Boy George pulls out of Jesus Christ Superstar
Boy George has been pulled off a West End performance days before he was set to take the stage as his manager scrambles to minimise backlash to a pro-Israel song 👇
BarefootFi4I’m old enough to remember Boy George singing “war is stupid”. He seemed like an intelligent, reasonable person now I wonder who the fuck he is and what fancy friends are influencing him.
Andrew Quinn🏳️🌈🏴🇬🇧🏴🇵🇸🤘🏻😸2'minimize' backlash?! Once you've openly supported torture, murder, war crimes and genocide I don't there is any 'minimisation' to be done. Anyone even standing in the same room as him must feel dirty by association.

Following the backlash against his AI-generated Pro-Israel song, Boy George will no longer be in the production of 'Jesus Christ Superstar' at London Palladium

The Integer Overflow Climate Project3shocked to learn the hack writing pro-IDF anthems completely unforced is a bad person
Morgan GD2....well I learnt something unpleasant today. Had no idea.
John Lubbock2I mean you just have to conclude from this that he believes some people aren’t human beings who are equally worthy of the rights we are.
La canción de reggae pro-Israel del cantante pop británico Boy George, publicada en su cuenta X el fin de semana pasado, ha causado furor en internet. El mánager del cantante dijo que lo estaba retirando de un papel en "Jesucristo Superstar" en "el mejor interés de mi artista".

RanV3"ha causado furor" té connotacions positives, d'atraure molt l'atenció. "caused a furor", al contrari, és negatiu: vol dir que s'ha muntat bronca.

Here's one that MIGHT irritate some 80s kids. Boy George wasn't that great a singer. He had a limited range (all the best parts were done by Helen Terry!) and his "soulful" affectation was just that -- an affectation. He got by on his image and the band's arrangements propping him up.
Thomas K. Dye4I mean, honestly, there are only three C Club songs I still enjoy: "Time (Clock of the Heart)" because it's a well-written song, "Miss Me Blind" because it's catchy and has a killer middle section, and "Move Away" because it's propulsive and sort of fun.
Sandwich “Ham” Frankenstein1theory: Boy George's reputation is artificially bolstered by how easy it is to sing Culture Club songs. They're all simple and singsongy and he was a tenor with a range of about six notes. It's hard not to harmonize with your boys and not feel a little good about the guy who facilitated that
