The Ray D'Arcy Show - 13th. February 2016

Ten Pin

Monkey off the back

Frog in the throat.

Ah there was a monkey on his back, I knew there was something wrong.. I would have guessed a cat digging it's claws in to his head but a monkey on his back would certainly explain it.

Ok so I am no musical expert. And I have no ear for music

So I will take all your feedback on about his actual singing.

But I liked the song, and the performance, and Nicky.

Go Ireland!!!!!!

Negative criticism!

Hold on to your hats folks. I'm going to predict the future. Nicky isn't going to win the Eurovision this year. Night all.

Everything about it was awful

"never heard of it"

mudder of god..... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

The state of Ray's face there about your man giving a bit of constructive criticism. Nicky had the decency to take it on board.

Ryan Tubridy looks like Johnny Carson compared to Ray Darcy.

He's no good, but he has a small bit of interest in the interviewees and slight awareness of their emotions.

Another painful show for the love of God bring Brendan back!

Thargor

It sounds exactly like the songs you get on boyband albums where they have one or two famous songs and they need to squeeze out 10 more to fill the album, complete and utter fluff.

I think it went well.... i'll have to listen back to it.... lol wait till he hears how out of key he was

I thought he was slightly shaky (or nervous) at the start but was fine by the first chorus.

I agree. He's plastic.

Ha-Delighted actually yon chap gave him feedback. Bit stationary! Fair play to him. Didn't like to hear that did he.

There was nothing in that song that an up and comer couldnt do but sure what ever. He might do better cos of who he's been part of. And if he doesn't sure at least we'll know.

The Royal Scam

Jeysus how obvious is Ray looking at his cue cards. While talking to mcSavage he even pretnded to scratch his head so not to make it obvious he was reading it. Does Ross or Norton even use cue cards

Welsh Megaman

Crisis for Nicky...

He actually has to think about MOVEMENT on stage!

Patty O Furniture

I'd say Ray's pissed, as it's the first yr he hasn't travelled to it, you don't think he had anything to do with our chances in winning :rolleyes:;);)

Such a bad state of affairs when DLB starts looking good compared to someone else.

D'Arcy seems to like trying to humiliate people. Obviously the thing to do there was make it all flow right as any normal person would in any social situation like that.

He just doesnt have the experience as a singer. No matter how RTE try to sell it, he's NOT a hugely experienced singer. He's never been a front man, always just oohing and aaahing on the backing vocals. Shane Filan was a great singer, he never missed any notes. Missed a few notes on paying back the mortgage payments alright, but never on any of the Westlife choons.

no he sounded like he couldn't hear himself in his monitors at all, I know I was taking the mick but it was awful and it really did appear to me like he couldn't hear himself, that or he really is that bad :pac:

Poor Simon, I'd say he was talking himself down off the ledge that evening.

Ray's probably just said to Simon, " I'm good with keyboards, mind if I have a go!"?"..

What was the Robert Palmer thing?! I think you might have dreamt that!
