Much is made on here by some of the power of the regional vote e.g. mcmanus, rhyddian etc etc. Now that Ireland have the vote and given twitter shows Irish people of all ages seem to adore Mary what difference, if any, will this make to the final outcome?

Makes her a 1.8 shot

irish vote seems to be overrated on here imo, in the early stages anyway.
|
|
By:
Big big plus for her obviously. Irish very patriotic and she's pretty good too!
|
|
By:
As many voters as Scotland, with a new novelty of being able to vote, plus a decent person to vote for
It has to help |
|
By:
Will get a lot of support from the Scots too
|
|
By:
You jesting fll?
Underrated I'd say Gym. I really can see entire nation getting behind her and if so game over. |
|
By:
Lou has the more sensible answer.
The Irish kid in One Direction will also help their vote. |
|
By:
Irish vote very crucial to Mary's chances I'd have thought...
Though not quite sure how some posters on here thought that Storm's apparent Scottish heritage would help him at all! |
|
By:
irish vote will without doubt help, but like i've said, i do think it's being overstated.
|
|
By:
Scots seemed embarrassed by Storm according to twitter as some of his worst critics were from there. Mary is striking a chord. Lots of tweets about trouble voting on 02 etc but they are all perservering.
Vote early vote often [;)] |

there may be something in this.... |
|
By:
I think they we're only hoping it would keep him out of the bottom 1 dizzy. lol
The regions are stupid enough to vote for duffers, but they love to get behind good candidates |
|
By:
aren't*
|
|
By:
No chance whatsoever.
|
|
By:
Has anyone stated it?
I guess we could try some maths, but it's rather late. We'd need the number who voted in last years final. The number of people in Ireland who watch. The number who vote. And the number who would vote patriotically |
|
By:
Without the Irish angle I would agree unlikely to win irishone but its a variable that's new so difficult to read.
|
|
By:
TV3 did report the lines were jammed and also lots of reports of people phoning up to unblock premium rate numbers so they can vote on XF.
Well that's what they tell the wife anyway. |
|
By:
And there are pictures of radio staion staff with vote Mary t shirts and banners. As above she's an underdog with some talent..Ireland love that.
If you want to see for yourself go to twitter advanced search and type in Mary 150 miles from Dublin. |
|
By:
fll - spot on. for what it's worth, here's my view:
number of people in ireland who watch = about same relative percentage-wise to uk, ish.... number who vote = nobody knows, but i don't see how this would be significantly higher than the uk. number who vote patriotically = very very interesting here. i know people who would vote for mary in the final for being irish, i also know people who would vote for their fav ahead of mary in the final, and i know also know people who wouldn't vote. i think the patriotic vote would get bigger as the series goes on. |
|
By:
Novelty factor of voting plus a live runner means a higher % of voters than here methinks.
Bejesus it'll be Dana and Johnny Logan all over again |

hahahahaha!!!! hold me now, don't cry.... |
|
By:
Yep, if she makes the final and is in with a shout the thought of an Irish win in the one of the biggest British TV shows, would surely be a compelling notion to many Irish.
|
|
By:
..and as others have said, she's very good at what she does and very likeable. So a winner they'd be proud of.
|
|
By:
Can anyone get the final voting figures from last year or was it all just %'s? Don't recall hard data unless leaked in Star.
Ah Eurovision; remember as a kid with my cassette taping the songs and playing till my ears bled to have a bet. |
|
By:
Getting very backable on here again too.
So many doubters around it seems |
|
By:
The number of votes over the series was definitely released.
1.5 - 2M votes in the final, rings a bell, but I could be way off. |
|
By:
fll - she doesn't need to be a winner to be proud of to win votes, she'll get irish votes anyway. being a nice woman helps of course.
the oul ones will like her anyway, whether they vote pre-final or not, i'm unsure. the young girls will vote for one direction, HOWEVER if if it gets to the final, some of them will vote for mary in a patriotic vote. not all though. |
|
By:
Has been 10m in final, so very much doubt it has dipped that low?
|
|
By:
regular 500k in early rounds
|
|
By:
My memory is that it was quite a bit more than that.
|
|
By:
Oh, more than that.
16M over the entire series in 2008, so 4-5M in the final. |
|
By:
Half a million watched the final in 2008, in Ireland and they couldn't vote then
TV3 ends the year with three consecutive days of record ratings. On Saturday 13th December 2008, TV3 was the most watched station in Ireland with thousands of viewers tuning in to watch the final of The X Factor. This major event was watched by 523,000 viewers with over 40% of Adults15-34 tuning in. |

All glumly watching Cowell shaft Eggy
 |
|
By:
10m in last year's final according to wiki. That means 6.1m for Joe. Now I need to factor in Irish vote!
By the way who had 5/6 15m or more viewers? 20m last years final or is 5/6 only the heats? |
|
By:
If they could ahve Eggnog may have won
 |
|
By:
523,000 is a smaller proportion than the uk for the final.
i don't see why that would increase significantly for there being a live irish runner - you either like this sh!te or not. |
|
By:
rubbish Papa imho
|
|
By:
yep, surely not being able to vote in a show like this is a big turn off for many.
We could see the revenge of the eggnog! |
|
By:
forsooth Lord Cowell, thy Eggnog encompasses your doom muhahahaha |
