I always knew Michael Flatley was a dodgy geezer

[MitzyLeFrouf]

And now he’s confirmed it by agreeing to jig about at Trump’s inauguration ball. Michael must have been way down the list to only have got the call this week. I’d say below Rod, Jane, and Freddy but ahead of Bosco.

The only way I could be persuaded to jig about for that man if I’d just trampled in dog shit and I was able to jig about on his fluffy hair.

Well, may the campy power of his humble Eurovision origins smite Michael down. May his shoes blister and the arse of his pants rip when he's doing a particularly high kick to a fiddle-de-di moment.

I bet Jean Butler always thought he was a complete arsehole.

"Jean Butler apparently couldn't stand Michael Flatley. Hated him."
About halfway through watching Riverdance for the first time, my sister - who I think was 12 or 13 at the time - stated as absolute fact "all the women in that company hate him". I always assumed that she was right.

I read the list on the BBC news site about the other wonderful wonderful celebs who are giving up their careers, I mean time, to perform for the Donald. the only one I had ever heard of is Jon Voight. It sounds like the worst ever Royal Variety Show in history.

Obama had Aretha Franklin singing at his inauguration, and Trump apparently has someone who came second on the X Factor or the Voice or was in Big Brother or something. says it all really.

Stavros Flatley would have been far more entertaining.

How funny would it be if they thought that they had booked Michael Twatley and got the Stavros boys! I am giggling just thinking about that :o:o:o:o

Typically and traditionally American, eh?

So, how many of the remaining Native American nations will be represented?

"The only way I could be persuaded to jig about for that man if I’d just trampled in dog shit and I was able to jig about on his fluffy hair."

I'm dying

This line will be running through my mind for weeks. Thank you OP!!

Look at him holding his belly in !

To be fair Whosafraidofabigduckfart which of us hasn't fallen for a bemulleted jigger in a silk batwing blouse at least once in our lives! 😆

I always disliked him but I feel now like I have a valid reason to veto my grandma's decision to watch Riverdance 72 times every Christmas now. Confirmed wrong'un.

I love that your 12 year old self aspired to look like a middle aged Texan divorcee with addiction issues!

Didn't Jon Voight do a bad thing?

Traditionally American?

No jazz, gospel, zydeco, hip hop, rap, or Native American songs and dances though?

Just Michael Flatley, Marie Osmond, and The Rockettes.

Their view of traditionally American seems to be a bit white, well orange in the case of Trump and Flatley.

Toby Keith had better sing Red Solo Cup and have a Tennessee jug band as his back up to give it that local flavor.

What a fucking gobshite.
My normally surprisingly PC granny used to only have a bad word to say about Flatley and your one from the chipper who would diddle the families out of chips but give extras to the lads she was making eyes at.

She said she was certain he wasn't gay but a look in a back of a spoon might turn him.

My sister just told me that Rebecca Ferguson was asked to sing and said she would if she could sing 'Strange Fruit'. TBH, I hadn't heard of her before, but now I think she's awesome! (X factor winner, apparently)

Mitzy i would love to jig on his hair although i reckon his mums would have been fluffier. Has anyone seen her hair?

Rebecca Ferguson is a good artist but she didnt win the xfactor.

She came in second a few years back.

Reboot, yes I saw Ma Trump's hair. It defies description really.

I did a bit of reading last night after someone said that JB hated MF and indeed she did!

She said in an interview that applause and standing ovations where for all the performers as it was an ensemble piece but he believed that they were all for him. When she was out "faming" him, being more popular with critics and fans, he fucking hated it as in his head he was the star.

Him and DT probably get on like a house on fire as they have similar views on themselves but are not in direct competition!

Ha ha. Very funny post op. Rod, Jane and Freddy.

EatSpam - I love your nan

She said she was certain he wasn't gay but a look in a back of a spoon might turn him.

That is wonderfully tart.
