Boy George WDYTYA

[derxa]

Who's watching?
I love George.

You just have to read/watch/listen to their work and appreciate it in isolation from the person that you have read about. And FWIW I absolutely loved BG's voice.

OH also the point of this thread is literally to talk about how much the Op and other posters love Boy George. Not even his music, him.

Do you not think it maybe warrants the odd mention of his background?

He's a convicted sex offender. I really don't know how anyone can say that they rate him at all.

He chained a man to a bed a whipped him with a chain. It wasn't consensual and he received a prison sentence for it.

I don't understand the BBC at all for allowing him on there.

I wonder if there’d be so much love if it was a woman he’d falsely imprisoned and beaten? Would being of Celtic descent and having been alive in the 80s mean that was ok too?

What a strange thread!

^I agree. What a bizarre thread celebrating a convicted sex offender.

he is a pretty disgusting specimen of humanity, IMO.

And what was so special about Culture Club anyway? Some OK pop tunes, a boy wearing make up..hardly groundbreaking stuff was it?

His link to the IRA chap was pretty tenuous. Hardly a blood relative.

His grandma getting picked up for 'wandering' was shocking though.

Unfortunately Alias, he probably would.

See John Lennon, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Bill Wyman, Elvis, R kelly, Steven Tyler....

I wonder how many celebrities they research for the show and find nothing of any interest regarding their ancestors?

Will watch tomorrow, should have some time then.

This x 1000
he is a scumbag and a violent sex offender
I’m shocked he was allowed back on to the BBC on the voice.

there is something seriously scummy about him tbh.

If you go back far enough you have thousands of people to research, it wold be impossible to not find something half way interesting.

The Danny Dyer one was hilarious.

Apparently Michael Parkinson was too dull. They researched for 6 weeks but found nothing.

What's WDYTTA or whatever it is?

Matthew pinsent was good he was descended from God...

Alexander Armstrong another interesting one as was Graham Norton

it's a TV show called 'who do you think you are' where they dig into your family background and find out that your grandfather picked up dog shit for a living and your great grandmother ran away with the stable boy. that kind of thing.

I met him at a party.
My ex was rather upset by his attitude. He was a known DJ, and I understood his feelings.
He seemed nice enough.

Jeremy Clarkson's was really interesting. Another MN 'favourite'.

That Jeremy Clarkson is a twat isn't really up for debate, but at least he's not a known sex offender and twat.

It's all ok because JC hasn't been allowed back on the BBC.

yes Clarkson is a better class of twat altogether..

Less keen on him since he was found guilty of a pretty vicious violent crime.

His autobiography, Take It Like A Man , is one of the best I’ve ever read.

I agree i loved it too.

Does anyone know why he never seemed to like my George M? Even after he died he never really said anything. Poor George.

Has Paul O'Grady been on this show? I adored his books.
