Glad I read this thread because we booked tickets last minute and went last night! We had so much fun, I don’t think we stopped dancing once.

Ah that's brilliant! Such a great night out!

Thanks all for your comments on this thread, there was actually a lot of love from many of you for CD, hopefully he realises how appreciated he is by the British public. In the meantime, my three young kids have been picked up from school every day this week by a middle aged woman playinng old garage music at top volume! Peace x

Awww, bless you for believing there is a 'lot of love for Craig David' from 'many people' on this thread. 😂 #deludedmuch

90% of people think You Are Being Unreasonable! 😆

@BlushDiamond

This thread is vomit inducing in it's level of sycophancy.
It reads like an advertisement. 🤮🤮🤮

I'd rather reach up through my own arse and pull all my teeth out, one by one, without anaesthetic than listen to Craig David for ten seconds or look at him, listen to him speak or be in the same room as him.

He is creepy, obnoxious and insincere.

"Craig David all over your boink" is something that legitimately make my gullet crawl up in to my throat instantly. Like nails on a blackboard to me.

Better singer than George Michael, my arse.

100% this. ^

I'd never heard of him. I perused his catalog on Spotify. He sounds like a standard 90s boy band singer - like he could have been in Boyz II Men

I think Cynthia Erivo is something special, but I wouldn't go so far as to say the best vocalist in the UK.

Guavafish1 · 11/02/2025 02:37

Nice voice

Reugny · 08/02/2025 21:57

That's because you saw that "comedian" making fun out of him and ruin CD's career for years.

Show quote history

Or maybe it’s because he’s creepy? The Bo Selecta character was funny not creepy.

I saw a documentary with him and Fern Cotton and the way he treated women was gross.

mrlistersgelfbride · 09/02/2025 19:26

I pretend to like cool music 😂 but Craig David has an amazing voice, seems lovely and is still hot!
I felt so sorry that Bo Selecta laid into him years ago, as a young man that must have been hard to deal with.

I didn't know about that but I never watched Bo Selecta. I think Craig David has a very good voice and seems like a good guy.

Quite. We have been told! By some no marks on mumsnet. The shame! Lols.

If you don't mind, I feel a bit of a rap / scat coming on myself (based on lyrics by Craig David / Tynchy Stryder - Where's your love?)

Where's your love, oh, yeah
Where's it gone?
Where's it gone, babe?
This bad feeling on mumsnet

It's been hard but I have heard that some of you don't like Craig's style
Tryna figure out why you changed what's on your mind
But it seems recently that
Y'acting like it don't matter
Call my boy Tinchy Stryder
Maybe he should just move on to some other fans
He'd be so better off on his own

I could be playing in the US, Ibiza or some cool city
You don't need to pretend you like me it's not that deep see
All loud, we don't ever wanna be leavin'
Without the party's hottie
Wining up, thought I might truly step beside me
But I ain't 'bout to hurt nobody
Ain't 'bout to lose what we got

You need to tell me
Where, where's it gone? Where's it gone?
(Got an old school feelin' again)
Where, where's your love mumsnet? Where's your love?

Why are you getting upset, OP? Did you mean to post in chat, instead?

If you post in AIBU, you should expect to be told YABU and the reasons why.

The New Year Eve before Covid hit, CD did the show in London, you know the fire works thing. What a damp squib. Foreshadowing the year to come.
Also blessed to have seen George Micheal live, voice of an angel.
No comparison.

Oh no @Blisssful10 we aren’t allowed to show any appreciation for an artist we like. He’s creepy and obnoxious. and vomit inducing!!!! We’ve been told! 😂

I will not hear of any more CD slander. As the man himself sings “I’m walking away (from the shit that’s on this thread)

Saw CD in Milton Keynes last night and his voice was of incredible - of angelic perfection. It was incredible to hear him live. I read today that Elton John said in 2013 that he thought CD had the best voice in the UK.

Just can't stop thinking about how good CD sounded last night!

I find him utterly unpleasant to listen to.

MikeTruk · 09/02/2025 21:15

@BlushDiamond this is a very extreme reaction to… Craig David 😂

seriously though… I can’t understand it? Why do you think he’s creepy? Obnoxious?? Insincere?

another poster said he was creepy and that “what’s your flava” confirmed it… what’s wrong with that song? Slightly suggestive lyrics… that’s it? So he’s creepy?

Blisssful10 · 09/02/2025 20:49

It's okay to show enthusiasm for things you like guys! Nothing to be ashamed of. It doesn't make you appear 'simple minded.' I shouldn't have to back myself up by saying Elton John likes CD too so that makes it okay. Even if EJ didn't like CD, and I didn't know he did until after the gig yesterday, I still thought on Friday night that it was the best live singing I had ever heard, and I've been to many many gigs, guys. I used to love indie music and have seen so many indie bands, punk bands, rock bands, pop bands. There was just something about the gig on Friday that touched a part of my brain, as another poster put it so eloquently, that felt like heaven. The end!
