Glen and Marketa on Tubridy

Jenna

Not sure where to post this....but just had to come online and rave about Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova's performance on Tubridy tonight. Did anyone see it? It was so, well, Irish. There's "our Glen" on d'telly after coming home from d'Oscars and ah would ya look at his ma beamin' at him from d'audience. I felt like they were sitting on the couch in the sitting room next to me and just picked up the guitar and started playing. I have to say it really was one of the best performances I have seen on Irish television because it was so natural and genuine. There was no nonsense, they were just themselves, they just played. It was a performance that reminded me that, while it's exciting going to the Oscars and meeting the stars and doing the interviews, in the end of day it's about the music, and the enjoyment and fulfillment that comes from simply picking up the guitar and singing a tune. Well done Glen and Marketa.

I really don't know how anyone can take this one away from them. Fair dues. Its a good song and the film isnt bad A bit kitsch but sure we all need a bit of feel good.

The Czech press have been unbelievably bitchy about the whole thing btw.

Awful song, and that cnut couldn't sing in tune if he was paid.

Has anyone got a link to Marketa Irglova's (re-arranged) speech?

Jenna

It's understandable if you don't like the song because it might not be your type of music, but you can't say that he can't sing...because if he couldn't sing then clearly he wouldn't have achieved the level of success that he has today. I respect your opinion, but your vulgarity is unnecessary.

Btw can someone tell me how to do the quote thing?

if that was at me then yes.

I could bore you tears with the up-their-ownarseholeness about the czech media but to summarize they thought that the movie was awful and to top it all they also thought that it was 'mouthy' glen that meant Irglova didnt get to say her thanks properly rather than the Oscar/Advertising moneymen.

Ah the band on Tubridy just did a jazz version of the song! Brilliant!

My mum noticed this to. Suppose it shows that they are the same people they always were.

Glen talks way too much though.

People from a country formely run by a superpower bitching about one of their own?
That would never happen.

She has just passed her 20th birthday, the derty fecker.

hmm, rather rare, Irish man with an E European bird.


I assume he posts on boards from that very fact. If you do, Glen Ive honestly never heard one song by The Frames. In fact the only time I heard of him was in that old magazine The Slate, which had featured him on that page which had a photograph of whatever Irish celebrity had irked the editor that week (it invited you to cut out the photo, put it in your toilet and sh1t on it)

I miss that magazine.

She has nice diddies mind....

I am 1 too but she's older than me, that makes 2 of us.

I wish them well but has anyone noticed on the recorded version of the song, which has been knocking about quite a while now, you can hardly hear Marketa singing - I always presumed it was just Glen until all this Oscar kerfuffle started up!

lostexpectation

yeah you do hardly hear her I guess that her style, the do have whole album together don't they the something sessions

Niamh-17

They were so nice and they really are genuine people. Their perfomance of the song was lovely also. Its amazing the sound they created with just an old guitar and the two of them just sitting on a couch.

I felt the show went slightly downhill after them, because they were such great guests and no of the others could compare.

Hang on, they're an actual couple?

Presume so, although he's been dodging those question, saying 'our friendship has grown.'

Then again he did say in an interview that he hopes to marry her someday!

Yeah they are a couple they got together while making the movie.

Is Turbidy repeated?

Nightwish

I dont like the song at all. I always hated Glen Hansards voice and music anyway so I didnt give a sh1t when he won the oscar. Bit overrated as a song though.

wrong. Irish people love rubbish Irish bands/acts - Paddy Casey, Bell X1 etc, and give absolutely no time to the few good ones we actually produce, like My Bloody Valentine.

Red Alert

I thought the frames were OK but I just can no longer stand Glen Hansard. His solo music is boring and self-centered and he just isn't a nice guy.

I don't like Glen Hansard but I'm glad an Irish person won an Oscar.

Why is he? Is he an expert? A lot of people might not agree with him, a lot might, doesn't make him right. Each to their own. I hate music snobs (and once again I don't like Glen Hansard!)

She is indeed. Not many can pull of the no make-up, messy hair, red socks, wooly waistcoat thing. She looked great at the Oscars.

Don't forget 'tanks'.

You never really notice the lack of 'th's until one of your own wins something!

Even Marketa had problems with the 'th's!

FlutterinBantam

heh heh.. The Doob has a lot more problems than "TH" the auld "T" seems to be an issue too.

"Did ya dew de "Lohho" "Lotho" "Lorroh" last noih Antho?

Anyway back on topic..... another one to add to the Jim Sheridan/Bill Cullen/neil Jordan list of successfull Doobs with skanker accents.

Well done all.

Tar.Aldarion

Glad they won. Must watch that thing on RTE tonight, don't really like the frames at all but I loved the film and the sound track.

That does sound wrong doesn't it? :eek:

I didn't think falling slowly was the best song from the movie/soundtrack. There were better songs on it.

Fair play to them though because the movie and soundtrack are both brilliant!

Dave!

yum..... lol

Ahh no she usually looks decent

cjmcork

i don't know about everyone else, but I was very proud to see them carry Oscar away and I thought that Marketa's speech was lovely - and of course, the song is beautiful

Care to elaborate? :eek:

As said, due to my avoidance of studenty **** bands Ive only ever heard of the guy maybe twice before (I gathered alot of people dislike him for some reason)
