So on the Strictly results show tonight, they featured Beautiful People by Chris Brown. I am beyond furious. He was convicted of beating Rihanna up. Plus many other issues.

I am spitting so many feathers I can't even right now.

I agree. I can't actually believe it. What the actual fuck. I shall also be complaining.

I can’t stand how people make excuses for this cunt. Because Rhianna was doing something like slapping his hands away while he was bartering her with both fists, I’ve seen comments saying things like she was just as bad! He literally bit her with his teeth, he’s an animal.

I feel like this about Cheryl Tweedy tbh.

Did they just feature her on Strictly? If not, off you pop.

Not defending Cheryl but there's a world of difference between a single conviction 20+ years ago and the lengthy rap sheet Chris Brown has, running up to the present day and demonstrating zero remorse or learning from his past actions.

I thought the song Beautiful People was by Sia feat. David Guetta?!?

Deeprug · 19/10/2025 21:56

I can't bear the man. Bbc radio play him all the time.

Me too. Racism is often glossed over and excused.

I'm no fan of Chris Brown either.

A song that Gary Glitter wrote was featured in the Joker starring Joaquin Phoenix, I was quite surprised by that.

Very few people outside of the UK are aware of who he is and what he's done. One of his songs gets played all the time at sports events. Still, you'd think they'd check this kind of thing first!

Yes- lots of talk about how amazing she is, how one of the contestants dyed her hair to look like her, and is dancing to her song next week.

ohyesido · 20/10/2025 14:10

Vicky Pattison has quite an interesting history of abusive behaviour including spitting in the face of her ex boyfriend. That’s been glossed over too

Yes - it is. I don't know if Chris Brown covered it, but he certainly was not the one singing it last night! So a bit pointless to be complaining about it.

The song on Strictly was written by Chris Brown. And sung by him.

ETA: Obviously not sung on Strictly by him, but nobody else has covered it. It's his song. Would people be cool with a Gary Glitter song on Strictly?!

Gary Glitter receives absolutely no royalties for his music. This was established before using the Music in the joker. It was cowritten I believe so I'm not sure if the other guy would receive royalties.

Meredusoleil · 24/10/2025 16:19

I do believe this version by Sia sounds the same as the one I heard on Strictly!
