I think all their UK promo is being done in advance as they'll be in the States for release week.

 

:)

On XF next weekend, and hopefully they'll be performing this (not that it'll do anything to save it however).

They are performing Steal My Girl, they already recorded it today.

I wonder why they're not showing the performance on album release week?

It won't turn it into a million seller or anything but will absolutely help it have more longevity! Story of My Life reached a new peak with an XF performance, not sure this will but it could perhaps go top 5 again.

They need a better release strategy. I've actually grown to really like this song. Story of My Life Na Steal My Girl could have easily been number 1s if they waited until their X factor performance and AirPlay to peak. It's not good that The Saturdays have had a number 1 more recently than them lol.

How will it not? :unsure:

The Saturdays getting a #1 is probably down to their strategy of releasing during the stalest week of the year.

It's a joke, the saturdays are flops and 1D aren't, which is why they should have managed a more recent number 1 single.

And in all fairness, at the time, What About Us was the fastest selling song of the year.

 

Love this remix!

Really liking 'Steal My Girl' at the moment. The video is so good!

Live at Wetten dass?

I wasn't impressed with their performance on The X Factor. :( It was just so meh.

 

I'm losing some of my enthusiasm for them as an act now, because to me they've become complacent - at least their performances are giving off that vibe. The music keeps getting better but they themselves are getting worse. I don't think that performance in any way demonstrated or justified why they're as big as they are.

It was a complacent performance and the new image is vile.

It struck me while watching their X Factor performance that them being there is probably more beneficial to the show than the show is to them. Obviously they'll welcome the boost to the single and pre-orders of the album that the performance is generating but they're such a big name/brand now that it almost seems like it's a major coup for producers to book them for a slot. Incredible to think they were third placed contestants on that very show four years ago!

 

Other than that, I agree with Jay's post entirely about it being underwhelming (but then I feel the exact same thing could have been said about Cheryl's performance minus the 'music is getting better' part! :kink:)

Yeah definitely - given their status now they should be performing at major awards shows all the time, but instead they're being grounded to an annual XF performance and a few elsewhere while also touring. :lol:

 

The other thing about that performance is the whole thing was just so messy - they were walking around the stage bumping into each other and not knowing who was supposed to be where and when. ugh. :(

Their attitude against putting on a performance is getting very tiresome now. Like I understand they don't want to be doing N*Sync/JLS style dance routines (and lord knows they would look shit doing that anyway!) but I would like some sort of organisation to their live efforts. And some background dancers/visual aids really would just elevate their performances and bring a whole new freshness to it. As much as I would love to see them live, I totally agree with Jay (I think it was Jay that said it) that once you've been once, there's not a lot to draw you back year after year.

^ Yeah exactly. It's baffling how there's so little effort put into their live shows these days. I would have thought a new album campaign would bring a new aesthetic/production values but no. They must be insanely profitable considering how little it costs to promote them!
