Singer Samantha Mumba has lashed out online at the Eurosong final after she missed out on becoming Ireland’s Eurovision entry for the 2025 contest.

Samantha Mumba performed the song My Way on Friday night’s Late Late Eurosong Special but lost the chance to represent Ireland in Basel, Switzerland to 24-year-old Norwegian singer Emmy and her song LAIKA Party, which is inspired by the Soviet dog Laika, the first dog in space in 1957.
