    Looks like Galway's favourite adopted singer won the show, I'd just like to point out that she was going out with my little brother for a while :D

    Have to agree.

    As far as I can see the person who could afford to spend more money on promoting herself was the one that won. there were posters all over the place for Lucia. people on the streets asking for votes. I think people should vote for the best act. not the one that everybody is shouting about.

    Don't get me wrong she was an allright singer(none of them were spectacular) but I think there were better in the competition.. Marilyn Bane for one.

    Marilyn was the least wooden of that lot. How those boys got to the final is anybody's guess. The bloody microphone stand was more lively.

    Amateurism at it's very best.

    At least it will get the O'Connor clot off the screen...

    Congrats to Lucia!

    A good lot of that was grassroots support though. She certainly didn't have the money to market herself much anyway, last I hear of Lucia she was working as a dispatcher in Big-O...

    She may not. but all it takes is a few friends in the right places. To do it for her(or anybody for that mater). anybody who becomes a sucess in the entertainment industry has to have the right backing. Where would Boyzone be with out the marketing engine that is Louis Walsh(the A**). how many bands do we hear who should be on the national stage. there is some awefull crap doing really well. I would rather listen to a band in the local or even some busker's on the streets would be better than the quality of music which was displayed on "you're a Star" Not to take away from Lucia she was among the better acts in the show.

    a glorified karaoke competition (i should know, i love that ****!)... who gets all the money from those texts? a right scam. i can't imagine why people who want to have a career in music want to compete. usually it spells the death knell for wannabe popstars.

    Lucia was like a politician with all the Irish she was speaking. I think there was a very smooth campaign run to get her those votes. She has a nice voice but the other finalists were musicians.
