I watch this every week and I have to agree with some of ye.
The "ghetto grannies" tonight weren't that funny. They put in a lot of effort but they just are not funny. Same with Shane Lynch's "two nerdy chicks" comedy act a couple of weeks back.

Blathnaid is a complete bitch and her and John Creedon are as tactical as it gets. You can see her bullying tactics underneath all the time, the way she gets the East's crowd to roar when anyone questions her judging. She seems to try and sell her acts based on their "just an ordinary Joe" qualities as well. "One is an electrician, one is a plumber, perfect!"- No, Blathnaid, not if they don't have talent.
Shane Lynch is a great judge, knows what he's talking about and is honest and doesn't get into politics.
Dana isn't bad, you can tell she really believes in her acts.
While I don't believe he has the experience in the music industry to qualify him as a judge, Daithi is very kind and honest at the same time.

Tommy Fleming sings like a sheep.

Yeah both acts are based on a supposedly funny pretext. But both groups had poor material. Tonight's comedy act was particularly poor. Wasnt really comedy at all, didnt really know what they wanted to be.

Tommy Fleming looks a ginger/slightly chubbier clone of Alan Hughes

I'm delighted Sean Taaffe the dancer got the wildcard place. He seemed to really really want it, he has the talent and it can not be easy growing up as a male dancer in Clondalkin, an area that's a little on the tough side.

blaithnaid is proof that regardless of a complete absence of brains or talent , one can make it to the top with sheer chutzpah

They always pick annoying little kids. That kid did not have a note in his head, they always go for the cute factor, especially Dana.
I really didn't like the voice of the girl who sang I Dreamed A Dream, it was too high pitched for my ears! That song is also too associated with Susan Boyle so people would compare the two- and Susan sings it much better. That girl should have picked a different song.

My god how did Dana put that young lad Céalan through. Absolutely ridiculous. The lad cannot sing, and looks and sounds nothing like Freddie Mercury.

That other 16 year old lad is amazing, say he has a good chance of picking up the female vote and winning the whole thing.

EDIT: Cant believe he wasnt voted through, stupid stupid voting system.

in fairness, how many people are in that gymnastics club? I'm sure they got everyone they knew to vote for them. It's not like one of those contests in britain where the huge population can determine the vote. I

Actually Linda got the most viewer votes i think

Actually Linda got the most viewer votes i think

Teutorix has a point here - Linda certainly must have got more votes than David as they do a similar exercise to convert telephone calls to a number. so he must have been thirdin order of number of votes as otherwise he would have either tied or beaten the winning act.
It will be interesting to see how all the wild cards fare tonight when it is just a viewer vote. Think the acts will have a minute each - the poor marching band will only have marched on when it is time to march back off again

Me too. I'm very torn between Sean Taafe and David Lofts.
I wasn't mad about David's movements while he was singing tonight, he kept clenching his fists and kind of shaking his hands. He probably just isn't used to having his hands free since he usually plays guitar. He has such a beautiful voice.

galwaynative

David lofts

correct!

tomissex

I think Chris Geoghegan is fantastic! I really hope he gets through. Him and Sean Taafe are my two anyway.

Sean taaffe and david lofts for me

Yep!!! Sean wants it soooo much. You can see it in his eyes.

Teutorix

Seán and David for sure.

Birdsong

Gave my vote to Sean Taffee, think he really deserves it, would like Chirs too.

Blainaidh is sooooooooooooooooo annoying - would put me off voting for her acts

soccymonster

Sean taaffe didnt get through
