    The one from the west of Ireland? Thought it was the best programme I'd seen in a long time! Couldnt stop laughing.

    The teeth!
    The people! Anone got a hairbrush in the west of ireland? that paddy lad!
    Daithi's accent fullstop.

    The emotional stories without ANYTHING to back them up.

    Daithi: aH howya Laura isn't it. Here your brother died last year didnt he.
    Laura: He did yes.
    DAithi: Right off you go.

    The little lads dancing form the aran islands , 'yeah boys ye really represent the WESHT'.

    Good times!

    Yeah well people from the Midlands are inbred...

    Just thought I would throw that out there.

    There wasn't much talent on display in my opinion. The little girl with the red shoes was cute and the boys from the Aran Islands could be popular but really....what were RTE thinking?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,119 ✭✭✭Wagon


    I saw the intro. I turned it off and took one off the wrist instead.

    The guy with the fiddle was good and unique. Daithi did pick the 5 best, opinion may differ on whether they were good, which I think they were, but he did a good job I think of picking out the best 5.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,110 ✭✭✭Aodan83


    Saw parts of the Dublin one. It was embarrasing to watch. I know RTE aren't the best, but jesus that was bad. I'm not saying anything about Dublin in particular, just the show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 784 ✭✭✭marzic


    i avoid reality tv per say, except for the news and weather...barely! I have to say that daithi strikes me as a total gowl, absolutely no natural sense of humour but probably gets away with it cos he speaks irish most of the time, but relies on neck, like that other gowl hector! trust me they're probably the only 2 guys under 40 in the country that can speak irish so they have firsts on TG4...phew!;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭Cool_CM


    Pure muck, RTE clutching at straws because IT...Tv3 have rights to Xfactor and othe shite shows like Britain's got talent, which for some reason people still watch. Just like everything else that they have pissed money away on trying to copy the format of more famous shows and failing miserably except now as opposed to playing on national plride and masking it as the competition for our eurovision entry, they are playing on regional pride and facing them all off against each other in a feeble attempt to generate some interest in it. Terrible acts, terrible judges, terrible show.
    Another one to add to the long list of shite that RTE have churned out in recent years, celebrity farm, cabin fever, failte towers to name but a few.
    Should really start a petition to see it axed and replaced with repeats of "Reeling in the Years", one show that RTE managed to get right

    This is most talent I ever see, it is The Boy. He is fantastic.


    Be Champions.

    I heard Daithi's aiming for the "Irish Simon Cowell" tag... LOL


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Switched on RTE - saw that tripe - Turned off RTE.
    Nothing changed with RTE since last month I tuned into them for 30 seconds. Still crap!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,838 ✭✭✭midlandsmissus


    Now Shacklebolt, I'm not saying that it was a fair representation of the west, just a very bad bad programme!

    Inbred hmmm my parents are from different countries so maybe you could say i'm interbred ;-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25 sinaydk


    the guy who played the electric fiddle is my cousin!! am so proud and jealous of him! :P

    I think its good that the show has an element of competition between provences in it, that is a different aspect to a talent show.....

    it should be interesting to see who ireland really like!!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,193 ✭✭✭Turd Ferguson


    Yeah, its the new show "Ireland's Got Menatlly Disabled Talentless Hacks"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,431 ✭✭✭✭Saibh

    I'm a DUB and I thought the show was the most embarrassing and cringing piece of **** I have ever seen.

    Shane Lynch; what a tool. Did you hear him going on about the pole dancers?
    He thought as a Christian nation, we shouldn't allow it; what a clown!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,225 ✭✭✭Chardee MacDennis


    the program is a joke tbh but the kid with the violin from the wesht was awesome!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Yeah, its the new show "Ireland's Got Mentally Disabled Talentless Hacks"

    ...and thats just the judges....

    I think Shane Lynch had a pole up his hole, how did he not laugh at some of the eejits on there.

    violin guy on violin was probably the most random thing ive ever seen....
    cool though....
    yeah jacksys teeth were awful bad i thought?:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    Such Tripe, glad i missed it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 59 ✭✭Guitarist-JEM


    It's pure embarrassment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 668 ✭✭✭blow69


    Why is Shane Lynch judging a talent show? Wasn't he the guy who stood in the background while 2 out 5 of the singers in Boyzone did all the singing....:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16 ValidName


    I saw the hip-hop crew Raw Edge live and they are totally awesome. I was really frustrated, then, to see the ballsup they did of the camerawork on the live show. If you're filming a singer you have to switch to loads of camera angles to make it interesting but if you're filming a choreographed dance piece it's the dancers who provide the action. Instead of showing the country the dance routine whoever was twiddling the knobs on camera angles decided it'd be a good idea to have close shots of people's heads and bits of bodies moving around - even the back of the dancers at one stage! With 50 grand at stake you think the dance crew would have been given a decent chance of showing their stuff to the voting population instead of what some non-dancing camera decision guy decided would be good! If it's a talent show they should have people who can present all types of talent - not just singers!

    The Sh1tfactor would be a more appropriate title.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,776 ✭✭✭Noopti


    I watched it for the sheer comedic value. It is incredible really, and some of these kids are so bloody young I question whether it is really fair to throw into that kind of environment. The judges are also a joke!

    Shane Lynch: Ah reee, who's next
    Contestent:.......
    Shane Lynch: Jaaaaysus! Yer quiet, aren't ye?
    Contestents Dad: She is only 6 months old
    Shane Lynch: Alreee, fair nuff! Wha's yer talen den?
    *Contestent starts rattling the toys in the pram*
    Shane Lynch: Bleedin Brillo! Yer in me group for de foinal!
