To be thoroughly bewildered by the success of Chris De Burgh?

Just watching him being interviewed by Aled on Weekend and now performing live.

I have always found him to be thoroughly unattractive in a slimy creepy kind of way, he has zero charisma, his voice is weak and warbly and really not pleasant to listen to and his song writing is beyond dull.

Yet he's unbelievably rich and successful and on his 21st album.

Confused

Who buys his stuff? Shock who goes to his concerts? Someone must! I just don't get it. It's making me irrationally irritated to think that there are people out there who actually like him and love his work. It's just not right. IANBU. You know it.

You're needed on the bunfight thread. Stat (always wanted to say that). It's a F&B emergency.

I went to uni with the nanny he shagged. And yes she did have blonde hair and wore blue jeans. And was a really nice girl actually.
I actually don't mind him. He does some nice weddingy songs (In a country church yard, for example)

KatieScarlett · 29/08/2016 21:35

Was she deaf and/or short sighted?
Did she wear a mohair sweater?

NotaNice314 · 29/08/2016 21:36

She only shagged him once. Big mistake. She realised that as she pulling her jeans back on.

KatieScarlett · 29/08/2016 21:38

I came backto NI at 16 and was doing a childcare course. They were a few i girls in from the country on it. They fucking loved CdB. A couple of them were playing a tape (!) with Patricia the Stripper on and were beside themselves, as if it was really outrageous .
I was listening to Prince singing about fucking at this age. It was weird.
Theres a market in my town square every saturday and the cd man plays Nathan Fucking Carter at full blast. Its dire.

Neil Diamond is an actual God btw.

Many years ago, ChrisdB lived in Dalkey near Dublin and you could read the Parish Council minutes online, with him whingeing about stuff. It was brilliant.
