Brian McFadden

not really newsworthy, but still amusing...

------------
Brian McFadden: please go away...

By Ian O'Doherty
17 November 2004

Following his nauseating appearance on the Late Late Show, when he desperately tried to convince a sceptical nation that we should all have sympathy for him, Brian McFadden simply refuses to leave us alone.

As greedy for publicity as his appalling ex-wife, McFadden has now turned his attention-seeking radar in the direction of the Church which, he claims, is responsible for abusing him.

Obviously there's an angle here and with the release next week of his single Irish Son, McFadden has been quick to hop on the abuse bandwagon.

McFadden is adamant that he was hit in school, saying "I did personally suffer physical abuse" and that he "suffered the back of their hand three or four times". Maybe we live in an era of compassion fatigue, but since when did feeling the back of a teacher's hand qualify as physical abuse?

McFadden, who once seemed to be the most unaffected of the Westlife boys, has plans to open a cheap recording studio and bizarrely says: "There are so many artists like Patrick Casey and Damian Rice who nobody pays attention to."

Really? Would McFadden actually be referring to Paddy Casey, who is managed by Paul McGuinness, and Damien Rice, whose album O is one of the best-selling Irish albums in years?

McFadden's next song, he says, is called Demons, which is "about a dream I have where no one recognises me". Give it a few months, Brian, give it a few months.

*Shivers up spine* (and not in a good way)

I would like to nominate the McFadden beast for worst single of the year for 'Real to me'

BRIAN MCFADDEN LYRICS

Real To Me

Showbiz dinners and the free champagne,
Men in suits who think they know it all,
No one knows me, but they know my name
That's not Real to Me

Hotel Lobby to the aeroplane,
Another country but they start to look the same
Watch the world behind a window pane
That's not real to me

[Chorus]
When I see my babies run,
When all the madness has been and gone,
I raise my family and live in peace,
Now that's what real to me, real to me

Dying flowers in a dressing room,
A dangerous time to let your head make up it own mind,
Got me thinking that the spirits flown,
That's not real to me

[Chorus]
When I see my babies run,
When all the madness has been and gone,
I raise my family and live in peace,
Now that's what real to me, real to me

Picnics in the garden, and the children they can play
The first day of that summer,
And I laze here all the day,
Then we'll invite the family round and drink some English tea
Then I raise up my finger,
And watch football on T.V.

Now that's what real to me

[Chorus]
When I see my babies run,
When all the madness has been and gone,
I raise my family and live in peace,
Now that's what's real to me, that's what's real to me
Real to me

Wake up you might be dreamin'
Wake up you might be dreamin' now

----------------------------------------------------------

Loving the line 'I raise my family and live in peace', soVERY sincere Brian/ Bryan (however he is spelling his name these days.)

[img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img] poor guy, he really is starved for attention. I didn't really know who he was until last week when he appeared on a dutch talk show to promote his solo cd, but instead he gave masturbation tips!

Daniel · 11-17-2004, 01:11 PM

haha! what a plonker [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

thats it! who didn't get that in school? they didnt teach him to shut up - they should have hit harder.

coreybyrnes · 11-17-2004, 01:14 PM

who the f**k is Brian McFadden? seriously? you don't have to waste your time answering though... that's hilarious... i love when no-names think they are internationally known but really their next-door neighbors don't even know who they are...

#Ian# · 11-17-2004, 03:16 PM

Ian O'Doherty and Brian McFadden (Corey, he used to be in a boy band called Westlife , he wants to be their Robbie Williams now), 2 people I really hate...

Perhaps we could put them in a pit with weapons or something?

administrator · 11-17-2004, 06:29 PM

aw that sounds like a great pit ian! ian o'doherty is such a loser.

sarahukuk · 11-17-2004, 06:52 PM

HiCindy, it is this Bryan/Bryan McFadden , he of the fake fur coat and bling bling gold chain

http://www.brian-mcfadden.com/index04.html

(Sarah, is it true that his name is really spelt Bryan but he spells it 'Brian' to sign autographs as it is quicker [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]) Maybe Damien could just sign his autographs as 'Dam' from now on [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

This is how Brian/Bryan used to look

This just makes me chuckle!!!

Look at the kinda articles they have on his homepage

Brian strips for mag
BRIAN McFADDEN has celebrated his trim new figure and single man status — by stripping off for Cosmopolitan magazine.The ex-WESTLIFE singer will be the glossy magazine’s first nude male centrefold in January. Other big name stars are expected to follow. Brian is photographed in black and white, spread out on a bed. But a magazine source revealed: “Readers won’t be able to see his willy. It has been artistically hidden.” At least it will be the perfect opportunity to see Brian’s flat tummy. He lost 2st in four months on the controversial Atkins diet after being warned by doctors that his boozing and bingeing were wrecking his health and he was risking a heart attack. Estranged missus KERRY will also get a chance to see what she’s been missing since their bitter split in September.

A real musician! [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

Could you see Damo doing that? [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]
