    - the whole thing is an embarrassment, its cringeworthy

    It is, but as someone who has to watch it due to my other half,

    I've decided I'm going to embrace the cringe, and take it as nothing more than a big joke and something to laugh at.

    He was still there though, he was the one being produced, he might not have been making the decisions, but the decisions revolved around him and 3/4 other lads, surely they picked up a few tips & tricks along the way

    Looks like Katheryn Thomas has lost a bit of weight, she looks almost gaunt, and about 5 years older than last year!

    Still very patronising though "aw, your a little trier, well done you"

    Bet Una turns for him. She is into the country vibe and knows that it is popular with young uns these days.

    Recorded the show earlier... awful tripe so far!
    Last I'd heard only Una had committed to do another series, bit surprised to see all the others back too.
    Nobody interesting (to me) so far.
    Kind of pointless this show, what do the winners ever do once the cameras stop rolling?

    One of the finalists got a reality TV series out of it - Kelly Mongan.

    I saw a 'Reality Bites' show on a few weeks ago, about talent show contestants - the track record of The Voice of Ireland was sad. Even the British one doesn't produce 'hit records' but the Irish girl who sang opera (WillIam was her coach) and made it to the final did land a lead in a West End Show.

    I thought two of the previous winners were excellent performers - Pat Byrne and Brendan. Some good talent there, but a pity that the show can't actually seem to help them to make the career they promise to give them!

    I didn't watch the season where Pat Byrne won it, but saw him performing the following season, a song called All or Nothing, and I liked it, but that was it, never heard of him again.

    Brendan was also very good, and I had hopes he could make it if the path was carved correctly for him, but again, after seeing him perform on the show, went quiet!

    From what I can see Brendan is trying to break the uk. He was playing a few gigs there last year and if course is still gigging locally.

    Ultimate cringe TV. So bad that it's good.
    I see Westlife is trying desperately to cover up his rapidly balding crown. It's nearly a comb over from the back.

    Loved the "geeky" girl, who sang her own song about all the guys being gay. That was a lovely gesture from Bressie - to offer to record her. Really made the show for her and her family.

    Even if they weren't gay she'd have no chance looking like that!

    Why are Rte still showing this?

    Does the winner get a cash prize from it?

    So far no previous winners has made a decent career out of the voice of Ireland.

    What exzactly are the judges looking for, they are doing a terrible job because they havent found a popstar.

    Shows like this are designed for the presenters and judges. This format has passed its sell by date a long time ago. All these remain cheap to make and are the perfect filler for 1.5 hours on a Sunday.

    Because we are being bombarded with all these competitions and their winners and because the focus on the old winner is swapped in favour of the current contestants, there is little room for a career.

    I think if they looked for a country artist given it's revival a country style winner could have a decent career in Ireland maybe also get a judge/mentor from country music background, Crystal Swing Derek is looking for a job :p

    I'd love to see a whole new batch of judges, but that's probably asking for a bit much.
