Is Bressie over-rated?

Slideshowbob

What has he actually achieved apart from a few hits in Ireland?

I actually feel quite proud to say that I don't know a thing about 'Bressie' :P

What kind of a fecking name is that anyway?

Sar_Bear

Totally.

I liked him in The Blizzards, other than that I don't see the attraction

His last name is Breslin, it's a nickname

littlefriend

He is an absolute ride!

His music is woeful. Music for the mainstream public who don't know anything outside of Nikki Minaj and Drake.

galwayrush

Never even heard of him until now, so never rated him good or bad..

Nodin

I have heard him joked about, but thought he was a TV presenter or something.

hairyprincess

He's on that woeful Voice of Ireland show, that's all I can tell you

Fighting Irish

over-rated to be judge on the voice of ireland? lol

MyKeyG

I never heard of him until he was on the Irish voice or whatever it's called and girls started having orgasms all over their Facebook walls.

Mint Sauce

He should have never left The Blizzards.

He isn't overrated, in fact he isn't rated at all.

Ms. Pingui

He's a good lookin' guy but nothing to get overly excited about!

I never realised who he was for the past couple of months until I read this.

I literally heard about him for the first time this morning via women I'm friends with complementing photos that were put up in his Facebook page, they haven't posted any of his music though so I've no idea if he's any good.

Terrible music from the blizzards, but RTÉ needs some sort of pinup hunk to attract that fanny market too.

The guy is hardly rated as it is so how could he be possibly be over rated. He gets the women moist.

These threads read like the Georgia Shelpa ones where you have women having a go at her because she is probably more beautiful and successful.

WoollyRedHat

Was he on the LLS? He's defintely not rated so.

How can somebody I've never heard of be overrated?

Irish celebrities don't really count as celebrities

Meh, I remember when he was just in another teen band then they had a bit of radio play and he turned into a knob other than that what has he done well got the attention of the festival goers and pop fans.. ahem teen girlos who usually only listen to English and American pop, made contacts, has a job he can always go back to when he becomes passe and that's about it, as far as musicians go he's not someone who will go down in the history books but as far as Irish musicians go he seems to be hardworking but the rest is down to taste with that kind of music aimed at young audiences, compared to other musicians I have encountered he's not stuck in some rut of a pub every night talking about his next EP that will never come out, and then there are the folk who had top selling singles, headline gigs and now don't and those who are trying to produce/write/anything and failing so compared to them he's done alright and I respect that and I have heard a lot worse and I wouldn't say over rated as its pop its a bit of fun, its meant to be naff, cheesy, booby and not over analysed or put up against really well respected bands.

WHO?

Ice87

He's the Craig Doyle of the Irish music scene.

Good looking and a decent bloke. Not exceptionally talented in their lines of work but will get work nonetheless.

Still I'd say he pulls whatever he likes.

Fair play to the man.

He's a filthy roide.

I wouldn't say he's overrated, he wouldn't have needed the Voice of Ireland to become popular if he was. In defence of the man, it takes a ballsy chap to give up a more than promising career in Irish rugby to follow aspirations of being a singer in a band. The Blizzards were good fun, saw them live a couple of times, always a good show and the lyrics might have been a bit throwaway but it takes talent to write a catchy tune, which they had more than one of.

The modern day Bressie seems a sound lad, despite the fact he's good looking and mega popular at the mo. He could be an awful pr!ck but always comes across well in interviews, very humble. Don't watch the Voice but find his new solo stuff ok. A lot better than some of the ghostwritten, auto tuned shyte in the charts today.

who is bressie?

JerryHandbag

I listened to a song by The Blizzards once. My ears bled.

Apologies for my lack of knowledge on z-list celebs but is this bressie guy the goofy guy that was in the irish Apprentice show a few years ago?

Yeah thought he was the one who made it BIG as a RTE 'personality' from the travel show a few years back with three student **** acting the maggot on a shoestring (The shoestring liberally supplied by RTE and us,... I do bitter)

Evidently Im wrong as he wasnt musical. Anyhows!

RichieC

I've never heard of him so I doubt it.

_petulia_

All I know Bressie from is The Voice so he can't have done that much before. Yes, he is way overrated, in all respects.

Celebrity forum please.
