all about his life and music for christmas show.

lemsip Sat 17-Dec-22 23:18:40

well I'm enjoying this

Betsylee Sat 17-Dec-22 23:29:23

I'm enjoying this too, his voice is good considering his age. I've always liked a few of his songs but as I get older I seem to enjoy listening to him more! My favourite song is We dont Talk Anymore
I felt so sorry for him when the BBC raided his house too.

We've recorded these, I've watched one tonight and enjoyed it.
Three friends and I have tickets to his Blue Sapphire tour at the Hammersmith Eventim Apollo next November, keeping everything crossed! 🤞

We've recorded this. We saw him live a couple of times in the 80s. His shows are brilliant. Very feel good with everyone dancing away

MrsKen33 Sun 18-Dec-22 18:24:14

Pass !!!!

Treebee Sun 18-Dec-22 18:41:34

Most enjoyable, especially his tribute to Olivia Newton John.

Lucca Sun 18-Dec-22 18:44:54

I’ll pass too. Mistletoe and wine is my absolute least favourite song. Sorry

Cliff went to school in Hertfordshire with my cousin.

Kate1949 Mon 19-Dec-22 23:05:26

Why do some people dislike Cliff so much I wonder.

Georgesgran Mon 19-Dec-22 23:12:56

I think a lot of people might suspect there’s no smoke without fire in his recent legal case.
I’m with MrsKen and Lucca but even more - I actually find him quite creepy.

Kate1949 Mon 19-Dec-22 23:21:05

Well we're all different. I'm not one of those 'Cliff fans' but I think he's a nice man.

veejay Mon 19-Dec-22 23:21:53

I went off him after seeing an interview where he said there is no need for people to be homeless or out of work..
He was very smug about it

Bixiboo Mon 19-Dec-22 23:24:48

Agree with Georgesgran, I’ve never been a fan.

Mollygo Mon 19-Dec-22 23:28:10

They’re hopefully recorded for when we get back. My sister, who watched it, said his hairdresser was off sick. I wonder what she meant.

Kate1949 Mon 19-Dec-22 23:29:43

I think he's great. 82 slim, touring, dancing around the stage, great clothes. There I've said it!

Kate1949 Mon 19-Dec-22 23:31:52

Hair is difficult as you get older. Give him a break. I have alopecia..My hairdresser has a permanent day off.

Zoejory Mon 19-Dec-22 23:35:53

I was never a huge fan but did like some of his songs. Carrie Doesn't Live Here Any More being my favourite.

Kalu Mon 19-Dec-22 23:37:19

Pass for me too. I find him sickly sweet and frankly, a too good to be true character. Just instinct, no proof but I have also always felt he is hiding something.

Saw Cliff live on two occasions in the 80’s.

‘Miss You Nights’ is one of my favourite songs, his voice was lovely then.

Hate to say it, but think it might be time to accept he’s no longer the Peter Pan of Pop, and gracefully retire.

Yes, still very trim and agile for his age, but the years are showing.

It must be hard for ageing pop stars, actors, celebrities to look in the mirror…..

BlueBelle Tue 20-Dec-22 07:16:58

Pass too, don’t like him too much at all

BlueBelle Tue 20-Dec-22 07:18:33

I can’t say how sorry to be a bit cryptic but he probably isn’t the innocent he makes out to bev

annsixty Tue 20-Dec-22 07:22:37

I once heard him on an interview being so terribly unkind and patronising about a fellow entertainer that I formed an instant dislike which has never gone away.
I find there is something “of the night” about him.

lemsip Tue 20-Dec-22 07:26:56

I highlighted a tv show and so many piled in with negatives. start another thread .

annsixty Tue 20-Dec-22 07:29:29

So sorry lemsip I hope you enjoyed the show.
Just that it wouldn’t have been for me.
