Why is it that Sam Smith is a bit of a 'media darling' ?
A few months ago a fan took a photo of him and his security team were nasty to her and the media go along with this ridiculous thing where they call him a "they"
Here is a snippet of a story about him in the Daily Mail recently...
For god sakes, it sounds like we are talking about 2 or more people, it's ridiculous and they are even using this language in my daughters school,
My biggest issue with Sam Smith being a media darling though... is his song... 'Promises'
Over the last few years, a lot of media attention has been on the attacks women suffer etc, whether that's unwanted touching, sexual abuse, sexual comments, domestic abuse, murder etc... and that's a good thing because it happens a lot and sadly people get away with it.
So, lets have a look at the opening 10 words of Sam Smith's song, Promises...
Are you drunk enough - not to judge what I'm doing ??? There are people out there who feed women drinks to get them so drunk that they can grope them down an alley and hope they don't notice, There are also people out there who spike women's drinks and wait until they are out of it enough not to be awares of what's happening to them.
For some reason Sam Smith can use that line in a song and there's no outcry - but any other male singer - most likely be criticised and told 'you're supposed to be a role model to the youth's'
Every time I hear that opening line I cringe... but I do wonder how it makes women who have been sexually assaulted feel.

"Sam Smith cut a very stylish figure on Thursday as THEY attended"
"THEY added a pair of smart black trousers and elevated THEIR height in a pair of black heeled boots"
