    See below ..I think "The Nev" gave another correct call !

    Posted 3 days ago !

    Nah! McInerney much too lightweight...no gravitas ...just a shrill voice trying too hard .

    Not good enough in this posters opinion...

    Sorry to ruin our great new consensus there Nevin...but 'shrill' she is not. That's just a good auld sexist putting down of a woman. Sean O'Rourke was multiple times more shrill than her.
    And she has too much gravitas...she needs to less serious. But I would imagine that will come as she relaxes a bit.

    Have to agree (kind of) there Prionsias,she’s not shrill.... just monotone.

    Sean O Rourke was not shrill.

    She has not got too much gravitas, not at all, she is a bit tense ,will loosen up in time.

    ‘The Nev’ as he calls himself has good points but I felt today Sarah was very monotone, but as I always do,Francie ,I give people a bit time to bed in.

    Gravitas:
    dignity, seriousness, or solemnity of manner.

    Which is precisely how she comes across. Intensely so imo.

    No she doesn’t , just dull and monotonous.

    You are mixing up Martin Luther King and Richard Nixon.

    I am just in love with her voice. If Mary Wilson announced that Putin had just set-off WW.III. I would yawn and change channel, whereas if Sarah announced it I wouldn't even bother looking for the iodine tablets, I'd just sit back and enjoy the last few minutes of the voice. :D

    Does this thread retire with SOR? Or does it continue for the summer as the show will still be today?

    MOD - I think I will wrap this thread up and open another in honour of the intermediate host.
