....Craig! I never liked him on Strictly Come Dancing and I still don't now, but don't you feel that he never gets to say what he feels because he's always interrupted by Carrie and David, the audience, Patrick or Reggie ( ). I think they should lay off him a bit! He has the right to have an opinion so why can't he say it?

No, not at all.
I have asked this question before, but did not get an answer.

Just what is his background that qualifies him to give opinions on singing,performances, and incidentally ballroom dancing?????

Does anyone know?

Last night Ade was saying he felt sorry for him because he is so bad at being the baddie.

He said to be a proper baddie you need to be witty

His profile is on the BBC/FA site. Fairly successful guy but I don't like him because he was so nasty to the gorgeous Julian Clary in Strictly CD!

considering that this ISNT show fuill of unknown wannabes who are there cause they believe they have a talent and have had a week to practise their song and instead its people doing it for charity hes been unneccesarily spiteful, mean-spirited and nasty on more than one occasion and deserves all the stick he gets

He really lost it when he got called orange didn't he? Really showed himself up.

Ooooh. Now that's someone who knows how to stick the knife in.

Thanks for that. I have just read it, so he is a choreographer, not a singing coach.

I already knew that he knew very little about ballroom dancing.

Richard is at least in the music business, and Lesley is a trained opera singer.

Julian gave as good as he got though!

I don't feel sorry for him at all, he's doing his bit for CR and no doubt raising his own profile at the same time.

I think they should've had someone with a comedy background as a judge along with Lesley and Parks.

the term "think before you speak" comes to mind He certainly looked like he was lost for words when he got some of it back, but to be fair...some of the criticism has been totally over the top - such as "excrutiating" for Reggie. We all know Reggie can't sing but I think he seems to be forgetting the man has been doing it for free and taking all the stick with it for free when he clearly knew he couldnt sing. The judges are sometimes forgetting this.

"Craig, for this guy (Reggie) the future is bright, for you, the future is orange" (queue squirm)

I don't feel sorry for him.. and I bet his bank manager has never liked him so much before!

Show run through on live streaming is very funny. They are reviewing Ade and Kim's duet and Kim is wondering why she is still here.

yes watching live steaming myself. bless Kim

Sounds fun! where do I sign up!?

Don't feel sorry for him at all.

Although to be fair, when the judges were introduced on the very first night, they said that he was there to judge the dancing / performance aspects and Lesley to judge the singing. Although most of his comments have been related to the singing, and not much about the choreography, so maybe he would have had more respect if he had kept his comments to areas he knows about.

I don't feel sorry for him. Let's face it, if his career goes belly-up after FA is over, he can always get a job advertising Tango.
