...to NOT 'get' the absolute love and adoration for.....

[BeckerLleytonNever]

Adele. (only average singer and songs)

Kylie (only 'talent' is wearing as little as possible)

X factor- always the same

The voice

Strictly

Simon Cowell.

TOM jONES -GREAT SONGS, GREAT VOICE BUT A TWUNT (oops, caps lock!!)

Daniel Craig/newer james Bond

Downton

call the midwife

anything big fat gypsy/Essex/chelsera/Geordie/housewives...

Kardashian.

Jose Mourinho (footy fans think hes a god, but hes a mysoginist and bully)

David Bekham- walking tattoo parlour, throwing toys out of pram when he was playing footy, frowning and thinks that's sexy, always showing his bulge, so obviously after a knighthood as if hes the only person whos ever played footy.

I know everyones got different tatses and things, but the worshipping for all the above (and Im sure Ill think of more).....I just don't get it.

anyone else? or am I just an old grouch?

Adele's Hello is such a moany miserable dirge. Voice ok. Previous tunes better than average. I warmed to her when I heard her speaking voice.

Agree with all except call the midwife

I am offended that Daniel Craig is in your list.

He actually deserves far more adoration and acclaim! And I will do the job if no one else wants to.

I do love Ellie Goulding. I assume she should have been on OP's list.

Adele I like her and some of her songs

Kylie She had BC, so did I. I respect the fact she didn't make a fuss about it

X Factor Don't watch it

The Voice Don't watch it

Strictly Don't watch it

Simon Cowell Don't care

Tom Jones Don't care

Daniel Craig Don't care

Downton Don't watch it

call the midwife Don't watch it

anything big fat gypsy/Essex/chelsera/Geordie/housewives... Love them all

Kardashian Don't get it

Jose Mourinho You're wrong. He's great

David Beckham You're wrong and he's not thick.
OK?

I'm with you 100% op

They entertain and inspire people. That's why they're popular.

They are popular because the corporations make them so...they are certainly not the most talented

Mourinho= wanker

Mary Berry. If she was your school friend's mum, you'd think she was nice and never give her a second thought. She's not remarkable.

I don't like people who start threads to list things that other people like but they hate.

I was with you till Call the Midwife. But then I could list 100 things I don't get. But why would I bother? Im sure you don't give a toss what I like.

YABU

You need to focus on the things that bring you joy. (Have you never watched Oprah?)

Merry Christmas!

Totally agree about Daniel Craig by the way..

I don't know much about some of these people. I agree with you about Adele, she's not really my cup of tea.
Kylie , well I agree she's not that talented but I think she's made the most of herself. Some of her records are fun, but no real depth.
Most of the tv programmes you list don't interest me, so I just don't watch them.
Kardashians - the most boring people in the world, IMO. They're mega rich and they're not going to go away.
lostinmiddlemarch how can you say that about Mary? Have you seen the cakes she makes? In my fantasy world Mary is my neighbour and she invites me in for a cuppa and a slice of her lush homemade cake. Every morning .

I like Mary. She explains things so clearly. Just like Delia.

I would not like to cross Mary Berry. She is terrifying.

apart from david beckham i agree

Yes to all except david beckham. He is a very attractive (age appropriate) charming man.

The only one of your list I actively like is Strictly.

I can't find it in me to dislike Kylie. Granted, she's not got the best voice in the world, but she does seem to be a consistently nice woman.

I don't even start to comprehend the popularity of Simon Cowell. I understand that he is talented at whatever it is he does in the music industry - but why is he on TV? No charisma, no watchability, nothing.

I hate it all but I woke up this weekend after having dream sex with someone from an equally loathe some programme you have not mentioned. I t was actually very good but I'm on a brain bleach overdose.

I watched Kylie doing a Christmas show the other night. She really can't sing. I remember thinking, if she was auditioning for X factor she wouldn't get through the first round.

Who was it Pasithea ?

derxa. I can't I'm mortified.

List sounds about right. I think I have a solution though... I don't have a TV, so don't have to put up with most of these.
