Who are "people like me"? Straight white men who insist on wearing dresses for attention?

Like, was he deliberately trolling Twitter? Because that's the only remotely sensible explanation for this comment.
You can't even blame woke Twitter for going off on him. He literally begged for it.

Oh no, Will there be race riots?
I think he meant it never happens that a pop star like him wins.

You have NO idea how hard it is for us good looking, straight white men, OP.
It's hard. Really really hard. Like SO hard.
We never win anything ever.
I stand with other straight white men like me who came before - Timberlake, Bruce, Buble, Mayer, Bolton - who struggled to achieve half of what I did tonight. Standing on the shoulder's of giants indeed.

He probably meant being British. Winning AOTY is a big deal so cut him a little slack. I don't think it was coming from a place of privilege or ignorance.
And I'm not a Harry Styles fan.

Harry seems like a genuinely sweet guy, so I doubt he meant any harm; however, it’s too bad he didn’t think of something else to say in that moment.

I think he just means ‘middle class lads from Cheshire’. It doesn’t matter that he’s been a world famous star for about half his life! 🙄

I wish all the cranky old coots like OP would just die off already. I'm tired of DL being weighed down by their constant whining that things aren't the same as they were back in 1978. Or, in cases like this -- a straight guy who wears dresses -- they're EXACTLY like they were back in 1978, but said coots are so old and scared and rotten to the core that they're pretending otherwise.

He didn't win Britain's Got Talent, R1. One Direction were runners-up.

What a stupid thing to say. 'People like me' as if being a straight, white, middle class man from one of the richest countries in the world somehow put him in some oppressed category.

I really hope someone does ask him because I can’t think of a single category he fits into that would make that statement true.

Shocked he won. But he's sold a good many albums and the teenyboppers are vested in him. (As are gay men, many of whom vote for Best Album.)

Relax Harry. The White guy still runs things and will always run things. That’s not going to change.

I imagine he means an ex boy bander known for frothy throw away pop who took part in reality TV show. He is also a bit of a basic Northern lad or was when he started out. In reality he probably isn’t the sort who usually wins awards.

I honestly kind of admire the dedication to pissing people off. The moment they said his name he must have known Beyonces lunatic fanbase were out for his blood. Did he try to defuse the situation? No. He chose to phrase his acceptance speech in such a perfect way that it was the equivalent of throwing oil on a fire.

I think it means he doesn’t think of himself as the kind of guy who would win a big award. No matter how successful he has been, he doesn’t really feel like it.

That's right, r40, it's all been done before, by real artists, not manufactured crap like Styles.

I don’t think he won the award because he is a white man. If anything, that might count against him these days.

"People like me" means not his not being a fat-ass non-talent moronic woman who sucks up awards like a 5 dollar truck stop whore because she's black and wears big wigs and clothes inappropriate for her age and dimensions.

I like Beyoncé and wish she had gotten the big award of the night, too, but she still won plenty, so no harm done. I’m happy for Harry and don’t think he should get shit about this.

No matter what he said people would be after his ass. Unless he said Queen Bey deserves this award and then gave it to her. That would be ok.

R40, Did Michael, Prince, or David ever wear dresses, though? MJ liked gussied-up military; Prince liked the Scarlet Pimpernel but in purple; and Bowie was a Glam Alien.
Harry, however, has done the cross-dressing gig.
| by Anonymous | reply 53 | February 6, 2023 7:33 PM |
The first dozen or so pics on this search are Bowie in dresses. In the 70s, ffs.
I don't dislike Styles, but he's not exactly a trailblazer.

Harry is hardly doing anything radical, r53, and he's being ever-so-fashionably and inauthentically "gender fluid" rather than cross-dressing. He plays no role in the creation of this look and is wearing whatever Gucci trash the trash just-sacked ex-Gucci designer, Alessandro Michele, and his shit stylist, Harry Lambert, put him in.

Say what you want about old crazy Madonna but she's twice the pop star of Beyonce and Harry, combined. And Madonna mid career dance album Confessions was great, unlike that tuneless forgettable crap Beyonce released in 2022.
