You're a Star 2005 contestants?

tvfan

Hi guys,
Hope ye all are well! I am just wondering what has happened to the "You're a Star" contestants since the show went off air in MArch. There was such good talent like "Jade" and "The Henry Girls" in that show? What have happened to them, have they got any record contracts or appearences or does anybody know what they are doing? And even what are the winners Donna & Joe up to now? Also any other contestans such as Pete Fagan/Ann/Harrington/Sinead Mulvey/Sinead Hand/Fran King etc.
Anybody got any idea at all. I really hope the henry girls get a contract and do well, they were really good and talented. Any help would be apreciated!

Whatever about the varying degree of talent the rest had, if there's a God we'll never ever have to see/hear Ann Harrington ever again...*please*

Well, it seems Jade have been given the job of singing our national anthem in Croke Park before big matches. I've seen them do it at least twice. So at least they've made it.

And how in the name of God do you remember all their names?!

Unfortunately You're A Star will be returning for another series, but at least it's not going to select our Eurovision entrant this time.

"Would you like fries with that?" or similar

I think in general, nobody from You're a Star ever gets very far, even the winners. The only one's to actually get anywhere were Simon Casey and Micky Harte from the first series. All the others seem to have disappeared, thankfully. I think that young guy last year released an Album, but I've never heard much of him.

Did Donna and Joe get any votes in the qualifiers? Not that I really care but I'd like to think that the rest of Europe have some sense of decency when it comes to music (except the Germans obviously, have you heard David Haselhoff sing?).

James Kilbane (2 series ago) seems to have got himself listened to by the auld grannies on local radio and just released his latest albumn, him singing gospel music. He been to America and recently opened "the craic at the track" held in mayo. Auld biddies again showed up. Chris Doran was there and he now started signing county music, "its what i started signing , so i am going back to my roots" a direct quote that. Basically meaning my pop signing was **** and james seems to be doing quite well out of this country lark so ill try and take a piece of that cake.

All the your a star people usually end up on phil coulters show during the summer. Well the best of them do.

I aint a your a star fan or a james kilbane fan but he is never off the local radio station which my father listens to constantly.

We scored 14th place (out of 25) with 53 points, better than we all expected.
Here's who voted for us:

United Kingdom - 12pts
Hungary - 10pts
Malta - 5pts
Romania - 5pts
Croatia - 5pts
Turkey - 4pts
Bosnia & Herzegovina - 4pts
Estonia - 2pts
Andorra - 2pts
Poland - 2pts
Cyprus - 1pt
Bulgaria - 1pt

12pts from the UK is no surprise, but 10 from Hungary is.

They went right back into the bin of mediocre obscurity from whence they came.

RTE used the 'My Lovely Horse' strategy on Eurostar, or didn't you notice?

Is it me or does Brian Ormond just prove that if you hang around somewhere long enough, not being good enough for anything, that they will just give you a job anyway because they feel sorry for you, like RTE appear to have done with this clown.

Yep, they're no longer competing for the chance to come second last in Eurovision.

Brian Ormond

I think they should let him present the next series of UR A STAR. He seems like a natural presenter.

Because none of the contestant (or anyone else) has a platform other then the show itself they go into total obscruity.

3 of the girls got a slot on Coltur and Co :mad:
