Do not understand why some women adore Cliff Richard

[SirJamesTalbotAndHisSpeculum]

I just don't get it.

He isn't even a good singer.

What is the attraction? And why did the BBC award him so much compensation?

I know how you feel (I need a good nights sleep tonight)

It was Sue Barker he was engaged to. Now he lives with a retired catholic priest.

Not wanting to be sued and Im not prone to gossiping about anyones sex life, I would sincerely discount any of the Elm gossip etc, but I do think it's a shame hes never come out.

My mother in-law adores him, even wants one of his songs played at her funeral! She's 77 though, maybe it's more that generation that grew up with him who think he's wonderful.

The worst thing is that because of the way the police/BBC behaved, even if he is as guilty as sin, the case against him would be poisoned beyond all redemption.

I wonder if perhaps the Police genuinely believed him to be guilty but knew their evidence was weak (and CR able to afford the very best lawyers) and they settled for massive reputational damage? That's the only vague excuse I could think of, except perhaps for massive ineptitude.

On a personal level, he reminds me of a chameleon. I half expect a massive tongue to flick out of his mouth and nab a passing grasshopper. I think his popularity is partly to do with the safe crush thing, because most women get a sense that they really aren't at risk from him.

Personally I just think he's gay and felt unable to come out in the 60s/70s and for religious reasons? Could be wrong though, none of us really know!

I was told I look like a doll which I found offensive

Wow bit of a slanderous post there patsycrime!

I’ve know him.
He is absolutely lovely and extremely charismatic in real life.
What a mean spirited thread !

Imagine if you came across an online discussion with people discussing you saying you were creepy , sexless and looked like a lizard .

I can't stand him, I've always thought he was crap,

@Shortfeet

I have not been mean to Sir Cliff - I don't like his music but I can see how talented he is and I think he a good person.

Next have Christmas cards and wrapping paper on sale - which I have brought - is it too early to think of Christmas?

I’m not saying this is true for Cliff, but some of the worst sex offenders have got away with it for so long precisely because they were so charming and people couldn’t ever imagine them doing anything

Oops!

@Corna

I really don't believe you have proof of this and just hope Cliff isn't reading what you have just said

Thank you for deleting that horrible post x

hope Cliff isn't reading what you have just said

Is cliff likely to be hanging out on mumsnet?!

You never know @ShirleyPhallus 😅

@ShirleyPhallus

Some of his friends read this site so he might be aware of this thread

I had a nightmare as a child that Cliff Richard threw/pushed my dad into a lake full of crocodiles and he was eaten alive....... it's honestly stuck with me all my life. I can't stand him, he's creepy and cringy. I'm a 37 year old woman now and can't even rationalise that it was just a stupid childhood nightmare but it scarred me for life. I can laugh about the dream now but the guy honestly still creeps me out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Whether he's gay or not is no one's concern but his own. It's not a crime.
Even if he is gay, why should he ' come out '?
Some people like his music, some don't. That's no different for any singer / band.

Cliff is the full on cheese-meister 🔇

Raunchy Cliff. They were dark days!

What a horrible, horrible thread.
