Most talented celebrity?

[MTVN]

Bit of a subjective question I guess but who has been the most talented celebrity housemate in their careers and who is most deserving of their fame?

I'd say it's between Evander and Lee, Lionel is also up there. Poll coming.

[Mystic Mock]

Ones that are/was quite good in their field imo are Lee, Lionel, Jim, Evander, Luisa does quite well with her businesses.

And I liked Dappy's No Regrets but I don't normally like his Music very much.:joker:

[Black Dagger]

Evander, Lee, Dappy and I'd say Luisa as well tbh, you have to have half a brain to be a businesswoman. Oh and Lionel was a top presenter <3.

[Livia]

Evander, Lionel, Liz and Jim... they were too close to call for me.

[King Gizzard]

Evander

quite a big distance too

[MTVN]

Yeah was probably wrong to say it's between him and Lee, Evander has had the biggest career in his field quite easily

[mizzy25]

I hate to say it but Lee, I love blue and he has an amazing voice ive seen them live and he is a great singer. Lionel is talented as well with his dancing, dappy for his singing/rapping. jim for his comedy, Linda I suppose for her singing.

[Vanessa]

Jim, Dappy, Evander, Lee.

[Brother Leon]

Evander easily. Followed by Dappy as he's singer/songwriter/rapper.

[Livia]

I'm really surprised so few people have mentioned Liz. She had a successful career in fashion journalism, a particularly difficult area to crack, before becoming a columnist in a national newspaper. So much more difficult to do well than flogging cupcakes from a website.

[abhorson]

Jim has 30 years in SB and with prime time TV under his belt, Lee granted has good music but part of a boy band which never stood the test of time and also not a singular character, but his group are now dead in the water. Is there any real doubt?

[Mystic Mock]

I'm really surprised so few people have mentioned Liz. She had a successful career in fashion journalism, a particularly difficult area to crack, before becoming a columnist in a national newspaper. So much more difficult to do well than flogging cupcakes from a website.

Yeah but Liz writes for one of the nuttiest Newspapers around.

[Jordan.]

I forgot to vote Linda, can a mod add it

[Alf]

Evander is not just any other Heavyweight champion of the World, he's one of the all time great heavyweight boxers. A worldwide legend in his field.

So I choose Evander.

[Me. I Am Salman]

People voting Jim Davidson when his 'comedy' was hateful and racist :umm2:

[abhorson]

Yeah but Liz writes for one of the nuttiest Newspapers around.


And she makes money from being vicious about others. How would YOU feel if you were on the end of that. Just for Liz to make money?

[Natalie.]

evander

also dappy,lee,lionel and luisa

[InOne]

Definitely Luisa.

[Braden]

Evander is obviously talented at what he does since he's so well-regarded in his field.

I'd say Liz too because she is very good with her words and makes a living from it.

[Mystic Mock]

People voting Jim Davidson when his 'comedy' was hateful and racist :umm2:

He made racist jokes and hateful jokes for his career, it doesn't make him those things.

PC can go too far sometimes.

[Mystic Mock]

Pissed off.

[Samm]

People voting Jim Davidson when his 'comedy' was hateful and racist :umm2:

This.

[Jordan.]

PC can go too far sometimes.

It doesn't make him talented either

[King Gizzard]

Yeah was probably wrong to say it's between him and Lee, Evander has had the biggest career in his field quite easily

and made 10x more money than any of them

[flamingGalah!]

Jim, a very successful career that started in the 70's & that is still going strong...

PMSL that someone voted for Linda though, a backing singer in a group that had ONE hit 30 years ago! :laugh2:

[MeMyselfAndI]

Easily Lee!

[flamingGalah!]

It doesn't make him talented either

His sold out stand up shows would tell you otherwise :xyxwave:

[Black Dagger]

I'm really surprised so few people have mentioned Liz. She had a successful career in fashion journalism, a particularly difficult area to crack, before becoming a columnist in a national newspaper. So much more difficult to do well than flogging cupcakes from a website.

I forgot to mention her, but did vote her in the poll.. she may be controversial in what she writes, but some people have the knack of writing and some don't.

[Black Dagger]

and lol, being a comedian is bloody difficult, just because you think he's a tosspot and you don't appreciate his work doesn't mean he's untalented, I find lots of comedians/enn's tediously unfunny.

[Livia]

And she makes money from being vicious about others. How would YOU feel if you were on the end of that. Just for Liz to make money?

And all the others in there work for the Red Cross.

[Mystic Mock]

It doesn't make him talented either

I never said it did, but people calling him a racist for making a career out of racist jokes which quite a few comedians do does not make him a racist.

[Livia]

I forgot to mention her, but did vote her in the poll.. she may be controversial in what she writes, but some people have the knack of writing and some don't.

She's not my favourite writer, and she doesn't work for my favourite paper... but credit where it's due, I reckon.

[Sophiee]

definitely lee. great singer and songwriter.
I still don't know what lionel and jasmine are famous for :suspect:.

[Jordan.]

I never said it did, but people calling him a racist for making a career out of racist jokes which quite a few comedians do does not make him a racist.

No one said that :shrug:

[Jemal]

not someone voting for Linda *feints*

[abhorson]

Comedians have always used others for their topics, most people can see that and realise as such. But a lot still sell out. Look at Frankie Boyle and Jordan, she would have not have obviously have found it funny, and rightly so. But they do it for effect. People realise it is a joke and not to be taken seriously. It will make some laugh but not others. Does that make Liz any different from some comedians.

[abhorson]

morons going to see a moron tell racist jokes doesn't equal talent either

Mlore ROT again, millions have see his pantomimes over the years, been NO racist jokes in them, nor on Generation game/Big break. Don't be vindictive and have an open mind.

[Vanessa]

I love the generation game! :love:

[Mystic Mock]

No one said that :shrug:

Read back to the post and I think we both know what they was implying.

[Arrow]

Evander has achieved the most fame and fortune he will be remembered long after hes gone


after that its jim

luisa cassy liz sam ollie linda wouldnt even class them as celebrities

[Seraphim]

I chose Dappy, because I think he is a prodigious talent, having started his band at the age of 12 and playing regular gigs by 13. Wow! He has an incredible sense of rhythm and an innate musicality that leaves my jaw on the floor.

[abhorson]

So anyone that likes Jim is a moron, nice way to insult most of the forum... :nono:

I expect you have never actually seen anything Jim Davidson has been in or any of his stand up routines & are basing your entire opinion on the worst things written about him on the internet. Jesus wept :facepalm:

:thumbs:

[Me. I Am Salman]

I never said it did, but people calling him a racist for making a career out of racist jokes which quite a few comedians do does not make him a racist.

he was a 'comedian' during a really intolerant period when it was actual mockery, and the fact that he's said incredibly offensive things away from his shows like this (http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2012/10/29/jim-davidson-gays-in-showbiz-more-likely-to-be-perverts/) also suggest his jokes probably match his real views

but anyway I never even said he was racist in my original post I was just implying that if a large portion of your comedy is racism you're probably not that talented

[Seraphim]

I don't want to be offensive of anyone's heroes, but how is it a talent to punch another person? Surely that is down to size, weight, muscle bulk, strength, quick reaction time, anticipating another's moves, training etc.

[Pincho Paxton]

Jim, Luisa, Lionel, and Liz are the only housemates with any talent. I voted Jim.

[abhorson]

Whoever said what talent does Lionel have? Brain freeze. Look him up. Only 60 years and performing with the worlds biggest stars.

[Mystic Mock]

Fair enough I've never seen that article before, the way that the article wrote it with his face looking really evil made me laugh.:joker:

[chuff me dizzy]

Can I ask those whos voted Jim ,are you all old enough to have seen him on Tv shows ,or is it just because youre a fan in Cbb ?

[Pincho Paxton]

Can I ask those whos voted Jim ,are you all old enough to have seen him on Tv shows ,or is it just because youre a fan in Cbb ?

I saw both, but I have seen most of his talent in the house on Youtube which they didn't show.

His act consisted of talking in silly voices ,racism and attacking the disabled

[Firewire]

Casey

[Videostar]

Seriously, who is voting for Lee and job dodger Linda? :joker:

[Vanessa]

[abhorson]

In the past granted including TV which was accepted then. TV would not have allowed him on otherwise? Now in modern times NO! So he has adapted. I have seen two stage shows (Sinderella} with Jim and Paul Ogrady twice and one of his stand ups in the last few years, never been anything over the top. So the fact is NO his act/s are not the same.

[Lex]

Lol...I quickly voted for Jim because I always liked his comedy routine...before I remembered that Evander [record breaking boxing multi-world champion had been in there] :hugesmile: ...ooops!

[Niamh.]

Evander, Lee, Liz and Jim

[flamingGalah!]

Can I ask those whos voted Jim ,are you all old enough to have seen him on Tv shows ,or is it just because youre a fan in Cbb ?

Yes. Have seen him over the years on different comedy shows, with him doing his stand up routine & love him on The Generation Game & Big Break...

His act consisted of talking in silly voices ,racism and attacking the disabled

That was not his whole act. He may have had the odd racist joke, but then all comedians of that era did. Things were not as PC as they are today & as such his act has changed with the times... I have seen a DVD of a fairly recent stand up tour & there were no racist, homophobic jokes at all...

Besides just because somone tells racist or homophobic jokes it does not make them racist or homophobic. It isn't about hate, it is about taking the pi**, there is a HUGE difference.

[Z]

Dappy, Evander, Jim, Lee, Liz

[coolface]

Evander by far, shouldn't even be up for debate tbh

[Northern Monkey]

Evander is not just any other Heavyweight champion of the World, he's one of the all time great heavyweight boxers. A worldwide legend in his field.

So I choose Evander.

Yeah,With you here.Evander is a true legend.

[reece(:]

Evander and Lee.

[Heaven = Winner]

Easily Evander.

Who voted for Jasmine tho? I mean the whole reason she was famous was because she slapped Lindsay Lohan and had a sex tape.

[BBDodge]

Evander was world champion so no contest.
