There's a huge advert for her new album at the top of the page. AIBU to not see the point of her?

She lacks expertise or tenacity in any area, just flits from one thing to another and comes out of the woodwork when she needs some cash. I see no talent within her.

Don't buy her album then.

Isetan · 20/08/2017 04:48

And your low opinion of her is worthy of a thread because........

itsbetterthanabox · 20/08/2017 05:17

You mean she acts and sings like many people do? Often it's a requirement of stage school in fact.
I don't get your animosity. Don't buy her album that'll teach her.

WannabeChild · 20/08/2017 05:33

I agree with you OP, I remember watching her on some celebrity TV show years ago and she came across as though she was above everyone else.

When really she's only known for being on Eastenders in the 90s.

whiteroseredrose · 20/08/2017 05:35

So basically she's no worse than a million others on TV!

Tiptoethr0ughthetulips · 20/08/2017 06:15

I agree completely, never liked her. She comes across really fake and insincere to me. Average voice and poor acting ability, I don't know who would actually buy and listen to her album, but then again people buy Jane McDonald's albums.

kateandme · 20/08/2017 06:35

my irk is ia got an email saying she sent me message on twitter after following one of her posts..it was a automatic one telling me about her album.this turned me agasint her.the cheak.

FizzyCherry · 20/08/2017 06:38

Not really a fan, but I don't begrudge her giving it another go, doesn't affect me in any way.
At least she's had some kind of actual career.
I'm personally sick of seeing stories about people who have literally no claim to fame or discernible talent, other than they are desperate to be celebrities.
I don't watch it, but the line up for things like "C"BB always consists of at least two people who are only classed as "celebrities " because they were on another reality show.
Giving people a Brazilian in front of a camera hardly equates to three years at drama school.

IndianaMoleWoman · 20/08/2017 06:39

I'm not a great fan but a least she actually does something, unlike many current celebrities.

Cailleach666 · 20/08/2017 06:44

I think the irritation comes from Mumsnet choice of advert.

Obviously McCutcheon's marketing team have decided to plough marketing assets towards Mumsnet in the hope that we are targets for such a product.
A poor choice on Mumsnets part as it diminishes the Mumsnet product, but I am sure it is lucrative to Mumsnet HQ.

"When really she's only known for being on Eastenders in the 90s."

And getting an Olivier award for her performance at the National Theatre.

If she was working in a different field, living in your street, this kind of petty pointless moaning about a woman doing her job would sound purely bitchy.

123MothergotafleA · 20/08/2017 07:10

Never had anything against her, but I've been annoyed to see her pouting at me on this site over the past few weeks or so.

MissionItsPossible · 20/08/2017 07:10

I think she looks more lost than found in the photo

FizzyCherry · 20/08/2017 07:12

I thought that, Mission. It's not the best advert I ever saw but I just ignore things I'm not bothered about.....

Justgivemesomepeace · 20/08/2017 07:13

She's just trying to make a living. Turn the telly over and don't listen to her music if you don't like her. What's the point of this?

Goingtobeawesome · 20/08/2017 07:20

I think it's funny that some brands have pulled their adverts from here as they don't like the bad language Grin.

Blottie · 20/08/2017 07:37

Why don't you just install an adblocker? Hmm I don't have any adverts on my mn.

Notagainmun · 20/08/2017 07:37

I find her dull and boring

GandolfBold · 20/08/2017 07:41

I thought this thread would be about the odd picture on the advert.

She looks a bit confused.

desertmum · 20/08/2017 07:43

She was on the Radio 4 Saturday morning chat show a few weeks ago and was actually articulate and interesting to listen to. She has had a varied career and at least gives it a go. It's not an album I would buy, but I don't begrudge her for trying. Have to admit I've not actually noticed the ad.

Cailleach666 · 20/08/2017 07:45

Being articulate doesn't make you a good singer.

My OH is very articulate and tone deaf.

BonnesVacances · 20/08/2017 07:48

YANBU. She's also a terrible advert for ME and talks shite about it. Angry

footballmum · 20/08/2017 07:51
