    No, I can't risk you breaking into song... you might sing utter drivel... which would be painful for the other onlookers.

    Yes we get that you hate them nothing will change your mind and you won't give them a chance blah blah blah:rolleyes:

    Glad to see that both 1D and Rebecca have been certified platinum after 2-3 weeks sales.

    Just goes to prove those right who were saying they would be the biggest stars of the last series in the real world.

    Wow all those people should put on trial for poor taste in songs and pop bands.(I will not say music as such poor songs are not music in my book).

    You just can't help yourself can you? Of course you read the thread title and rubbed your hands in glee thinking now what nasty thing can I post. It would have been so much nicer for us and for yourself just to leave the thread alone but obviously you weren't taught internet etiquette when you joined t'intenet :D

    I'm not always (okay, never) their biggest fan, but still - congratulations to 1D (and anyone who is involved with their management and promo), well done!:)

    Edit: That sounds a bit sarcastic - it wasn't meant that way...

    If they were 5 fat lads with the same singing ability would they sell 300,000 albums?

    No

    Why do people waste so much money in these times of austerity?

    Look is such an important factor in music these day - unless you have a voice like Susan Boyle you have to have a presentable and attractive immage to buy into.

    Its such a stupid statement to say if they were fat they wouldn't sell records. Its the same as people saying if you take away the teenage girl they wouldn't be successful - just as if you took away the core fanbase of any act they wouldn't be successful.

    If Alexandra was the size of heffer I doubt she'd sell. Or if GaGa was the size of a house and looked like the back end of bus - would she be a superstar?

    Off course not.

    The music industry isn't just about the voice - its encapsulates so many factors that fans buy into and voice is just a part of that.

    I take it to have such a vitrolic opinion on the album/ songs you have downloaded and listened to it yourself :p

    Trust me Rose and Ribbon definitely has, if you count how many threads he/she has started on behalf of 1d, it's quite obvious they're a closet fan.:)

    Absolutely not... if they were ugly they'd have not made the live shows, they've got where they're based on their looks.

    Look is such an important factor in music these day.

    Even in opera that is true to a degree these days... the BIG difference there is that you also have to have some talent too!

    It saddens me to see total mediocrity in music not only embraced but worshipped as it is these days.

    Most acts do tbh - at least to the lives.

    If you're ugly you have to sound like Susan Boyle or be a novelty act like Wagner.

    I know but what I'm saying is, that without the looks they'd have not sold many albums, even their fans are more into looks then 'talent'.
