Craig David's having a hard time recently. He didn't win any Brits, losing out to Lemar, and his album and singles are hardly doing well in the charts.

By the look on his face when Lemar was declared winner in a category where David was a contender, he's not amused.

Avid Merrion has made quite a bit point of the "Craaaaaaaaig Daaaaaaviiiiiiid!" sound-bite and the caricature costume he wears of the singer which I can't help but think has reduced any credibility the RnB crooner Craig David perhaps once had...... hence the poll......

I think it's a shame because he has such potential....... I personally point the finger at Avid Merrion, the rest of course being down to Craig's lacklustre efforts at follow up albums post "Born to do it".......

Peace!

I think a few things went against Craig David:

1) When he lost out by winning no Brits a few years back - he put a very glib line into a live performance whinging about it - DON'T upset the industry then try to continue suckling off it's teat.

2) His first album was played to death. 3 years on one album - and continually performing the same tired old songs.

3) The second album was too "housewife friendly". By the time it came out, his bland rnb style was more mainstream than ever before, it was no longer "urban", it was what your mum liked. And we were promised a lot more than this. More devastatingly - it showed no progression.

4) He was not the second coming of Jesus. As much as people played him up as "The new Michael Jackson" or whatever - he had a solid voice and some ok tunes - nothing more.

5) He just isn't that great.

If anything Avid Merion ketp Craig David alive longer than his career deserves.

But having a peepee bag and an seagull was funny!

Did you know that Craiiiiggg David mentions his own name about 40+ times in his first song?

I just generally dont like his look, image or the ever placed smug look on his face. Then again I say that about mainstream acts. Brits... pah, what do they really mean? Mz Dynamite and Finlay Quay went on to be ooo soo massive after they one it.. the Brits are just there for Radio 1 to push what they think we want to hear.

The brits are nothing more than the industry collectively slapping the backs of the artists who have made them the most money or played ball the best! This - I suppose - is why Craiiiiig David was so annoyed.

Sounds like a Craig David fact generator! LOL

Craaaaaaaiiiiiig Daaaaaaaaaaaviiiiid! Proper Bo!

:blush: That was one of my first albums, but I can't remember the name. :blush:

njlouch summed up what I would say, he became housewife stuff. Fate worse than death!

Avid just kept him in the spotlight a little longer I guess. That could have actually been exploited imo.

'Seph:

"Slicker Than Your Average"

"Born To Do It"

And the unreleased third album: "Craig David Sings The Hits Of The Village People"

Everyone that Avid mocked was crap or rubbish anyway. If anything the mention in Bo Selecta just helped give them publicity.

The only people that have done ok since Bo Selecta was ... ... ... hmmm.... ..Davina.

Favourite line (From Proper Chrimbo) : "Not with you, Not with you and those aaaantlerrrrrs!"
