Congratulations to Shayne for having the highest new chart entry for Stand by Me… at No. 14.

 

We know that is an achievement, but we also know that Shayne will be disappointed, and so are we. He is an absolutely amazing singer but the songs do not get enough people excited enough to go out and buy the singles. It also means, disappointingly, that the millions of people who voted for him on X Factor are deserting him. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

 

On the X Factor, his best performance, (except for If You Not the One, which we all agree was amazing) were all up-tempo: Cry me a River, Take your Mama, the Darkness.

 

We remember him preparing for Cry me a River on Xtra Factor …and Ben on camera saying, “did anyone know that Shayne had those moves?†Everyone was excited by it…he could sing…he could dance.. He looked amazing…so WHAT HAS HAPPENED?

 

On the X Factor tour he wowed us with his performances, especially of Take Your Mama. He was the Shayne we had come to know and love from the X Factor: dynamic, sexy, hugely charismatic. But this isn’t getting across now, WHY NOT?

 

Then No Promises got to No. 2, most likely on the back of his X Factor success and X Factor tour performance. Three months later, SBM, is released and virtually receives no airplay. The fact that it reached No. 14 with no airplay is absolutely amazing… evidence of Shayne’s loyal fanbase.

 

The problem is not with Shayne- he’s singing is awesome, but as Simon once said, you are filling a Ferrari with diesel! The songs have to be simply outstanding to expose him to a wider non X Factor audience, a fact that you have seemed to miss entirely.

 

You seem to think that Shayne’s audience is only interested in ballads. Do you know who Shayne’s audience is? Because we are not all adolescents, or female.

 

Look at the other music threads on this forum. Has anyone at Sony done that, to see what appeals to Shayne fans? Although Shayne’s young fans are very important and have an important part to play in his success, his fanbase is much broader than that..and yet we all want something different!

 

Petition:

 

 

WHAT SHAYNE’S FANS WANT.

 

We want him to dress like a 21 year old.

 

We want to see his personality come through more in his clothes and in his music.

 

We want him to sing up-tempo songs.

 

We want those songs to translate into sexy performances on video.

 

We also want him to sing power ballads, because he sings them so well, but not exclusively!

 

We want to see Shayne interviewed in media targeted at a broader market, not exclusively teenage and not exclusively female.

 

We want you to stop cloning Shayne into a Westlife clone. Some of us like Westlife and appreciate their music but that doesn’t mean we want Shayne to become one of them!

 

We want the Shayne we be what we know he is capable of being: dynamic and sexy, with an “edge†the Shayne we voted for after seeing “Cry me a Riverâ€.

 

We want Shayne to grow and develop as an artist and to have a long successful career.

 

For that he needs critical acclaim, something he is not going from the current batch of songs.

 

We want to see this amazing young man develop to be the next UK pop music superstar. We know he is capable of it, he is the “whole packageâ€. We know that if he is allowed to be himself and allowed to shine, he will achieve what he has always wanted and so richly deserves.

And we will be behind him every step of the way. LET HIM SHINE!

What Shayne did on X-Factor was "in the style of".

Edited August 19, 200618 yr by munchkin

It's not just Shayne! What everyone does on these shows is what the voice coaches and mentors allow them to do.

I must say I agree with all of the points made in that article, they're cloning him which is going to cut his career in half.

And yet I read in the TV Times that Simon is not looking for a Shayne Ward clone. He found a clone of Justin Timberlake in the last X-Factor and tried to turn him into a crooner.

We want you to stop cloning Shayne into a Westlife clone. Some of us like Westlife and appreciate their music but that doesn’t mean we want Shayne to become one of them!

 

maybe he should stop the miming then, that would be a start :lol:

 

 

On the X Factor, his best performance, (except for If You Not the One, which we all agree was amazing) were all up-tempo: Cry me a River, Take your Mama, the Darkness.

 

 

he just copied the original artists he added nothing to them :blink:

 

 

On the X Factor tour he wowed us with his performances, especially of Take Your Mama. He was the Shayne we had come to know and love from the X Factor: dynamic, sexy, hugely charismatic. But this isn’t getting across now, WHY NOT?

 

now he is singing original tracks he as no one to copy ^_^

I ma dreaming of a white christmas

 

Their was a big article in today's Irish Sun with the title "SHAYNE WILL BE BIGGER THAN JUSTIN" :rolleyes:

 

I don't think it was in the UK edition so it might not be on the new -_-

 

Apperently he is in L.A recording 4 news singles which he hopes will break the US. -_-

 

It says that an Industry insider close to the star believes his first new single will place him above the former N-Sync frontman.

 

The source said "We don't have a title yet for the first single, but it is a side to Shayne you have never heard before"

 

"The only thing you could compare it to is Justin, but it is better than that"

 

The aricle goes on talking about him winning the X-Factor etc and the souce also says " Shayne's last single did really well but did'nt go to #1 so it gave us a kick up the backside. The result is this increadible new sound that is going to take the world by storm" :rolleyes:

 

 

 

Oh how I agree with those points -_-

'No Promises' was a beautiful emotional song one of my favourites of this year in fact despite it being a cover I played it so many times in one week it's unbelievable :lol:

Other than that I have no interest in him - he'll go the same way as all these other reality acts the minute the new winner is crowned he'll be in the bin so they can milk loads out of someone else - it's a vicious circle and people are so desperate for fame they'll let it happen so meh.

 

BAN REALITY TV SHOWS

 

That SHOULD be the petition.

BAN REALITY TV SHOWS

 

That SHOULD be the petition.

 

 

Such as Big Brother, Love Island, I'm a Celebrity etc etc. They are reality shows but X-Factor and Pop Idol are not - they are talent shows (whatever you think of the talent which emerges from the shows).

I mean scrap them all be them Big Brother, X Factor whatever.

We've got Will Young and we have Girls Aloud and Lemar. They're the only artists to still be standing from one of these things we don't need anymore.

They're all a con and a waste of time.

The don't want him to sing or wear what others tell him...but if they tell him it's alright?..they don't want him to be a Walsh Puppet..but it's alright if he's theirs?... :huh:

I agree with you. It is about time we had some decent programmes on the TV. Although I loved Pop Idol and have it on DVD! :yahoo:

 

I agree with all those points as well.

I agree with those points. I never really warmed to Shayne during X-factor, and his release since then have been very dull. However watching the X-factor recap program a couple of weeks ago remnded me of those up-tempo performances he did and what potential he really has with the correct material.

The sad thing is that he does not appear to be a song writer himself, amd seems happy to go along with what he is told and be come a one-man Westlife.

I will reserve judgment now unitl I hear this new sound...
