Paddy Molloy.
BY SEÁN P. FEENY
LAST NIGHT Glenties singer received a lifeline to make it into this year’s The Voice Of Ireland quarter finals.
One act from each team went through to next week’s show. On Team Jamelia Laura May Lenehan, on Team Dolores Kellie Lewis, On Team Kian Danica Holland and on Team Bressie Jamie Stanton topped the poll and have a place in the next round.
The final and fifth place went to Paddy Molloy on Team Kian. The affable Glenties man received mixed reaction to his performance of The Vamps song Wild at Heart. He received average votes from the coaches which Kian felt was ‘a little harsh’.
While Jamelia said Paddy was ‘like a one-man boy band’ and gave him 7 points, Bressie said ‘I am still waiting for you to make that step up. It was good but not amazing’, giving him 7 points.
Dolores was a little more harsher in her criticism saying ‘I can give or take it. It was showbandy’ and awarding him her now very familiar 6 points.
Mentor Kian definitely didn’t think his Donegal singer deserved to go ‘Home’. “You do bring an energy to stage, you are enjoyable to watch. You have a smile on your face, you are a great singer, harsh scores.”
