Dont know about that, but i loved his Bo selecta persona more than the real thing, " come ere Kez ya b**stard!" hilarious!!
I'm still baffled as to how Leigh Francis hasn't been sued in the past!
I remember in one of the later episodes of Bo, the Leigh Francis Craig David appearing on stage at one of Craig David's concert. The real Craig obviously wanted to be 'in' with the whole joke, but by then I think the damage was well and truly done.
One minute he was hotter than...I dunno, something really hot! I always found him cheesey but pretty much ALL the girls I worked with at the time (I mean the height of his career), though he was god's gift, and he was doing really well in the charts...and then next minute no one wanted to know! I just wondered how this happened...especially as I have been watching re-runs of Bo Selecta on 4Music!
I think it's because his songs haven't bettered 7 days.
His songs are really quite bland and have been done better by newer stars.
"I used a pen!"
Damn...I feel really for him after reading that!
And even after getting beefed up, an image change, a long break, etc, his comebacks are still failing. His voice is actually brilliant though, he did a live set on Channel 4 recently and sounded great.
But I don't think he will ever shake of the Bo Selecta curse...
Its an easy thing for him to blame for his own failings, as an ego and as an artist.
Proper Bo.
Because he's s**t.
When he first came out he was flavour of the month for a lot of the media, which he relied on to promote himself as cool, but in reality he was deathly dull in interviews.
The Bo Selecta thing became the most interesting thing about him. Without it, he might have been taken more seriously for longer, but I think people would have got bored with him sooner. These days he's mainly famous for his Bo Selecta character.
As others have pointed out, Mel B doesn't have the same problem.
The insertion of his name in several hits was a bit lame:(
Though I do have respect for him standing up for his guitarist when told he would do better in the US if he had a all black support group and he refused to drop him.
Just look at some x-factor episode for how quickly people will drop friends in the pursuit of fame.:p
Craig David is the epitome of bland mediocre
totally..
Bo Selecta did much worse to other stars.CD's problem was he let everyone know how upset he was about it...:yawn:
Well, that's obvious...I mean a thread about Craig David in March 2010 wouldn't exist!
I think now it's all about having huge singles and videos and scandal
Just another bland manufactured experiment aimed at teenage girls, pretty much like JLS is today, if JLS is around in another 5-6 years, I'll eat my own hand.
None of these acts have staying power at all because they cannot write their own music or produce their own albums, they are pretty much just being pimped by record companies.
Yeah I wonder just how many people are buying their 'Just Love Safe' condoms?!?
Back to Mr David though, I (up until the last 5 mins) was always under the impression that he had made it big in the states - oh how I was fooled!
