Aslan star Billy McGuinness has slammed the RTE Eurosong – again.
The Dublin singer has revealed he’s not too happy about Swedish singer Erika Selin competing in the race for representing Ireland at the Eurovision.
Erika, 23, is singing a song written by a Swedish song-writer, and Billy is fuming.
“Surely a Swedish singer singing a Swedish song with Swedish backing singers should be competing to be Sweden’s Eurovision entry, not Ireland’s?

“I think given the talent in the Irish music industry among songwriters, singers, it’s outrageous that RTE has seen fit to go outside Ireland to find someone who can sing Ireland’s Eurovision entry this year,” he told the Irish Sun.
RTE have explained that the Swedish song was among those selected from 300 entries by an Irish panel of musicians and industry figures.
It comes after Billy had a blazing row with Eurosong judge Linda Martin live on air.
