (the first Irish entry to be performed in a Eurovision semi-final) is an up-tempo duet with the brother-and-sister duo singing about the problems that love can cause. They explain, for example, that "Love can make you happy/Love can make you cry/Love can be the best/Until it's passed you by". The song was criticised by many fans for being a break from the traditional Irish ballad, as well as having a relatively repetitive structure. The song was performed in the semi-final as Ireland had not finished the 2004 Contest in the top ten. Here, it was performed twenty-second (following Bulgaria 's Kaffe with Lorraine and preceding Slovenia 's Omar Naber with Stop ). At the close of voting, it had received 53 points, placing 14th in a field of 25 and thus missing out on the final and requiring Ireland to qualify through the semi-final at their next Contest appearance. It was succeeded as Irish Representative at the 2006 Contest by Brian Kennedy with Every Song Is A Cry For Love . |
