He is a successful artist and the LLS show invited him on to comment on the Song for Europe on Friday night. He is in the music business and knows what he is talking about.;)JonathanAnon wrote: »She..

He is a good singer. He has made a career out of it.;)WesternNight wrote: »Either that or is disagreeing that Brian is a fine singer
Is that the song he sang for Ireland in the Eurovision:cool: if it was voted for in the Song for Europe part then that was the voters fault and not his. You probably voted for him yourself. I thought it was just as good as any other songs Ireland put through to the Eurovision myself plus he was an established singer.:)JonathanAnon wrote: »Ye, couldnt understand that.. I thought it was a really catchy song.. Pretty ironic considering Lordi won, and he came nowhere with a probably one of the worst songs we have ever entered in the competition.. Every Song Is A Cry For Love.. awful rubbish..
What is a "Nordie"...He is an "expert" on the Eurovision because he took part in it.;)He's just a Nordie wan*er acting nice to get on with everyone. True artists don't 'play' the system. Hate the way Irish people think they're experts on the Eurovision because we won it 15 years ago.
she has had global success but BK has not done too bad either. He wasnt really having a "pop" at her that I heard, just comparing music styles.I love the way he had a pop at Britney Spears aswell, which is pretty bizarre when ya think he has alot in common with her, neither write their own material, however Britney has had alot more success.0 -

The George Best Single was the worst.JonathanAnon wrote: »He certainly is Cris.. but my point is that the songs he's released have been a very poor vehicle for his voice.. I mean can you genuinely pick a decent song out of those singles I listed above.. (I mean not without picking one out just to contradict me.. lol) With the right songs, he could have been a huge star imo..
Just thinking back.. I wouldnt have voted for that song, or probably any of them... But weren't there five final songs in the final.. one of which he had written, "Every Song Is A Cry For Love"... and then he sang the other four songs (written by other people) as well. Then the audience or whoever happened to pick that song as the winner.. I think that's how it worked anyway.. Was an odd setup altogether.. He has made a good career out of being a singer eg he has sang at the Whitehouse and eg thanked President Clinton for knowing the words to some Irish songs. So he is a big star and a talent. He did just as well in the Eurovision as Niamh Kavanagh did eg. He has a career outside of the Eurovision and is always a welcome guest on shows such as the LLS because he knows the music business and is great to chat to. 0 -

nearly forgot.. I went a searching on the InterWeb and found them... He sang THREE songs that night..
Song A : Jimmy MacCarthy - The Greatest Song Of All..
Song B: Don Mescall - All Over The World
Song C: Brian Kennedy - Every Song Is A Cry For Love

He made comments on Friday night that he was right to do as he represented Ireland at the Eurovision, has a music career outside of the Eurovision and knows what he is talking about.;) Oh JonathanAnon has been doing some internet searching and he finds that BK sang 3 of the songs on that nightTeamshadowclan wrote: »Yeah, you're right.

I'm not going to comment on his talents or his history as a musician, outside of saying that I think outside of this country, he'd have to be classified as an unknown I will say that he talked some major nonsense on Friday night and is the personification of what I dislike about Ireland's song choice process. He's a relic of a bygone age and doesn't have a clue what the entire of Europe is looking for. His comments about Lordi were absurd and he may as well have said "Those young'uns with their rappy rock music; they play it too loud!" BK is not a "relic of a bygone age" you are just agreeing with jonathan anon . are you jonathon'anon's other id:D
Thanks for doing your internet research, Irelands song for europe that year was sending over an established star. How did niamh kavanagh do last year could be your next internet search.:)JonathanAnon wrote: »nearly forgot.. I went a searching on the InterWeb and found them... He sang THREE songs that night..

Saw your initial post, I'm not admitting defeat.. Kavanagh won it 1993. She lost badly last year, but that doesnt take from her first win or her credibility..
Can wait to see what this crazy pair do in the actual competition.. should be some craic..0 -
Glad that you wait to see my posts before I check for spelling mistakes.:rolleyes::D How is your other id doing.:rolleyes: Niamh won the Euro before yes but she didnt win it last year. she did really badly. and she doesnt have a career out side of the eurovision does she.:cool:JonathanAnon wrote: »Saw your initial post, I'm not admitting defeat..

Leave this type of thing out.
JonAnon is a credible poster in this forum. He doesn't need to create an "other id" and he certainly doesn't need you accusing him of same.
Get over yourself! 0 -

Yeah, if we want to compete, we need to send them what both the judges and the voting audience are looking for.... And that seems to be a combination of youth / looks / dance act / upbeat song... if we keep sending the type of song that our Eurovision purists THINK should win, then we will continue to finish in the bottom half..
I think there is an amount of snobbery and nostalgia about "the good old days" of Eurovision from elder Eurovision statesmen like Logan and Shay Healy.. Brian Kennedy also comes across as being a bit bitter about the thing. He's probably still pissed off that he was beaten by a crowd of monsters (Lordi) in 2006..
Niamh Kavanagh had a much better attitude towards the thing last year.. more of an "all I can do is my best, and let the others do the judging" attitude. And in choosing to send her, I think that those behind the Irish Eurovision effort may have been influenced by the fact that Johanna (Iceland) came second to Rybak with a big ballad the previous year.. Johanna was stunningly beautiful as well, which I'm sure helped..0 -

Get over yourself! How would you know he is a credible poster are you another id of him..:p otherwise get over yourself.;) I guess I wont get a thanks from Jonathaonanon for this like you did.:D
Your post doesnt make any sense.Teamshadowclan wrote: »Ok, looking back over my last post, I will admit I was a little harsh to BK. He's a decent enough singer and he does have some semblence of a career outside of the country.
I stand by my comments that he doesnt have a clue though. When I call him a relic, I'm refering to the fact that he seems to think a nice song or something "Irish" will win the competition, when anyone who looks back over the last few years will see that's simply not the case.
In the last four years, the winners have all been under 30 years old (19, 23, 24 & 27, if my maths is correct, going backwards in years). Five years ago, a rock song won it, which is obviously aimed at the youth of Europe. Continuing back,in 2005, a 24 year old won it and in 2004, a 33 year old won it, but with a preformance which involved (iirc) whips, fire, scantly clad men and women and a lot more bling, so to speak.
But BK, and many others at RTE, are still convinced that Ireland can win with someone in their 40s, singing a "nice" balad. No pop tracks, no backing dancers, no energy. Just an over-reliance on nostalgia and "credibility". Every year, a load of old fogeys go on the Eurovision and moan about the young'uns and seem to start every sentence with "back in my day..."
BK may have a "credible" career but he's not really one you could define as "popular". RTE fills it's critic roles on the Late Late with a load of old people, nearly ignoring the young people who will control the show on the night. Jedward are a "young" act. They are adored by young teenage girls (who I believe control all voting on all talent shows). They are well known in England. They have pledged to start hitting European shows to get themselves better known. And they have more chance to appeal to the youth of Europe that Niamh Kavanagh or Brian Kennedy will ever do.
As for the accusation I'm an alt, can I just say...lol. Heaven forbid someone might actually agree with someone else on the internet. But then I'm missing that the internet is actually the plaything of a single entity who posts as millions of different accounts...:P:D its all over the place. make a point. or are you just spamming.;)
Hi again jonathananon, still posting, bk came across as knowing what he talked about something you could learn from.:rolleyes:JonathanAnon wrote: »Yeah, if we want to compete, we need to send them what both the judges and the voting audience are looking for....
