What are the chances of a tv series like The Monkees, `The Partridge Family, or more up to date, S Club 7 in Miami 7 or Glee, where the band play fictionalised versions of themselves?”
While I loved Spinal Tap, I loved A Mighty Wind (the folk music spoof) even better. Did you know they actually performed that "tv special" absolutely live in front of a real audience?
I'd stay away from the latter though. This is a real vocal group so the bts documentary should be enough.

This this 1000 times this!!! I hope who ever is advising them to let it be known to be themselves, and not try to be like a high schooler trying to impress the group of cool kids by being something they arent. That was what 1D was able to tap into and people over here loved the " exotic" Britishness of them.
And really, why should someone have to change themselves to be liked? Find people who like you for what you are. "The definition of a friend is someone who will put up with you".

I look at that listing every week. It starts out Sat-Tues as a Top 20 and once the Friday figures are all in its a Top 40. Each week that thread gets archived so you have to check the forum itself for the new one weekly. His estimates are usually within .5%.
