Gotta Be You is not crap, it sounds so anthemic and amazing! I really don't understand the hate for it. :( But yes, Kiss You is miles ahead of anything else they've ever done. :D

 

01 Kiss You

02 One Thing

03 Gotta Be You

========

04 What Makes You Beautiful (one of the most overrated songs ever but it's grown on it ever since it was released! ^_^)

05 Live While We're Young

06 One Way Or Another (Teenage Kicks)

========

07 Little Things (:puke:)

Anthemic?! The chorus is so whiny!

 

The strong verses and the instrumental makes up for it though. :wub:

1. What Makes You Beautiful

2. Kiss You

3. One Thing

 

4. Live While We're Young

5. One Way or Another (Teenage Kicks)

 

6. Little Things

7. Gotta Be You

 

Yeah, they should stick to upbeat songs. They are genuinely a bit of a guilty pleasure even at their best, but I still genuinely LOVE What Makes You Beautiful though, Possibly one of best boyband songs of the 21st Century.

Rate

 

01. Kiss You (This is actually quite decent)

02. One Way Or Another (This has grown since listening in HQ)

03. Little Things (A little dull, but listenable)

04. What Makes You Beautiful (Great when it first came out, bored of it now)

05. Live While We're Young (Got boring really quickly)

06. One Things (Awful)

07. Gotta Be You (Even Shirlena Johnson's mulling of Mercy is better than this tripe)

From a hater perspective...

 

01 Kiss You (actually very good and I've considered getting it on occasions)

-----

02 What Makes You Beautiful (listenable on radio but wouldn't voluntarily listen to it)

03 Live While We're Young (tolerable as a last resort on radio if there's nothing else to listen to)

-----

04 One Thing (boring, skip if this came up)

-----

05 Little Things (Dull as f*ck, would rather watch paint dry)

06 One Way Or Another (Way to ruin a classic! Belongs in the metaphorical musical bin)

-----

07 Gotta Be You (Even duller as f*ck, I would rather jump off a cliff)

1- Kiss You

2 - One Thing

3 - Live While Were Young

4 - Little Things

5 - What Make You Beautiful

6 - One Way Or Another

One Thing

Live While We're Young

Kiss You

What Makes You Beautiful

One Way Or Another

 

The other two are just terrible, not list worthy. :coffee:

How this song is popular at all is a mystery to me

Surely the key is the band's name? :kink:

 

And the fact that it's a very good cover, of course.

It's a good fun pop song with great production. I'm not surprised it's doing so well, as if it was going to be anything but #1. These boys are the biggest act in the world right now, anyone that doesn't agree me with me is in another reality.
They are huge right now, there i no denying that. Im not a fan of their music myself but i like seeing them do well for some reason, maybe is because my daughter adores them so i probably like to see them do well as it keeps her happy. The single should have big first week sales, its nice seeing them rack up the number 1 hits now it kinda makes all the hype around them more believable if that makes sense. Even though the track isnt on the album i sense a deluxe release coming for their latest album to help boost its sales even further and they have the fan base who would go out again and buy the album.

1. Kiss You :wub:

2. One Thing

-----

3. What Makes You Beautiful (still a stonking debut single, can't deny it)

-----

 

 

4. Live While We're Young (I suppose it is catchy, I can just about tolerate it now)

5. Little Things (a few cringeworthy lyrics, particularly the "not being able to sleep if you drink a cup of tea" line but it's... well, average)

 

 

6. One Way Or Another (sorry, it is just not a good cover version at all. It's practically 'Walk This Way' bad)

 

 

 

 

7. Gotta Be You :puke: Not a single redeeming quality.

Gotta Be You's fantastic, to be fair.

 

My list (quite hard to call, really!):

 

1. Kiss You

2. Live While We're Young

3. One Thing

4. Little Things

5. Gotta Be You

6. What Makes You Beautiful

7. One Way Or Another (unfortunate, but it's their least favourite of mine)

Like the song as much as you like but "anthemic"? Really? :blink:

 

I'd say

 

VERY GOOD (IN TERMS OF DISPOSABLE POP)

 

01 What Makes You Beautiful

 

OK

 

02 One Thing

03 Live While We're Young

 

AVERAGE

 

04 Kiss You

 

SHIT

 

05 One Way Or Another

06 Little Things

07 Gotta Be You

 

Aww. Poor 1D! They can never quite catch a break. :lol: They've won me over a lot recently, but I can't say I'm too big a fan of this cover. I don't think it's "abysmal" like some people like to think it is, I just think it's pretty boring and standard OneDirection singing Blondie on Karaoke, which is what was and should have been expected.

 

They have some proper pop corkers though!

 

EXCELLENT:

01. 'Kiss You'

02. 'Little Things'

03. 'More Than This'

03. 'What Makes You Beautiful' [i wasn't the biggest fan of this upon it's release, but I have warmed to it so much! I was never, not going to love it really.]

04. 'Live While We're Young'

---

GOOD. BUT BORING:

05. 'One Thing'

06. 'One Way Or Another'

---

TERRIBLE:

07. 'Gotta Be You' [What on Earth were they thinking in releasing this as "the big ballad" release, when they had 'More Than This'!?]

The reason I don't like the cover is because the production is so messy, all over the place - it sounds like some karaoke cover.
Went into one today and they're apparently not getting them in til Monday, well, that's what the shop assistant thought. :drama:

I thought it was supposed to be available in store this Monday (18th) :huh: Well, that's what they say on their website.
