I know you will all *yawn* and call me tedious, but some things just need to be said :D

I loved the Happy Mondays music, but never liked Shaun Ryder. I thought he was the absolute definitionof an arrogant tosser.

Now, however, I really love this drug free version. He is such a sound bloke.

I did love Dom Jolly pointing out the irony of a man who had spent 20 years off his face on a concoction of illegal and legal drugs being the man with the fastest reactions. Class!

Shaun for the win!!!

    I agreee!!
    Shaun Ryder is one of my musical heroes. Yes the drugs and all the stuff that goes with it ultimately will affect the body, but his mind is still sharp.. he seems a sound, honest geezer

    I loved John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten, he never compromised who he was and neither will Shaun Ryder :cool:

    Hear hear. I don't normally watch celeb stuff, but when I heard Shaun was on I had to watch.

    I met and interviewed Shaun back in 1989 - and he was pretty much the same as he is on 'Celeb' - a decent bloke.

    Here's hoping he wins now...

    I really enjoyed this BBC documentary on Shaun, "The Ecstasy and the Agony"

    'Madchester' was a little bit before my time but I read Peter Hooks book on running The Hacienda and got the impression Shaun Ryder was a bit of a character.

    I really like him so far:)

    I had never heard of Shaun when he entered the jungle - but I thought he was funny from the start (sleeping through arguments etc:D) He is really cool, and I hope he is there until the end. He was amazing when he done the bush tucker trial - just got on with it, no self pity :p

    I was out of the UK for most of the '90s so had no idea who Shaun was either at the start of this series.

    I think he's lovely, a very funny bloke and strangely attractive. He has a nice smile. :o

    I've never heard him sing, but based on his appearance on this show, he seems a decent guy,I do like him, but I think he needs to come out of his shell a bit. He needs to interact a bit more.

    I'm probably biased because I was at the peak of my partying days when the whole Madchester thing was going on so spent many a great night in a bar or club listening to the Monday, Roses etc.

    The likes of Shaun and Ian Brown were legends back in the day and many of may era will always think of them in those terms.

    Shaun FTW

    I just finished watching this - wow! He's come a long way. Especially considering the documentary was filmed after he'd supposedly cleaned himself up and he still looked hardly able to function. I dread to think what he was like before that:eek:

    And considering the years of abuse he put his body through he's not been deemed "medically" unfit for any trial
    :)
    Either lucky or the constitution of an ox.

    He has to make the final at least. Definitely one of the best this year.

    I wonder if we will get any 'Should someone who took drugs be on programmes like this?' that we got when Bez was on Celebrity Big Brother or have times moved on?

    If anyone who's ever taken drugs was excluded, there'd be a vastly smaller pool of celebrities to choose from.

    This is undoubtedly true but there were a lot of posts on the topic when CBB was on - either things have changed or Gillian is deflecting the attention of those who disapprove.

    Until he decided to do a rubbish advert about butter.

    Shaun is a top bloke. He's definately on my very short list of people I would like to see win this.

    Which apparently was done in order to fund the PiL reunion tour.

    It's still not very rock n roll is it?

    Anyway I could listen to Shaun's droll one liners all night - top bloke and I never thought I'd be saying that anytime soon :p

    I loved his remark about Gillian "fannying around" all night. Also the "Kettlin' me swede" thing.

    I like Shaun but its quite a conservative and older audience who vote on this. You usually have to be quite safe as going by the previous winners.

    I dont think he will win
