Glinsk Song Contest 2003
The winning entry, "Honoured", was composed and sung by Emma Staunton. Her song received 66 points, gaining the lead after the sixth adjudicator's scores had been added to the scoreboard. Second place went to "Feeling Loved", composed and sung by Fiona Coleman, seven points behind on 59 points. Third place went to "Everytime I Close My Eyes", written by Brian Aherne and Michael Hussey and sung by Michael Hussey, which received 56 points. Second placed "Feeling Loved" took an early
lead with a maximum 10 points from the first, third and
fourth adjudicators, but received only 4 points from the
fifth adjudicator. "Honoured" scored well early
on to claim a stake in what turned out to be a two "song"
race, but eventually won out with two maximum 10 points
to add to 9 points and 8 points from the last four
adjudicators to become the eventual winner. Tim Ambler, a previous winner in Glinsk entertained the audience while the eight adjudicators came to their decision on the finalists. The 2003 contest, the biggest song contest in Ireland this year, attracted more than 150 entries from all over Ireland and England. ·2007 results |
