While I have a soft spot for 2000’s reswizzle job Diamonds Are Forever: The Remix Album, The Performance is certainly her most cohesive collection, this century at last. Take The Rhythm Divine for instance, a 1987 single with Swiss electronic duo Yello saw Shirl splitting more than a few octaves (see, she does have the range), and with the Associates’ Billy Mackenzie bringing up the rear it’s one of the great James Bond themes that never was. Even some of her more contemporary material has traded on the classic 007 tradition. Likewise, as fun as they are, for every Big Spender or Kiss Me, Honey Honey, Kiss Me, Shirley Bassey will always be remembered as the voice of Bond. Look them up, they’re called As I Love You and the double A-side Reach For The Stars/Climb Every Mountain, UK chart-toppers in 19 respectively. It doesn’t help that they’re seldom performed in her concerts either. Though it must have been frustrating for Shirl that her biggest pair of hits were No.1s before the ground zero that ushered in The Beatles and thus, are barely remembered except by the most avid aficionados. Though not a songwriter, thanks to her great pair of lungs she has at least put her interpretational imprint on some of the great classics of our time. Unlike Cilla, a ‘singer’ who ended up hosting downmarket television shows, at least DSB has the musical talent to back up her monstrous ego. By all accounts as hideously ugly on the inside as she was on the outside. There was only one person that upset crew more and that was the Cilla Black. You may or not to be surprised to learn that there’s a girl from Splott on the landscape: Shirley Bassey came in almost at the very top… of an avalanche of complaints about her bad temper and “demanding” nature. And the less said about Naomi Campbell the better. Looks like money and fame doesn’t buy manners after all. Someone’s going to need some aloe for that burn. He just grunted answers, no eye contact, no ‘please’ or ‘thank you’ and insisted on being met by special services - a real man of the people!!!” Think he was upset it was an all girl crew from LA to London”, Jon Bon Jovi is often “ignorant and nasty, with high heels on to make him look taller.” ‘Sir’ Bob Geldof? Oh, he’s a “rude, vile piece of humanity. Surprising no one, the late great Nina Simone certainly lived up to her fearsome reputation too: “There was someone who was a handful.”Įlton John was an “absolute misery. In the high maintenance stakes, Sinéad O’Connor was “barking mad”, Michael Jackson “completely insane” and Madonna “a bit precious we had to go through her PA to speak to her.” Up close she looks really really weird too.” Special ire was reserved for Joan Collins, who always “demands seat 1A and is cold and haughty. The Queen: “Goodness, she has a warm bottom if her seat was anything to go by.” Prince Philip was “hilarious! I loved him.” While surprising absolutely no one, Prince Andrew is just a “buffoon.”

In royal class, there were three that stood out: Now obviously all of this could be taken with a pinch of salt because any joe soap could login in and write any old nonsense about a celeb on a plane but because PPRuNe isn’t exactly Buzzfeed, I’m inclined to believe that most of the accounts are legit, especially when compared to various other assessments of said stars from a variety of sources on the ground.įor instance, Beyoncé was “sooo lovely!”, Halle Berry, star of Die Another Day and a couple of good films, “absolutely delightful”, while Barbara Windsor could be a tad unpredictable (“depends what mood she’s in”). Users of an airline staff forum site called PPRuNe asked cabin crew from around the world what their experiences with celebrities was like, but because this is the internet and people are only human, they of course didn’t hold back when listing their worst encounters.
