Michael Flattely apperance at the 2009 Irish Dance World Championships

[BreanneChyeah]

you mean Michael Flatley ?

[ariedor]

So many people dislike him, and yes, he's got an enormous ego, but he walks the walk. Held the world record for most taps in a second, and as for not having more famous Irish dancers, besides him who the hell else is there known by the general public? How many Chinese erhu players do you know? Or Mongolian throat singers. As if Irish dancing is in the mainstream of pop consciousness. Sha, right.

Michael donates the majority of the awards for these dancers. I would like to say thank you to him for that. The awards are very expensive.

[tradguitarplaya]

Dude its not about you!!get over yourself!!present the bloody thing already!

[rinceresource]

it's not about him? well, no, it's not, but i can tell you this. most of the kids and lots of the teachers present, wouldn't be there without his contributions. like him or not, irish dance wouldn't be what it is now without him.

[MarmarisGal]

cant believe i missed him ... Dean Crouch which was good enough but to see the 'star of irish dancing' aghhh ... maybe next time ha x

[dmgenthe]

turning down that second or third beer at parties..... (5:00). I wasn't expecting that.... My dd misses out on birthday parties but is way too young to drink. Or maybe he was talking to the parents.

[mairead027]
