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.
I thought you had to be intelligent to go to uni Surely then you can see that they would have an appeal to a certain type of person even if that isnt you.

I am intelligent. I see what your saying, I guess I just worded it wrong. I guess I'm just saying that in my opinion they are rubbish so I cant see why they have survived so long. But I guess they do appeal to little kids of today.
Im 17 and I despise them!
However my cousin who is also 17 and my 14 year old sister (Both borderline chavs love them and both brought there album after xmas.
I almost wanted to cry!
Well done to them for earning their success. They obviously have worked hard for it..
However I to can't see the appeal. That guy with the silly hat to my ears has one of the most annoying, whiney voices ive ever heard. I also find it strange how their album has gone platinum yet I can't say ive really heard them on the radio much or seen there music videos on tv. I assume it must be word of mouth around schools. It's like the 'cool' thing to listen to probably.
Really not my cup of tea but I respect that obviously some people do enjoy them.

Thankyou! I think LOADS of bands and singers are rubbish, but in a vast world like this when everyone is different, I understand that one mans meat is another mans poison.;)
You dont have to be a chav to like them, I am Goth-ish and really like them. People just need to accept that they are different. They have some really good songs like Love for my slum, better not waste my time, sex, papa can you here me, dont get nine, and defeat you.
Is this the group where one man wears a hat in a way that does NOT look cool, oh and wears that stupid wool hat too in the same video. The lanky one prancing around the main singer, while looking like a complete moron?
Ah, the song Number 1 is the track video I watched on television.
Normally I'd say this sort of music isn't my thing, and I resisted as best I could, but I've got to admit that I find myself singing along and enjoying myself when their songs are on the radio. When you strip away the image, and look beyond the musical genre, there are some strong melodies with catchy hooks.
They are also surprisingly entertaining once you get over the shock of Dappy!:D
They're not really my thing, but I can see their appeal. Their songs are quite simple but catchy.
I love that the lyrics to their number 1 single went "I don't understand how you're number one..." Was thinking the same myself!
Not all of us...
They're horrendous, I can understand that some people like them, not why, but I understand they do.
don't forget we live in a country that can make Mr Blobby, Fast Food Rockers & Crazy Frog all reach the top spot and also big hits out of the Cheeky Girls & The Power Rangers single! which is rather funny to know the latter was produced by Simon Cowell, which i found funny to learn! :rolleyes:
watched them on this morning cringing while i was watching, jesus if these guys can make a living singing theres hope for my gran ,appaling especially the geek in the hat trying to sing,fkin hell wot were this morning producers thinking about
N-Dubz are successful because they have lots of fans who enjoy their music. I'm not a big fan of them myself, but this thread is a perfect example of 'music snobbery'.
I never ever thought n-dubz, were successful, what critieria makes them successful
Their album sales and and their up-coming arena tour might be a good place to start. Many people can't stand them (I'm meh on them) but they've done well for themselves.
So a platnuim album makes someone successful, is that all you have to do nowadays, its when artists start selling 20+ million albums they get successful in my eyes.

Yes of course a Platinum albums makes someone success. What a silly, no stupid thought pattern you have. When someone sells 20 plus albums (who's done that recently then?) they became mega success, which N-Dubz are not.
Lady Gaga hasn't sold 20 million albums, is she not successful with your silly reasoning?

Obviously your views on successful are a lot different to mine.
Success is earned over a period of time, I would call N-dubz popular.

They're about 19-21 now I think.

I heard about their Pappa video on YouTube before I'd even heard their song on the radio or anywhere else.
Blame it on YouTube

I wonder if they wear their jeans on back to front as well???:eek:

It was released as "Tinchy Stryder featuring N' Dubz" though ..
