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?

Love her voice and the latest album is fab Smile

Jingleallthejay · 17/12/2012 15:52

have you heard about him standing in for Kurt Cobain at a Nirvana reunion?

He did it last week at the charity gig for the hurricaine that hit newyork I didnt hear what they sang just sir paul head bobbing at the front and Dave phwaorGrohl drumming at the back it was surreal

BOFingSanta · 17/12/2012 15:55

I can see why she was there last night, as she was the flagship singer for the Olympics. She might as well milk it a bit, as with all the over-exposure, she'll be old hat in twelve months.

Might you, I think Adele is hugely over-rated too. Her song for the latest Bond film sounds like a pastiche of all the others. She is to Bond themes what The Rutles were to The Beatles. Worse, probably. Maybe Oasis.

OhDearNigel · 17/12/2012 16:07

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

At least it made a change from the ubiquitous Adele who I cannot stand

have you heard about him standing in for Kurt Cobain at a Nirvana reunion? Yes and my initial thought was what the actual fuck Xmas Grin

Pagwatch · 17/12/2012 16:09

I think she is lovely and talented but I did feel some surprise that it was her again.
Perhaps she had a bogof on when they booked her.

PickledInAPearTree · 17/12/2012 16:30

I didn't realise she stood in for adeje but even so she was on waaaay too much. I was just saying to dp this yesterday. I agree!

showmethetoys · 17/12/2012 16:35

God this thread is bitchy central!

I admit that I did groan when I saw that they were rolling her out yet again, but I dont think you can deny that she is a real talent.

Some of the comments on here about her 'nasal voice' Hmm , the way she dresses, how old she looks and the fact that she dared to perform at the Olympics when she isnt from London (shock horror) are just plain nasty.

Bunbaker · 17/12/2012 16:47

I had never heard of her before the olympics and can't understand all the fuss. I don't think she is that wonderful.

LadyBeagleBaublesandBells · 17/12/2012 17:09

There's rather a lot of 'bitch central' threads around at the moment showmethetoys.
Just read the Duchess of Cambridge presenting an award thread at SPOTY last night.
There's a fine line between having a larf and bitching about other women. And today I really thing many people have gone over it.

Bakingnovice · 17/12/2012 17:15

She's v talented. She's not half naked wearing a dead cow as a head dress. So I kinda like her. But agree that she's everywhere at the moment and my kids find her very dull. She's lost loads of weight though and I do respect the fact that she's not over the top in your face all the time ( albeit in your face at every tv event!!).

MariahScarey · 17/12/2012 17:16

i fekcing LOATHE her - who even IS she?

adele - i hate your big fat honking voice but COME BACK

WildWorld2004 · 17/12/2012 17:21

I am a huge fan of emeli sande's music but when i saw her on tv last night i did think that she is everywhere. However i did think the song went well with the tribute.

Alisvolatpropiis · 17/12/2012 18:08

She is deadly dull. The thing that annoys me is we've been told she's amazing and we must like her. Much like Jessie J who is intolerably overexposed and shit

PickledInAPearTree · 17/12/2012 18:09

Jessie " I'm a artist yeah?" J.

It was all over for me and her after the voice.

EwanHoHoHozami · 17/12/2012 18:19

blardyell if I can't come on MN and have a mild bitch about a public figure wearing unnecessary pencil skirtage then I should hand in my badge.

I like Emeli Sande

Paul McCartney, on the other hand, can kiss my arse

PickledInAPearTree · 17/12/2012 19:29

This thread isn't particularly bitchy IMO however the duchess of Cambridge threads are frequent and nasty!

I also don't think it's relevant she's not from london, but there is no real harm in saying she is styled older than her years.

She is a very attractive & talented lady, but she was just IMO over used at the Olympics.

JingleBellaTheGymnast · 17/12/2012 19:39

Yep, think she's been badly advised, she's really over exposed.

The nerve of the woman - singing at the Olympics and shes not even from London - doesn't she realise London is the centre of the world Xmas Hmm

Im not a big fan but she is very talented. Another one who cant believe the "shes not from London" comment.

BOFingSanta · 17/12/2012 19:55

She seems talented and very nice. I think it's her sheer ubiquity which is giving most people the irrits.

FromEsme · 17/12/2012 19:58

London IS the centre of the world though ;)

JingleBellaTheGymnast · 17/12/2012 20:00

Ubiquity is right, keep expecting to see her looming up from the back seat when I look in the rear view mirror.
