I will say it. Jamie Oliver can't cook.

Now you are resorting to trying to guilt me out. Give over.

No, I was explaining why I committed the truly heinous crime of using emojis. You don't really strike me as the type to feel guilt or empathy, so I wouldn'thave bothered trying to make you feel either.

This thread has taken a truly weird turn.

Best not forget

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I missed a couple off my list:
Stacey Solomon
Stacey Dooley

Yes to Scott Mills, he is so annoying the mention of his name just makes me angry! How can some people be so successful without any talent!

Mitchumforthewin · 12/05/2023 22:06

Not only do I agree Paul McCartney is overrated, but the Beatles in general. Of their time, and mostly liked by old people cos of nostalgia. A lot of their songs are crap.
And no, this doesn’t make me ‘thick’ btw. Trying to make yourself sound big and clever because you like old people music must make you feel so worthy - well done 👏🙄

I agree. PM is clearly not a genius, and to suggest he is commensurate with the likes of Mozart, etc is ludicrous

Came for the Jamie Oliver starter, stayed for the Beatles / Paul McCartney handbags.

What a thread this is. 😀

Quite a few.

Adele and Ed Sheeran... Both decent, but nowhere NEAR the amazing talent they are promoted as.

Coldplay. YAWN.

U2. YAWN again.

Helen Skelton. Dull as fuck. Always has to talk about ALL the countries she has visited.

Obvs Holly and Phil. Overrated and sooo past their sellby date.

Maya Jama. Bland and dull presenter, race baity, and LOVES herself.

Emma Watson. One trick pony. Average actress and annoyingly woke.

Katy Perry. Decent tunes and nice lass, but CANNOT SING. Her live 'singing' is diabolical.

Nikki Minaj and Cardi B. Utter drivel from both of them.

Gal Gadot. Gorgeous. Cannot act.

Diversity - Dance Troupe. Same shit different Day.

Cheryl (formerly Girls Aloud.) Cannot sing for shit. Picked purely for her pretty face.

Agree about Alicia Dixon. Pretty Girl formerly from a girlband who got VERY lucky.

Everyone on TOWIE, Made In Chelsea, Geordie Shore, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. ZERO talent.

Stacey Solomon. Was an OK singer on X factor. Still overrated. Also quite annoying Used to like her but have gone off her a bit.

As for Beyonce, I think she is actually very good so am baffled by her being here, and also Taylor Swift. Love them both. Also love Amanda Holden, and she is quite talented. Good actress and singer too. I LOVE And & Dec too!

As for David Attenborough being overrated. WTAF? He is a GOD!

Each to their own.

We were separated at birth, I salute you.

I'd add a few more, the Beckhams dull, unattractive and the nepo kids can gtf. All other nepo kids, James Corden.. Obv, Idris Elba... terrible actor, David Walliams.....greasy.. shudder, Eddie Izzard, Orange Joe Swash, reality stars/influencers, all Tory politicians, Ant and Dec.. Why, why, why.....

Fucking hell.... Its turned very serious and grabby. Paul McCartney is a bloody genius BTW and James Cordon is a fucking cnut.

I agree PMc is overrated and, not only am I old but I am also from Liverpool!
I'll add to my list:
Alison Hammond
Gemma Collins
Ant & Dec
Claudia Winkleman and all the other nepo babies
Jeremy Vine
Jamie Oliver
...and I could go on!

Anyone who thinks Paul McCartney is an ‘overrated celebrity’ is thick, sorry.

McCartney is a genius. His music not be to everyone’s taste, but he is up there with Mozart and Beethoven. His music will still be played 200 years from now. Putting him on a list with Ant and Dec makes you look seriously stupid, @HowDoYouDoWhatYouDoToMeIWishIKnew .

Show quote history

"up there with Beethoven and Mozart". Er, no. Not even remotely close.

And not only is he a genius songwriter, he is widely regarded (by nearly everyone in the world who is not on Mumsnet), as one of the best vocalists in rock music history:

lasciviousoldram · 12/05/2023 23:54

Just to add my two penn'orth in... Paul McCartney is most definitely overrated. I will give him Hey Jude as it's a catchy song. Apart from that it's a bit meh.

IceStationHorse · 12/05/2023 23:56

Amanda Holden
Philip Schofield
Tess Daly
Claudia

LuluBlakey1 · 13/05/2023 00:02

I could write a very long list, including anyone who appears on Loose Women, who was born a Kardashion/Jenner, who is a WAG, anyone from a Reality TV programme, Kerry Katona, Daniella Westbook, Katie Price, all of Katie Price and Kerry Katona's ex-partners, Rochelle Humes, Allison Hammond, anyone who is a celeb only because their parents are celebs, but most irritating of all Stacey Solomon.

LuluBlakey1 · 13/05/2023 00:03

And Tess Daley and Vernon Kay- both talentless and professional northerners.

Firebird83 · 13/05/2023 00:20

Stephen Fry - people act like he’s a genius
David Williams - unfunny and creepy

Batiqueattic · 13/05/2023 00:28

Frankie Boyle
Eddie Izzard
Emma Watson
Daniel Ratcliffe
Stacey Dooley
Victoria Coren-Mitchell
Giles Coren
Tess Daly
Rob Beckett
