I honestly do not have a problem with auto-tune. Wouldn't mind hearing a few old Bob Dylan numbers given this treatment. That man could write, but not sing.

Ah now come on!! Bob Dylan could sing. It's not a mainstream style of singing, but it's a style that perfectly fits his songs. "A voice like sand and glue," as David Bowie put it so well.

Why not also replace the Beatles' scouse accents with nice estuary ones, and replace all of Joe Strummer's vocals with those of a moppet from the X-Factor?

Paul Simon's music is heavily over-produced...

Ikea's Ballymun store induces hypomania. Great place to spend a Sunday afternoon but jaysus help you- it is an assault on the senses.

I also like Brendan O' Carroll's line of work. Then again, I also count "White Chicks" among my favorite comedy movies so you know I have no taste!

Yeh it's just a sound effect like lots of other sound effects which are deemed fine. The problem with it is its over-use. It does sound dreadful if it comprises most of the song. But used a small bit it can sound fine IMO.

It does nothing for me. I'd rather listen to a bum note here and there if the song's worth singing.

You dont need to exercise or do a crazy diet to lose weight.

That's only when it's used with that obvious setting, most of the time it's not a sound effect and you wouldn't even notice it there, it's just used to make people who can't sing sound like they can. There are no human imperfections in recorded music anymore because of it, and people don't need talent to be famous singers.

Watched 5 series of Breaking Bad waiting and waiting and waiting to see this magnificent show that boards.ie TV forum was raving about.
Meh, I'm done. Won't be watching anymore, very poor show in my opinion.

The most racist people I know are Spanish. Good few in the office and I'd be in front of HR if I dared to say the stuff they come out with.
Maybe they see nothing wrong with what they say? Racist chanting at football grounds in UK and Ireland is largely gone but seems to be an issue still in Spain.

Alan Kelly TD from Tipp was in the newspapers claiming he recieved death threats.

Labour Party TD and Minister of State Alan Kelly has revealed that he had to call in the gardaí after receiving a death threat in the post.

The sinister incident was a very frightening experience for the minister and his family, he disclosed to The Guardian this week.

As a local that story is pure lies and when the real reason for this dispute comes out in the next month or two he will be destroyed and not get reelected.
Think Pat Kenny and claiming land you do not own

Yeh you can lose weight simply by changing your eating habits but a crazy diet isn't required. Some discipline is though.

once you get past his weird desire for rewriting irish history and his unhealthy fascination for the cumbags known as IRA...
Kevin Myers is a great journalist and makes you think....if only there was other journalists around like him instead of the agenda driven drivel the rest write.

Homeland is shíte.

Every episode is Claire Danes crying and making a ugly gurning face. The plot doesn't budge and does nothing to make you want to watch the next episode.

Breaking bad is average, lost interest after episode 4 of Series 1.

Speaking of which, you'll have seen the re-runs then of star trek the original series on the same channel.

Aside from a psychedellic and theatrical perspective, I don't get what all the fuss is about. It's bloody cringeworthy, but I can't stop watching it!

Your loss. Big Bang theory is absolute tripe, if it didnt have a laughing track in the background it would be cancelled after a few episodes.

Females who post pictures of themselves on Facebook wearing a pair of glasses with the caption, I'm such a nerd.

NO, NO your not. You're a whore who found a pair of glasses.

I thought the Big Bang Theory being ****e was a popular opinion. I actually think it's not that bad. It's not the best show I've ever seen and I don't find it outrageously funny, but it's quite easy to watch. I think the guy who plays Sheldon is quite a good actor too. He single-handedly carries the show.

The Gathering helps to perpetuate the stereotype of us being a bunch of spud-munching drunkards. If they called it "2013: Year of the Diaspora", I'd have no problem with it.

Drinking for the sake of drinking is stupid and a waste of money.

Not having a Pádraig Pearse/Michael Collins/Wolfe-Tone/Daniell O'Connell day but having an Arthurs Day.

Dismissing anything "non mainstream" and pretending to see merit in Justin Bieber or whatever in order to appear anti "hipster"... is just as pretentious and smug as being a "hipster".

I had to laugh at dreary old Johnny Marr "banning" David Cameron from listening to The Smiths

Which one is trying to be the hipster, there, I wonder?

Exactly. Although dont call my beautiful johnny dreary! :mad:
