Mickey Joe Harte (born 1973) or now simply known as Mickey Harte is a professional singer-songwriter from Lifford, County Donegal, Ireland. He was chosen to represent Ireland in the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest with “We’ve Got the World” (written by Martin Brannigan and Keith Molly). He won this through telephone votes by viewers of the Radio Telifís Éireann reality show, “You’re A Star”, which set records for Irish TV ratings over the period of November 2002 to March 2003.
“We’ve Got the World” topped the Irish billboard singles chart.
In 2006, he released his third studio album “Live and Learn”. In 2003, he recorded a cover version of Beyoncé Knowles’s Crazy In Love for Even Better than the Real Thing Vol. 1, and in 2004 a cover version of Eamon’s Fuck It (I Don’t Want You Back) (albeit without the Fuck It part). |
