THE ROSE OF Tralee talent segments have come a long way since simply reciting a poem or whipping off your skirt to reveal a shorter skirt for a spot of one two three, two two three.

Last year alone we had Mardi Gras, fish and Britney Spears in whalesong.

We think we can do even better though. Here’s some inspiration:

1. Father Ted scenes

Whoops!

2. Sarcasm and skulling

Going to be the London rose next year I've decided. I'll answer every question sarcastically and down a pint as my talent #roseoftralee #rot

Can I just enter the Rose of Tralee? My talent is typing "One Direction" faster than my own name...
