think that Will Young is actually, liek, alrite?

Okay so he was created just to make money but (apart from his first album) it sounds like they've actually bothered to make some good tunes that suit his style. Also he seems like a genuine, cool and funny guy in interview's I've seen.

I have turned the radio up at all three of his newest singles (and how decent is his current video?!) and *blushes* that all time love song makes me actually leak a little from my eyes :0

Thoughts?

i personally am not a big fan

although he seems like a nice chap. That all time love song is boring, in fact all his songs I find quite boring.


yeah alot is not really exciting enough for me

but i just think all time love is a beautiful song, it's simple, not boring.


Not really.

Seems rather boring, and annoying.


you're boring and annoying!

NOT REALLY!!!

But, yeah, I posted a thread about this like a zillion years ago. Only stubryce replied.

Good old stubryce!


thats fair enough

I just think it's rather lovely myself.


a difference of opinion then

if a song is simple and slow, then it has to be interesting in some other way (good songwriting etc.) for me to want to listen to it. Simple, slow songs i quite often find boring. Also, lots of people are cool and funny and genuine, it doesn't make me want to listen to their music.


i don't like all time love

or many of his other songs- but I thought the your game song was quite interesting, with its kind of stagey orchestration.


I liked Your Game

Although I'm not sure if I liked it before I saw the cheesy video. Now I have a montage of Top Gun scenes running through my head whenever it plays, which can only make it better, really.

He's my favourite product of all those stupid reality tv music competition thingies, anyway.


Was that the your game video?

I thought it was 'switch it on'
which was his first song that i, liek, properly digged.


I have no idea, actually...

*goes and checks*

You're right. I am stupid, and I've also given 'Switch It On' the wrong name in my iTunes. It is that song that I like though, and come to think of it, I have no idea what 'Your Game' sounds like.


There's much worse

and i find a lot more annoying music out there, frankly. A bit beige but not in an irritating way...somehow.


yeah exactly

even the stuff i didnt like didnt really irritate me. Except 'Evergreen' cos 2 other people recorded it at same time ( and it was shit obv) how blatent could they be about the fact it wasn't about creating exciting new music but money?!


Leave Right Now

is an ace song.


money schmoney

if it's a god song it's a good song. It's the same as the 'real musicianship' argument.


Yeah that's exactly my mindset too, but 'Evergreen'

wasn't a good song.

I forgot 'leave right now' i like that one too :)


hes good

he cant really sing, but he seems to be an actualy decent guy, and hes given ok songs. apart from that doors cover. i found that eveil, and i dont even like the doors.


^point


Well, that's fair enough

It was surely just been chucked out to keep his public image alive. Of course, he's now sold a shitload of records and can tell the PR department to go fuck themselves, or somesuch. Not that I'd buy anything of his yet, but before the last one which was rubbish there were two singles that actually sounded like they were recorded by people who were interested in the music they were making at the time.


Yes.


Cant sing?

huh? He has a lovely, original voice, how can't he sing?


...

Will Young is just wonderful. He's my favourite male pop celeb. Charlotte Church is still cooler though.


"lovely, original voice"

you are joking, yes?


mm

he's actually quite likeable, and his songs are generally quite well written and not too annoying. not that i'd listen by choice you understand.
