April 29, 201015 yr The club is alive with the sound of music is the chorus lyric apparently. :rofl: :rofl: I've heard it at now! I could probably sing it without ever hearing it.
April 29, 201015 yr Author Even as a fan I'm not sure if I will like this judging by the title.. but I guess I'll just wait till I hear it
April 30, 201015 yr Author Popjustice Review of the song http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option...&Itemid=206 Wow excited to hear this now.. Not really sure what to expect though Also interesting to read that Justin Bieber wanted to record One Shot Main points The song is based on an idea by v good songsmith Savan Kotecha; Steve Mac and Andrew Frampton are also on board. The idea is that the chorus takes Rodgers & Hammerstein's 'The Sound Of Music' (NO WAIT COME BACK) but has the boys singing "the club is alive with the sound of music". It's a terrible idea executed brilliantly. Maybe it's a brilliant idea executed brilliantly - to be honest it doesn't really sound anything like the original 'Sound Of Music' tune but it's enough of a talking point to make the single feel like something of an event and a step up for the band which, considering 'One Shot' is still all over the place, is probably quite fortunate. It sounds big. Actually it sounds massive: there are some perfunctory lyrics about "shawties all around", "out with my boys", "I can be the DJ you can be the dancefloor you can get up on me" (you've heard all this a million times before) but the song's secret weapon is its mental production, piledriving beats and more than a slight hint of the kitchen sink. 'The Club Is Alive' is basically JLS doing Black Eyed Peas - it sounds like an international Number One rather than just a UK one and immediately drags JLS' musical output up to the level of their current profile. Over the last few months the band's success has begun to exceed the quality of their debut album, some of which was really quite duff, and 'The Club Is Alive' restores equilibrium. Certain showbiz columnists might even describe the track as 'JLS club heaven' but something that cheesy would never even cross our minds.
April 30, 201015 yr I know PopJustice can't always be trusted, but I have changed my mind from "Please God, don't ever let me have the misfortune to hear this" to "This song can't leak fast enough".
May 4, 201015 yr Author Liked Broken Heels so excited to see this video now.. probably see it at end of the month/beginning of June
May 5, 201015 yr Author First Play of the single is on Monday apparently Bigtop40 tweet Looks like you're going to start hearing JLS' new single 'The Club Is Alive' on the radio from Monday!! #bigtop40
May 5, 201015 yr If its more 'One Shot' rather than 'Everybody In Love' / 'Beat Again' then I think I could see myself quite liking it.
May 5, 201015 yr If its more 'One Shot' rather than 'Everybody In Love' / 'Beat Again' then I think I could see myself quite liking it. definately. OS >>>>> BA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. EIL
May 5, 201015 yr I do quite like JLS, but to be honest, there entire album is a bit bland IMO. But: EIL>>>>>Beat Again=One Shot
May 5, 201015 yr If this is as good as One Shot, then I'll like it, but if it's anything like Beat Again, or Everybody In Love, I won't, as I found those songs very boring. I'm a bit interested about this though: "'The Club Is Alive' is basically JLS doing Black Eyed Peas". This could mean it will be very different to their old stuff. But it will make them the umpteenth artist this year who are creating their music based upon the success of the Black Eyed Peas last year. Not that I blame them to be honest. If it does sound like a BEP song, I'll probably really like it.
May 7, 201015 yr i just heard a bit of it, i dont like it. i'm sure it will do well though :) http://www.jlsofficial.com/gb/songs/the-club-is-alive/ Edited May 7, 201015 yr by X gunners X
May 7, 201015 yr So this sounds absolutely foul. You said it. Absolutely awful based on that clip. :puke2:
May 7, 201015 yr I find it ok after that, mabye a tad annoying, but I reckon itll be a guitly pleasure for me
May 7, 201015 yr Sounds like it brings a whole new meaning to the word 'generic'. Surprised PopJustice were praising it!
May 7, 201015 yr Author I hated it on first listen.. but its a real grower. Its really catchy and will probably like it much better once I hear the full thing on Monday
