Goodnight New York. Stay safe London. Everyone visualize the end of the rioting. Maybe with enough positive energy...it just might work.

Now why didn't the Police think of that....

...I watched that poor man whose son was killed talking on the news and pleading with people to stop....my heart went out to him....

It would take a person to have a hard heart, not to be moved by that poor man. Every parents nightmare....to be burying a child. It wasn't even a "clean death" as we call it here. No illness or unavoidable accident. Just mown down in the street
There are serious social issues needed to be addressed here. Lessons in accountability and breakdown in values. "Honour" is an outdated word now, it seems...............

As for David Millar and his "positive energy"? What the hell is he on?
David....sit down and take a minute, for you have completely lost the run of yourself, you fool

Maybe SJ took this pic....she likes taking pics for the chicks....and interacting with them.... but then she could be collecting some fans for herself in the process assuming she's a good business woman....shrewd....very shrewd...
Personally I thought Davids 'positive enrgy' statement was a bit frivilous considering the severity of the situation....but if that's how he thinks....wellll.... I'm sure postiive energy and thinking has it's benefits....but when lawless thugs are running wild maybe a little less conversation and a little more action works better....

I agree Colleen- Seems David and all his positive energy does need a little less talk- I am sure there are many folks that have had changed lives with positive energy but as for controlling situations such as in London, not too sure on that one-

Love the caption Bridge-

I'm going to be singing that all day now. Thanks Coll
As for the pic? I actually like it. The Oors looks very yum in it

I might just stick a flake in his cone. God knows, there'll be enough flakes standing around

I think it's a nice pic too....as pics go....
Seb looks a lil' bewildered... and not ready to pose.... Carlos looks like Carlos...David looks like David and Urs looks scrum-diddley-umtious....I tell you what I've notced about the Swiss Bliss....he sure knows how to wear a suit...and a pair of jeans.... and I like that he keeps himself very quiet apart from his job as a member of Il Divo when the promo time comes....he's all mysterious and aloof....as always....but it serves him well...

Can I just say, as someone staying on a street in London where a gang of kids tried to smash their way into PC World the other night , David's thoughts of "positive energy" are to put it mildly, utterly condescending and out of touch It's going to take a sh*tload more than "positive energy" to sort out the mess the current (and previous) government have made of society here.....

Just my two pennies worth......

And as someone who comes from a society where people took to the streets...in a peaceful civil rights march....to state that everyone was entitiled to equal rights, votes (for there was no "one man, one vote" here), decent housing, education and equality for all, the people here see just what went wrong. Along with the coal-miners and steel-workers in britian, we bore the brunt of Thatcherism and all its evil.
What these lunatics did was wrong. Very wrong..... but everyone needs to look to what the catalyst was and see what triggered it.
Feral Capitalism.....The "West" bought into it and look where it got us.

Hi ladies.!!!!

How do you doing??? how was the crazy fan invasion on Ireland???

I was really busy...my dad finally had his surgery (thanks god) on August 18th and he is recoveriing in home very well since last monday...it was a prostatic surgery and before that he had a biopsy and there are not signs of cancer. We are really happy...he is missing to go to swim but he has to wait for a few time.

So...how is everything?

I was reading that you can pre-order the new CD on Il Divo store...but of course there are some surprises

if I want to order this to my country (in america) the cost will be

Subtotal $109.45
VAT $23.55

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this a joke??? sorry but I´m going to wait until de CD -DVD is launch in my country....and that photobook...what kind of pictures will be?? new? old? the same pictures of the concerts??? If I want the DVD I need to buy all the set???
I can buy a lot of beautiful things with that money....maybe I´m not going to buy de CD...probably will be my christmas gift

Ups..time to go...a storm is coming

Have a great weekend!!!

Hi Emily
can't believe the cost... maybe some people will grab the CD/DVD and pass free copies to their friends, who knows?
I've heard it can happen... it's such a pain cos artists are getting poorer then

Hi Bridge...well...I´m not really interested on the DVD...but I´m really surprised about the cost....someone in the Il divo team needs to read the news...there is a global recession...they think that all of us are going to run and use the credit card with every Il divo product as the "loyal fans use to do it"...naaaa....forget it!!!!

Hi Emily..
That is great news for you Dad and your family...what a relief for you all..I wish a speedy recovery to you father..
as for the box set....£80 don't even know what that is in Euro but wouldn't be bothered finding out either... as I won't be buying it.... I could never understand this 'pre booking' thing.... why not just wait until it arrives in the shops...
I'm sure lots of the Diva Fools will buy it as you can see by the recent feckin' eejit invasion of this country from far and wide that the 'dillusional ones' have more money than sense....and now they are all living on beans on toast saving up for the next tour.....I wonder how it feels for Il Divo to come on stage and know that their front rows are full of mentally deficient horny old boots ....not very complimentary really...but I guess money is money....and these guys are more than ready and willing to take it.... and they'll gladly give them a thrill in their knickers... it costs these men nothing...
as for the 'Free' downloads Bridge....that's awful...my heart bleeds for the artists.....but 'c'est la vie'...

Ahh, I can't laugh so hard because I start to coughing...
155 american dollars? Well, that should be 640 of my exchange...
Oh dear, here comes the cough again...
Na, I'm done with this. And they wonder why the "music" piracy is so common...

I'm not sure ID will suffer piracy ... 1st their fans are able to starve for buying their products,
and 2nd they are not famous all over the world, I mean, they are, but not like BEP or Beyoncé or Gaga...

Too true the Divas will pay whatever is asked.... that's why the showsget more and more expensive...the management know they have a captive audience in the stalkers and will charge whatever they want for front row seats and Melt and Greets.... and the 'hard core' nuts don't just go to one show or one M&G....they go to them night after night... making fools of themselves over and over again... Look at all the eejits who bought Orangary tickets for Killruddery House in the 'hope' these fellas would show up.... sure these 'thick chicks' will pay what ever is asked ..but the smart credible fan won't...maybe all ID will be left with is the half wits....most people know when they are being ripped off and taken advantage of.....the dim wit however...

A demented diva and her money are soon parted.

Now ask me if I bothered ummm, no, serves them right

Talking of cash cows, found this:



Wonder if it was a 'cash' cow looking for new clobber to wear to the next stalking series of concerts

Answers onna postcard to............................................

I am watching America's Got Talent. I haven't watched it at all the year, but I thought I'd like to see ID perform. I figured it was the only time I will get to see them this time around. Was wondering why they would come all the way to LA for this show and then I realized the Executive producer is Simon Cowell.
Well........They sang "Wicked Game" or some title like that since I am not up on the new CD and I have to say it sounded like all the other songs they have sung in the past. I really didn't care for it. No offense to anyone, but I think they would have gotten a better response if they sang something in English. But sorry, it was just same old, same old. And maybe they just flew in, but it didn't seem very energenic. Sorry, it bored me. I dvr'd it, but..............................

oh Sidney! I know-- I did too, but haven't bothered to watch it- from what I read it is the same ole same ole They are not appealing to me at all this time around Funny, I just don't seem to give a rat's....... I am tired of all the hoopla with them. I am actually kinda glad here that we are not all gushing like the raving loonies over on the ole OF over them (actually, I haven't been there in a while,) but I have Seb on facebook and Il divo fan page I think I would be best to just unfriend- I am sick of them! I'm guessing I lost my Diva status

Hello yew two
Its uncanny how alike we all are Last night, I watched the ID performance on Cowells new gameshow and even though I LOVE their voices, it was nothing fresh and new for me The vid came up on my facebook page and my youngest came in to listen too.....then asked me if I fancied listening to some Thin Lizzy he was playing in his room
There is no denying their talent and they will continue to be my favourite live performers but the whole bullshit that is posted by their manic, emotionally retarded stalkers and blind cries of "Yes!yes!yes! You're so fabulous" is stomach churning.

Il Divos voices and stage presence is stunning...thats undeniable...but dare I say it, I found it boring

I never watched it, had no intention of doing so.

They are certainly extremely talented, no denying that, to watch live are nothing short of spectacular, but oh, how I wish they could sing something new, written for them instead of covers all the time.

Unlike the demented devoted diva's though, if I don't like one of the songs they produce, I reserve the right to say so, though according to Roddy:

Roddy Moynihan
Bullying, sly, cunning and cowardly comments are the norm on your Open Irish Bar website aren't they? not just about people who go to concerts but about Il Divo too (will i post the link)?? Anyway, just to let you and your comrades know, posts were deleted, mine included, as it's really a very bad idea to "stoop to YOUR level". So comment away, your passive aggressive TAUNTS (for which you are very well known), will no longer be replied to..... sweet dreams.

According to him, it would appear we are not allowed to say we don't like certain song choices, though how that can be classed as bullying, sly, cunning, cowardly etc, I haven't the faintest idea

We can't all be arse lickers saying we like that which we don't, some of us would rather the group know, that way, they get HONEST opinions, so Roddy, you carry on being one of the Il Divo can do no wrong brigade, a true, divoted diva,you never know, one day, you might just become a legend in your own lunchbox if you ever manage to stop kissing Il Divo's collective backsides.

Who is Mr R. Moynihan??
I never heard of him... but I find his post really harsh and unfair
is he a ID fan? the cock in the hen house? he should have learnt proper manners (or maybe he wants to catch a hen )

Good grief Loki- what did you do to make him so angry?

Roddy- as the Irish bar was created by us, for us, Get a life! I don't seem to remember any specific quarrel with you, besides opening your mouth and announcing the Irish concert Which any good diva of the sisterhood would have eventually sniffed it out but as we have said all along, if you don't like us, don't come and read what we have to say.
I promise and swear, we don't invite folks here- cause it always leads to and . We had enough of it on the ole OF. stick around and don't kiss all the old girls arses and you too will see what we are referring to.

Ah well- good day all- things to do, people to see, money to make!


Ree

Un-f***in' believable!!!!!
Loki, where did this person post this outrageous comment??
Well, Roddy, How dare you say that I cannot post what I feel about "Anything"!!!!! I don't know where you are from or who the hell you think you are, but did you never hear of "Freedom of Speech"? I have been a fan long before you came into the picture and if I feel that any one of their performances "stunk", I very well will say so. Never had a taste for ass-kissing, maybe you do, but don't you ever say that I can't say what I feel. And since our posts "will no longer be replied" Just go away, shuuuu, little person that you are. I'd say sweet dreams back, but I really wouldn't mean it.

Actually Ladies that post from Roddy Moynihan was a directed to me...after a lil' verbal altercation between me and 'them'....the Diva Mafioso....I called them sly,cunning and cowardly because they kept posting very abusive comments and then deleting them....I guess they thought twice about showing their less than sugary side...thiswas all as a result of me saying I'd be mortified if a group knew me well enough to call my name out from the stage.... I would feel like it was time I had a lil' chat with myself and recognise my stalking tendancies and then pay a visit to my family doctor to seek help...they didn't like that as they don't like to be given a dose of reality or any attention drawn to the 'issues' they have... and so ensued a barrage of abuse and venting of their hatred towards me/us... much of which has been deleted.....but I would say that Mary Russell deleting her comments was a very good idea...faaaaar too much information for what I guess is a fan site.....and completley irrelevant to what was being discussed...
They were all fairly abusive but the winner was that NUT Margarethe Diva... now she is scary
and Roddy...poor Roddy...it's not a case of 'who' he is but who he 'thinks' he is....the diva Knight in Shining Armour ?...or just a gullible fool caught up in the Diva Cult... who knows and really who cares but if the saying 'like' goes to 'like' is true...then he's where he belongs..up to his arse in lunatics and lovin' it....they've made him feel so welcome...really he should thank us for putting manners on these Harpies and teaching them how to behave when they visit a foreign country in particular to the peoplewho live there..otherwise he's be known as 'Paddy' not Roddy....say thanks Mr. Moynihan.. We've taught these witches a long hard lesson that you and other Irish fans are benifitting from... at least be grateful...

Now then, Miss Colleen,

Please, please, please, do not use the term witches in the same sentance as the delusional demented Diva's as a description, I find it insulting to say the very least, I would call them trolls, however, that insulting trolls the world over too

As to Roddy he just another wannabe, he wannabe in the diva sisterhood and from his comments, he obviously fits right in, dontcha think

This Roddy remindsme to that sick/sad kid that was known for his vid on youtube while crying and saying "leave Britney alone"... that's pathetic (the kid, not his "man").
About this:

Quote :

not just about people who go to concerts but about Il Divo too

I wonder if Roddy never made a review/criticized a movie, sport game, theater play, or even a concert. Enjoy a concert is not only about the singers/group, but also about the rest of the audience's behavior. Or you never heard/said a comment like "Yes, it was great, but by my side was a crazy lady screaming..."

You know? All of the girls here can say the same about the Official Forum. In differents moments and matters, our posts were deleted and even our accounts. In that moment we were very polite, now simply .

I can't understand why some people thinks that they can say whatever they want in the worst and insulting way, and get mad when they see that all their behavior have consecuences, like in real life
