    Yeah, just spotted that Mandz, this is the footage.

    You think he would be keeping his head down especially after the Tweeting episode... My favourite quotes: "We know he's not a very good singer". "He's know as Mr Delta Goodrem down here." To hear him saying that "I'm not going to listen to that while there are kids in the audience"... Hiding behind "the kids" again, if he cared anything about kids he would have taken the kids from his unstable ex wife. I say fair play to that woman... Yer man Kyle kicked if off with a joke about being a size 24... And if he cant take it then he shouldnt be giving it.


    Obnoxious,grandstanding prat..all this bullshiit about "kids in the audience"..ytrying to paint himself out to be a man of the people and a caring father.

    That was my point as well. "kids in the audience" sounds like something his PR guy thought up to justify his own childish behaviour.

    And he did the whole thing without a trace of humour or style..turning round to the audience behind him reminded me of a kid in school slagging somebody off then looking around to see who's laughing...very unprofessional.
    He's a long way from being ready for television,Simon Cowell he is not.

    He's an A1 tosser. He's so concerned about kids in the audience and he couldnt be bothered much with his own. Brian McFatten what a gobs**te. I hope he stays in Australia forever, Ireland couldn't deal with another talentless, egotistical a**hole, that loves talking about themselves.... we've already got Ronan Keating.

    I would go so far as to call him a Big Chinned Prat without a hint of begrudgery about it..the bloke is a tool.


    Which one is it? A big-chinned prat or a tool?

    Hold on a second, who said he's a huge success over in Australia? Seriously, is someone really trying to spoof me and tell me that Brian "I married Kerry coke Katona" McFadden is a massive star in Oz?

    I'm pretty sure that there would be a string of defamation actions against the tabloids if all of the tabloid spoutings were a pack of lies.:P

    Real celebrities can afford paintings like Dorian Gray, and lesser celebrities go for cosmetic surgery. The cheapskates go for comb-overs.:D

    He is actually, his new single went Platinum and was number one in their charts for three weeks. He's going for an electronic/autotuned kinda sound, although the new album is embarrassingly called "Wall of Soundz". He's definitely doing well for himself. Personally I think he's a sound enough bloke, or at least he comes across that way in interviews and his missus is stunning - classic Irish begrudgery?

    No, I am merely wondering if the stories of his "success" are really all that?

    BTW, his relationship with Delta is more a PR and business relationship for both.

    I would be highly surprised if it genuinely lasts.

    You do really have three or four talking points which you recycle in every thread.

    You proved my point re: the talking points when you went back to the milking thing in the other thread.

    It obviously irks you then. My suggestion would be to ignore walshb posts.
    Just a suggestion, mind you.

    I wonder why they asked Ronan instead of him to judge the Australian x-factor? I mean he lives there so wouldn't it have been handier and cheaper to ask him?
