2018 Rose of Tralee thread.

Itssoeasy

I'm surprised the usual people haven't started a thread already. (If they have delete/merge threads please mods)

Anyway the usual hilarity and cringeworthy carry on will probably happen. There are 32 entries and what do people think the number of nurses/teachers there will be this year ? I'll go with 14 in total.

I'm sure we will have waltzing Matilda played for the Australian roses and another stereotypical American song for the roses from America. I've no idea which roses got in or all that.

The token "relevant" Rose.

Carlow Rose 16/1. Could be worth a punt

Bunny Colvin

She has a great voice, fair play!

Michellenman

An unwed young mother with addicts for parents? Heavens above *faints*

She was lovely and her mother looked so proud! And massive kudos to doing really worth while charity work too.

Mondo123

Carlow rose was excellent

Itssoeasy

Well that has certainly taken a change.

Is a transition year student handling the mics this year ? They normally cut off and we don't hear the conversation between the host and the rose.

I’ve only looked up this thread to say how impressed I am with the Carlow rose.

Her story, her family, her outlook on life and what a lovely voice.

Many thinking the same, she is now into 5/1 2nd favourite.

She was excellent though and a great singer too.

The Carlow rose is getting a lot of support on twitter.

She did come across very well and if she did win it would also be a nice pr story for the competition and rose of tralee committee.

Mayo rose on next. I'll be honest normally this is a bit of a laugh but the Carlow rose has brought a reality to it that's never really been there.

Bunny Colvin

She isn't the Mayo rose but is from the back of beyonds in Mayo!

Apologies...that’s what I meant!

Bunny Colvin

Is that a D4 accent or an American one? Can't tell them apart.

Pain in the arse- bored to tears listening to her ****e on University and Law.

Contrast to the Carlow rose who overcame actually adversity rather than a silver spoon up her hole.

Itssoeasy

It's fair to say that the Carlow rose has if not produced a winning performance has certainly broken a few of the old stereotypes of the competition.

Laphroaig52

irish girl with an American accent?

Go home Yank.

Itssoeasy

Kildare to Dublin to Florida. 14 years has certainly changed the accent.

Seriously impressed. I knew a bit about her but not all that. Lovely girl and a great voice as well. Surely a favourite.
