But you see this is what happens when people are anxious for Gary Barlow to give up lead altogether and hand it over to Mark! I think on their third and final album for Polydor - we'll see Gary Barlow just do one song and Mark do all the others!

I was talking about this quote and not about Julie. It seems to me very bitter. Owen has only four leads on the new album. Only one more as on BW!

 

As about why i was going out from TT forum had more to do with your calling of Robbie a karaoke-singer and Owen a munchin singer or something like that. I prefer more polite discusions.

 

And don't shout me about Julie... What the other TT-fans think about it? I am one - and i like it. Not as the best song but also not as the worst. But i like it. I could also bring a lot of TT fans who don't like a song or other one. And? Would you don't like a song anymore just because everybody else don't like it? Why on earth only because you despise a song should i think it is a bad one?

 

Sorry everybody - end of discussion here for me. :teresa:

Iris! At the end of the day. Take That are NOT the Beatles. U2 are not the Beatles ... even The Rolling Stones are not the Beatles. Nobody is the Beatles! Take That are an amusing band that produce one or two qurky and melodic tunes ... here and there. They fill a space! Lets be thankful for what we have! But Julie is still a pile of pants!

I agree with those who say 'I'd Wait For Life' from Take That's last album was an apalling choice of single. 'Reach Out' is my favourite song of theirs since they got back together, I'm still bewildered that wasn't released as the second or third single from that album. :(

Oh I forgot from my original post

 

 

Saturdays - Up

Saturdays - If This Is Love

 

Really this is just sub-standard Girls Aloud.

Kings Of Leon - Sex On Fire/Use Somebody

Both very good songs but oh my god they got boring fast. Every Radio station playing these two tracks because they became a hit band after previous albums.

 

Christina Aguilera - Keeps Gettin' Better

Another song I like but it's not the best of Aguilera, her Rocky edge (Fighter, Dirrty) is a lot better than the electro pop thing

 

Beyonce - If I Were A Boy

Why oh why didn't Single Ladies do better, it's more fun than this sexist track (and yet another song I do like)

 

X Factor Final-t*ts - Heros

Thank you very much for killing a Mariah Carey classic. Simon Cowell has ruined this music industry and this song is somehow the 2nd fastest download of 2008. COMPLETE BOLLOCKS. The whole point of people being voted off X-Factor is so we don't have to hear their voices on the radio. DEATH TO S.C. and the awful music (apart from Leona Lewis) he has created

 

Will Young - Changes

BORING! Plain and simple

Christina Aguilera - Keeps Gettin' Better

Another song I like but it's not the best of Aguilera, her Rocky edge (Fighter, Dirrty) is a lot better than the electro pop thing

Christina wasn't overrated at all imo. Keeps Gettin' Better didn't even reach the top 10 :o

"Reach out" was released in Germany instead of IWFL, but i am not aware that they made a video for this song, so it had 0 TV play. I think it was planned as the fourth single, but they come with the brilliant Rule the World instead .

Keeps Gettin Better if anything underated, a fantastic track which a few seemed to turn their noses at because of it sounds like Lady GaGa.

Estelle - American Boy

Will.I.Am - Heartbreaker [because of Cheryl and her vocal was disgusting]

Sam Sparro - Black & Gold [Loved this but very overated, I do agree]

X Factor Finalists/Alexandra Burke - I hate Alexandra. I find her voice mediocre and she has an irritating attitude to.

Duffy - Mercy

Kid Rock - All Summer Long

Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl [Read Sparro]

Chris Brown - With You

 

I shall think of more laterr.

There's so many.

 

At top of my head - that Flo Rida - Low nonsense.

 

Will.I.Am/Cheryl Cole - Heartbreaker is another

Pink - So What aswell.

 

Nowhere near her best!

Here's one,

 

Girls Aloud - The Promise

OneRepublic - Stop & Stare

The Script - The Man That Can't Be Moved

Chris Brown - With You

Chris Brown - Forever

Will.I.Am - Heartbreaker

September - Cry For You

 

They're all nice enough songs and I charted them all but once you hear them 16+ weeks in a row on the chart show they started to get annoying. I'm sure I'll get back into them now most of them have disappeared from the top 40 and I'm not forced into hearing them. The same happened to 'I Kissed A Girl' and Rihanna's three big hits this year but they didn't grate on me as much.

 

Then there are songs from Nickelback, Kid Rock, X Factor Finalists etc. that are over rated but they're the sort of songs hardly anyone seems to actually likes despite being big sellers.

That's a really good point. The term overrated has been used quite loosely, I think. Maybe the thread should be renamed "Songs that didn't deserve the success they had". A hell of a lot of songs listed haven't really had much critical acclaim.
