Manchester City Forums

I thought you may play music for the love of it. Why did you play in a band? What motivated you? In the past you spoke about ambitions to get to number 32 in the singles charts. You even spoke of givin up your day job and playing full time. Did you just play to draw attention to yourself? Were you in a band to improve yourself as a musician? Was it to supplement your income? Did you think it would be a good way to pull chicks?

So, seeing as "everyone knows that" why the fuck do millions of people sit in front of the box and watch it? Who gives a fuck if its "manufactured bollocks", some of it can be good. Your cynicism and narrow-mindedness prevents you from listening to something you could potentially like, because you're afraid you may actually like it.

I'm not having that. Leona Lewis is a good singer. Hope she plays in Dublin on her upcoming tour. Liberty X (the losing members of the first pop idol uk show) made some good records. Kelly Clarkson has made some good records too.

I don't care if the music is "manufactured" or not. Last week I listened to the Shangri-Las on repeat play. They were managed by an evil svengali, had their songs written in the Brill Building and used backing musicians.

They also made some of the finest music you will ever hear and that is all that matters.

I'm probably a bit the same. Not a big fan but there's no denying some of it is class. I don't know a lot about it but I know enough to respect it.

As for the stuff you hear on mainstream radio, IMO almost all of it is absolute crap. But I will say every now and again there is a track that takes my fancy. Example: Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Outta My Head" from years ago is fucking genius, I don't care what anyone says.

Afro? Oh my god. I hate him. He was good on Saturday tbf but what does my head is all the fake emoting. The clenched fist, the eyes closed and all that. Same with that Danyl.

They both sang very well on Saturday night though, which annoyed me because i was saying how bad they were gonna be

Lucie or Olly ftw. Or maybe Joe.

I heart Olly. I love his dancing.

I had Jamie ftw before Saturday, but Olly's rendition of She's the One absolutely blew me away. Superb.
Glad the slags have gone, but how the fuck are the twins still in it?

The twins are fucking ace. Olly is a wanker. Am I the only one that can see it? Stacey ftw because she is just utterly hilarious

They'll be in for a while. They'll be the new Chico. They give people something to talk about because every week they will get through and every week people will say "what the fuck?".

I thought Jamie was poor right up until the last song at Simon's house (think he did Oasis?). Don't think he's got a very good voice at all so he relies on all that "come on!" stuff to the audience and fist clenching. Just my opinion of course, but he's not for me.

Ooooo Lloyd. He was brilliant on Saturday doing Cry Me A River. I'd say he and Lucie were my faves.

I love Lucie though

compliments, compliments. Any more for any more. it's far better to be called a smug twat, than be ignored. At least if you're called a smug twat you're hitting a nerve. Give me that anyday.

i wanted to play the kind of music that i wanted to play, but the others didn't want to do that, so i quickly tired of it.

If you don't want to be ignored you could stand in the street and shout at passing traffic or open your raincoat on the upper deck of a bus.

Seeking attention like this is sad.

it's all shite.

good god, i fucking hate that.

Do you like the Shangri-Las? How about The Temptations? Perhaps you like to have a listen to Dusty now and again.

I like The Ronettes, they were cool.

They didn't write their own music, they stood in a line and they used a backing band.

Thought this sort of thing was against your principles.
