IL DIVO : Reality Check

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:

Quote :

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.

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!

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

Nail on the head Mary Although that "kid" was a grown-up as well And i prefer him to the divo nuts

Like you say,these people can't/won't tell the truth about an act...Most probably they don't want to voice their real opinions in fear to be kicked out of the chosen diva dummy's Truth hurts as they say

Loki...I am sooo sorry....Witches was the wrong word to use.... well actually I really can't use the words that come to mind to describe these *****s.. but we'll settle for Trolls...insulting and all as it is to Trolls everywhere...I kinda feel sorry for Roddy... you are right..misled,misinformed,mistaken etc....but the mob did jump on him when he came bearing good stalking news and seems he's bestest buddies with the very worst of them there... entangleing himself with the real sediment on IDs Forum he was lost from the beginning...poor sap..
OH..BTW...I forgot to mention Mavis Ann Pratt/Mavisimo....I think she referred to us/me as 'riff-raff' in another deleted post.... .....I laughed my arse off when I saw her joining in... looking down her snotty snout and throwing stones when she lives in a glass house.... and seeing as they are all prowlers here here's a word of advice for the Pratt....mind your mouth deary or I will make you and your groupie buddies wish the ground would open up and swallow you....assuming any of you have any shame or dignity grow up you dirty old girl..act your age
Annnnyway......
Mary you reminded me of Mr 'leave Britney alone'...I was going to post the vid but actually it's quite disturbing...and not really funny That's one messed up individual... but there's lots of them about as we know...

I'm very sorry for them to go through this all...BUT...Why the heck telling every possible detail about it in the media? Even publishing a pic of the twins ?

by the way, Daria, what are the news from you?
myself wasn't a lot online cos I'm busy with a log cabin I bought in the Alps... plus pouring rain here, not handy for carrying stuff
enjoy your sunday ya'all[/color]

[/b]

Did you notice that "We are no longer accepting comments to this article" ? Pity...I bet not even 10% of the usual suspects came to word (Pity esp for our entertainment......Luck for Seb and his fam.)

I'm doing good thanks my dear Waiting for lunch to be ready....everyone slept a bit late today but its normal for a sunday Later i'm going over to my aunt and cousin in nearby France Its also pouring here so its best spend drinking coffee and eating cake Other than that i'm getting ready for friday as i'm heading to München/Germany for the oktoberfest

A log cabin! How cool good luck with it

(hugs)

Hello Ladies..It's just me
I've been having computer problems... may be time for a new one....Mr. C had a look at it and it seems to working...for now.
Bridge how is 'our' log cabin coming along.... can you put my bed in a nice cosy spot.. do you have it the way you want it yet....is all your beautiful new furniture in place...? I can't wait to see it...
Daria..How's you chicky...? I read you are off to Germany for the Ocktober Fest... so some serious drinking planned I guess... have a nice time and take good care of yourself hunnybunch
I read the article about Seb and Renee....that's sad to have such a stressful worrying time during pregnancy which she obviously did.. takes all the joy out of it.Anyone who has had a child knows there is always that worry in the back of your mind that there will be problems , the birth itself is traumatic and the babies cry is like music to your ears.....you can only thank God when it all works out and your child is healthy it's such a relief to every parent.
I did notice that the comments were stopped...and I'm not really surprised after the comments on Dotpotter when it was annouced that the girl was pregnant with her twins.....remember the disgusting Diva comments.... I wonder did Seb have to call the Daily Mail and tell them to disable comments....wise decision if he did.
Renee looks great in the pic.....she's very Retro with her style...very 50s and very feminine....lovely naturally pretty girl.. and The Seb seems to adore her...

OH YEAH !!!!!
The Boys in Blue did us proud yesterday....the Sam McGuire Cup came home to Dublin after a loooong time... our county had a Blue Hue for sure...
Don't worry about 'our' cabin being a lil' empty....we'll fill it up in February... you'd better warn your new neighbours... just kidding we'll be good...
Yes I did notice Renee's tattoo on her foot.....it looks like flowers...I guess it would be painful to get on there...not much flesh on your foot.....very boney
I forgot to mention earlier that Senor Carlito has been spotted here in Dublin....in Lily's Bordello to be precise.... cosying up with some young one 21 years his junior Melina somebody or other... she's from some TV show here.....but according to the Paper...again the Daily Mail....she's looking forward to seeing him in November when he comes back here to promote the Album....I wonder what he'll be doing in the meantime... sitting at home twiddleing his thumbs....or not... hope this 'lil' girl is not taking the 'Senor' too seriously....if she's half his age she must be about 21 or 22.....that would be like my daughter going out with him.... I'm trying to imagine Mr. Cs face if our lil' Miss turned up with a man twice her age.... I shouldn't have gone there....I'm feeling a bit yuk now.... What is Carlito up to....

ahhh-- Renee does make Seb smile doesn't she? I love her style- she doesn't mind looking like a woman and a very beautiful woman too!!

As for Carlos- Jaysus!! He needs himself a good cougar his age- she will be ready and willing- and maybe show that man a thing or two about women!

Speaking of ID-- did any of you see Urs in the photos for the new album- Lordhavemercy!!!

ohhh I can picture it
it's about 30 euro for ahemmm... for NOTHING? a secret gift which be revealed soon
let me guess... a red scarf? a keyring with a mini shoe? a special "do your own fernando" hairspray?

Perhaps we should run a competition to see if any members can 'guess' the gift correctly

I got this too....
The heading itself...'Become an Il Divo 'Diva'.....was enough to make me laugh... line myself up with those nut jobs... I don't feckin' think so...
So what do they get...
Preferential treatment over the ordinary fan for an extra 30 Euro....so you have to pay Il Divo/Sony BMG/ Greedy ba**ard Cowell for making a F**king eejit out of you.... and the dim wits will pay it....for what... remeber this 30 Euro is on top of the thousands they already part with traveling the world for a thrill in their knickers and a pat on the head...look at all the ass h*l*s who traveled here in August... WTF is wrong with these women....grown women paying to join a fan club...(isn't that what teenagers do ) paying to be done out of even more money....paying to be called 'A Diva' ......Jaysus they just don't get it do they..they have 'Gullible Gobshyte' written all over them...what these fellas see sitting in the front rows are a bunch of text book desperate stupid air head females gagging for 'it' and that's all it boils down to..sexual fantasy... any buisness man worth his salt can see there's money to be made off the backs of these idiots and will come up with a way to do it...
What Il Divo sees in the front rows are not the 'truest of fans'.... just the dimmest of dimwits'..... and don't they know it....
Personally the last thing I'd want to become is a 'Diva'... I think we'd be too smart and intelligent to qualify...

"Here we go again."

If people don't like what transpires on this forum/website (like this new membership for example), why hang around griping and complaining, making most of the others roll their eyes and shake their heads?

Don't like the way things are handled? The answer is simple, don't sign up for the fan club. Yeah, you have a right to say what's on your mind, just like I'm doing here. But, what gives anyone the right to try and spoil everyone else's time while they try to enjoy the forum? Misery loves company.

I quote something I just read on Twitter: 'Imagine if a new ID fan went to the ID site and read all the whining.'

Janey has explained things very well I think. And I don't believe all the whining in the world is gonna change the way things are handled. IL DIVO is a business.

So I would say... buck up, suck it up, and step up to the plate with the BIG GIRLS...please.

Sandra

Who does she think she is ....f**king mad thing...

Seems someone still has her MOD drawers on and they are in a kinx

I am so sad not to have received an email from Il divo!!!! How ever was I missed?

Well ladies- seems the guys are gearing up full force again- at least the price is cheaper this time, wasn't it $50 last time?

Gotta run- gotta work today-

Hugs!!


Ree

OK, so I got this e-mail too! But, DUH, am I not understanding it correctly. Is it just for the tour, not like the other fee for "platium" membership. Is this on top of that???? I converted mine to US dollars and it is $39.99. Now, is the tour already planned, I mean how do people know if they will even be performing at a place that they can get to. And for people like me, who aren't willing to travel around the world. I guess I just don't get the reason for it. I'm sure the cost of the tickets alone will be outrageous, so why this deal? And does this mean that if I want to go to a concert, I won't be eligible for advanced tickets? Well, call me crazy....(I heard that! ) but I just don't get it! And you know what........
