On St. Patrick's Day, Ellen showed a video of the family music group from Ireland called Crystal Swing. She vowed to get them here to perform -- and today they made it! They chatted with Ellen about their hometown and how they got their start, then performed "He Drinks Tequila."
What in the world?! How the hell were they the talking point of Ireland?! I never even heard of them until I came accross them on ellens facebook.. I like the daughter but the other two are soo annoying!! They make irish people out to be living like it's the 1960's, and no offence not everyone watches ellen you'd swear there are only 10 people living in Ireland :/ they think the world revolves around them when most of Ireland hasn't even heard of them :/ and I want to chop that derek guys legs off, he's sooo irritating >:(
Crystal Swing were great, the came and entertained, got everyone going and thats what us paddy's can do very well :)Love the show Ellen.
THIS TRULY IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO IRELAND. THEY ARE MOCKED AT HOME. CASHING IN ON A BACKWARD STEREOTYPE CREATED TO PUT IRISH PEOPLE DOWN. THESE PEOPLE ARE HATED WHERE THEY COME FROM. I FOR ONE AM EMBARRASSED AND WONDER HOW IN THE NAME OF GOD THEY GOT ON SUCH A WELL KNOWN SHOW WHEN WE HAVE SO MUCH PROPER TALENTED BANDS LIKE THE SCRIPT AND U2. WHY ELLEN...... WHY????????????????
O_o
YOU DO NOT SING THAT TO YOUR SIBLING!!!!
And I'm Irish amd I don't hate them, but when I here them or see them, I just cringe
They really were a joke and are not representative of the talent we have in Ireland. The only reason for the popularity of the video on youtube is the cringe factor that occurs when one looks at it.
i thought crystal swing was great, i really enjoyed there music, the song was great in fact i'm trying to get a copy of this song so when we have parties we can enjoy this song "HE DRINKS TEQUIA' kudos to CRYSTAL SWING
ITS true what they say about the irish then A Pack of begrudgers the ones giving out about the crystal swing . There not My kind of Music but i enjoyed them a lot .Why be ashamed of them they entertained all . so get a life moaners !!!! By the way im irish too !!!!!!
Great Fun! Very Talented, you should be proud!!!:-) I wish these kids all the best, they deserve great careers. The world would be a better place if there were more good people like this in it!!!
Emabarressing is not the word for it!!
Ireland has so much talent and these are the clowns we send to the usa to represent us
give me a break!!
first jedward and now these misfits...jeeez
The Mother in Crystal Swing should be very proud to have two of her children performing on stage with her. Maybe some of the comments above from so called 'Irish' would prefer to see her daughter and son falling around the streets at home drunk or worse still stoned on drugs! So if people do not like showband music keep their comments to themselves! Well done Crystal Swing and well done Ellen for having them on your show! They are terrific1
Crystal Swing were great. A breath of fresh air.
I don't exactly favour their type of music but appreciate good performers. I am ashamed of how some Irish people are slagging them off and coming out with nonsense about how they don't represent our musical talents.
If you don't like rap music and see Jay Z or P.Diddy performing, do you then generalise and think the worst of all American artists?
Give them a break please, let's see how many acts get a standing ovation on Ellen's show.

Jesus get over it its a bit of a laugh. Why so worried how were percieved in America, most Americans don't even have passports. No ones suggesting we use them as Irish Ambassadors. Take it as it is,a Joke. Oh by the way Jimmy sometimes i feel thers more Spanish sudents in Cork than Irish and believe it or not im from Midleton and i can safely saw more than a 'few people' have come into contact with native Spanish speakers. Hell I've even met a Mexican.
This is one of the most embarrassing things I have ever seen. What are they like? They have no self-respect at all; the mother was near to licking Ellen's feet! So unbelievably humiliating. For any Americans who are reading this: we Irish are not a nationality of drunkards and twinkley-eyed brainless idiots! This music is generally regarded as extremely dated in Ireland. There are so many fantastic Irish bands who play genuinely great Irish trad music that does not make you squirm in your seats. Absolutely awful. Bloody fantastic band to internationally represent our 'naive little fiddly iddle land of leprauchauns'. Ugh!
