    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.

    Bah. All a bit contrived....

    The contest are surely using her story as a modern angle but it most definitely wasn't contrived. She was very real.

    The Florida rose is certainly not lacking in confidence anyway.

    Are Rose winners going to be decided on novelty alone.. Maria Walsh was excellent as well as lesbian.

    Would the Carlow Rose be in the shake up without her being a mam and her parents being addicts??

    Probably would, she was a nice girl. Just hope someone wins as they're the best not for novelty or popularity trends.

    Agreed.

    But Walsh didn't present herself as lesbian at the show....it (er) "came out" later. She won it fairly on the strength of her 'Rosyness"

    It's good to see RoT moving along with the times and that's why it has lasted as long as it has.

    But just because someone has a hard luck story (however genuine), that doesn't in itself make a winner.

    Leaving out Carlow's background, she was fairly mediocre.
    A sympathy vote is just a patronising insult....however well intentioned.

    I'd hate to see it turn into the Rose of Hard Knock Life.

    She was too perfect, she needed a rough edge or two. She could be genuine though, if that's the case then fair play to her but people will find it hard to identify with her.

    When you see a big frock like that, there's short odds on a dance coming up soon......

    This girl has a fair set of teeth. Nothing unique about her personality wise.

    Don't think so. She was a lovely singer and stood on her own merits coming across as a lovely girl all round. Well done to her

    I'd say 'boss' being the operative word!
