Or am I being lulled by his make-up team and the strange studio lighting on The Voice.

Think I'm getting a bit of a crush Blush

Good point Bishop always a fact that irritates me Hmm

I love this song..

JoffreyBaratheon · 06/02/2016 23:55

I once walked into him in a doorway in the early 1980s. He is so tall!

No Grin

Colour by Numbers was such a good album.

Got it in the loft, on vinyl. Just need a record player. Grin

I once slept in the next bedroom to Boy George. He is beautiful. And as Joffrey says, very tall.

Sparklingbrook · 07/02/2016 00:13

Could you see through the wall Folly? Grin

Follyfoot · 07/02/2016 00:14

Grin Tragically, can only report on his height after bumping into him in the corridor...

I've loved him since I was a teenager! I went to see Culture Club play at Leicester Polytechnic in the early eighties. The tickets were £1.75! That week their first single ' Do you really want to hurt me?' went to No 1!

I also saw BG at Torture Garden ( he was just another clubber, not performing ) in 2002. I really wanted to go up and say hi but I didn't as I didn't know what to say to him. I was also a bit scared he might be horrid to me and then I wouldn't be able to idolise him any more..! Sad

I think Paloma has fucked up her career by doing the Voice. I quite liked her before this. She comes across as a bit of a brainless idiot and her voice is like a 12 year old child!

Sparklingbrook · 07/02/2016 00:22

Grin Folly. He's 6ft tall apparently. Minus hat.

LadyIsabellaWrotham · 07/02/2016 00:24

Yes, and the Mona Lisa was painted on a particularly attractive piece of canvas apparently.

Destinysdaughter · 07/02/2016 00:25

This is a fantastic Youtube video of a song he did with Faithless a few years ago. It's called 'Why go?'

Enjoy!

I love Boy George, have since the 80's but I don't watch The Voice, should I? It's always annoyed me.

ExitPursuedByABear · 07/02/2016 00:29

Seriously?

He makes my flesh crawl.

I turned off the first week and haven't bothered since.

Destinysdaughter · 07/02/2016 00:32

No BG haters on here please, this is a BG appreciation thread! Smile

Vintage45 · 07/02/2016 00:36

Im with Bear, something about him makes me shudder. Why would you have an appreciation thread about him?

Weird Confused

Sparklingbrook · 07/02/2016 00:36

I liked that Destinys. Makes me feel like going out clubbing again. Is is too late?

Sparklingbrook · 07/02/2016 00:37

Hide thread is a very useful function Wink

ExitPursuedByABear · 07/02/2016 00:38

This is AIBU.

Yes.

BG was my first pop star crush in 1983 and I still have a soft spot for him. Glad him and Marilyn are sill mates.

Destinysdaughter · 07/02/2016 00:39

Sparkling sadly yes probably but glad you enjoyed it. Those of us who lived ( and loved) the eighties have got to keep finding ways to keep the love alive! Smile

zen1 · 07/02/2016 00:40

still

DustyMaiden · 07/02/2016 00:40

I think he is Sam Smiths grandpa.

hellsbells99 · 07/02/2016 00:42

I'm with Bear too
