am watching the voice, only 2 mins in and he's annoyed me already

as for Jennifer Hudson, I wouldn't get tired of slapping her

5 mins of this is enough

Agree 100% YANBU.

MissionItsPossible · 01/04/2018 11:20

He comes across as so smug and an attention seeker and has a punchable face. From what little I’ve seen Jennifer annoyed me when she sings the same song as the auditionees after they’ve finished to ‘show them how it’s done’ very arrogant, I thought.

YANBU
He's a dick. I know he was in that group with Fergie but no idea why he has such a status. I cringe for him.

SneakyGremlins · 01/04/2018 11:21

He makes good music but obviously that's no indicator of his personality.

WinkyisbackontheButterBeer · 01/04/2018 11:23

He’s known as Twat.U.R in my house.

honeyroar · 01/04/2018 11:24

I've met him. He was very attention seeking and a bit of a dick. I didn't like him at all.

hidinginthenightgarden · 01/04/2018 11:37

I cannot stand the guy!

BeyondThePage · 01/04/2018 11:52

i.am.home,
i.am.scholarship,
i.am.angel
also has earmarked his salary from “The Voice” to go to The Prince's Trust

but apart from that....

dustarr73 · 01/04/2018 11:55

Ye i wasnt a fan till i learned he does a lot for charity,Setting up schools and the like.

desertmum · 01/04/2018 11:55

He does, apparently, do a lot of good things for the area he grew up in which was by all accounts poverty stricken. He has a series of i.am charitable organisations. I actually quite like him, not that I know him personally.

That1950sMum · 01/04/2018 11:57

I love him.

He does so much for the communities he grew up in. I agree he's a show off, but I think he's a genuinely good man.

ShatnersBassoon · 01/04/2018 11:59

I think he's a decent sort. He seems hyperactive sometimes, and a bit all over the place, but I like that. I think he's funny and intelligent, and seems generous with his wealth and time.

GreenSeededGrape · 01/04/2018 12:05

He's alright, quirky but genuinely talented. Jennifer comes across as such twat and thinks she's awesome. Can't stand her and now can't watch it at all.

Roominmyhouse · 01/04/2018 12:09

He does do a lot for charity, which I can’t knock him for but I cannot stand him or his music!

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 01/04/2018 12:10

Good music? What, My Humps you mean? Or maybe I've got a Feeling, which has two lines repeated for the entire song? Yes, what a musical genius.

CapnHaddock · 01/04/2018 12:10

He has ADHD

VladmirsPoutine · 01/04/2018 12:10

He does a lot of charitable work but I have to mute the TV when he gives feedback on the voice.
I like Jennifer but I've yet to work out what qualifies Olly to be a judge.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 01/04/2018 12:17

Yes Ollie has approximately 10% of the talent of the other three.

SofieMonde · 01/04/2018 12:19

He is also a w.an.ker, a t.oss.er and a k.nob.head :)

abigailsnan · 01/04/2018 12:22

I like the guy and think he is very talented I watched a documentary about his life and how he has helped the people from the projects where he lived as a child,he supports the local schools with grants for children and seems to be an all over good guy ,he does seem to come across as having a touch of ACHD but lots of talented artists seem to be the same .

tigerrun · 01/04/2018 12:42

I bet he has done more for kids in deprived areas and changed more lives for the better than anyone on this thread! He's also wealthier and more successful than most people and seems pretty happy in himself and with his life so I'm sure he couldn't give a shiny shit about -bitter people thinking he is a dick, so it's a fairly pointless negative emotion on your part OP. I think he's is pretty fucking inspirational.

Wildlady · 01/04/2018 12:45

The way he speaks really grates on me, to be honest sometimes I haven't a clue what he's talking about.

Sallystyle · 01/04/2018 13:26

I love him. His little sweet face is adorable.

Can't stand Jen though.

RoseWhiteTips · 01/04/2018 13:28

A ludicrous person with an equally ludicrous “name”.Grin

raffle · 01/04/2018 13:29

He’s so dinky. I want one.
