August 14, 20168 yr Actually very surprised that he's getting an album release, especially after his last single tanked at #56, and in fact none of his singles so far have made massive impact and not had very long shelf life. To be honest I don't find any of his solo stuff very interesting, just plain and bland, and totally forgettable. However I did really like 'The Wanted', they had some pretty great songs such as 'Glad U Came', 'All Time Low', 'Gold Forever' & 'Chasing The Sun', and it was a shame that after they hit their peak with 'GUC', they just seemed to go downhill and got overshadowed by One Direction. Which again was a shame as they had so much potential and if it weren't for terrible songs such as 'Walks Like Rihanna', 'We Own The Night' & 'Show Me Love (America)', there could have been room for both boybands and there could have been another boyband war like the good old days of 'Backstreet Boys' and 'N' Sync'. But yeah I do agree that none of them screamed solo star, they worked better as a group and it would be awesome if they came back with something incredible and they could have another chance at stardom.
August 14, 20168 yr He is in the same position as Aston from JLS, both the bands split in 2013 and are now launching/ releasing album proper 3 years on. I really want this to do well but who outside their fanbase and gay really remember or cared much about the wanted or even him. JLS though it make a bigger impact with the public and are probably better remembered and Aston could have done better with better songs and lots more promo. Anyway as I said its been 3 years since both disbanded and for both their last year was spent releasing crap and being overshadowed by 1D.
September 30, 20168 yr He's so cute and adorable, but his solo music is pretty meh. I loved The Wanted, and they had music I preferred the most out of any boyband. Well actually, the iTunes previews sound pretty decent, but I obviously liked The Wanted's style much more.
October 1, 20168 yr Famous is ok but it doesn't really stand out enough. He will struggle with his album and probably vanish into obscurity after this. The wanted's music was definitely a lot stronger.

October 4, 20168 yr I'm really enjoying everything released since (and including) 'Give It Up', really don't understand why everything he releases bombs (or underperforms - iro 'Over and Over Again'), considering the Global spamming and all...
October 4, 20168 yr His new song sounds just like R Kelly's 'If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time'.

I think potentially, because of the link with Global, it can hinder his support on other channels ie. Bauer & BBC radio stations. The support from Capital & Heart is great and very important but you need support from across the board which other artists get who are not linked to a particular radio group.
October 5, 20168 yr His new song sounds just like R Kelly's 'If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time'. I agree, it's so similar, lucky it will never smash and R Kelly will probably never get a chance to hear it!
October 5, 20168 yr #96 in the mids for 'Famous' :blink: Yet #24 on iTunes...wow streaming really has changed everything.
October 14, 20168 yr ^^ And Iv just gone into iTunes and both versions are availble to download now? That was a glitch. Available from 11th of November.
November 8, 20168 yr I agree, it's so similar, lucky it will never smash and R Kelly will probably never get a chance to hear it! :kink: Looking very likely to crack the top 40 soon! 16 on iTunes and that's before the XF performance!
