    This show is a fix tbh Dublin Girl was miles better than any of these.

    EDIT: Is it just me or does it look as if they are dancing in slow motion?

    Blanith prob had a big cry about how she had no act in the final and thd others bought it.


    Wouldn't the fact that shouty woman had no act in the final just compound the evidence that her taste in talent was utter shíte, and therefore she deserves to be act-less in the grand finale?

    I cant believe Im actually bothering to be honest. There's bugger all long term talent on display. The should have just named it "The All Ireland search for children with a small amount of potential" , or "The All Ireland search for the nation's least offensive midweek pub singer" or just "The All Ireland search for children with a semi-amusing 3 minute party trick who none of us will ever hear from again as soon as this crap is finished"

    Who are you referring to?

    Are you referring to the lads from the Aran Islands? If so, how do you think people live? Wearing surfer dude's clothes saying "far out man"?

    Where do you live? West Britain? Irish music and dance are still very much part of life for many of us.

    Tuned in for the first time ever today, to see some eejit jumping around with a violin playing about 2 notes. Of course, the judges called him a 'talented musician', and compared him to Jimi Hendrix and Slash. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've picked up a violin, and I'm 100% certain I could have done something better.

    The song prob sums it up, hit the road jack. She did her best though. not a bad voice but nothing special or nothing you would not come across in many pubs and clubs on a sat night. On a side note she probably is the one that could use the 50000 euro the most, been a mother of three.

    So you reckon she gets the vote from all the 14 year old single mothers texting in who can empathize? If fairness, she does have a good voice but the person who chose the song and the person who chose her outfit (surname connors no doubt), should be lined up against the wall and shot.

    Winner will be out of Daithí, Jack or Mulkerrin Brothers.

    here's hoping the little dude gets it,but the whole voting for the act in your area might clench it for the dubs..pity because those 2guys had some problems...like their singing for one!:p

    Stay on the lonely street so. You have not watched previously, so you have no idea of that lads pedigree.

    Look, I don't think any of us hate Irish music.

    But, let me break it down for you. The violin guy basically presses a button to start a backing drum track, then lays down 4 simple notes, presses another button that repeats it, then does it again with the harmony, and then plays some inane melody over it. This is talent? That is insulting to really great, talented traditional Irish musicians.

    Well the judges said he 'upped his game'. If THAT's what he pulls out of the hat for the final, I can only imagine what he'd been doing before. And to compare him to Jimi Hendrix?? Glad I didn't watch this god-awful show.

    Lets face it there are far better violin players then that guy,some even younger, he is not exceptional.
    The whole plucking etc is just a gimmick and the fact he has the zac efron quality guarantees that he gets the teenage girls votes

    I am. Id imagine theres no difference at all between the way people west live compared to people in the east.

    There act was all a bit twee for my liking. Its like something lifted straight out of Dev's Ireland. Or escaped from Bunratty Castle

    No i dont recon that she gets all the votes from 14yo single mums. You said that? What i meant was that 50000 euro would go a long way in bringin up her young children. I would imagine that there is lot of bill to pay feeding them, clothes for them etc. And i guess she choose the song herself as Blanath said after it gets a great reacation when she plays it at one of her gigs. As for who dressed her, maybe she could not aford anything better. prob the best on the night where the mulkerrin brothers and the opera singer from the north.

    Ok so I didn't read the above as I am sure it was the same old same old from boards (Change the channel, both metaphorically and literally :D )

    Anyway I have seen it on and off over the past 10 weeks. Unimpressive start to the series.

    But this final is quiet good, bar Blanthaid's Token entry for the East, and I amn't a fan of opera so Dana's act was for me TBH. Each of the other acts really improved.

    Dublin to win!

    Light Sunday night viewing IMO. 4 pages already !!!! I am sure everyone else is in good form :)
