Remember When Saint Cliff Richard Dominated Christmas?

I think this poster did, but the reason was removed at posters requst. I read it but will not pass on what was posted.

I’m much preferred Adam Faith thought he was gorgeous

I was an Elvis fan and once read some unpleasant remarks Cliff had supposedly made about him so never liked him from then. Probably all a load of rubbish, just shows how easily I was influenced in those teenage days.

Pmem. You are making accusations on heresay, not a wise thing to do in print.

I have in my youth met him and he was a very nice, shy lad and friends worked with him and had nothing bad to say about him. I am not a fan, don’t like pop music in the main but do object when people make unsubstantiated slurs.

Why such a nasty 'he looks old' comment? The man is in his 80s and does, at least, look like Cliff Richard, no some botox injected, plastic surgery horror figure. Not sure how old the GN commentor is, but surely she doesn't look the same as the years pass!!

Not a fan of Cliff Richard I’ve seen him in interviewed and found him arrogant . Must admit I did like devil woman one of his hits

Cliff Richard was ok but I adored Elvis

I hope that nobody close to or related to Cliff reads these comments. They would be devastated.

Rumours has it, Elvis liked very young girls - but that’s it, it’s just a rumour!

Well, he did meet Priscilla when she was just 14...

I sat behind Cliff Richard on a plane from Portugal. He has property there and the airline crew said he flew frequently with them and he was a real gentleman. He sat quietly throughout the flight, just playing on his iPad and never demanding anything from the stewardess. At the end of the flight, he was more than happy to have a photograph with me and got his manager to take it.
He couldn't have been nicer and can't believe anyone would call him creepy. What a disgusting comment from someone who probably never met him

The last time I saw Cliff was in the 80s at Knebworth. There was a crowd of 120,000 and virtually everyone there used his set to go and get a drink or use the portaloos. Instead of pushing and shoving to try and get to the front of the crowd they were all trying to shove themselves away from it.

Back in the 1970's when I sang in my school choir we appeared on his show one Sunday night. We met him at the afternoon rehearsal bsfore the recording in the evening. He was pleasant and friendly in the afternoon, relaxing in jeans and a shirt, but the consumate performer in the evening, complete with glittery suit! Overall he's a nice guy. His music may not be to everyone's taste but he gets too much unfair criticism.

I am not a fan but he has done nothing wrong has he but get old, he cant be Peter Pan for ever. If men said that about a woman hell would break loose. Not liking someone is no excuse

Have a go at Cliff why don't youse!!! Leave the man alone. There's enough slagging off of other blokes without dragging Cliff into it! Merry Christmas!

Trying to imagine almost 120 thousand rushing to the loos, difficult to imagine , too difficult to believe

Really?

He was there in 1990 with the same size attendance and the crowd didn’t seem to be making a break for the toilet or a drink. I didn’t notice a rush for the portaloos and drinks during any of the other acts either. People came and went, depending on how much they liked a particular act. I probably missed Pink Floyd, but it’s so long ago . . .

The crowds at Knebworth for that silver clef event were so big that it’s unlikely I’d have noticed a few. or even a lot of people moving away.

Never liked him- and always found him creepy (and for good reasons).
Me too. He’s very up himself, isn’t he?

What horrible comments.

I’m confused. And clearly missing something.

What has this to do with Cliff Richard?
Who or what are the “Media Influencers” ?
And did you mean Trussell Trust* ?

mae13 what a horrible thread
