Voice UK judge Boy George backflips on 2013 quotes dissing the same show
Just two years ago Boy George dissed
The Voice through social media. Now he is a judge on the UK series on BBC One.
In 2013 he tweeted, “
The Voice, it’s a TV show and these pointless vocal battles are proof that it’s nothing to do with creativity or growing! It’s drama!”
The show’s official social media account replied, “Thanks for watching,” to which Boy George responded ‘Well, I am paying for it!'”
After one of his followers asked, “U didnt get asked to be a judge then?” Boy George told them, “Yeah, consider yourself judged & blocked!”
When another suggested the genuine artists were just there to try and give the show credibility, he replied, “And they all have stuff to promote!”
The comments contradicts a statement he made last week after it was announced he would be joining the show: “I’m thrilled and excited to be a coach on
The Voice UK. I’m a huge fan of the show and have watched and engaged with it from series one. If I can help someone to win I will be delighted. What a wonderful opportunity to share my experiences and help someone move forward with their musical career. I can’t wait to sit in that chair!”
A spokesperson told
The Sun, “This was obviously banter. George is clearly passionate about the show and won’t be holding back on his opinions when he is in the studio.”
Or even the stuff he has to promote…?
