This is one of the most original bands ever created. They worked really hard to get were they are... for all of 3months. They had to play tiny venues for beer money...never. They spent years learning how to play instruments...such as the recorder at school, then forgot everything they learnt. They spent every day of their lives on tour in a mini before even playing to more than...oh no wait. They struggled with what rhymes with...lyrics? What are lyrics? Oh the preprocessed garbage that we are forced to spew out on stage every now again when we're not all over the televeision. But wait that was BEFORE we had even made a record, god i miss those days when we could be famous for doing jack shit. Whilst people were sweating their guts out in tiny pub venues not even getting paid. This is what is wrong with the music industry. So hear'say had to work hard for their spot in the band did they? I'm sure, go talk to any other band that had to play 7 nights a week to survive. Manufacturer bands should be illegal and Hear'say should be made to start from the begining and see if they actually get anywhere. There are plenty of bands that don't have enough money to eat tonight that are more talented and out more effort in than Hear'say.
Ok So I've had my say on how much i had the fact that this band are manufacturer to the nth degree. However, the marketing that was put behind this band was nothing short of genius. They knew the public would love it and the kids would beg for the CDs. However, unluckily for these kids, they will look back on the first record they ever bought to find "Pure and Simple" By Hear'say. Ah well. Although they may be manufactured and i hate that, this is a formula that has worked several times in the pop catagory, so there is no reason it shouldn't work again.
And it does, "Popstars" is a very good pop album, it show cases the individual's singing talents and won't disappoint the
fans of the series. There seem to be dance and RnB influences on this album "One Step Close" and "Another Lover," but how a band that are given songs to sing can be influenced? I think the answer is that we also need to give credit to the song writers for this album. This is so rarely done with pop bands as people don't really want to think of their favourite band as cheapskates. However, bands can still be good and not write their own songs if they're talented (Incubus for example.)
Ok, I personally hate this album, but if your into the occasional pop song and a little RnB, dance etc check it out, you should enjoy it. Just stay away from "Rock DJ" influenced "one" as it is cheese beyond the mould.

I personally quite like ranty ops, I think they're funny. BJ is right though, being informative when you pick something adds a little bit of credability to the op. I hate blowing my own trumpet and would personally slate anyone else for doing it but since I don't know of any other similar ops I'll recommend you read my op about the manic street preachers
