Hi guys,

I know most people are over the initial shock of Saturday night but I just wanted to say a few things about what the irish people (in general, of course..) think of the whole thing... I know some people were offended by Sharon Osbournes "irish mafia" rant but I think she was dead right. I am from Dublin and I can guarentee the majority of the country agree with her. The Conways should have been gone a long time ago. No one should be in or out of the competition because of where they come from etc. Louis Wally Walsh has made a fool of himself. I cannot stand the Conways. I can tell you all now that there are very VERY few people over here that vote for them. I am irish and don't get me wrong I would love to see an Irish act win but only if they deserve it, the Conways dont!!! Sharon Osbourne was dead right in what she said..good luck Maria!!! Fair play Sharon, Louis...you should be ashamed!! Conways to go!!!!

You joined just to post that.

We only have your word that you're from Dublin (and not from as far west as the Harrow Road ). To be honest if you are from Dublin you should be ashamed of that post.

Is this Irish people in general discounting any Irish people you know? How many Irish people think that the Conways should be treated like this because of a decision Louis Walsh made? Or that Sharon Osbourne has the right to make the plainly offensive remarks that she made?

kinkypinky, you say you and the Irish aren't voting for the Conway Sisters, is this because you are voting en masse for the star of X-Factor - Chico?

You sound like a barrel of laughs. What does living in Dublin have to do with which act you want to win a talent show? Basing a decision on where someone comes from is descrimination.

SHAME.

How is it obvious and why should the poster be ashamed of posting their opinion? What's your problem? If you're not prepatred to back up your statements and accusations don't make them

Why? I am from Ireland and was surprised that the Conways even made it to the later stages of the competition never mind to have lasted this long. I have never and will never vote for them as I think they are rather boring and have no charisma and will never sell a significant amount of records. I also hate the type of singing they do and are too like the Corrs who I also dislike. However for those that were ranting about Maria going and the girls staying well Maria was in the last two.

You still only have Sharon Osbourne's allegation for that, yet it is taken as gospel. I don't understand this perception that Maria had this cast iron right to win the competition, and any votes against her are discriminatory.

I think you are confused. Read the posts from the start.

I'm not at all confused. Sharon Osbourne basically said that there was no reason Louis would have voted for the Conway Sisters except that they were Irish - which is extraordinarily rude to the sisters in itself, but she also couched it in quite offensive language. This idea has been taken up here and taken as though Louis said that he was Irish and therefore voted for an Irish act.

You said that Maria was discriminated against by Louis, I'm saying you have no reason to say that other than spiteful comments by Sharon Osbourne.

I stand by what I said about willow1978's post regardless of who and what it was aimed at.

Since last year, this woman's word has been taken on anything and everything when they are nothing more than, at best, her opinion on people and, at worst, borne out of bitterness and rejection.

Exactly, Sharons reaction and Kate's repitition of it has simply given it more credibility than it deserved, as has been discussed on this page many times there are lots of reasons why Louis made his decision but decisions like this are taken every week without the same outcry, I don't expect irish people to have to apologise or feel ashamed and I find it odd if they do, I didn't feel ashamed to be female when Sharon chose Chenai for that reason, I just thought it was a pretty stupid reason.

Why should Acashoonhay say that someone should be ashamed of a post because of where they live.. basing an opinion on where someone is from is discriminatory.. everyone should know that!!

A very stupid reason, made all the more stupid by the fact that Chenai has not forgiven Sharon for not putting her through last year.
