... sick to the back teeth of constantly performing What Makes You Beautiful. And all of that moving backwards and forwards and jumping around as well. Ti-ir-ing.

And Harry always seems to mess up his little verse before the final chorus. Poor guy, they should put the backing vocals in for that bit he obviously is trying to catch his breath after jumping around.

Or...they could learn to dance? And have a little routine. Jumping around IMO smacks of :'we have no idea what to do'.

Watching Cowell counting his money more like and then slowly start to realise just how much "3/5s of 5/8s of f**k All" really is.....

Well don't artists make most of their money from touring?
They have done 1 UK theatre tour, touring the US next month until July. Starting their arena tour in the UK next year.

Merchandise, also endorsements with Nokia and Nintendo, probably more in the next year. I think they will have a lot of money in their individual bank accounts
(Well more than your average 18,19,20 year old)

Not forgetting how knackered and burnt out they're all going to feel when they've been worked to the point of collapse and then hung out to dry when they aren't raking it in for the suits anymore.

Well the pop industry is a business, and like any business if nothing sells then it's curtains. I'm sure the boys are aware of this. But they are having the time of their lives right now!

No more so than any business in a recession. If you not pulling in the money/doing your job you are out

The boys do work hard but they have youth on their side and is probably not any more tiring than working as a navvy on a building site which many 18yr olds are doing today.

As for the dancing . This is the new era of boybands. i.e The Wanted. personally I prefer it to all that synchronised polished stuff that makes them look like robots

Yes they do, however that money will still be split between them and their management company and Cowell isn't exactly known for the generosity of his contracts, is he?

They may well be doing better than your average 18, 19, or 20 year olds but I bet their "cut" pales in to insignificance when compared to what their management company take.

Fair play to them, they are hugely popular and obviously talented.

Great singers and great performers. That's their talent.

I was around (just) for beatlemania. One is never too old to be commenting on boybands as long as one realises you are too old for knicker throwing and lusting after them
