Anyone else watching Jools?

Aoife9

James Morrison on at the minute, I gave up on RTE too dull!

madanall

Yep.....switched over myself.......a much better show and decent music

NedLowry

Me too.;)

Aoife9

Cindi has a decent voice! I never knew! I thought she just wanted to have fun!

madanall

I think this show is recorded but timed perfectly to ring in the New Year. I could be wrong but it was last year.

tribalwings

Yip. Anything's better than Jedward

Cheers.....too much Bubbles...:D

God I love Ruby Turner...I swear her voice gets better every year.

Cyndi Lauper was great too... in fact the only ting I can foresee problems with is Jessie J and maybe she might come good.

Morrison can feck off AFAIC though.

Aoife9

G'Wan Imeldy!!!!

veryhappy1

only for jules

Wertz

Meh she sang the same last year... she has better songs tbh, bit mayhemed out at this stage.

Anyone see Aloe Blacc's set at glastonbury? Amazingly talented showman.

NIMAN

I thought that among Cyndi Lauper and Betty White, our Imelda came across as a bit dull and boring.

DeWitt

Has Imelda performed already? I'm just after flicking over.

Wertz

Yeah but she'll probably be back on for another tune later...at least she did last year.

[edit] Knew I knew the name...couldn't place who she was.
Feckin' hell...64.

Giggernaut

Loving Jules....Aloe Blacc was quality....love the dude dressed up as a clock!

NIMAN

Show definitely must be recorded as Imelda has a NYE concert tonight
http://www.theroyal.ie/december/31stimelda-may-nye.html

They must dish out some amount of drink to get that audience hyped up so much to pretend its really NYE.

Wertz

It was pre-record last year and two before that too. TBH getting all those big name people to turn up for NYE and the whole spectacle they put on, it's forgivable, like the polar bear cubs in the zoo.

They certainly get the atmosphere right... I think the music has as much to do with that as any the drink

Oh price tag...time for channel change.

Aoife9

Just can't warm to this doll, she comes across as very smug or something wish she would just sing the damn song properly!

NIMAN

Christ Jessie J and her one hit wonder, which is seriously grating considering we have heard it a million times in 2011.

Sooner she fades away the better.

aidan_walsh

madanall

James Morrison rocks....

projectgtr

Jesus your a bunch of moany farts i joke i joke I thought Jessie was great would have like to hear a different song though ,loved cindi lauper in fact i havent a bad word to say about anyone who came on, RTE take note this is how you do TV.

Giggernaut

Im preferring the more soulful performances of the night , instead of jesse,imelda etc. Good laugh watching the awkward guests trying to get their funk on on the dancefloor :rolleyes:

Aoife9

Lovin James!

Aoife9

Gregory Porter WTF are you wearing on your head? they must have the heat off in the studio!? Great voice though!

SarahBM

madanall

It's like a hat/balaclava thingy! haven't seen them in Pennys lately but sure bet it'll be full of them now in 2012 and we'll all be wearing them by Paddys day!:D:D

muletide

What a voice - nevermInd the hat - any chance the vaccines would fuk off?

fred funk }{

I watch Jools evey year, bloody brilliant. I watch it in HD and in surround sound, can't beat it.

NIMAN

This diva is quality, as was Gregory Porter. 2 acts I have never heard of before, but will be listening to after this.

You can say that again im bloody glad my neighbour is away for the week, the amp is cranked up full how it should be enjoyed

Leo Dowling

Jools playing guitar now. What a legend. I bet he has great craic doing these shows. Though I'd say he made the blooper roll with his fall at the very start.

SprostonGreen

Quality show, so much better than going out.

LordSutch

Halo Kitty

Went to see Jools and his band play last year and i have to say I was blown away, the past 4 years i just don't want to go out as i know this is one great entertainment show,....Before that i was glued to Alan Carr....forget about RTE....
