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

[LeaveMyWingsBehindMe]

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.

Who buys his stuff? 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 can't put The Boss in the same list as Cliff R. and Chris DB.

When he saw "dahnce" it is like nails on a blackboard.

I prefer DO'D. At least he's a decent guy.

Saw him out jogging about 15 years ago and honestly my first thought before i knew who he was ''whoah!?''

"Romahnce"

Who's the boss? Billy Joel? I was shocked to see him on the list, I must confess. I thought everyone liked Billy in the same way everyone likes a bit of ABBA.

When he whispers "I love you" at the end it makes me do a simultaneous boak/cringe.

Who's The Boss?

Oh yes, rhyming dance with romarnce he deserves a public flogging for that alone.

He actually makes my skin crawl.

Told you my life was sheltered.

The Boss.

I do love a bit of Billy too, mind.

Who the hell is that?!

Sheltered life, you say?

Consider yourself corrupted educated

Young Boss is pleased to see you...

Who's the Boss? Billy Joel?

electric I think it's fair to say that you are not at the cutting edge or even the blunt edge of rock music, are you? 😂

Hence why you seem to like CdB

It's ok. What gets said in this thread, stays in this thread.

It's my future sugar daddy The Boss!

Who is that????

He looks very nice, I grant you. I am ready to be converted. But tell me the name of my saviour, do.

Only last week I asked DH if he knew CdB was still alive . Happy to see he's in good health....he was my late grandmother's heart throb

Electric that's Bruce Springsteen.

Would you like an introductory playlist?

The Boss?! He doesn't belong in grandma pop

Oh yes - Dahhnce and romahhnce. I had forgotten about that!!!!! Just asked DH (who has very questionable music taste) about cdb and he says it's a great song & now he's singing that d ing song around the house..

Bruce is still shit hot at 60 odd.

electric I think it's fair to say that you are not at the cutting edge or even the blunt edge of rock music, are you? 😂

The insults are starting to fly thick and fast and it's not even 10am on God's Day of Rest.

Oh my, this thread has taken me back. I knew back in the 80s as a dungaree-wearing, doc martinned rad fem that I shouldn't have liked it but this used to make me laugh so (not sure how to do links):

Electric, that photo must have been snapped circa 1970.
