May be in the minority here but I found Sid's commentary non-sensical and irritating,That said though i know a lot of people loved it and cancer is a terrible illness so may he rest in peace

Ok Galway made the All Ireland final today but one man overshadowed it.
The question is does he support Galway or Cork?

Take that Cork fans. What that is you ask? Well a defeat ye all knew was coming against a team we all pray to christ doesn't embarrass against KK/Tipp.

Sad to see the Olympic games come to a close. Really enjoyed it. Probably my favourite one.

The closing ceremony was great, in particular when Baba O'Riley kicked in and The Who arrived.

- So Olympic closing ceremony: we are going to have a celebration of the best of British music!

- Great so were gonna have The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, The sex pistols, Def Leppard, Rod Stewart, Iron Maiden, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Tom Jones, and Elton John, yeah?

- No! But we will have One Direction....eh....Russell Brand and ....um.... Jessie J is going to get her arse out!!

- Brilliant!!

Monty Python's Eric Idle and The Who were the best part of a really sh*te closing imo

Jessie J performed with Queen (she ruined We Will Rock You ) and I think Freddie was shown on a large screen at one part

I thought Jessie j made we will rock you her own. Not being a massive fan of queen i can accept it was her style of the track. People saying she should kill herself because she butchered the song are dingbats.
What do they want, the olympic council to exhume Mercury?

Having Freddie perform it on the large screen was fine by me as they did with John Lennon's Imagine

Jessie J was on three times, first on her own, then with Taio Cruz and Tinie Tempah and then with Queen so she must be the most important British musician of all time :rolleyes:

Well what other singer would you have put up there instead? Or even limit it to a female? Madonna? Aw hell no!

Madonna despite been old has made better music than Jessie ****ing J, seriously. Florence would have been better but she was probably to "edgy" for the organisers.:pac:

Even Susan Boyle would have been better than her Adele or Florence Welch also would be good choices

The theme was suppose to be the best of British music yet some very dodgy choice artists performing imo

Emeli Sande was another who performed three times

Angron

Jessie J did a crap version of "We Will Rock You". That weird echo effect didn't exactly help it either.

Also, no mention of bands like Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath or Motorhead annoyed me.

Lord TSC

Boo to all the people giving out about my Jessie J. How dare you talk bad of her :P

Charisteas

One good thing about the end of the Olympics is the awesome episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air that was on earlier.

Long story short, she preformed at the Trinity Grad ball, people got mad drunk and she got annoyed about it. She doesn't drink at all (due to a medical condition iirc) and was upset by how people were just getting sloshed...

From RTE...

Following her performance on Friday night, the singer, whose real name is Jessica Ellen Cornish, took to Twitter to speak about the drunken crowd.

She wrote: "Just came off stage at trinity ball. Probably one of the hardest gigs to date.

"To see so many people so drunk they couldn't even stand. Girls unconscious and (students were) literally trampling on each other. It wasn't easy."

The singer, who has risen to fame over the past year, later posted: "I'm not upset they weren't all listening. It upset me to see so many young people so not with it. I'm not used to it.

"It's hard to sing when I just wanted to go into the crowd and help all the crying girls who were being squashed."

The comments caused a stir online among students who attended the inaugural party, with one commentator remarking: "Are you being serious? Just be thankful you were performing on stage to your fans."

The singer later posted: "Can I just clear up that last night was a university ball and it was students.

"I was just shocked at how intoxicated they were and I was genuinely worried for them. I'm not used to it. That's all.

"And it's not just in Ireland, its everywhere. As a non drinker, I just want to spread the message that binge drinking is dangerous. I just care."

The Blizzards frontman Niall Breslin, who wasn't at the ball, then commented on Jessie J's statement, dryly remarking: "Welcome to Ireland."
