Sam Smith "lI's a shame"

Its a shame............ but what everybody predicted as soon as this policy was announced and some had the nerve to dismiss these thoughts as terfism........

this…

*forgot

Silly me, I forfeit that they’re too old to be talented or relevant. 🤣

I wonder how SS is coping with entering their 30’s? I expect they’ll be suffering from ageism soon, they won’t be happy when much younger people win awards. 😂

As an aside, I was very impressed that the author managed to avoid using any pronouns for Sam Smith throughout the whole article (other than to say Sam Smith uses they/them pronouns at the start).

"It's a shame about women" as he preens in the mirror, patting his hair and admiring his feminine clothes and make up.

I can't remember the exact quote, but they commented once in Burnistoun about somebody's outfit looking like 'the flair o' TK Max'

I'm glad that he seems to have made peace with his weight. He's a beefy bloke and there's nothing wrong with that. It fits with the voice that sounds like air being slowly released from a balloon.

Anyone, who hasn't already and wishes to, please follow the link to sign the petition to strengthen the Equality Act for single sex spaces and single sex care for vulnerable women and girls

Attention seeking wanker. Fuck off, it's your fault.

Twat award more like.

I never felt anything negative or positive before but their moaning during lockdown when they lived in a huge home with all mod cons really irritated me. I have mates who did it alone in a bedsit with no outdoor space at all, worrying about their bills and whether they'd have jobs left so my sympathy was directed to them, not a multimillionaire who had to slum it with a cinema at home.

I personally think SS is a good singer/performer, e.g. the song he did with the funny little German TW last year was excellent, but this whole episode has been a nonsense from start to finish, the very small, very niche, downsides with having distinct M/F categories are so obviously outweighed by their advantages that it's not funny.

SS is an attention seeking twat in any category.

Oh NOW It is a shame.

Got you. 🤔

one marvellously dim columnist who studied the result, scratched his little head and opined: “My view is gender-neutral awards should reserve 50 per cent of nominations for women.”

I thought, be fair, that had to be a deliberate joke. Then I found out it was Owen Jones. Oh dear ....

They could always make it more inclusive by renaming it 'Best Artist Who Either Is Or Is Not Sam Smith Award' - but I'm guessing that would be seen as far too binary.

I nominate Sam Smith for a Brat Award.

Surely the pronouns they/them indicate more than one person, so all NB musicians should just be entered in to the Best Group category? Makes about the same amount of sense.

That made me so mad! It was all down to their wishes and now, no women are nominated as everyone knew would happen.

I wouldn't mind but Sam Smith being nominated just felt like the Brits knew they had to because of their whinging that caused the change in the first place. They've not produced a decent song in years

So many great females are being sidelined, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone who wins will be male. Frankly I think female artists should boycott it but they won't because they'd get cancelled.

Modern music innit? This is why teens have to organise themselves around identity and activism rather than exciting music.

Just a sec. I have to admit I've not heard much of SS's work, but that dreadful James Bond dirge won an Oscar?

Being Gay isn’t speshul enough now, you need some sort of label to show how interesting and different you are apparently. You also need to build your whole personality and career around how truly speshul you are

They're OLD.....

I really can't wait for the current generation of bright young exciting things to hit middle age and decide that actually they haven't ceased to be relevant, become brain dead and really don't feel that they should throw themselves under the feet of the next generation.

Suddenly middle age will become the In Thing and all sparkly glittery with much passion about respect for Life Experience.

I absolutely agree. How dare any man say this. They have no idea.
I have no time for any of this bullshit.

Sam Smith is a prick if ever there was one.

I have no idea what feeling like a woman is either, I just feel like me. Without knowing how it feels like being a man, I have no benchmark to confidently claim I feel like a woman.
