David Merriman

(nickname Dotsy)

Age: 37

From: Portmarnock, Co. Dublin

Blind Audition Song: Wicked Game - Chris Isaak

About: David's favourite film is 'The Shawshank Redemption' because it gives him hope, and the first single he ever bought was Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'. David once drunkenly pretended to be Irish fighter John Duddy the night before he fought in Texas - he spent the night getting shout outs from the DJ and signing autographs!
