    Good for her but she still couldn't impress me unless she played an instrument herself. I also prefer artists who write there own songs!

    Ke$ha does write her own songs.. :)

    The biggest joke about this blink thing is that tickets go on sale about 14 months before the gig is schedule to take place. For fúck sake like
    That's nothing..

    .. I bought tickets for Peter Kay next week on 7th December 2009! :D

    Still prefer QOTSA to Kesha! She doesn't even come close to them :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,901 ✭✭✭Gunslinger92


    Kesha cant be compared to QOTSA anyway, they are completely different genres. It's like comparing say.. Foo Fighters to Lady Gaga or something, completely pointless.

    Ke$ha's actually pretty good live if you ask me, she puts on a good show anyway. Isnt that what concerts are all about? Shes fun, and doesnt give a **** about what people think about her. And totally agree with people saying she cant be compared to QOTSA. Ask people whove theyve heard of, and theyll most likely say Ke$ha. I had to google QOTSA, didnt have a clue who they were. Cant wait to see her.

    In all fairness QOTSA are a pretty well known band....

    My friend was at the EMA's this year and said Kesha was terrible and sounded terrible and when it came across on tv she had to be over dubbed. Personally i have no respect for any artist who uses Autotune

    Here like every1 likes there own type of music. QOTSA are a good band, and Im sure you could have a laugh at Ke$ha. Isnt that what its all about? I hated lotsa bands last year but went to them anyway and my mind was changed! Either way, both acts would be good live!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,950 ✭✭✭Pinturicchio


    After today's announcement I'm definitely not going this year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 wigwam9


    The script headliners?...what a load of bollax,westlife with guitars..:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,298 ✭✭✭Namlub


    Well everyone's had a few months to get over it, I don't really like them so I won't see them. Easy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43 Mulvee

    Ah sher there's still gonna be another 60 acts announced atleast, with a few big acts left.....either way u could still buy a ticket in ticketmaster or golden discs the week before

    There not headlining!!!!!

    As someone said abover just because you dont like 1 or 2 acts at a festival you dont have to go see them simples. There have been festivals ive been to and didnt like a few of the bands playing but it didnt bother since i skipped them

    Agree with this, I can never understand people complaining about acts at a festival, you don't have to see them. If you see 15 acts out of the loads that play then you're doing well like.

    How are The Script the equivalent to Westlife playing guitars?

    The only Script song that sounds like Westlife by any means is The Man Who Can't Be Moved. These guys are more your typical out-of-school talented with instruments and unique voices kinda guys.

    I've had lots come out of my school, Bell X1 to name but a few and none of them sound anything like Westlife.

  • Registered Users Posts: 309 ✭✭RonyPonyBah


    Look no matter how questionable Ke$ha's abilities are, The headliners BEP are possibly the worst live act i'v ever seen



    Worker 1: Just raise the auto-tune!!!

    Worker 2: IT CANT GO ANY HIGHER!!

    Worker 1: Bull Sh*t!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 747 ✭✭✭Belle E. Flops

    The Foo Fighters are Hands Down the best band in the World... * but The Strokes are a close second..First Impressions of Earth is Brilliance..

    Always the inevitable clashes so think we should send a special request to the organisers to clash Coldplay on Main with Slash on Vodafone:)..U know the fans want it MCD...Do It Do It:D
