    A lot of talent on show there, from the editor and post-production team.
    Not much talent on the stage mind you.

    Fraud plain and simple.

    Another example of the licence fee being put to good use then.

    One is recorded from the crowd, the other is recorded from what is going through the sound desk.

    Of course they are going to sound different.

    The first Amanda Brunker thread was closed and people banned because of the hurling of vile personal insults at her.


    Be warned.

    It should be released as a single, just to see if it lives up to the hype:o. The other track would be a duet with Bono performing a remake of this:

    Yep, 'remastered' lol. It's just a proper recording versus one recorded off a crappy camera mic.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,718 ✭✭✭✭JonathanAnon


    I cant tell much difference in the "quality" of her singing.. The overall quality of the sound is better obviously, but he voice is still weak.. Sounds like the band are playing Everything But The Girl's Missing..

    I don't see an output on that guitar though- and there is no way that the vocal hasn't been tampered with. Sounds like serious mixing was done on it. I just don't understand why they are putting so much work into her when it's pretty obvious that the general public dislike her- wouldn't they be better off putting her out to pasture or is celebrity status like civil/ public service? Impossible to fire, retire with full pension after x years of service regardless of quality of work and possibility to continue working after service is up?

    BTW, not based on Irish civil/ public service necessarily, don't want to insult anyone!

    There's a plug going in to the guitar and most probably connected to a wireless system around the back/side of the guitar... Out bassist has a similar wireless system, and usually at the start of every gig he discovers that his son has robbed the battery for his remote control tractor.. then the panic sets in ... :)

    Maybe Amy heard Amanda's singing and just gave up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭ItsAWindUp


    I suppose there's no chance of them having filmed a proper band is there? No, because that would make too much sense wouldn't it.

    Yes, they brought a film crew down to oxygen and ONLY filmed Amanda Brunker. :rolleyes:

    I can't believe that people think that it is remastered and touched because it sounds different from from the recording somebody made on their phone in the crowd. Truly bizarre.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,940 ✭✭✭maxwell smart


    Maybe she could record singing versions of her books and do a tour of Easons with the band in tow?

    Why then were the original videos of her "singing" taken down and these ones launched instead?

    Only a complete numpty would think the two vids bear any relation to each other as regards content.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭reprazant


    What original videos were taken down? :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,867 ✭✭✭UglyBolloxFace


    No offence to Ms Brunker or her fans (both of them), but why is this fame-hungry ****ing eejit singing, let alone singing at a venue as big as Oxegen?

    Not a bad song though, I'm liking the instrumental in it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,514 ✭✭✭PseudoFamous


    That's what our TV licenses were spent on? I want a refund.

    Money. Fame.

    In that order.

    Guess what i was told by someone from rte the other day.RTE is getting none of the tv licence money and all going into government pockets.:eek:

    Yeah... that's how the tax system works in Ireland. No, RTE don't directly get the licence money. It all goes into the central accounts. Guess where RTE's funding comes from?

    She has great juggs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 214 ✭✭musicmonky


    why are their NO shots of the massive crowds. ?

    Seems very orchestrated piece of video.

    Amanda must be very very very well connected.

    Bertie Ahern would be proud.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,365 ✭✭✭spoonbadger


    Ah no, to the people saying "You cant compare a mixing desk recording to a phone recording in the crowd", that just doesn't fly. The camera recording is what people heard in the audience!! It may well be better at the sound-desk, but if it comes out sounding like that for the audience it doesn't say much for the sound engineers.

    At any rate, that's beside the point. Whatever doubts may be had about recording or equipment quality, you can fecking well hear her when she speaks to the crowd. The sound is coming through pretty clear when she wants it to, and that's far too obvious to be passed off as opinion or a technical blip.

    RTE have avoided showing the minuscule crowd, re-EQed this to hell, and i wouldn't be surprised if there was some post-recording tweaking of the vocals too. This isn't a case of unfortunate recording, its manufacturing and editing.

    Whatever your views on her musical talents, this has been very very obviously re-worked, beyond the level to which any live recording should need to be. Shame on RTE, really.

    She just looks out of place on stage. Most likely due to being a talentless pawn.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    I know RTE is bad but jeasus, why are they spending Irish public given money to re-edit what happened that day?

    Somebody in RTE is trying desperately to look after Amanda Brunker for some reason!
    Talk about lying to the public - and using our own money given to them, to do it as further insult!

    Its laughable. At every other concert you would see shots of the audience at some stage.
    However with this twisted version that RTE has put out, little joy - why?
    Because there was absolutely feck all there to hear just how bad she REALLY was - which is a shame because she is not just bad, she's truly terrible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 214 ✭✭musicmonky


    time to make the call to Joe Duffy..............

    First the banks now this...!!!!!!! :p


    I wonder is Amanda dating anyone nice in RTE?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,834 ✭✭✭Sonnenblumen


    Should have re-packaged it as the Artist formerly known as 'Another Bunker'.

    Does look suspicious why RTE got involved.
