"this is an open forum and people are allowed to put that they dislike a song or a band." I was a bit OTT. But if i went into a topic about a band who you like like The Sugababes and they'd just theoretically released a new single, , and said "Don't like their music, never had hope it's a flop and that'll be the end of them." Then you would probably be a little riled. Just to clarify i know you didn't say anything along those lines im just using it as an example of why i was so obstinate, and maybe a bit personally offended. Plus i wasn't in the best of moods that day, so sorry if i came across as being nescient, obviously, not everyone is going to like a band, i just think it would be appreciated if people respected others musical tastes a little more.

To all of you who are saying "McFly are $h!t" or "Its going to be a flop, mcfly should break up" seening as how you went to the trouble of posting such an aimless reply, would you please take the time to read this : http://piratemoggy.livejournal.com/367220.html It's quite long so there's no need to read the entire thing by just reading a few of the paragraphs you should get the drift of the piece. To those of you who can't be arsed to read it here is some advice: By just entering this thread you are emersing yourselfs in the music of the band, i understand that their will be people who disfavour the music of McFly, this is true for any band, for a band who is liked by every single person on the planet would surley be a perfect one, and in my knowledge such a band or artist doesn't exist. Even i, who has a very open minded approach to all types of music hold a dislike for many bands and for that reson only, and it is a very addiquate one, i tend to not involve myself in anything to do with that band, that includes not listing to their music and avoiding anything including any topics that may be about them. It is a very good plan and one that is genrally sucessful most of the time, It means that i don't have to listen to any music that i may dislike and therefore my resentment towards the band is kept at a minimum, i certainly don't wish for any band to break up or their singles to do badly just becasue their music doesn't suit my taste. There are many people who appreciate McFly's music and as this is a music forum assuredly peoples music tastes should be respected. Music is not forced upon a person and it is easy to avoid any certain type of music I cant see the sense in intentionally involving yourself in a band you don't like, McFly's music is obviously distressing a few people on this thread, my suggestion is swallow your pretentiousness and elitist and get over it.

It done badly because its had hardly any promo and Do Ya is definatly one of the weaker singles of their new album. Whoever said that they will never have a UK No.1 again...... :huh: One of their singles breaks the 15 uk top 10 consecutive hits, that does not mean they will never have a No.1 in the Uk ever again.

Why don't you set up your own band, see how many single's you sell, and then call them no sellers, darling :)

There is no denying that Spice Girls is one of the biggest girlbands in history and in their time they were THE biggest. There is also no denying that they will be remembered for alot longer than Mcfly will be. Of course i know that they have sold more records than Mcfly have however their song for children in need didn't sell half as many as Mcfly's did. i think its a bit judging for people to assume it will automatically be a bad single when their last one for children in need did pretty well.

Mcfly did sell more single than many before them and with their huge fan base behind them i think they will raise alot more than many others.

It annoys me that nobody will give them a chance "cos its Mcfly" They're new music is a change of direction, it's not a pop as their old stuff. I don't see how anyone who has actually bothered to look at the facts can say that Mcfly are going to make a c**p single. If you compare Mcfly's single to the Spice Girls effort last year. Mcfly - You've got a friend (with double A-side All about you) - 157,889 Spice Girls - Headlines - 48,956

"no-sellers" - are you sure your talking about the right band?
