Why can't we get someone like Katherine Jenkins to sing our Anthem(Ireland)?

Question

if that doesn't get the boys going i dont know what will...

..she's alot of alright!...eh eh...

Answer 1

Got to be honest here.......I like KJ, she is a very talented lady, but much prefer hearing the crowd sing than an opera singer!

A soprano is for opera and the crowd is sporting events!

Answer 2

The way there playing I think they would prefer

Daniel O Donnell like a bunch of  P**fs

Answer 3

NZ wanted Hayley Westenra also ,she sings our anthem like nobody else can, so beautiful , that the French thought it would give the All Blacks an edge,(  as if they need one ) ...so the dipsticks, in control , insisted that all countries have to have recordings ....jerks !

Answer 4

Name a decent Irish national singer that is so talented then?

Answer 5

No No NO!

The crowd need to sing, not some wailing opera singer. Now if she was in a bikini and handing out free beer.. yes. Singing the national anthem nope,

There is nothing like hearing 76 thousand voices singing Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau.Makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck.

No more daft thoughts now. OK?

Answer 6

I spoke to her last night and she said....and I quote..

"it's too late to worry about it now dude"..

Answer 7

I think you must write to the IRC and suggest it...

Its a stunning idea.
