Boyband/Girlbands Reviews

M'lud, learned counsel, ladies and gentlemen of the jury... I represent the peoples of the western world, against which this heinous crime has been committed. I will seek to demonstrate beyond all reasonable doubt the clear wrong that has been done and name the guilty parties. When I am finished you will have little option but to ...

I think the Popstars series highlighted just how blatant the music industry is these days. And it will do what it jolly well wants to make a buck. I was hopeing even the most gullible of pop fans might have seen this series that the music industry are telling them what to do and buy, when they tell em. But as with there label clothing and ...

OK... this is my opinion on boy 'bands' and girl 'bands'. In my opinion they suck. They are crap. They are useless pieces of garbage. That opinion is irrelevant. I understand that. Everyone has their own taste. However I have to draw the line somewhere, and the latest teenybop sensations have crossed it ...

I think we all have seen on Popstars for those who watched just how desperate and contrived pop music has become and how far young people will go to be famous for fithteen minutes. It also shows just how much control the big music companies have over the pop buying gullable public. Boy and girl bands offer the lowest economies of scale to ...

help! I know I`m old and jaded but please spare us all from any more of these clones, it doesn`t matter if they are boys or girls. surely no more songs can be written that are vaguely lyrical enough to warrent a so called number 1 spot. Whats that all about?how can a song be number 1 when its only just come out? ...

Ever since I heard Broken Home in America I haven't stopped listening to it. Their brand of music is unlike anything popular over here. Therefore if you enjoy the sounds of Westlife and Britney Sprears this album is not for you. however if every time you hear these bands you want to break something then this album brings light relief. The best ...

Oh no if the boy/girlband scene couldn't get worse we then have a program on TV to find 5 young people to make up a new pop group!!! Oh for goodness sake this is ridiculous whatever happened to real muscians, singers and singer/songwriters. I only watched a few moments of the last couple of episodes as I couldn;t have ...

Having read a large number of opinions which launch vitriolic attacks against boy bands and girl bands, I think I will step in and try to give a more open minded opinion. Firstly I’d just like to state that I don’t actually like pop music as it stands when it comes from these bands. Give me some indie or rock every day. ...

Boy and Girl bands then. So much to say, so little time to say it in! For by the time you have finished reading this opinion, 1 boy and 1 girl band will have been delivered to the eternal pit of "Do you remember them?" Well lets face it, just look at that old picture there and they've been summed up....cheesy, now ...

I used to think that at some time, if you kept putting more of the same thing into a category, you would eventually reach saturation point...but it would appear not. It does not seem to matter just how many of these boy/girl bands there are, the music buying public never seems to get bored with them. Perhaps its the music...but more likely its the ...

The question that taxes us quietly concerned citizens of the music consumer world is, does the qulity of girlband/boyband pop have to be so low or are we getting ripped off in every way. Of course as long as pop music has existed these groups have been flying out of the music marketing monster, fresh, unoffensive and prepackaged for ...

Boy bands/girl bands - a veritable can of worms. Whilst I would be one of the first to admit that a lot of girl/boy band 'music' is hyped up, annoying rubbish, there are some merits to it. I could argue that old bands used to play proper music and actually play instruments as well as sing (gosh - what a lot of talent in one small ...

Boy bands. Girl Bands. AARRRGGGGH!We have all had enough of them now. 75% of them sound the same. Half of those release old 70's and 80's songs as covers as they cant write their own material. The ones that perform original material have all had it written for them. They can sing, true. Well some of them. They can stand on stage ...

The Beatles were, unarguably, a boy band. However, the difference between them and such manufactured pop acts as Westlife, Five and to some extent Take That, is that the Beatles wrote great songs and all of them could sing. Even the drummer. As for girl bands - well I suggest the Bangles and Bananarama were girl bands, both of whom ...

To quote Eminem "I'm sick of all you girl and boy groups, all you do is annoy me" The current trend for these manufactured bands gas gotten way out of control. There should be some law against this wide spread disease. These species breed like wildfire inflicting annoying and lifeless music on innocent ears. In all ...

Boybands and Girlbands, God I hate then and I’m including Robbie Williams in this category, because to me he’s just as or more irritating than these boybands. OK, first things first I hate chart music and I hate dance music, I just isn’t real music, real music is played with musical instruments, like the guitar or drums or bass ...

I THINK THAT WE HAVE MORE THAN ENOUGH BOY AND GIRL BANDS WHY DO WE NEED ANY MORE.FOR INSTANCE THERE IS BOYZONE WHO SEEM TO BE GOING THERE SEPARATE WAYS(IHOPE),WESTLIFE WHO I THINK ARE NOT TO BAD BECAUSE THEY DONT DANCE ABOUT LIKE MANIACS AND CAN SING GOOD, THEY WILL BE AROUND FOR A LONG WHILE YET.THERE IS THE BACKSTREET BOYS, WHO LIKE N SYNC DANCE ...

If you want to talk about people being manipulated for a buck look to the boys and girls that have been told that they have talent. Bands, these are far from bands. Instead they are a marketing COMMODITY! Milli Vinnili was by no means the first, or last, talentless act that relies on looks instead of any type of musical talent. They ...

The Spice Girls/ Westlife v Beatles/Queen/ (No competition) I do like my music, I wouldn?t say I knew everything about music. But, I think I am a good judge of good music. With Bob the Builder being the Christmas number one, it seems to have followed a trend with the likes of Mr. Blobby, Teletubbies all getting to number one in ...

We've seen them come and we've seen many of them go. I personally am a fan of Garage music along with RnB and find that these types of music the types I like don't seem to be getting all the hype and getting into the charts like they should. Instead we get one time pop band's like Hanson or Girl Thing all over the ...
