En Passant 3,741 Posted April 26, 2016 Sia is the most pretentious prick cunt imaginable yet she is seen as one if the few good artists right now. Her lyrics are meaningless and over stylised rubbish and her music video are terrible. She had her head so far stuck up her ass that she thinks Shia labouff dancing awkwardly with a twelve year old is art. Ffs FTFY. Not that I have even the vaguest notion of who Sia is, but the rest of your comment refers to 'she' and 'her'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect, if the kid cant see her face, he cant get wood, or summat. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deadsox 894 Posted May 9, 2016 Ok I'll join in, I literally have hundreds of people I gaze at in disbelief at their success. I give you Malala Yousafzai. Author, Nobel prize winner, touring chat show guest. Her talent? Getting into the UK without crossing in a boat via Turkey. Oh and saying girls should get an education. If she's that much of an advocate, she shouldn't be preaching/selling books to the converted, she should be touring Pakistan in an open topped car. Not that brave Malala? Thought so. I just started Malala's book so I'll weigh in on her when I'm finished. I finished Malala's book a while back and almost forgot to come back to this. Unless the facts of the story are vastly exaggerated or untrue, I cannot see why anyone would want to call her "overrated". She seems to be a courageous young woman who took personal risks to improve women's education in a violent and male-dominated culture. The fact that she now resides in the west would not cause me to doubt her courage, only applaud her prudence. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How did this teenager hold the UN in thrall? What has she actually done of any consequence since she was shot? She doesn't risk her life, she's no heroine, she sits in her comfy home preaching to people who already believe in her schtick. Has she gathered a political movement around her? No. Is she attaching herself to those in her home country, leading by example? No. Is she fundraising and providing schools in her place of birth? Not as far as I know. She's a teenager stating the bleeding obvious - no figurehead, nothing. I'm assuming though she will be able to put a deposit down on her own house in the UK from the sale of her books. Which is more than can be said for many teenagers today who might also espouse the simple tenet of education for girls around the world. When she does some good, when she gets some results, she might even qualify for rated. She's overrated. IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I state, I don't know about the veracity of her story. While many autobiographies are certainly whitewashes, not all are. Before you pronounce her overrated, you might want to actually read it. I thought it had a feel of truth and certainly the UN and other entities think so. I am not so quick to condemn people who after years of struggle, decide to do what's best for themselves after fighting injustice. But that's just my take.

msc 18,477 Posted July 29, 2016 Ah, speaking as a Glaswegian, she doesn't need to come to Glasgow if she doesn't want. When Tony Benn had to cancel an event up here, nobody thought "That bastard!" Ok, he was 88, and dying, and actually my gran thought that, so this analogy dies on its arse. Anyhow, it's not someone's fault if their fandom puts them on a pedestal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
