Don't know if this has already been mentioned here on this forum

I can't say he's the worst singer I've ever heard, but his voice and the song are pretty decent.

I think his music is awful. He seems to me like a British Justin Bieber but has failed miserably to really win over a huge female fanbase.

He's OK. He's got personality, I don't think he can sing aswell as Justin but he's OK. His one song 'Lift Off' is like a 2012 version of Justin Timberlake, it's quite good.

The girl in the Vegas Girl video is hot,way out of his league. The video wasn`t filmed in Las Vegas,so that`s a bit embarrassing. Also the name sounds too `made up`; `Conor Maynard`? He`s been around long enough to become a one-man 1D--it hasn`t happened yet. Next!

Neither of his two singles released so far have been great but I listened to the preview for his album and it genuinely sounds quite good.

First thought - he looks a bit dopey, not quite got the looks to make it at the minute.

I don't mind his music though. It is quite reminiscent of Bieber-Timberlake. That reminds me, there was a remix of Vegas Girl played on Radio 1 the other day in the dance show, and it wasnt teh Wideboys one. It had quite a pop feel. Anyone know what it mightve been? I'm making a CD for a party..

This.
His singles didn't excite me much but I (illegally ) downloaded it and gave it a listen and it's genuinely good with great tracks such as Animal, Take Off, Pictures. I'm definately going to be buying it at some point!

Sure?

This single got to No. 4 in the UK charts, and the album got to No. 1. Surely that must mean something?

Glad to hear people are actually giving his album a shot, instead of just brushing him aside because of his 'just another Justin Bieber' tag!

I love Contrast! Animal is the best song IMO, but honourable mention to basically every other song on the album

You can sell 10,000 copies to get a No.1 album these days.

Not the best looking fella.

Also, his album's plummeted from No.1 to No.6 in only it's 2nd week on the album chart, and been outsold by Rihanna, Plan B and Emeli Sande.

The video makes me cringe beyond belief, especially the start.

^^This, not to worry though doubt people will remember his name let alone his music in a few years time.

Possiblly the ugliest pop star around. Both of his singles were bland and boring. Brings nothing to the music industry, like we need another Bieber! A bit over hyped if you ask me.

I gave his album a go and you know what I am impressed. He might not have as voice as good as Bieber's but Maynards songs imo are better.

You signed up, and remained idle for two months just to say that?

I think this is the weakest song from him..Animal and Take Off would have been stronger singles imo. Having said that Contrast is a good album...particularly Pictures, Just In Case and Glass Girl.
