Samantha Mumba wants to represent Ireland in the Eurovision
Noughties pop sensation Samantha Mumba has thrown her hat in the ring to represent Ireland in the Eurovision song contest 2018.
Ireland’s Eurovision song contest entry for this year failed to qualify for the finals.
Brendan Murray from Galway sang Dying to Try, which unfortunately didn't take us through to the finals for the fourth year running.

In spite of winning more times than any other country, Ireland hasn’t had a win since 1996, so sending Samantha to the host country might not be a bad idea.
The Irish Times writer Jenn Gannon suggested that Samantha might be the type to take home the Eurovision trophy, and the singer agreed in a retweet.
'I would LOVE to,' she exclaimed in response.
Come on people, lets make this happen, we need to see a rendition of Gotta Tell You on the European stage.
