Craig David says Pete Doherty has talent but needs help

Craig David tells The Star that Pete Doherty is incredibly talented but needs help, and says Eminem is a true poet whose song 'Stan' is one of the best ever.

Well, Pete Waterman may say that Pete Doherty has no talent, but luckily, he's got Craig David in his corner. The R&B star says that the Babyshambles frontman has talent, but that too much approbation and not enough tough love will bring about his demise if he's not careful. According to The Star, David said "I think Pete Doherty is incredibly talented. I watched him on a documentary and was mesmerised. He's a distinguished musician and brilliant at playing his guitar. It's a shame no-one has shaken him and said, 'Wake Up'. I feel sorry for the glorifying around him. He needs help."

Meanwhile, speaking about Eminem's alleged retirement (which Eminem is denying, by the way) David continued: "It's such a shame. He's a true poet. 'Stan' is one of the best songs ever made. I hope he takes a break and comes back."

Which I think may be the plan, actually.
