Glinsk Song Contest 2001 CP Audio provided the Computerised Scoreboard software for the contest again in 2001. The event took place on Sunday, July 1st.
"A Lover or a Friend" written and sung by
Karen McDermott, took an early lead with the a 10 point
maximum score from the first adjudicator. Three points
from the second adjudicator and six points from the third
adjudicator left the entry with too much ground to make
up. The song, with 60 points finished 4th, while "Sometime,
Somewhere", written by John Farry and Bill Carney,
and sung by John Farry, which also received 60 points,
finished 5th, as 9 points was the highest adjudicator
score awarded to it . Charlie McGettigan, who sang Ireland's third successive Eurovision Song Contest winner "Rock 'n' Roll Kids" with Paul Harrington in 1996, entertained the audience while the nine adjudicators came to their decision on the finalists. The 2001 contest attracted entries, from all over Ireland and England. ·2007 results |
The winning entry, "Roundabout of Time",
was composed by J.J. Flannery and Tommy Moran, and sung
by Jaqueline Kenny and Sean Costello. The song received
67 points, gaining the lead after the fourth
adjudicator's scores had been added to the scoreboard.
Second place went to "Angel in Disguise",
written and sung by Fintan Ellard, receiving 61 points.
Third place went to "Don't Cry for 
Me" which also received 61
points, however, the placing was decided by the "highest
score from an adjudicator rule", where 9 points from
two adjudicators wasn't enough to overcome a full 10
points which "Angel in Disguise" received from
the second adjudicator. "Don't Cry for Me" was
written by Tim Ambler, the winner in Glinsk in 1998, and
Tony Miller. Tim also performed the song..
