Sarah McTernan is an Irish singer-songwriter from Scarriff, County Clare.

In November 2014, after getting through the blind auditions on The Voice of Ireland without ever doing any gigs, Sarah set up a band to gain experience with performing. The four piece band was made up of guitarist Dwayne Mann, drummer John Moroney, bassist Declan Larkin and Sarah on vocals.

McTernan entered The Voice of Ireland in 2015, singing “Who You Are”, for which all four judges turned their chairs. She then chose to go on S Club 7 star, Rachel Stevens’ team. Sarah’s audition video remains the highest viewed video of the series with 90,100 plus hits. In the first live show, Sarah sang “What I Did For Love” by David Guetta featuring Emeli Sande. Sarah came third.

In 2018, McTernan submitted the song “Eye of the Storm” to be part of an online vote to represent San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest. On 8th March 2019, McTernan was announced by RTÉ as the Irish representative for the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Tel Aviv, Israel. She will perform the song “22” in the second semi final.

OPINION:

This is a sweet mid-tempo pop number with reflective lyrics and Sarah’s emotionally charged vocals. It’s stylish, but it remains on one level and never really ‘takes off’ like you feel it wants to.

PREDICTION:

I don’t think it has the strength to make a big impact. Bottom ten placing but hopefully not last.

LYRICS:

“I see 22, oh, and I think of you
Lately that’s all I do
Don’t you know that I I’m always driving back
Wanna come home to you

Oh, I know I’ve always been afraid to say
How I feel, but that’s got to change

Every time I’m with somebody I’m confusing them with you
Anywhere I go reminds me of the things we used to do
And I dream about the street where we kissed out of the blue
It’s your house, number 22
Baby, where are you
Number 22

I see 22, oh, it’s like déjà vu
Boy, if you only knew
This time I messed it up, but I can’t give you up
Your face is all I got

Yeah, I know I’ve always been afraid to say
How I feel, but that’s got to change

Every time I’m with somebody I’m confusing them with you
Anywhere I go reminds me of the things we used to do
And I dream about the street where we kissed out of the blue
It’s your house, number 22
Number 22, yeah
Baby, where are you
Number 22

All alone tonight
Wishing you were laying by my side
So I just keep on driving back
To pass the time

Any time I’m with somebody versuri.online
And I dream about the street where we kissed out of the blue
It’s your house, number 22
(Every time I’m with somebody I’m confusing them with you)
Everybody, no, no, no
(Anywhere I go reminds me of the things we used to do)
I remember you
Number 22
Number 22″
