    Wow, fair play for breaking tradition and raising awareness for real life issues.

    An unwed young mother with addicts for parents? Heavens above *faints*

    She was lovely and her mother looked so proud! And massive kudos to doing really worth while charity work too.

    Well that has certainly taken a change.

    Is a transition year student handling the mics this year ? They normally cut off and we don't hear the conversation between the host and the rose.

    I’ve only looked up this thread to say how impressed I am with the Carlow rose.

    Her story, her family, her outlook on life and what a lovely voice.

    Many thinking the same, she is now into 5/1 2nd favourite.

    She was excellent though and a great singer too.

    She did come across very well and if she did win it would also be a nice pr story for the competition and rose of tralee committee.

    Mayo rose on next. I'll be honest normally this is a bit of a laugh but the Carlow rose has brought a reality to it that's never really been there.

    Is that a D4 accent or an American one? Can't tell them apart.

    Pain in the arse- bored to tears listening to her ****e on University and Law.

    Contrast to the Carlow rose who overcame actually adversity rather than a silver spoon up her hole.

    It's fair to say that the Carlow rose has if not produced a winning performance has certainly broken a few of the old stereotypes of the competition.

    Kildare to Dublin to Florida. 14 years has certainly changed the accent.

    Seriously impressed. I knew a bit about her but not all that. Lovely girl and a great voice as well. Surely a favourite.
