Black Star is one of his best and quite challenging albums. But for a guy getting near to 70; well I wish I had a fraction of his musical ability. Like a lot of his stuff, just when you think it'll resolve to a major chord, he lobs in something unexpected. Same with the time signature and syncopation.

That's why I commented earlier about talent. He was bisexual, sometimes androgynous, dressed weird, but man was he pushing the boundaries and very talented.

Yes, I'm a great fan and know that others will absolutely not share my opinion.

Each to their own.

I'm just reading this thread, with the many negative comments about Sam Smith's weight, having also recently scanned the '2023 Weight Watchers Thread'....

Glass houses, etc. etc.? ;)

I couldn't name a single song of his, but TBH I don't really see much of a story here. Pop star in flamboyant outfit non-shocker. Not really any different than anything from the 60s onwards. Good luck to him.

It's showbiz, dahling!

Had he rocked up in jeans and a hoodie, he wouldn't be on the front pages and we wouldn't be talking about him. Job jobbed. :thumbup:

Guy can sing very well but does come across as a bit of a clown over the whole pronoun shite, but he's no more offensive than 25 stone of Lizzo in a shiny leotard and a couple of tons worth of backing dancers in hot pants.

Saying that, I watched the Brits with the missus and apart from Stormzy, didn't know anyone. It mainly seemed to be a collection of badly dressed sweary yoof punctuated by visits to the stage of a woman who at one point been holding a guitar and screaming "Chaise Lounge" repeatedly into a microphone whilst a troop of Morris dancers writhed around.

The world is strange these days.

Yes, the Spiders from Mars were really from Hull.
Apart from the drummer, who was from Driffield and is the only one still alive.


That is not many light years from Hull!

I don't care for his music that much but I'm not put off by his idiotic fashions. Most of us were young once and must have numerous crimes against fashion driven by the popular culture of the times. I think it says a lot about how boring fashion is, how boring music is and how boring youth is in the 2020s that it's even an issue.
