I think if Olly does well in the States then it's a slap in the face to Robbie Williams who in my opinion has/had far better songs and is a great entertainer.
Olly to me just seems like a poor imitation who uses the Robbie persona but is by far less witty/original/interesting but at the same time it's good to see Brit acts do well in the States so if he improves on #96 which is where Heart Skips a Beat charted then fair play. Also the rip off of Maroon 5 really bugs me and Misery charted at #14 in the US 2010 (why so many picked up on it straight away) so like the above post mentions is still fairly recent which won't do him any favours. |

It was thankfully a relatively rare example of a song spending 2 weeks (so far) at no 1 in the UK. I shall refrain from describing the person it reminds me of here though!

Well if the song flopped for Maroon 5 what chance did Olly have
 But being serious the song has no promtion so its not surprising. |

Olly Murs isnt very "American friendly" is he?? I honestly cant see him making it in America. You can see why someone like Jessie J or even Rita Ora might become popular in America... but Olly Murs? |

3 music videos of "heart skip a bit" and good promotion were not even enought for the single to have so kind of success so it's not surprising

That's a shame, I was hoping we might get a bit of a rest from him in the UK!
