Talk:Daniel O'Donnell

message: I have nearly killed myself laughing at the following:  "Daniel O'Donnell is related to a number of famous Irish comedians, most notably, Aaron O'Donnell and Eddie murphy."

thread_title: Very amusing vandalisation

message: is that actually true? ive never met anyone under 50 who had any regard for him.  Raemie 00:39, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "He has many fans, young and old"

message: "...by far the major part of his fanbase is older women"  I would like to know on what evidence this claim is made, as there is no referencing.  I think it is somewhat unfair on a man with fans both young and mature to claim that his fan-base is made up largely of old women, most of them spinsters, presumably. While it is true that Daniel appeals to those who may not enjoy loud, dirty music, these people are not necessariily old nor female.  Would one expect to read an article about the Rolling Stones stating that their fans are largely men aged over forty? Guv2006 16:47, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree with the above comment, but that is enough about the rolling stones.
Guv2006 is bang on the money. What about Bing Crosby and Glenn Miller? Would it be apporiate to state in their artciles than most of there fans are either above 60 or dead? 64.12.116.14 16:33, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Older Women?

message: The claim that Danny O'Donnell's fans are mainly OAPs is unsubstantiated. Here are some photos which show the audience at one of his concerts:

If anything, I would rate the audience mixed age, but if anyone can provide evidence for a mainly "old" audience - go ahead. Linguini 23:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Long-standing vandalism still polluting this article? 

message: I dont think this should be in the article:
"In several renditions O'Donnell performs for the Late Late Show on RTE1, giggling and laughter can often be heard emanating from sections of the audience. Sound staff have to increase the volume of the music to drown out the laughter as it is so loud, although if one listened carefully to their TV sets they might just about hear the laughter."
I suspect it is some disturbed individuals attempt at vandalism, but even if it were true, it would be a very insignificant piece of information, not worthy of inclusion here.
*I agree, it's simply an immature addition to the page--Theosony (talk) 01:53, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  RTE Show 

message: He has achieved success in both Europe and North America with his mix of country and easy-listening music. O’Donnell primarily appeals to older female audiences, although not exclusively. Reference provided: Scotsman
This cannot be seen as credible. It's simply an article/review without any such substance but the personal opinion of a journalist.--Theosony (talk) 01:52, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  OLDOLDOLD 

message: Long standing, unsourced vandalism, this article needs to be profoundly re-written. Sadly, as a 27 year old male I am unqualified to do this as I have no interest in the man. Are there any blue rinse 65+ widows to hand? Edchilvers (talk) 04:06, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Someones taken a hose to this article

message: I completely disagree with this statement Edchilvers, I think my re-writing of this article before Christmas is enough. I agree that more information could be added, but I think it lives up to Wikipedia's standards in its current form. However, my request to have this page locked from editing has been ignored, as it is subject to constant vandalism.--MaxPride (talk) 18:13, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Disagree

message: The article states, "In 2011, O'Donnell became the first artist to have an album in the UK charts for 24 consecutive weeks.[11]"
While this is what the cited reference says it is plainly incorrect. It is also hard to fathom what the intended statement is.
