Raise your hand who remembers when in 2012 Gary Barlow dared to release one of the greatest impudence in the world of pop music through his mouth in X Factor, when when evaluating the performance of one of the contestants who had sung a version from Cher's epic 'Believe', he dared to say that "Believe has been one of the most irritating top 5 songs I've ever heard in my life". As expected, that comment went around the world and it was through Twitter that Cher herself learned of Barlow's claim. Cher, as huge as she is, answered with just four words: Who is Gary Barlow?
It is not a question of comparing Sam Smith's career with Cher's, as Sam Smith still has several hundred kilos of chococrispis to eat before he can catch up with Cher, but he does Smith has scored one of those very diva responses when asked about the Radiohead song 'Specter' that Thom Yorke presented as a candidate for the central theme of the James Bond film and that he published on the Internet for his followers.
It was at the press conference after the Golden Globes, on the 10th, when after winning the award for 'Writing's On The Wall', a journalist asked Sam Smith for his opinion about the subject 'Specter' of Thom Yorke, to which Smith responded with another question and pantojile airs: Thom Yorke? Jimmy Napes, Smith's regular contributor, responded: "Radiohead". The question, despite having been the winner of the Golden Globe, did not seem to sit well with him: "Personally, I have not listened to it, because I did the main theme of 'Specter'".
Really, Sam Smith ?? If Ylenia had been asked about the singles of the great sisters this summer, she would surely have answered better, with all due respect to Ylenia, here a server is a fan. I think that Smith missed a golden opportunity to have been like a gentleman, and not that he preferred to sound like a jilted artist. Does this answer by Smith seem like an unfortunate failure to you? Me. I leave you the video of the moment in question below.
you @samsmithworld listened to Radiohead's #Specter theme song? #GoldenGlobes https://t.co/nFDaxEIFaQ
