I think we are now seeing a public reaction against someone who just happens to have what is perceived as a posh accent and want to see that posh accent hurt.

Wow, I don't see it that way at all, I'm surprised anyone does. Her accent doesn't even factor into it whatsoever, her attitude is the problem. She thinks she's better than Dappy and brings up intelligence - of course there's going to be a reaction against her

I don't think it's case of her thinking she's better than him, she just dislikes him so is using (frankly petty) insults such as low intelligence to undermine him. She says he's a gangster wannabe or whatever, so clearly she doesn't think much of him, but I don't think that really means she perceives herself to be superior to him.

And about their careers, I think they're both doing well in their own careers and are surprisingly talented compared to many CBB housemates!

Well he's not a businessman.. so why the **** would he go on The Apprentice?

Personally I don't think you can not think very much of someone without thinking you're better than them; unless she doesn't think very much of herself either?

Your post would make sense if Dappy was Justin Bieber,One Direction,Little Mix, or some other Manufactured pop star. But he writes the majority of the N Dubz albums and his singles so there is no "getting lucky" to it. Could Luisa do what he does as a Music Artist? No, because that's not her lane....same way the Apprentice isn't his

I like your comment it makes a fair point.
Music: I am thinking here of How 'Frankie goes to Hollywood' sounded when outside of the studio (shudder) The person who mixes the track IMO is actually the true star of a lot of successful music albums.

I will leave this now, I know the majority of people will only see what they want to see and won't bother trying to understand what really happens. I have said all I need to in various threads.

Let's not forget he writes all his material so he's hardly some talentless guy who has people doing everything for him....nice try though.

Why is he on the show then, we all know it's for wannabees and has-beens?

As for writing his own material - the quality depends on the target audience. As his audience seems to be mainly brainless, sexist gangster wannabees and their mols, says it all.

Most of his material no doubt comes from that hugh chip he has on his shoulder, in part about his size, as he tries too hard too hard to prove he is a man - when both his behaviour and size suggest otherwise. He looks 12, acts 12 and thinks 12. Some gangster.

Let's just hope he doesn't transfer that chip from his shoulder to those of the gullible, easily influenced that are his target audience.
