That last crowd should have never made it to this stage ffs.. Looked like they'd been together for about a week.. Load of rubbish from Bláthnaid in their defence.. They were NO WAY ready for the big stage...

Yep, pretty poor alright. A lot of these acts would just about manage to get on to a local "scor" talent contest but defo not the national stage - with a TV audience.
Gotta love the bit "The lines are open - MAJOR PAUSE - now" that makes a major difference, that does......

Same style but in fairness I think there were many who had the same style similiar to Ricky Martin long before Ricky Martin.

First time watching this show this evening. All I can say is Brunker got her just desserts.

Amanda Brunker should be ashamed of herself, she basically said Irish culture as in the Irish dancing was something that should be in the past.

I think she ruined her own act's chances by dismissing a part of Irish culture.

Ah now, she was never the sharpest tool in the box in fairness.

Tried to watch 5 mins of this evenings show.......it really is a sh*t programme. A panel of tools for judges and a lame studio set up. And don't even get me started on some of the contestants, although they can't be blamed really.

you know, I think if they just had a talent show .. without
a) the annoying judges.
b) having the judges as "mentors" and all the irrelelvant petty squabbling that brings.
c) the stupid, stupid unfair voting system.
it would be far more bearable...

It would be even more bearable if they scrapped it altogether.

Ya I'm so confused. Why was aiden taking her place

Ugh wee danny next week can't wait.... NOT :mad:

furlonr3 · 06-02-2011 10:11pm

maybe she found out the East were last again and couldn't hack it! Must be pretty demoralising week after week!

Ya she's a useless judge anyway.

Whatever people say about the show or the acts there are some
really talented people in this country. How about a bit of positivity
for a change?
Shauna Buckingham was brilliant last night and Mad for Road
had a great energy about them.
Both deserved to progress

Blá was taken to hospital from the set last night with stomach problems..

Blathnaid rushed from set to hospital

ALL Ireland Talent Show judge Amanda Brunker has asked fans to "pray" for co-star Blathnaid Ni Chofaigh after her she was taken ill on last night's show.

The flame-haired presenter (40) collapsed and was rushed immediately from the set in order to receive medical treatment.The mum-of-four was too sick to go back on air following the backstage show. Blathnaid, who had to undergo surgery for a twisted bowel the year before last, is now feared to have suffered a relapse after she collapsed in agony on set at Ardmore Studios last night, complaining of stomach pains.

Her fellow stars of the show have come forward to reveal their concern for the bubbly presenter. Amanda Brunker said last night: "Anyone who prays please say a few for my pal Blathnaid -- very worried about her right now."

The Dublin judge said that her colleague "took a turn".And former Eurovision singer Dana told the Herald this morning about her concerns."I know Blathanid for many years, she wouldn't not have been there if she could have been," she said. "You wouldn't lightly just step out of the live show, she actually had to be seen to. She's the ultimate professional and I wish her well absolutely."

Her collapse sent shockwaves through the studio, and while Blathnaid said she had been feeling unwell earlier on in the show, staff never expected her condition to worsen. "She said she wasn't that great during first show," Dana said.
