Watch the full episode of The Late Late Show at www.rte.ie/player/ie/show/1025... and see more at www.rte.ie/player/ie/
Can-linn feat. Kasey Smith beat off stiff competition from Patricia Roe, Eoghan Quigg, Andrew Mann and Laura O'Neill to win the right to represent Ireland at the 2014 Eurovision in Denmark this May. Linda Martin was part of the judging panel and Billy McGuinness was mentoring Laura O'Neill with her song 'You Don't Remember Me'.

Billy was dead right. None of these so called talent shows are about actual talent.
Linda Martin tutored jedward months before they appeared on x factor. It's a load of horse manure

[@Ciano56]

The only real entertainment the Late Late has had in quite a while.

[@mrvillian21]

Oh finger wagging Linda with a brain, she really has an opinion of herself, bout time someone cried foul on what was goin on, well done Billy

[@fayemcdonald9922]

Billy is right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jamboreeband]

I love this kind of entertainment you can't beat a live show, if that was recorded we would never see that part it would be taken out, Great crack a pity it didn't last longer......

[@delboy134]

He was right

[@Hayastantzi92]

this will never get old!

[@RandomBoysCousin]

watched this last night and knew, this will be on youtube tomorrow

[@LPR01]

Eurovision should have it's own programme next year, away from latelate show, everyone forgot what it was all about.

[@theresacunningham208]

Watching from Boston... When did the late late turn into the Gerry Springer show ?!!
#3 was the best(cut back on dancing) in my opinion. ..#2 not bad
#5 she's got an amazing voice and talent just not right for enro...her Mentor had a good point and the integrity to voice his concerns. ..Linda Martin came across poorly!
Ireland has a good shot with this song....

[@shamnet]

I agreed with this guy... Neither should be on any panel...

[@ceannscriteach81]

Mental stuff, might start watching rte again

[@Jberm0o0]

Louis laughing away to himself haahhaah

[@caliphsisjoyce4470]

Literaly the only entertaining thing from last nigthts show.......

[@FennessyMusic]

'JERRY, JERRY'

[@conor0044]

For once I actually enjoyed the late late

[@terencef97]

Gerry! Gerry! Gerry! I was waiting on Steve Wilkos to come out and stand between them, what an embarrassment.

[@eileendelany2346]

Linda should have to stay Quit and stayed sitting

[@FootballDaily365]

Irish TV in a nutshell

[@geraldo357789]

In the past Linda sang around the country in bars,ect where there was plenty of rowdy customers. She was well able to perform and everyone was happy and merry.
Europe like the Euro coin is a different scene and as the saying goes "fools dare where angles fear."

[@Jamescreaney]

I'd say Linda Martin would be an animal in the bedroom

[@boyciep]

and linda is a professional???

[@finbarboyle3600]

What a dose that oul one is!

[@williefinn4932]

They use the term `odious`a lot around cavan and the midlands. Billy isn`t really a little man and I`m not sure about `gobshite`. Strictly speaking, it means muck from the mouth.. At least it didn`t come to blows. Ryan would have reffed.

[@globalbusinessinvest]

Linda martin ---- Oh Dear Oh Dear Oh Dear !!!

[@butsy1818]

Seems like all there have lost sight of the Cliffs of Doneen:-) fair play Ryan you stood by the big top:-)

[@aretheymyfeet]

I really don't see why Miss Panti should be defending Louis Walsh so vehemently in all of this...the few weeks since she was on the Saturday Show talking about homophopia have obviously been tough as she looks bloody wrecked there...

[@bernardminogue4330]

WATCHING THIS MADE ME THINK......"I SHOULD MOVE TO CANADA!"#PACKINGMYBAGS

[@thumbtack40]

Whyyyyyyyyyyyy usssssssssssss...

[@14EMCSVideos]

cool your jets guys!!!!!!! we all love ireland an its beatfiul music

[@emmington100]

Such a farce. Linda Martin said later that she didnt get to congratulate the singer for her effort. She should have.done that first before everyone made.a show of themselves

[@nigeldelaney4816]

The hack of her the aul bag

[@mastodon-nj6fc]

Cringeworthy stuff

[@PumpestationVest]

It's really scary when such fighting becomes entertainment. They should take that discussion in privacy instead of doing it in front of an audience and millions of tv-viewers.

[@CelticTopCock]

Brilliant TV. Well done RTÉ. Loved it. That Jimmy yoke is a terrible bitter plonker.

menopause madness

[@johnhenry3518]

Linda Martin did us all proud. She beat all of Europe at singing, back at a time when that meant something. It used to be really special to be Irish- everyone knew who we were.

[@fitzerelli1]

Ireland need to pull out of the eurovision and EU,If we want to retain a shred of dignity.

[@benkilmurray3865]

fair play to you Linda martin you proved him wrong welldone to all the singers on the night

[@benkilmurray3865]
