Nice to find Blaithnaid has recovered from her squiffy gut

Not sure whether or not this is relevant for this thread but it appears that RTE are ringing in this New Year on the results show instead of doing their usual pre-recorded show.

Could this be something to do with cost cutting?

Don't know but it'sa heap of crap that I certainly won't be watching. I'll support the British BBC or ITV instead.

Last year was bad but who wants to look at a crowd of eejits who think they can sing bringing in the new year.

I think the All Ireland Talent Show might be the worst thing I've ever seen. It looks like a spoof, but it's actually real. Depressing beyond belief.

Agreed. Who's this big fat country chap rapping with the little kid? Apparently they won this thing last year.. Cringe TV. :eek:

Grainne is a bit of a tool when it comes to pauses. She is too bloody boring, pain in the arse.

Even my parents were wondering what the hell was going on.

Thank god they at least had the sense to show a Dumb and Dumber repeat on the 2 :pac:

Dumb and Dumber was on TG4 last year.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Right, I'll be honest, I've had over a dozen bottles of Miller and half a bottle of Captain Morgan and Coke, but I actually thought, that was somewhat entertaining.... craziness I know, but that's how I feel... Good sh*t... Good way to bring in the new year...

pphheerroonn

The fireworks at the end of every sentence at the start of the show was priceless. I lol'ed!

scrubber72

Well to be honest I reckon it was the best €50 RTE ever spent;)
If they want me to look after the fireworks next time i think i have
a couple of bangers in the attic...

was it me or did grainne looked thinner than usual , this for me is not a good thing , grainne isnt grainne without her trademark curvy form

Jesus, RTE prove that they cannot get their collective heads out of their backsides with this drivel, it's a wonder there is any room for anyone to put a head up a backside in there with all the tongues so busy in that area.

The judges, oh dear the judges. In typical fashion during a recession they line the pockete of the those already on their pay roll instead of making jobs for people with ability. As for that eejit who does the travel show, I know she's not involved but she now gets another big chegue for screaming at contestants on Winning Streak, Joe Duffy gets an extra few bob with his Sunday TV Show, Christ is there nobody in there who can spot talent or do they think we like these people so much we can't live without them.

Come on RTE create some new jobs and discover new presenters and stop wasting good money on The All Ireland (lack of ) Talent Show


Still look on the bright side it will be over before the tourists get here for the summer so we won't look too thick in the eyes of the world !

Black Magic

I don't like how they give points to the "cute" girl who can't sing.

Yeh. I know. 10 or 15 seconds is cool to build a bit of tension but one of her pauses must have gone on at least a minute. I know Grainne's always pretty tightly corseted so I thought maybe she'd had a seizure or something. Just spit it out, love, and stop us fretting.

Black Magic

This show is a joke. Dana saying that the girl is going to be something big in the future.

What? She is way off tune yet the judges feel they must be nice to her because she is too young to take criticism and might start crying.

Then you have another girl with her sob story. Her mother has cancer and she would be so happy to give some of the 50000 euro prize to the hospice for helping her mammy.

The fact that they let through these people that can't sing says a lot about the whole setup. I hope the public have an ounce of sense and vote the toddler out.

Black Magic

If they pick that child as a wild card I'll... ARGGH

Black Magic

Feck it anyway!

SprostonGreen

Horsesh'it complete and utter horsesh'it

It's a national disgrace. Woeful television. Absolutely nothing right or good about the programme.

is that yer one who hadnt the pipes for the song from west side story

I've only seen it once or twice including tonight and if I went to a friends house and their 6 year old insisted on singing for me before they went to bed, I'd probably humour them somewhat but Jesus do I have to pay
€ 160 a year to watch complete strangers kids sing before they go to bed and sing badly at that. We've all seen it before, child sings at a party and every says "that was brilliant Orla" (even though it was ****) but on national television ?

jd007

Watched it tonight more cos I had to than anything else. All I can say is that it's a hape of poo!

RonMexico

I refuse to watch this tripe. I'd rather get the trotts in Kenya than sit through an episode of this.

noinc

Wow, the trots in Kenya eh, is that a good place to get the trots or is it a very bad place to get them? Anyway if you took the trouble to watch this show you would see a load of people with verbal trots in a studio somewhere in Bray mind you you would miss out on a safari or maybe you might not be well enough to go on safari. Sitting in a mud hut on a po watching hers of wildebeast fleet majestically past the window or The All Ireland (has no)Talent Show, emmmm. Okay you win, give me the trots anyday !

You'd think that getting the trots in Kenya would be like oh my god but it's brilliant actually.

I thought that the pianist who was on last week was excellent, in that she was techically competent, zany, feisty and very entertaining. Was disappointed that she did not get the support she deserved. I think that the judges, with the exception of Dana (she seems to have some sort of an ear) are literally tone deaf, and could not differentiate between someone banging on a tin-can, and a Beethoven symphony. The show is absolutely rubbish! It is cheap, degrading, and does not accurately represent the abundance of Irish talent so evident in many of our local musicals/pantos/concert halls.

df1985

im being forced to watch this ****e now.what was that first act!!? some lad whacking random instruments to a backing track.cringeworthy tv.

IRISHSPORTSGUY

Tara Burke McDonald is the best in this sorry group by a country mile. A travesty if she doesn't get through in all honesty.
