Is it good or just hear say?

"The tremendous success of hear say in the UK can mean only one thing. Long term PAIN for my ear drums. But before all you Americans start laughin this band has a lot of £££ sorry $$$ backing them and world wide domination is on the cards. With any look they will last less time than the Spice Girls did on their brief but unforgetable reign of terror. Callin the album "Popstars" is arrogant, I'd have called it "Popstars?" or "Flopstars" or even "Who the F*** do ya think your kiddin".The album is the usual assorted junk that you get with all manufactured bands, desperatly switching genres in a vain attempt to find one their good at. Before I become over critical I must admit that there first single Pure and Simple is not the worst song (it's second to Spice world). The rest of album is on the same level so if for som inane reason you liked it this album should be right up your demented little street"

Should be called BEEN'SAID...

"Bootleg All Saints or what? The single "Pure and Simple" is so "All Sainteque" I had to do a double take when I first heard it. As for the other songs, does the word mediocrity mean anything to anyone????? I'm sorry but I watched this atrocious phenomenon of Popstars take place in the UK and though I hoped something good would come out of it all I have admit my disappointment gene went into acute overdrive. It suffered major cardiac arrest I might add when their single "Pure and Simple" hit the UK charts and proceeded to end up in the Number One position, well there is no accounting for British taste, which is peculiar to say the least. Maybe I am being too harsh but even the Spice Girls who were as manufactured as they came had a distinct sound of their own. This group should have been called "BEEN'SAID" because it has, and that makes is all the more cringeworthy...."

Not again

"another manufactured pop band, another pop band for that matter and just more and more [stuff], repetitive and annoying music. This era of pop music has got to end and more bands like hear 'say, westlife etc are just giving music a bad name. DO NOT BUY THIS PLEASE."
