    This song highlights how specialised Vanessa's voice is. She can not sing this for the life of her.

    I'd say she has hidden talents, you should text in and challenge her to a drinking contest :)

    Yeah but you wouldn't ask Pat to sing Nessun Dorma would you? It's a really unfair song choice imo.

    Hold on. That's not a difficult key for any woman to sing in. It's totally mid-range. If she was able to sing anything but opera, she'd be able to handle. But she's not. And that's no one's fault but her own, in fairness.

    So? If she wins, she'll obviously be recording opera music or songs adapted to that. She won't be singing Elvis with three guys!

    I have. And I know lots of Sopranos who'd have no problems singing that song/other songs like it.

    My point is you wouldn't ask Catherine Jenkins to sing an Elvis song with Shane Filan, Gary Barlow and Danny from the script and then say she was a bad singer just because she couldn't sing that particular song.

    Equally you wouldnt ask Richie, Jim and Pat to sing Time to say goodbye with Vanessa and then say she's the only one who can sing.

    If you're trying to drag me into a silly back and forth in which I have to defend the fact that many sopranos are able for songs like that, I'm not playing.

    I didn't say she was a bad singer; I said she couldn't sing that song for the life of her cos her voice was so specialised. I also said that no one else was to blame for her never having trained herself/sought training to sing anything but opera. My point remains valid.

    Exactly. Because that kind of song requires specialised training. Which is why they picked a more accessible song. It's very straight-forward.

    Sorry I'm joining the party late lads.

    Have to say I really enjoyed all the performances tonight. I thought they all picked the best songs that most suited their voices and I thought the coaches sounded really well singing with them. I especially loved Bressie and Pat and Richie and Brian (even though I can't stand Brian Kennedy).

    Pat to win!!!

    Ps your man Eoghan is also a DJ on XFM in the UK. Who knew?

    Pavarotti wasn't a soprano, he was a tenor.

    Here's Pavarotti and James Brown singing together. When it's done right a classical tenor and another type of singer can be brilliant.

    the Voice of ****eland is utter crap.

    The presenter looks like a horse. Kathryn Thomas

    The judges are utter geebags.

    The voiceover is tryin to mimic X Factor UK.

    The singers wouldnt get far on the UK version.

    It's utter crap
