at first i wanted to shaft the singer, but then i thought better of it - what did you think bearded one?

 

[coast to coast]

what the hell are you talking about? that is not true at all

anyway, at the end of the day, watching this show is like an addiction, you get one hit and you just keep coming back for more and more.

hahaha. i was just about to use that addiction quote in my post but then deleted it for some reason in case i had got it wrong...

and yeh dutchy, the presenter's spiel reminds me of something from the Fast Show.

still enjoyable telly i think. don't really like either of those bands but its stil interesting to see lads and lasses working in the studio etc. more interesting that most shite rte have on.

 

[GO]

I watched this last night.Wasn't the worst has to be said.
The presenters a nob.They shoulda got Tim Westwood to do it.
Didn't like the music particularly but I happen to know one of the bands so I voted for 'em and I hope they make a few quid out of it.
Has to be said though,how hard can it be to throw together a "song" with no verse, chorus or in fact a discernible tune/melody or what have you in 12 hours?
Can't be that fucking hard.!baggyyyy

I'd say both of them bands could have done it in half the time if they wanted.

Well you have a point there but I'm thinking more about the added exposure they'll get out of it.Sure they'll be able to charge more gigs for one thing..."As seen on RTE" etc.

P.s.That RTE online player is giftyballs altogether.About time the cunts got something right.

 

[Jelly_Block]

What's wrong with making a few quid ?

IMHO Ireland needs WAY more battle of the band type formats. There are a few reasons.

1) RTE can realy connect with the friends and familys of a few select bands.
2) Battles usually throw up winners and we love winners
3) People need more things to vote for, especially as we have lost trust in the politicians. A vote for a band is a vote for the irish people.
4) Not enough bands on the scene and hopefully this will encourage young lads to pick up an instrument and play it within a group structure, with the best looking lad/lass as the singer.
5) Fabulous route to market for large corporate sponsors Eg Coke, Ben & Jerrys, Dunnes Stores.

 

[MDR]

They should just get the bands to reenact Hagler vs Hearns and we'd all have a laugh.

Text your vote for whose hand gets broken?

Or re-enact Collins v Resto.

 

[lympog]

i'd rather see a re-enactment of michael caruth winning gold at the barcelona olympics

I watched the Infomatics episode. I haven't seen the previous ones. The presenter ain't great but the show was more watchable than I would have thought.

i like when the presenter punches the camera like a boxer to give the editor a better idea of where to cut
