What the hell was that one of the WORST versions of Creep I have heard

I preferred the "Shakira" girl to this one.

I was about to write the same thing. While she was nothing special she was by far a better singer.

Why do our own singers sing with American accents?

Exactly and that Objection song is not the easiest to sing.
They just don't seem to be turning for the right people.

Poor Dan!

Singing through her nose, no?

I didn't notice the nose thing so much but her diction was atrocious.

Very poor standard tonight.

Just tonight? Pure cringe watching this show. Rachel is a fine thing.

Witchie

Just catching up on it now and saw me behind my future hubby Bressie when he was talking about Ciaran. It didn't come as well across on tv but Ciaran live made the hairs stand on you. He was breathtaking. He is my winner.

Watching Moylan now and was sitting beside her mum's boyfriend during the battles and she is defo one to watch.

CFlat

Cian Egan on the money as usual.

Wow she's a good looking girl hopefully she can sing

AndyBoBandy

Everyone just sounds the same,

Being a good singer doesn't mean getting picked.

I honestly cant remember 1 single performance from the show this year (or last year)

Lisha

The girl who just sang 'huw deep is your love ' was good.

In general I think the really good singers stayed at home and avoided this show

Big fan of west life??

Ya I'm sure you are

Crimsonforce

The singer's are awful.
Replace this show with celebrity feirmoir

Lisha

Patrick's devastated. Feel bad for him .

Just as a matter of interest Witchie you said you were on it last week too so are the blind auditions all done in a one day sitting or is it done over a few days?

There were 6 recording sessions: 2 on the Friday, 2 on the Saturday and 2 on the Sunday. We were on the 2nd one on the Saturday.

The coaches wear the same clothes for all 3 days for continuity purposes.

I think there were 16 acts the night we were there and am sure there were a similar number the other recordings. They have chopped them up into the shows we see.

The night we were there I think there were only 4 that didn't get through to the battles so there must have been loads that didn't in the other shows so they obviously have to share them out through the Sunday shows.

More brutal muck. Absolute muck television.

CFlat

Top class quality singing so far this evening. The first two in particular.

seachto7

People getting on who obviously can't sing. I suppose it's entertainment...

maximo31

Is it me or was that doctor guy's singing terrible?? And all 4 of them turned. Standard seems poor alright.

Same here.Even my dog said he was sh1te.

Why Do We Fall

A backwards baseball cap and dungarees.... is it the 90s again?

Good voice but have doubts about whether she can 'perform', that's probably not important though if they pick the right songs consistently for her.

Ropey, but surrounded by "yes men" obviously. You can't beat a bit of neck.

CFlat

Basic requirement of any singer is to be able to sing in time.

The Talking Bread

this one is the image of Stacey Branning!

The Talking Bread

and so is this one 😄😄😄😄

CFlat

I think he looks like her too Talking Bread.

seachto7

So, Bressie, when is your album going to be launched?

That's why I keep watching. Pure durt.

CFlat

Ah don't worry, you have a voice in there...hopefully it'll never escape.

Autosport

Felt so bad for her, too big a song for her

anewme

Rachel is a kind person with a lovely way about her.

Autosport

Come on Lola, yeah team una

No point to this show. Winner's never have any chart success and most of the talent is shocking. If your any good better off staying away from this tripe. Just another cheap production from the shower of tosser's at rte.

lertsnim

I think you watched it wanting to hate it.

Checkmate19

No i know its crap i just wanted to make sure things are the same as before. What is the point of the show. Anyone decent is going to go on the x factor. Also the winner never makes any career out of it. It's just a gloried cheap karaoke contest to fill sunday night and make some money on the phone votes. Rte should be putting some money in decent programs instead of peddling this crap on us.

Witchie

One thing I will say is that live they sound different. The girls Laura and Lola were 10 times better live so am assuming the Doc was too.

Eyepatch

They let a few good singers slip this time.

which goes back to my earlier post that RTE are incapable of producing a singing show, as for me, the sound has always been awful.

A number of people have mentioned how good certain singers were (from actually being in the Helix) yet when it's broadcast on TV, they sounds terrible.

Surely RTE could get the basics of sound mixing right.

And while their at it, maybe during the performances they could stop cutting to Kathryn Thomas or the haircut guy backstage saying 'she's brilliant' every 20 seconds, and actually let us hear the performance, albeit with terrible sound.

Here's a thing. If the singers(and I use that term loosely) that we watch on a Sunday night are out of tune/have no timing then they are the exactly the same as when they are watched live in the Helix. It has nothing to do with sound. I agree that the sound is not great but that doesn't make people sing in key live and make them out of tune when we watch them on TV. If you think about it, it doesn't even make sense.

What I suspect is that in a party type atmosphere in the Helix with a buzz going and maybe a few drinks taken, some background noise that these things aren't noticed as much as we notice when we are watching on TV and being more analytical about it, if you know what I mean.

Yea, the constant unnecessary compliments are annoying esp when some of them clearly have no discernible singing talent. Hopefully in the live shows they will shut up but what we are watching is already recorded so... Maybe just let the family/friends sit in the room on their own.
