Meteor Awards - Feb 21st 2010

JonathanAnon

presented by the only Amanda in the world who is more annoying than Amanda Brunker...... Will ya stop shouting you silly mare, the microphone is on.....

amdublin

Sh1t! I thought this wasn't on until 9.30.

Who's this crazy wun?!

amdublin

Ah jaysis to be shur to be shur!

I hate the phony oirish accent Amanda Byram puts on.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I tuned in for a minute to watch Florence and the Machine... and was gonna watch a few minutes of the awards, but then Patrick Kielty came on stage and I turned off the TV...

amdublin

The BAFTAS on BBC.

Would prefer to watch the BAFTAs but going to bed now so only got bog channels upstairs.

Guess it's the screaming kids on the Meteors so.

And thats just the yoke presenting it. My god Victoria Smurfit gave her a masterclass last night. And presenting is what Byram does the whole time.... !! She's lucky she's pretty, cos there aint a whole lot else going on..

Reginald P. DuM

Didn't Byram have a mole on her face one time? I can't seem to see it, just switched this on. Did the Americans make her get rid of it or what?

amdublin

Who's this blonde one?

JonathanAnon

Pixie Lott, apparently..

No she said she got rid of it herself but apparently it will grow back (eeugh) and she will have to get it done again.

Just wait for the script.

fantastic..

JESUS CHRIST that fake lesbian act was just stupid.

amdublin

What is with Byram's accent?????

Really bad... And it had the potential to be something special too!!
Seriously though, WTF? Who was the Virginia one? Never heard of her. Mutton dressed up as lamb. The other girl is quite sexy in fairness to her.

yeah awful, all of the scripted stuff has been awful. I would have rathered see Leigh Arnold kissing Chloe Arnold anyway. :-)

Patrick Bergin was on the lock anyway. Hope Jim Corr comes on and says something crazy (as usual).

gsxr1

have to laugh how all these rich folk love to give each other a pat on the back.

Yup they were deadly. Although I think they're only going to show the first song they did because that's all they were meant to do. Hopefully they'll add in the other three!

They played Live.

Top class artists

Have the Script been on the TV already?

No, they're at the end.

JonathanAnon

I think Niall Melon is the only Irish lad that built a stack of houses and didnt lose his b****x..

They played Live. the only ones that did.

You sure about that, the other two girls looked like they were singing live. Only song I like by The Script is The Man Who Cant Be Moved. But I had to learn it off for a wedding and I'm sick to death of it as well at this stage..

amdublin

Yeah no-one's listening to you Grainne.

APM

ah the scots....they're really just paddys who can't swim

Junco Partner

i love how all byrams jokes are getting nowhere shes dying on her arse somebody put her out of here misery

gsxr1

How could he not mention Guns N Roses in slane. "The" biggest things that happened there............. apart from U2

JonathanAnon

Hard to believe that they give him award this year after the shambles taht was Slane this year.. Joe Duffy got a week about it.

A Disgrace

The whole show is dreadful. Our embrace of pre-packaged, boil in the bag pop like the Script and Westlife has seriously damaged us a nation of creative and clever musicians. Adam Clayton barely got a murmur when he arrived, Liam Clancy was greeted with a lot of tan scratching and Bell X1 have just been greeted with all the enthusiasm of a priests willy in a schoolboys lunchbox..

Flights out of the country have never been cheaper folks, get out while you can!!

A Disgrace

I think Temper Traps preformance says it all. The announcement of the band barely raised a whisper, but as soon as the opening notes played out and every said 'OMG, it's the song from the o2 ad' they went mental, but quickly lost interest and went back to taking self-shots of themsleves for their bebo..

Yes, Patrick Bergin was langers.. But I would be too if I had to endure that rubbish...

amdublin

I've lost the will to type.

JonathanAnon

Brian Kennedy is a very good singer, but his songs are rubbish. he could have been big if they'd got the right songs to him..

It is amazing to notice the cheers are for only the good looking music stars...

Reginald P. DuM

It is woeful alright... I'm half considering turning over to Ros na Run!!

pure sh1t. from you im afraid. West life produce covers of other songs.Which is bad
the script is a proper band who write there own music. Listen to it. Just because its popular does not mean its bad.

No, but it is bad.. There are a thousand plus bands in Ireland right now who write their own stuff, are they good too because of that?

And why doesn't the drummer appear in promo/appearance shots? Oh yeah, he's a little two rotund for the image...

Woeful.

Poor sign alright. Though I thought one of their own songs "Amazing" was in fact, amazing, and it turned out to be the lowest selling single they have ever released.. so what do I know.. :-(

sorry not that they wrote it themselves, but it wasnt a cover is what I mean.

I guess ya just dont like them.
I do know there are loads of bands who do a great job. I work in the music industry. But I really do think the script are ones to watch . So do many. they are really very talented. And have made it so far. I dont think they are by any means a disgrace to us. It sounds like i am a die hard fan. I not. I just seen these guy rehearse lots of times. from Croke park to Oxegen.
the coronas are a decent act as well.

Busi_Girl08

Oh yeah he gave up talking for Lent.

Funny :rolleyes:

Did I miss the National DJ award?

You think the jokes are bad now, you should hear the ones edited out!

The worst I remember was in her intro

"a lot has happened in the last year..." "...ireland became a NAMA nation, what does that even stand for anyway? NOT A METEOR AWARDS thats what!"

You could feel the collective cringe...

Used to listen to Ray Foley. Don't bother anymore. Turned out to be a bit of a prick. Those precious meteor awards went to his head. King of radio my hole

Ok, I appreciate that, and it's cool.. I'm not a fan, but enjoy them if you are...

We won't get started on the Coronas though, please!!

i guess i should not have used the strong words directed toward yourself. Sorry bout that.

all im saying is that they deserved what they got. I hope more good Irish acts can be found
and do the same next year. They are out there. We have soooo much good music . past and present from our tiny country. Bands like the undertones, snowpatrol, Lizzy
and the almighty U2 have conquered the world. from derry the dublin. getting played everyday on rock radio all over the world. All ya have to do is go out in dublin any night to find seriously great music.
I hope to see more on the main stage at the festivals .

I know most of the meteors is a bit of a publicity red carpet sham with mainstream music that may or may not be pure talent.
but the script where good. and from dublin.. MTV awards next maybe.

Elmo

I didn't read any of the sarcastic comments through out this thread. There was possible lots.

On a serious note I do think these kinds of awards are good to show some Irish talent, even if that talent is just in pop. While I amn't a fan of pop we should at least support our own pop acts rather than American or British ones, then they can go of to America and Britain and then we can begrudge them what they have. It is a cycle. *


*The last part of that maybe sarcastic
