What's with the excessive threads about The Saturdays?
Yes before anyone says i know I've just made another one. I just find it ridiculous how many threads there are about them.
Each and every one of their fans must have an account on here or something because they really are endless, can you lot not just stick to the appreciation thread? |

'Ohh but we must all buy Missing You this week even though it's a dull song because The Saturdays really deserve to get to no.1!'
I thought Saturdays fans were better than that |

I thought Saturdays fans were better than that )There seems to be a tendency with girl/boy bands for people to support them more like you would a football team than a pop group - i.e. they want them to get to the top of the league regardless of how well they're playing. Not saying that's bad. Just an observation. |

I just don't get how spamming the media and social networking sites etc justifys them "deserving" a number 1, for this particular song they don't, others yes and that is what I don't like about this.

Not saying that's bad. Just an observation. I know every song in the charts gets promotion, but the efforts to get Missing You to no.1 is becoming extremely cynical and desperate. Surely if the song was good enough they wouldn't need things like offering postcard sets to fans on Facebook for telling their friends to buy the song. It's getting stupid. They are trying to sponge every last sale they can possibly get rather than letting the song stand up on it's own. If people like it they will buy it, but the stupid thing is that there are many people buying it while admitting they don't even like it, just because they are desperate for The Saturdays to get to no.1. It would be an extremely unmerited #1 |

I know but when I see people saying things like 'I've bought 3 copies so far, let's all do the same!' that's what annoys me. I don't know how you can compare it to a football team, it's totally different.

It would be an extremely unmerited #1 You've used the word I used just the other day to describe The Saturdays: desperate. And desperation isn't a particularly endearing quality. Why else did Geri Halliwell fall from grace? And how many of the 'fans' on here are genuine, as opposed to plants paid for by the group's publicists? We shall probably never know, but I have to wonder …

It would be an extremely unmerited #1 the fact that the song itself is falling day by day shows people are sick of the spamming etc. The funny thing is the Girls themselves keep saying things like were not finshed, were not desperate etc, Yet them and there management go on a shamless publcity powertrip even JLS dong sink that low. |

Gonna jump on the "agree" bandwagon based on Kutox's post.

I agree as well, but it's not just the Saturdays, you see trends of threads and post urging people to go "buy a song", doesn't matter if you like it, just buy it.
Campaigns to get songs to the top of the charts based on publicity, not merit, have been going on since long before the Rage one last Christmas. |

Of course - but we are on a website very obviously being hijacked by The Saturdays' publicists: fabricating 'stories' about the group which actually say nothing at all of any interest or intelligence … they are just cynical attempts to keep the group's name in the 'headlines'.
As for all the threads on here - I've said my piece … ![]() ) one of our "missions" was to go on message boards and enthusiasticly post about groups. We were also told to e-mail radio stations requesting their songs as well as drop leaflets and posters everywhere.A lot of the threads on here seem exactly like what we used to do. |

Campaigns to get songs to the top of the charts based on publicity, not merit, have been going on since long before the Rage one last Christmas. And all similar campaigns which have run since then (and have all rightfully failed) were started by a few silly people on Facebook, that's all it was. The attempts to get Missing You to no.1 is coming largely from the management and The Saturdays themselves which is one of the things that annoys me about it. Surely they should just settle for how the song is doing now and let it be, instead of desperately trying to sponge a few more sales just to get a higher chart position. And I don't blame fans for wanting them to get to no.1, but when there are people buying multiple copies, and buying the song while admitting they don't even like it, that's when it starts to get silly. |

But the Rage campaign was specifically an attempt to stop X Factor getting another boring Christmas no.1. People bought it as a statement of intent that we are all fed up of Cowell thinking he owns the Christmas no.1.
I was at Rage Factor, great day out that was

because (most of) this forum has no taste in music
Kutox, I agree with your post. To be fair though, it's not just The Sats fans who do that (buy multiple copies) |

Nothing against it but its sad knowing that this is the extent of what people consider music to be. |

I've noticed a huge number of threads about female artists on here lately and they all feature the same thing:
Madonna is the queen, Britney is an icon, Christina is voice of her generation. Do we need this in every thread? |
