I could go on and on about how much I absolutely loathe them and their God-awful "music". I know I can't be alone in my burning hatred for them...I don't know what it is but their songs make me want to kill myself. Especially She's So Lovely, which was so overplayed at one point it's ridiculous.

I love 'This Ain't A Love Song' but everything else they've did has been awful.

Saying that, at least they write their music. It might be shit music, but it's better than just singing songs other people wrote for you and miming them all the time *cough* JLS.

This ain't a love song is just as bad if not worse than anything else they've done... as for writing their own songs, any idiot could have come up with the lyrics to she's so lovely (even JLS, they just can't write songs because they wouldn't be allowed to and probably can't be arsed anyway)

To be fair, JLS co-wrote a lot of their songs on their debut, including one Shot, which fared well in the chart. It's still shit music though. And I do think Scouting For Girls' lyrics are quite cheap and crap, seeing as though they are being written by a man in his thirties.

Eurgh, Westlife. I used to like them when I was younger, but christ on a bike, they are worse than Boyzone, which takes some doing. I hate boybands in general, apart from Take That. They are the exception, as they are all so talented, especially Gaz. He has a beautiful singing voice, plays piano like a pro, writes brilliant pop songs, and for a slightly tubby guy he's not a bad little dancer.

But you'd expect a little more from a man in his thirties, wouldn't you?

Trust me, the third band at the gig I was at tonight made scouting for girls sound like The Beatles.

Scary female singer, with Bench parody t-shirt which read "Wench" topped off with cover of American Idiot era Greenday.

I left 2 songs in....

I think it's one of the worst AAA singles of the year, it really shocked me it went to No. 1.

For me they do fall into the same catergory as Robbie Williams.

They make music which idiots think is deep and meaningfull.

I can barely tell the difference between their singles.

They all seem to be sung the same way, cliches aplenty, with the same instrumental, same structure, same lyrical premise and repetitive choruses.

Once you've heard one of their songs (preferably their earlier stuff) you've heard it all.

I know it's all nice and easy to listen to, but come ON.

Oh, and people stopped wanting to be James Dean decades ago, boys.

Well, i've seen them live twice, and have both albums haha So i suppose i'm enemy no.1 on here. But to be fair, i like their music, it's fun and summery, and we're all aloud to have our own opinions

Their music is far too 'cheesy' for me.. Although, I wouldn't neccessarily call them the worst band going.

thats the only thing positive i can say about them...

imho they are disliked because they dont fit into a generic catagory... they are not 'indie' , but try to be 'better' then pop groups like mc fly aimed at youngsters...
