    I stuck with You're A Star on the telly at the mo cos the gf is watching it and its making my blood boil. I dont watch it and its the first time ive ever had to but i cant believe this tripe is on the telly.

    * why do the judges seem to applaud really poor performers and knock the stronger performers.
    * Linda martin almost appears sexist as she slates the men (unless she thinks they're hot) and compliments all the women
    * the sound mixing of the performers (particularly the bands) is dire. Its like a school kids effort
    * the judges seem to knock the performer if they dont like the song.
    * linda martin with one of the poor female performers, told her she was great but told her not to try sing a rock song or, get this, an original song???

    Really is dire, dire telly!

    I have to wonder why people still seem surprised by this.

    yea, the judges are shocking

    i only watched cos a friends little bro is on

    it was shocking

    half the acts couldn't sing - hopefully just first night nerves...

    Argh! Don't get me started on this sh!t. I nearly smashed the tv last night. I agree with what you said AND as for the boyzone presenter? Did he even do a screen test? Did RTE have any standards? He's just total tripe reading off the screen.
    Oh and Brendan O Connor sweared twice and in between the two times he cursed he mentioned how the program was family entertainment. Unbelievable.

    yeah my sister swore he said "Thats b()lix" at one point, i wasn't in the room at the time so i'm Clueless but its not necessary, my old granda used to say its the sign of a weak mind when you can't find one word in the whole english language that'll do better than a curse.
