JosephVickers1D Sorry if I'm annoying you, but in this example I just wanted to say that it is not doing any good in the eyes of non-1D fans for them to rip off a famous song for the 4th time already (they used Queen beat in Rock Me). It would be more fair if they do a cover than this. It is obviously not asked if samples could be used because they would have mentioned that before the song is released - their team wouldn't say "it was not intentional" every time this happens. This is clearly their team's fault. And please, SlayingAgain!!!! and JosephVickers1D and if you are going to talk about me - you should know I'm a girl :D

So what if I don't like them? This isn't an appreciation thread. I listened to the song and I don't like it, I'm not the first one here who said the song is not good.

That guitar riff from The Who song is present throughout the entire song and of course the songwriters say this is just a coincidence and not deliberately planned riiiiight :rolleyes: Their team are truly lacking originality. First Travolta and The Clash, now The Who...

I agree the song is catchy, but I think lyrically-wise - this is the weakest song they released. The chorus is lame as well as the bridge. It all sounds very cringe-worthy and very juvenile.

Shane posted a small clip of the song Everytime on his Soundcload page: https://soundcloud.com/shanefilan/everytime-clip What do you think? I like it a lot - I love how he moved away from Westlife sound, the song is very catchy

God, I hate how the media is practically fan-girling over them :rolleyes: Funny thing is, they used to openly mock older boybands that were 100 better than One Direction!

Wow, he is at no. 2 today!

Just to let you know they put up Shane's EP on Amazon - the price is 4.12 pounds but I would have to pay an additional 4 pounds for postage and packing. So, giving 8 ponds for 4 tracks is a bit too much for me I'm afraid. Maybe I'll buy the album though... It just makes me sad that I can't buy EP from his website where the price is altogether 4.76, wish I knew why why I can't do it. Anyway it is currently at #10 on Amazon bestsellers singles list - I think that is very good!

Syco's girls sing they have "One Direction on it" - nice touch Simon. :rolleyes: And again, too much auto-tune and even more overly produced.

Here is the long interview with Shane on 2fm: http://www.rte.ie/radio/utils/radiop...2D07%2D2013%3A The beginning is about Westlife that we know. but it interesting to hear about the bankruptcy - I had no idea he lost that much of money and that he had to buy off his wedding ring. It is so sweet that he wrote the entire album about his wife :)

Here is I Wanna Be Like Me :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8V4u_ZYl0Q I LOVED it the first 10 seconds I heard it, the melody is SO catchy and cool :dance:

Oh really? I thought that EP was great as well - Once Upon A Time gives me chills, her vocal is exceptional on that, and I especially enjoyed Lie To Me because it was something different from her, while Stay and Bright Lights and Cityscapes are great ballads. I actually think her change on this album came from the EP - she experimented even more which can be can heard on the songs like Eden, Hercules, I Choose You, Cassiopeia, Islands. And by the way, albums always come a little late in Japan so it is not such a big delay :)

Root Down got the people who pre-ordered the album on iTunes, I love that song too :) And you are right, I Wanna Be Like Me is iTunes bonus track and like you, I jope someone will upload it tomorrow ;) It says that the album is released 24th of July in Japan so we have to wait and see if Parking Lot appears there.

Good one! :D You are definitely right about that! I listened to it the first time yesterday afternoon and today I'm just replying it over and over because I'm simply over the moon with this album :) I've seen on 1 site that Japanese edition will have a bonus track Parking Lot, but I don't know if that's correct :unsure:

I think the album is definitely a grower so listen to it a couple of times ;) I really think she improved again as an artist.

Did anyone by any chance listened to her album? It was streamed on iTunes. I LOVE the album. :dance: This is her best work so far in my opinion. She changed her sound quite a lot - to me, the only song that sounds like old Sara is Manhattan, the rest is just so much richer in sound, the melodies are quite different. She has a lot of uptempo/midtempo songs this time like Brave, Hercules, Little Black Dress, Eden, Cassiopeia and I Choose You - however, even the ballads like December, Islands, 1000 Times and Satellite Call are very different from her older material. My favorite song is Cassiopeia - it is such a fun, uplifting song and it is very interesting that she is even singing about constellation in such a fun way :) And I Choose You is perfect wedding song, so sweet, I find Eden also very very interesting lyrically, but also Hercules, Chasing The Sun and December because they sound very personal, she is obviously singing about those hard times she felt in the past year. And Islands is very dark break up song, also quite different from the old stuff. And I actually feel a bit of country vibe on December and especially 1000 Times :) The only song I found very strange is Satellite Call and took me a while to get into it, but I appreciate that she went out of her comfort zone and the lyrics are very good. This is still pop, but she mixed it up a little bit. I understand that some fans are disappointed, but I am not. Sure, Brave is very mainstream and has a Fun vibe, BUT to me that doesn't mean she sold out just so she could have a hit - I mean, Love Song was also very radio friendly and mainstream. Besides, I even if it that song IS screaming for a hit, I say great - because the lyrics are so positive and empowering, so the many people should hear this! Hopefully, this album will be hugely successful - but even if it doesn't, I'm ok with it because I know Sara isn't that kind of artist anyway.

Here is Shane's interview at Magic fm, I uploaded all the talking parts: http://www.mediafire.com/listen/vpue4fvmor...ew_magic_fm.mp3 The important things we found out is that: - the sound of the album will be pop, folk and country - it will be more uptempo, only 4 ballads - the album comes out in November I'm surprised that there won't be more ballads, but this makes me happy though :) He needs to separate from Westlife and I think that is the right way to go.

I doubt they will put the signed ones on Amazon. If I don't buy it in the end, I would be grateful if you could tell me how the EP looks like - if Shane will write a thank you note, what photos are etc. :)

I tried that and I get this: Order Submission Error! Unfortunately an error occurred whilst trying to place your order number C805198 on our payment system hosted by our merchant partner Worldpay. This error was due to your bank or credit card company have refused to authorise the payment for your order. No money will be taken from your credit card or bank account and your order cant be processed. You should contact your bank or credit card company and ask them why they refused the payment, before placing a new order. I just don't feel like contacting the bank, I give up :unsure: Though, maybe I just can't pre-order, maybe thats the issue... I will definitely buy the album, that's for sure! With the EP, it's ok if I can't.

Oh man, I just went to the website to try again with the pre-order when I noticed there are no signed EP's left :( now I don't know if I should wait and see if Shane signs a few copies more or I just go ahead and buy the unsigned version.

I sent the mail to the digital stores and they told me to try again as they do ship to Croatia so I will try again this afternoon : :) Anyway, look - Kian and Nicky praised Shane on Twitter, that's very sweet of them :) Nicky: Well done @ShaneFilan Very very catchy 👍 #GoodJob Take a bow son take a bow .. Right night y'all Kian: Just heard @ShaneFilan first single. Well done buddy it sounds amazing. Set for top of the charts without a doubt. So happy for you :-)

Shane just released a lyric video: igS50c8l44A Everything To Me is currently trending at no.1 worldwide :)

The song is very catchy and fun, I doubt Shane wanted to achieve something more than that. But because of that, I don't see it as less mature - to me this just sounds like a love letter to his wife and kids because they stuck by him through rough times. Sure, it is a little corny but at least he speaks from the heart and what is more important - he managed to separate himself from Westlife sound. I don't know, I think this song could have success, especially if radio stations back him up and I don't see why they wouldn't because it sounds very radio friendly. Plus, I think this song is perfect for summertime

Here is the music video: http://www.yinyuetai.com/video/708082 I like it, very happy and fun video :)
