I was rather surprised, amused and confused when I heard that N-Dubz had gone platinum.
I youtubed them just to be sure N-dubz were who they thought they were.
I really don't get it.
They're crap and their songs all sound the same.

    Exactly. I don't understand it either. They're awful...And what's with the hats:eek:

    I can't see a trapper hat in the same way anymore

    All their songs are repetitive and whiny.

    Not my kind of music personally.

    Maybe you should use 'not to my taste' instead of crap. There are quite clearly a lot of people out there who don't think they're crap.

    They aren't exactly my cup of tea but a few of their songs are ok. Not good enough for me to buy their album, mind. They've worked hard to get this success so good for them.

    they have done well, extremely well for themselves. Sold more than Leon jackson for starters, even though thats not much competition aswell mas same difference...

    Oh god, not ANOTHER person who doesnt get that everyones tastes are different. There are HUNDREDS of different artists I cant stand. But not for ONE moment do I NOT see how OTHER people might like them.

    I never liked their first song but all the others i thought were good. Don't like them enough to buy their album though. I'm glad to see they've gone platinum. How much does this mean they have sold?

    Im not quite sure on how they became so successful, but of course its a matter of opinion, and their music just isn't what I would chose to listen to.

    Well basically its just a matter of opinion - I know a lot of kids + teenagers like them.

    I'd never heard of them until I read about them on here. Ive never heard their music played on the music channels or on the radio.

    Their hats make them look like East 17 circa 1994

    Their songs sound a bit dated, with a slightly amateurish quality to them.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!
    Their album is amazing!
    I like every single song!

    It's only young people who really listen to them, but my mum likes a few songs ;)
    But that's cause I play the album constantly in the house :D

    Tulisa's an amazing singer :)

    I'm not a fan in particular, but their latest one has wormed it's way into my brain - it's one of those songs that I think is ok, but i hate myself for liking it.

    Tulisa has got "Tu" other attributes I don't mind so much though ;)

    Their music is cheaply and easily produced and there is a market for their sound/image. Hence, they are popular.They will be over within a year most likely, but good for them for cashing in on the trend while they are able to.

    I can't say I'm impressed , but I don't think they are crap, either.

    I can honestly say I dont get the appeal with this band. When I was in sixth form they drove past our school looking for people to be in their video and people literally went crazy. I was more like who are you??? Heard their first song and its really not my thing. I'm in uni now, so really can't understand how this band have survived for so long.
