To be starting to feel the same way about Emile Sande singing at events that I do about Paul McCartney...

She's just been on the Sports Awards now! Don't we have any other talent?

Obviously not. Ugh@Paul McCartney. Yawn@EmileSande. YANBU as totally agree with you.

CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 16/12/2012 22:19

I'm just waiting for those opening bars of Hey Jude...

YABU. I love Emile Sande, her ever evolving transatlantic accent notwithstanding. I am a little sceptical at her claims to be 24 though.

SwedishEdith · 16/12/2012 22:22

Has she been "famous" in a parallel universe somewhere? I've only been aware of her for the last 12 months or so but she's treated as though she's always been famous. Why?

SwedishEdith · 16/12/2012 22:23

24?? Shock

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 16/12/2012 22:25

Yes, who is this person ?

not getting it at all

CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 16/12/2012 22:25

24? Hmm maybe she's hiding her real age beneath her beautiful!

Yanbu.

PumpkinPositive · 16/12/2012 22:26

Just checked - 25. Hmm

YeahBuddy · 16/12/2012 22:30

It amazed me that she featured SO heavily at the Olympic ceremonies when it was meant to be focused on talent from London - she's from Aberdeen!

I don't like her music at all - her songs grate on me!

catkind · 16/12/2012 22:30

Very U, not the same thing at all, SirPaul can sing in tune.

YANBU. She was in the Olympics more than most of the athletes, and I don't understand why.

News to me. I thought it was meant to be a celebration of Britishness. Anyway, doesn't she live in London now?

Mockingcurl · 16/12/2012 22:43

I was told that she featured so heavily at the Olympics as she stood in for Adele at the last minute.

YeahBuddy · 16/12/2012 22:43

PumpkinPositive - I meant that the main focus was London, the majority of the performers were from London a lot of the acts were from London. Dizzee Rascal performed and he is from just down the road from the Olympic village as were some of the other artists who performed racking brain to remember who else was on now and there was that huge part on the NHS that focused a lot on GOSH which is in London. It just seemed strange to me that she played such a HUGE part (she performed about three times didn't she?) and got way more coverage than anyone else and she isn't actually from London.

Does that explain what I meant a bit more?

CatPussRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 16/12/2012 22:45

She was diabolical in the Olympic ceremonies! I'd much rather they had had Adele!

lidlqueen · 16/12/2012 22:49

oh well I suppose she is better than sir paul with his horrible droopy flappy face.

sabbby82 · 16/12/2012 23:01

Totally agree! I so do not get all the fuss over her! She's no adele or beyonce.

Alliwantisaroomsomewhere · 16/12/2012 23:09

I agree. She is dead dull and very boring.

24? My arse!

HildaOgden · 16/12/2012 23:15

I absolutely loved her song 'next to me'...but I am hugely disappointed at the rest of her stuff.

She is,indeed,quite boring.

munchkinmaster · 16/12/2012 23:18

catkin I fear your ears deceive you. Sir Paul would be wise to button it these days. Did you hear him at the Olympics?

AViewfromtheFridge · 16/12/2012 23:21

Hahaha...love the comment about her hiding her real age beneath her beautiful!

catkind · 17/12/2012 14:04

ah, munchkin, no i didn't. i think i'd turned the sound off by then...

WileywithSageStuffing · 17/12/2012 14:16

I saw her at the Royal Albert Hall.

She looks 25 or thereabouts.

And jeez can that girl sing. She was amazing.

I wasn't really a fan before but I am converted now.

Paul McCartney should have stopped a long time ago....
