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

I like him, he is very good at mixing the songs so they do not sound karaoke. His show with Joanna Lumley about his like was lovely. He seems a very decent person but has probably been on the voice a season too long.

I think he's brilliant! You have to watch the sketch he did with Miriam Margyles on Graham Norton to see what a great character he is. And he's invested so much of his own money encouraging young people from the projects get involved in STEM courses. Bit of a fan here!

LolaTheDarkdestroyer · 01/04/2018 13:46

I like him, Jennifer h is a complete twat though so up her own arse forgetting it was one of these types of programs there out her where she is!
Can't stand her. Ollie is becoming is becoming a slight dick from being on this.

clearingaspaceforthecat · 01/04/2018 13:48

Decent person, good social conscience and does a lot for other people. Fair enough if you don't find him entertaining on that show, but I don't think it is reasonable to call him a 'total dick'. There are far worse self-serving, self-promoting people than him around.

Yeah. That hyper stuff is ADHD.

Choccywoccyhooha · 01/04/2018 13:50

I knew him a bit in a past life, pre-kids. He's a nice guy, awkward for sure, I would say that he definitely has ASD traits. He's passionate about everything he does, including his fantastic charity work.

AnnabelleLecter · 01/04/2018 13:50

Daft name, top philanthropist.

BishopBrennansArse · 01/04/2018 13:51

Not met him Choccy but I get the same vibe. Very traity. His ADHD was diagnosed, though.

skippy67 · 01/04/2018 13:55

I read am interview with him last week, where he spoke about his Adhd, amongst other things. I think he's fab.

HoarseMackerel · 01/04/2018 13:56

He's quirky at worst! Definitely not someone to hate seeing as he has given to others on the back of his success.
Jennifer Hudson, I just see her as someone who just wants to help others improve their singing and performance. Not really a crime, is it?
I will forever admire her for being able to carry on when she suffered a huge personal loss. I think many others would have crumbled.
I think her career has probably kept her going!

howthelightgetsin · 01/04/2018 13:58

Oh, him and Jennifer are the only reasons we watch!!

whitecremeegg · 01/04/2018 13:58

He's got ADHD so I don't think he's aware of how he comes across, he's very hyper and can get distracted and off topic, all of which are part of his ADHD - why hate him for something he can't help?

He does a lot of charity work and seems a nice genuine guy.

bruffin · 01/04/2018 13:58

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOJUv1Kh47E this documentary of WIll i am with Joanna Lumley is fascinating. I really like him.

howthelightgetsin · 01/04/2018 13:58

Because we like them and Jennifer’s voice Shock I mean.

toomanycuddlytoys · 01/04/2018 13:59

I adore him. He’s my guilty crush. I so would given half a chance. I think he’s confident which I find attractive but I guess it could come across as smug.

MarthaArthur · 01/04/2018 14:02

He came across as really funny and kind on graham norton once. Plus is very charitable and nice to his fans.

Amanduh · 01/04/2018 14:03

I like him. Can’t watch The Voice though because it features Olly Murs and I can’t STAND HIM

TheFirstMrsDV · 01/04/2018 14:04

I can't watch those programmes because they way they all talk and behave.
All that self referencing, buzz words, look at me and cliches.
BUT its a shtick isn't it? Its what people expect and want to see.

They are working.
Its what they do.

thelionthewitchandthebookcase · 01/04/2018 14:11

Aw I loooooooove Will Blush I think loads of us an identify with his lack I stability and craziness
JH is an attention seeker but extremely talented and beautiful too

toomuchtooold · 01/04/2018 14:12

I quite like him on the Voice. I went to an exhibition at the Barbican a few years ago where there was a hologram of him as an Egyptian pharaoh with eyes that followed you about the room. Totally mental... I get the impression that he's the kind of guy who will throw out 100 ideas a minute and if you work with him your job is basically to signal boost the ones that will actually work.
I like him on the Voice - I love the fact that he has a bit of banter with Tom, even though there's almost no other situation where I can imagine them getting along. I miss Ricky. Ricky was awesome. And also Paloma Faith (with better judgement) or Boy George (if he wasn't so snarky - he really misjudged the tone when he started on the blind auditions, and then by the time the live shows started you could tell someone had had a word Grin. If we could have Paloma coaching Boy George's choices, I'd watch that.

quickname · 01/04/2018 14:15

argh joanna lumley is unbearable

BishopBrennansArse · 01/04/2018 14:17

Will and Miriam Margolyes on Norton was hysterical 😂

lattewith3shotsplease · 01/04/2018 14:19

I thought the same until I watched a documentary on him.

He is an amazing Son and yes, he is diagnosed with Autism.
