By now, everyone is fully aware that Example is the gobbiest bloke in all of pop, after fights with The Saturdays, Alexandra Burke and Cher Lloyd. But this time it’s the boys Example is laying in to, in the shape of Will Young and his new single Jealousy.
“He’s had his moment, hasn’t he?” he says. “That song’s awful. That song should be on Songs Of Praise. It’s awful.” (At this point, we’re going to wade in and declare our stance on Jealousy… it’s AMAZING, so yah boo sucks).
But it wasn’t all nasty, because he said Will was actually credible. Once.
“Will Young has had his moment,” he adds. “He was good, he was one of the only credible people to come off that show – what was it called, Popstars?” Oh dear.
One pop type who scores highly on Example’s chart of good is Dappy from NDubz, who he says is “superb”.
“Dappy is an incredible songwriter,” he says. “I think NDubz are a bit marmite for some people. I think Dappy’s great, his melodies are superb. There aren’t many young pop acts who write their own stuff and NDubz genuinely do write and produce their own stuff which I think gives them integrity.”
Well that’s nice, isn’t it?
