g4. i mean, come on, a whole album of that manic operetta and you'd be climbing the walls, it's like listening to radio jingles, after two songs (repeated) in the television show i'm turning down the volume to prevent an overload of that sickly close-harmony noise.

there are boxes in sound studios that you can use to create harmonies for the voice and that's what g4 sound like to me. there's no real variety, no real danger in what they do, it's calculated and forced, no personality, the least natural use of human voices going.

g4 are a novelty act. something you'd give three minutes to, but it's not the x factor. i can't see them topping any charts more than once, and i can't see them surprising anybody with a new delicacy to their sound, because it's just four classically trained belters, a barbershop quartet with a repetoire slightly bigger than "way down upon the swannee river"

g4 they're not big and they're not clever.

The only thing that will prove whether you are right or wrong is time. I personally believe that G4 will be successful. One of us is wrong but at the moment there is no way of telling which one of us will prove to be correct. Come back in a couple of years.

As I said on another thread we don't need another Il Divo Group and ID are far better looking

Hilarious.

I defy anyone to suggest what sort of original material G4 could put out - it would just be cover after cover after cover (if they even got that far), even die-hard G4 fans wouldn't accept that after a while.

Novelty act is bang on the money, mate!

They are only novelty if they continue to sing Popera covers. I can't see much original music coming out of the G4 stables although I may well be wrong. If they return to their roots and sing music like Il Divo then they are not a novelty. However, they will be up against some tough competition.

This is a quote from yesterdays paper 'The cost of a phone call to vote for G4 30p, the cost of a ticket to see their show next year 25p'. I DIDN'T SAY IT and I must admit I thought it was a little bit cruel !

The old dears will vote for them cos 'they're lovely boys'

they only have one format. they only have one way of working. they only have one sound. whether it's ballad or rock or country, it's going to sound like four choir boys mucking about for the end of university party. it's not pop, it's barbershop quarter.

it's never going to be big, and it's too clever for it's own good.

imagine kissing your beloved for the first time to a soundtrack by g4, you'd spend the rest of your lives having to sing like aled jones on crack to recapture that moment.

imagine inviting somebody back to your gaff and putting on a g4 cd, you'd be fighting to hear yourselves over that in-your-face and rather hysterical noise.

imagine sitting at home in a rare moment of relaxation, ooh, i'll think i'll put on that g4 cd, just what i need, the rather camp and tortuous sound of four opera-chorus rejects desperately trying to sound contemporary and meaningful.

i don't think so.

pathetic? how bizarre. my post was asking whether g4 had that x factor, surely the whole point of the show?

desperate? oh so it's desperate to convey an opinion in something resembling a focused and thought-out way.

Yes pathetic I'm afraid, your whole post was negative, nasty and unpleasant. I am not interested if you think G4 are not funny and not clever, you could have added your points to one of the hundreds of similar threads on this forum but you chose to start a new one.

And if you think your post was focused and thought out, well that is bizarre.

However you have a right to your opinion and now have said my bit I will let you and the other G4 bashers have yet another field day.

Bye

Not as many anti steve threads...G4 fans don't feel threatened...plus we have way too much class to play this game

Just because somebody doesn't like G4 , doesn't mean that they are a Steve fan . Astonishing as it sounds, some people genuinely don't like them and don't worship the ground they walk on. :yawn:

Also, if you think the negative comments about G4 are bad, I can guarantee that if they win the press will make far, far worse comments than anyone on this forum has done. I suggest the G4 fans develop thicker skins.

You asked me earlier today in what way D.S. is different now to the way it was.Your retort is a perfect example of 'the difference'.This poster has an opinion......why should the poster be subjected to a playground taunt?
