Martine McCutcheon

There's a huge advert for her new album at the top of the page. AIBU to not see the point of her?

She lacks expertise or tenacity in any area, just flits from one thing to another and comes out of the woodwork when she needs some cash. I see no talent within her.

Do you start a thread every time a singer you don't like launches a record or doesn't fit your life and career standards?

I dunno-I heard her on radio 5 last week and she was actually quite funny and articulate and spoke quite honestly about the DV she and her mum suffered in her childhood. She didn't seem to Have it easy and has made a good life for herself despite that.
Her music isn't for me but I can't see what she's done wrong over and above lots of other public figures.
That said sometimes we take against slebs for no reason...I used to get hugely irritated by Fiona Philips-no real reason why.
Can't like everyone I suppose...

Testtube, okay fair enough she's done a bit more than Eastenders but that is what she is most known for. There's nothing wrong with what she's achieved (she's done quite well for soap star) but to me she's came across as she's too big for her boots.

Thats just my opinion however.

She's been dining out on being in EE for decades now, oh and that one song. I honestly don't remember her for doing anything else but those two things.

Well I think she's lovely !

I'd love you to tell us what the point of you is? I'm sure you're living such a worthy life.

It's fine not to like someone, but it's odd to dislike a singer so much you'd start a thread about it. Just turn the radio or telly off if you dislike her work so much.

I don't know her, or much about her so from that point of view the ad doesn't bother me.

It DOES bother me that her single is rubbish (seen a few clips on the tv) but she's getting a shed load of publicity because of her previous stint at singing. There are so many talented folks that won't get a look in because we are being fed a diet of crap by very very average singers.

And given that the artist ends up paying for every single penny the record company spends (used to be the case) and that record sales don't translate into much actual cash, she's going o have to be touring, appearing on tv, interviews etc to make any actual money. We probably going yo seeing a lot more of her. Hope her next song is a bit better

Needs must I suppose. She is just relying on what she has trained for like we all do when we need some money. At least she has an ounce of talent, which is more than some of the celebs nowadays.

The way cookies work are that the ads are tailored to the individual, not just MN users. They obviously think you would like her based on your internet activity.

Bloody hell!

I realised this for a number of other ads that spring up on my screen, but I thought this is displayed on prime space dominated by MN.

Perhaps she wouldn't see the point of YOU either though OP

What a bizarre thread.

Yes I haven't seen this ad at all. It's not MN who have decided we all want to see it.

Fwiw I don't mind her.

Sorry to break the bad news to you OP but I haven't seen the ad either

Get an adblocker - you can then enjoy without the pleasure or not of Ms McCutcheon.

"Aw, I've heard she speaks.highly of you OP."

Some very defensive posts on here. Are we only allowed to talk about celebs we like now?

I used to be a fan but like others have said, she doesn't stick at anything and I lost interest. Olivier award notwithstanding, I think her leaving My Fair Lady due to illness/stage fright and being pictured out and about at the time did her acting career a lot of damage. She should have got back on track a few years later with Love Actually but she blew that chance at a party that Blonde mentioned.

I think she's a talented lady but she hasn't played the game as well as she could have done and it's going to take more than posting a bottom selfie on Instagram to get her career back to where it was.

I haven't seen this ad. I don't mind her - I liked her character on Eastenders and she has quite a good voice (but nothing out of the ordinary).
Just don't buy her album. The ads will stop soon.

highinthesky she has been appearing on mine too 😂 What does that say about us I wonder?

Let's get rid of everyone you doing see the point of.
Lots of people DO see the point of her.
What's the point of you?

Don't....not doing, sorry.

Have you noticed since her comeback she bears a striking resemblance to Arlene Phillips?!

I thought the same.

I haven't seen the ad
But I don't really mind her, seems harmless enough

I get lots of adverts about getting your baby to sleep through the night!

No ad here either.
Heard her on radios the other morning. Funny and self deprecating. Not a particularly in depth radio appearance but I find it difficult to become suffieciently irritated by someone I've never met to post and internet thread slating them.
