The Ray D'Arcy Show - 13th. February 2016

Ten Pin

Monkey off the back

Frog in the throat.

Ah there was a monkey on his back, I knew there was something wrong.. I would have guessed a cat digging it's claws in to his head but a monkey on his back would certainly explain it.

Ok so I am no musical expert. And I have no ear for music

So I will take all your feedback on about his actual singing.

But I liked the song, and the performance, and Nicky.

Go Ireland!!!!!!

Negative criticism!

Hold on to your hats folks. I'm going to predict the future. Nicky isn't going to win the Eurovision this year. Night all.

Everything about it was awful

"never heard of it"

mudder of god..... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

The state of Ray's face there about your man giving a bit of constructive criticism. Nicky had the decency to take it on board.

Ryan Tubridy looks like Johnny Carson compared to Ray Darcy.

He's no good, but he has a small bit of interest in the interviewees and slight awareness of their emotions.

Another painful show for the love of God bring Brendan back!

Thargor

It sounds exactly like the songs you get on boyband albums where they have one or two famous songs and they need to squeeze out 10 more to fill the album, complete and utter fluff.

I thought he was slightly shaky (or nervous) at the start but was fine by the first chorus.

I agree. He's plastic.

Ha-Delighted actually yon chap gave him feedback. Bit stationary! Fair play to him. Didn't like to hear that did he.

There was nothing in that song that an up and comer couldnt do but sure what ever. He might do better cos of who he's been part of. And if he doesn't sure at least we'll know.

The Royal Scam

Jeysus how obvious is Ray looking at his cue cards. While talking to mcSavage he even pretnded to scratch his head so not to make it obvious he was reading it. Does Ross or Norton even use cue cards

Welsh Megaman

Crisis for Nicky...

He actually has to think about MOVEMENT on stage!

Patty O Furniture

I'd say Ray's pissed, as it's the first yr he hasn't travelled to it, you don't think he had anything to do with our chances in winning :rolleyes:;);)

Such a bad state of affairs when DLB starts looking good compared to someone else.

D'Arcy seems to like trying to humiliate people. Obviously the thing to do there was make it all flow right as any normal person would in any social situation like that.

He just doesnt have the experience as a singer. No matter how RTE try to sell it, he's NOT a hugely experienced singer. He's never been a front man, always just oohing and aaahing on the backing vocals. Shane Filan was a great singer, he never missed any notes. Missed a few notes on paying back the mortgage payments alright, but never on any of the Westlife choons.

no he sounded like he couldn't hear himself in his monitors at all, I know I was taking the mick but it was awful and it really did appear to me like he couldn't hear himself, that or he really is that bad :pac:

Poor Simon, I'd say he was talking himself down off the ledge that evening.

Ray's probably just said to Simon, " I'm good with keyboards, mind if I have a go!"?"..

What was the Robert Palmer thing?! I think you might have dreamt that!

jluv

I actually love Nicky on the Nicky and Jenny show.Listen every day..
OMG I think this is a really bad move for him. Sounds good on recording but live I thought it was poor..

W1zardst

If Nicky Byrne wasn't part of a well connected elite consisting of RTE/Bertie/Fianna Fail/Louis Walsh and so on, would he be let anywhere near the Eurovision?

Some day his face is going to flip up to reveal a tiny alien operating the RayDarcy Mark I.
Just here to observe our primitive race

I just posted on the LLS in defence of DLB''s performance last night :)

Just so I can claim to be objective, whenever we next get accused of being overly negative

i think he's said it a few times, Ryan won't have him on, i wonder why

He was on the lls with Pat Kenny, I remember him doing a bit on how weird it was that Tubs had procreated, then acted out Ryan having sex by humping the desk and making 'ih ih ih' sounds

I'm pretty sure that happened

Don't Chute!

Nicky: "that's the monkey off my back".
Everyone else: "shut up you ****".


Mod:
No need for this

Is that Animal from The Muppets on the left?

First time watching the Ray D'Arcy show there tonight.

The story about the husband/father with Motor Neurone disease was very moving.

On another note, he is an absolutely awful presenter. They replaced Brendan O'Connor who was awful with this guy.

The prize in the phone in show is €3000. Used to be €10,000 , then €5,000.

Like the LLS even the prize money is becoming crap.

1 guess where the money went

To be honest, I bailed and started watching Rocky on DVD instead of the RDS
But the thread looks decent in fairness. Great work, people, even when faced with a wrecking machine of a host.

It's not running up those steps to Independence Hall, it's actually running away from Ray, raising yer arms in relief, while we're doin it in grief

Did you ever see the price of them in the supermarkets that import them along with a shelf of other American stuff. About €9

I heard there's an Irish aisle in some UK Tesco's, similar prices as well?

This and the LLS makes the tv licence very annoying.

Imelda Mae show on again.

Don't Go by The Hothouse Flowers is such a good tune.

Sketch, Kodaline!

Just watching Nicky Byrne singing live. His voice is surprisingly weedy. The oul song has no chance. Too generic and boring
