Whlst that appears on the face of it to be a thoughtful post, I have to say I can die happy now havinhg read it all now. The comparison between Lady Chav and David Bowie is excellent - both immensely successful yet complex artists working on their 3rd No1 album and at the top of their game............i have actually printed the above as it's hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!
In another 35 years I'm sure we'll all be retrospectively buying her back-catalogue as a 16 album set when she's inducted into music's Hall of Fame.

You misunderstand the comparison. Sovereign exists in a time where there are so many manufactured "artists" that we now expect all our musicians to be middle class public schoolboys and dolly bird pop girls, filtered through the process of having their creativity effectively sucked out of them by drama school and get into the business via their connections in the media. They are taught to perform sappy love songs (the most boring subject for music, frankly) and sappy love songs only.
Musicians have always been immature.
At least Sov does music for the love of it, unlike Silly Allen who only does it for the money.
She's a bit of a loner, and really you're either born as a social animal or a loner and there's no way of magically changing from one to the other. I would never enter the BB house for this reason, I think if you are not a social animal (and alot of people are not) then you are screwed in an environment like BB. Hell is other people if you are a loner.
The phrase "No man is an island" is total BS as some people are.
I can't see how Sov could have ever fitted in, she's just way too different. "You're weird, I'm weird, lets be mates", but there's no one sufficiently weird for Sov to be mates with. Sov works hard on her music because it matters to her.
In order to bond with people you have to be similar to them. The other HMs were all highly conservative people, so no similarity and thus no chance of connection.
Throughout the history of BB people have never bonded with people who are different from them. Groups form based on like-mindedness and social status.
If people can call Sov "Chav" then why can't we call Sisqo a certain word beginning with "N"?

Seems to depend on who she's with, she's much happier talking to this guy than any of the HMs.
