Christopher "Chris" Doran, (born 22 November 1979) from Waterford, Ireland was the winner of Ireland's You're a Star 2003-2004 talent search competition to find Ireland's Eurovision Song Contest entry. The competition held auditions throughout Ireland, and the winners went through to the final stages, with one act eventually decided on. The show was aired on RTÉ. You're a StarChris Doran won the competition but there was controversy after Star Sunday revealed his song, "If My World Stopped Turning" written by Westlife's Brian McFadden, had been recorded by senior industry figures in the same studio used by Westlife and The Corrs. This was a contrast to the runner-up James Kilbane, whose track had been done "in house" by You're a Star's own arranger. This led to a marked difference in the sound of both tracks. Doran sang the song accompanied onstage by singing group Final 4, who had also participated in the Competition. Eurovision 2004Doran, along with Final 4, represented Ireland in the 49th Eurovision Song Contest, in Istanbul, Turkey in May 2004, finishing 22nd out of 24. The single however became a big hit in Ireland, where it topped the charts for two weeks.[1] Recent careerDoran went on to release a number of other singles, scoring five Irish hits in total.[1] He also released an album in 2004. He was on the judging panel for a reality talent show, entitled "Sony Centre Star Search", on Waterford's WLR FM in 2006. He has also completed some recording work in the United States, having worked with producer Joe Staxx.[3] Personal lifeChris Doran was born into a large family of the travelling community.
