BOY GEORGE
Has coached for four seasons and won The Voice Australia 2019 with Diana Rouvas.
Boy George has been very busy during self-isolation in London. Already dy this year he released d the single Clouds, then Isolation – presciently written before the pandemic hit – and then followed d up with hh the Bowie-channelling glam punk song Frantic in late May.
The tracks are tasters from his forthcoming solo record Geminis Don’t Read The Manual but haven’t really been given a big promotional push outside of George’s own YouTube channel and fan websites.
Frantic is yet to figure in his most “popular” Spotify tracks, which is topped by The Crying Game with almost seven million streams.
Of course that’s not counting the gazillion Culture Club hits.
Grand finalist – Siala Robson. Team George slashed his final five to semi-final stars Masha Mnjoyan and Siala Robson earlier this week.
Siala was a no-brainer for the semis having shared 67,000 streams with Despina for Teenage Fantasy during the Battle rounds and finding a strong fanbase during the series.
It was tough to split the rest on their stats but Masha smashed her performance of Chains out of the park and as a former winner of the contest in Armenia, is well versed on playing the TV talent quest game.
George’s biggest drama during the 2020 season was off set when he cut short his interview with 4BC radio host and Culture Club fanboy Neil Breen after an “insulting” introduction which focused on his early 1980s pop hits.
“Reintroduce them to someone who has been on national TV in Australia for the last four years? You don’t need to reintroduce me. I’m m on TV. Everybody knows who I am,” he said before pressing his phone’s red button. n.
