    ..imagining that every time he lifted a bin that it sang "You raise me up" to him.

    You raise me up, so I can stand on rubbish
    You raise me up, to walk the stinky streets
    I am strong, when I have a bin on my shoulders;
    You raise me up... To more than I can be.

    Post of the day!

    Brian Kennedy was not very respectful towards that contestant with his "hunchback" remark. I do think that the contestant did take it well and on live television.

    B. Kennedy threw a glass of wine over someone who disrespected him. The Saturday night show was a publicity stunt and bad acting from all three 'adults'! I went to a few BK concerts as a fan and I do think he is a very talented vocalist BUT why does he pretend to value Eddi Reader's opinion about his 'difficult decision' when it is clear from his remarks that he can make harsh judgments effortlessly?

    The blind audition slant was definitely a new way of doing a talent show BUT what is the point of choosing SO MANY contestants, building up their hopes and dreams and then discarding SO MANY of them like someone throwing old sweet papers in the bin? The show is not for me. I won't be watching it again.

    Time for a mid term review at this point.
    Well, it is obvious from the talent on show here that a serious amount of research has been done by the producers. The amount of exband/semi pro singers that have gone into this competition make me wonder whether some of them have been approached to enter the competition before it started. Indeed, I am aware that there is a level of pre audition screening however one would have to ask why a lot of these people never showed up in X factor type auditions.
    No doubt the level of talent is a lot higher than most Irish talent shows, the productions is generally far better also but I would echo the post quoted.
    The whole blind auditions thing is a bit pointless if in the next round looks are as important as "The Voice". It is only a matter of time (if they havent started doing it already) that the judges will be talking about "the whole package". It would be very difficult to implement a "voice" all the way through however but still, apart from that "unique" selling point, ultimately it isnt much different to any other generic talent show.

    As far as the judges go, Cian is trying to hard to be Simon Cowell, although perhaps that's his natural demeanour. He is overly negative towards, even his own contestants.
    Brian Kennedy, I believe was either edited or taken up wrong regarding the hunchback comment, overall I think he has been decent in this show and he is by far the most talented and experienced of all the judges.
    Sharon is grand, has some strong talent and in general is pretty positive.
    Bressie, he's grand. Interesting enough picks but the guy is making himself out to be more than he is.
    This, no doubt, will help all of the judges own careers and of course probably launch the career of one or two of the contestants (maybe more, depending on the level of handcuffs contracts that the contestants signed up to) however, as with any of these shows one has to be wary of the level of editing and scripting that is done to make the show more entertaining to a larger audience than it normally should be.

    The sound in the Helix is still horrible for TV. IMO I don't understand for the need to use the venue, do RTÉ/Shinawhil have shares in DCU? Suppose most of them studied there.

    I thought the same, have to say though Fame did show up some good talent, in the line of musicals. But even the X-factor has gone down hill, pretty much since Jedward.

    I love Westlife but Kian Egan is a prick, he's well known for it. I went to a signing in HMV and he was on the phone the whole way through, didn't say anything to the fans to thank us for coming etc and actually told the girl in front of me to be quiet because she was crying too loudly. All the other lads were lovely but he is a prick.


  • Registered Users Posts: 182 ✭✭luppy


    Kian is a muppet. Enough said!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 storminateapot


    I'm a bit sceptical of how much success TVOI winner will really have after all the names of other talent shows have faded away.
    Anyway, I do think that Brian Kennedy's remark was harsh tonight but perhaps, it sounded like that due to editing. He is a very gifted singer. One of my own favourites actually. I have been to a few of his concerts. His recent tv appearances have not been his best though. Sharon Corr is a good judge and a credible one. She is my favourite on so far. I don't know who Bresie is. I've not heard of him at all before this show. Kian Egan is able to play ten instruments and sing so being multi skilled in so many areas of music should guarantee viewers lots of performances from him in the future. Something to look forward to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think I have seen too many x factor type shows to take this current one seriously. I don't think I will be watching them anymore. I'm a bit tired of them tbh.


  • Registered Users Posts: 46 Ilusa


    I see a lot of people are wondering what Kian sounds like singing, I was too and I came accross this youtube vid, you may want to skip the first song that doesn't really focus on him. Anyway judge away mes ami :P

    Just proves how a westlife concert sing-a-long is ****.

    I shouldn't point out spelling errors but that van of westlives can't spell. Neither can I!


  • Registered Users Posts: 223 ✭✭Diamond_Ninja


    I'm the same I've loved Westlife for years and Kian was always my favourite, he never spoke though and now I'm beginning to think that he wasn't allowed speak rather than a decision! He comes across as such a tool on the show!

    As for Bressie, I met him about a year ago I think, before he was on the show and he was lovely, chatted away to him he was really genuine and had time for everyone. We went to see him DJ last week and we were asked did we want to have a picture taken with him, long story short, we waited for ages, there was only about 6 or 7 of us and eventually were told that Bressie was too tired to have any more photos taken.. I was only peeved because we were asked in the first place!

    I realise this is just a random rant, I do apologise :D Looking forward to the live shows now so we can hear people singing on their own, reckon Brian might have a winner in that Ex boyband lad!

    Certainly not the best singer in the group. Remember the duo who sang Time To Say Goodbye in TVOI.
    (Vanessa I think and Dan). Miles and Miles ahead of Kian Egan's singing ability. (imho)

    Let's be honest, they're miles ahead of all of the judges really.

    Just watching the repeat ... the sound has gone all wrong. I think Conor broke it. Can't hear any of the singers now.

    Just watching the Creep performance.

    Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaysus.


    Kian looks ready to thump someone.

    The wee dwarf said that he'd sang in venues all around the world?

    Who is he?

    Is he in a band or what?

    We're all in this psy-op together.🤨

    Who Kian Egan? I think he is in some kind of band alright? Weather he sings or not is another question.

    I am actually obsessed with Conor. I listened to Damien Rice last night and Conor's version is better. Hes defo going to win or /and have a great career. Not Conor, yourman the other guy. You know who I mean

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,813 ✭✭✭themadchef


    Ara Cian is just trying to be a jumped up Simon Cowell. Only at least simon accepts that he cant sing ;)

    He's ruining it for me, the rest of the judges all seem pretty well balanced imo.


  • Site Banned Posts: 4,066 ✭✭✭Silvio.Dante


    According to the RTE Guide its Team Bressie and Team Brian tonight with four from each team 'safe'. So does that mean two from each are voted off I wonder...:)
