    Here we go... Again!

    Can the show be as bad as last year?

    Is there any talent out there yet to be discovered?

    Will you be watching?

    I went to one of the blinds and then a battles show so am really really excited to see reactions to some of my favourites from the show and also to see if I can spot myself in the crowd! :D

    Hopefully as bad as last year or hopefully theres more talent to be discovered.

    Never that found of the show, the people in the seats are the talent (or so they think) not the singers.

    Trust me there are some crackers. One in particular stood out for me but there were a few very very talented singers in there.

    Same judges as last year;

    Cian - former member of a very successful boy band
    Brezzie - singer & mental health guru
    Rachel - former member of a very successful pop band
    Una - member of the most famous girl band nobody has ever heard of.

    I like the interactions between Cian & Brezzie, seems like they get on, but try to slate each other when they can.

    I only watch it because my girlfriend (who is foreign) watches and likes these sort of shows, so to provide balance in our life, I compromise and sit through these shows, casting a very judgemental eye on proceedings!!

    I actually enjoy more the Twitter & Boards discussions more than the actual show itself.

    surely anyone decent has already been on The Voice of Ireland,has decided it's a waste of time or has tried one of the U.K. Shows ? Will probably watch the auditions anyhow but haven't made it past that in a few years

    Yet again hosted by Katheryn Thomas & Eoghan 'haircut McDermott,

    Neither of which are suited to hosting any sort of entertainment show!!

    She can't sing!!

    It's just a gimmick song!! It's singers like this that make a mockery of the premise of the show!!

    Yeah, the gay song is fun, but she couldn't sing! So how did she even make it to that stage?

    It seems like RTÉ will put on anything and everything associated with being gay lately!! It's almost like they are trying to rid themselves of homophobic tendencies or something!

    I agree, but fun isn't going to win a singing competition that wants to be taken seriously.

    Totally agree but by getting to record with Bressie, she has probably done better than the winner will!

    Yer wan from the Saturdays was on the Daniel O Donnell show the other night with her uncle Declan Nerney, and they were useless.

    Bressie can't even launch his own career!

    :mad:
