Duffy: Does she ever wear ANYTHING other than a teeny strapless black dress, and other rants....

I managed to get through most of last year without having any feelings, good or bad, towards Duffy. Had heard her songs on the radio a few times, saw a picture of her once or twice, and that was pretty much it.

Over the past month however she seems to have been on TV non-stop: TOTP, SCD etc etc, and then last night on Jools Holland. And every time she has been wearing that stooopid dress (it is possible they are different LBDs but all are v short and strapless.
She, her dress, and those ridiculous arm movements to 'Mercy' make me want to throw things at the television.

Please tell me I am not alone.

I think someone should have told her that dress on JH was doing her and her legs no favours whatsoever.

bobsyouruncle · 01/01/2009 11:38

you are not alone, her voice irritates me no end too.

chequersandroastedchestnuts · 01/01/2009 11:39

My Dad said she was fat wtf?

WilfSell · 01/01/2009 12:07

If I had been in the room, I think I might have run over just to punch her at the Hootenanny.

So affected, so dead behind the eyes, so lacking in her squeaky scratchy voice, so looking like her stiff little dolly affectations charms are all she has. While meanwhile the 'proper' voices of Kelly and Adele just get on with the singing.

Hate her.

Dreadful.

notnowplease · 01/01/2009 12:40

same songs as last nye too she has been badly advised.whatever happened t the bed haired 60s vintage teenager from wales now looks lke a hooker

Dragonbrandybutter · 01/01/2009 12:44

is she a teenager? she looks 40.

themoon66 · 01/01/2009 12:49

JH was not as good last night as previous NYEs. Time they killed it off. Lenny Henry was embarrassing. And who was that bloke that just said 'hootanany' in ever changing stupid voices to every question? Cringe.

Tn0g · 01/01/2009 12:51

God he was awful, Al Murray I think...can't stand him.

Duffy looked chunky.

Lenny Henry is such a tit.

God, I'm awful grumpy this morning...afternoon whatever it is...

Dragonbrandybutter · 01/01/2009 13:05

i'm a fan of adele but she looked like she hadn't rehearsed and had to read the words. bad song choice (that's what they'd say on xfactor).
parp.

Countingtheflocksbynight · 01/01/2009 13:11

can't stand the way Duffy sings through her nose

  • totally lacking in originality too

give me Annie Lennox any time

themoon66 · 01/01/2009 13:22

Annie Lennox's green dress..... argh... me and DH decided she must have worn it for a bet.

mosschops30 · 01/01/2009 13:25

DH hates her with a passion! Im not fussed either, something very unlikeable about that woman, ditto Alexandra Burke

BBBee · 01/01/2009 13:27

i like duffy

Dragonbrandybutter · 01/01/2009 13:37

oh i'd forgotten about the green dress.
hideous

WalkinginWaynettaWonderland · 01/01/2009 17:18

I'd forgotten about Adele having to read the words for that song.....quite crapola really, especially if you consider JH was playing every tune 'blind' - I know he had the music on the piano, but he always put his mic on top of it (nearly slipped in a 'k' at the end of mic...now that would have been funny!!)

Duffy - I just dont get it.
Lenny HEnry made such an arse of himself last night.
I bet he treid it on with Duffy after the cameras stopped rolling.
And Lily Allen is so avergae - loved her dress though

higgle · 01/01/2009 18:55

As DS1 pointed out to me - Lenny Henry doesn't seem to have been on television since last years Hootenanny. The whole programme was a huge disapointment - Annie Lennox could have had some better songs and quite agreee about the awful dress. The "celebrity audience" were total idiots - do they get paid for going along? presume so.

daftpunk · 01/01/2009 18:56

i think she's great..

pinkteddy · 01/01/2009 18:59

Martha Reeves - thought Duffy was fab in comparison! Agree about the arm movements though.

What was Al Murray up to?? - he looked pissed as a fart and seemed to spend most of the time flirting with Duffy too. Prob old enough to be her Dad!

mrsmaidamess · 01/01/2009 19:08

Oh gawd, Annie Lennox...she is sooo in my most overrated singers list of the past 20 years. What was she doing last night? It sounded like a cat peing on a dustbin lid.

mousymum · 01/01/2009 19:08

I thought it was so nice that somebody who wasn't super super skinny was wearing a short dress.I thought Duffy looked nice;she has a lovely figure.It would be boring if everyone was Kate moss.

mrsmaidamess · 01/01/2009 19:08

peeing
