Ergh!

They are ruining a lot of great songs. I just heard them perform "Yellow" by Coldplay, and it was pooo! They already ruined Life on Mars by Bowie and they DESTROYED Bohemian Rhapsody.

ARGH!!

I just looked at their album tracklistings *shakes head*, no, *hits head on wall*

when a child is born.
lalalalalala

lalalolololololol

LOL! What are you doing looking at their album!

Lucky for me I haven't heard them since XFactor.

Suerly Louis Walsh will run out of covers for his ''artists'' soon... do Westshite, G4 and Girls Aloud release anything but covers these days? I crigned when reading Westlife were going to release a Christmas album and a duets album.... another 2 albums full of covers then. Is it just me, or if you were them would you have absolutely no satisfaction from your job? Turning up at a studio, being giving someone else's song to sing and then going home. They really are a disgrace to the music industry.

Girls Aloud have released only one cover, which was for charity, have they not?

no

"Stay Another Day" which was a double A side with "Sound of The Undergound"

"Jump"

"I'll Stand By You"

"See The Day"

I'll Stand By You, Jump, See The Day.... not to mention the sample they ripped from Oasis...

Ah yes Jump.

Didn't know See The Day was a cover though..

I saw that performance as welland it was vomit enducing.

I had to listen to G4's appalling version of 'Yellow' over Christmas dinner fer crying out loud! My sister bought my mother their album for Christmas... I have now disowned the pair of them.

I know people on here like to give Coldplay a lot of stick, but Parachutes is one of my favourite albums of all time, and Yellow one of the best tracks off it. Why that one? Why?!

If they are so concerned with being seen as credile artists and not another Pop Talent show reject it's hardly helping them to keep releasing or recording other people's songs, is it? At least Will Young has sort of moved beyond that... as for the rest of them.

Someone suggested to Will that he should do an album of classics (Gershwin, Cole Porter etc) but he said he wants to sing his own music at this stage. Good for him!

See the Day was done by Dee C Lee originally

Isn't the music in that girls aloud song which goes, erm "I don't need no good advice" or something stolen from another song? It sounds soooooooooo familiar.

Why?!?!?!?!?"£!?!?$$?!"£?%

And of course you didn't notice that 'Another Day' is an original not a cover. There are loads of singers who do covers why pick on G4? I love listening to them along with many thousands of other people so you have the usual answer - if you and the rest of the posters on here don't like them don't listen. As a matter of interest why do you listen to them??

Good Lord! CD1 : 5,7,8,10,11 - and I've just noticed right at the bottom a personal favourite, 'Au fond du temple saint'!!!! G4, do as you were told and leave - NOW!

I quite agree! at least they CAN sing.

I think they were picked on due to the fact that they are just a covers band rather than an original band. As you said there are lots of bands that do covers, however the vast majority do this as a change from the norm in their career, not just album after album of covers.

I personally dont mind them, but i can see where people are coming from in their arguments. Bands surely dont just want to release cover after cover, they can never be proud in just rehashing old tunes.

As I said, 'Another Day' is a new song not a cover. Given that they haven't stopped travelling, recording and performing since the X-Factor they have hardly had time to write songs. After all they never expected to be where they are now when they entered the competition so they didn't have a portfolio of songs already at hand. They all read and write music, play several instruments and do all their own musical arangements. After the next tour in May/June maybe they will have time to start writing some of their own songs. I'm perfectly happy either way especially at their !ive concerts which are superb entertainment

I never debated the fact that Another Day is not an origianl song, well done G4!! Work out their covers to their original ratio and tell me that is a good statistic for them. So they travel around and hardly have any time to write songs, so does every other artist and they have to find the time if they wish to write their own material so that can hardly be an excuse can it?

It is obvious that G4 are cashing in whilst they can by covering as many tunes as they can, easy money for easy work. I dont blame them at the end of the day but i dont really see how so many people can think they are the bees knees when literally anybody who can sing can do what they do. Thats just IMO

And you're welcome to it :yawn: If they aren't of interest to you why concern yourself with them?

because it is an open forum where people can give their opinions so i fancied it

the same as if you are happy listening to their covers time and time again and dont care what others think why get involved in the thread?

I really can't be bothered to discuss this any further.

Dont then

Although G4 are dreadful, you are not one to comment on what is good and what is bad music!!

Or even. . .

1. Everybody Hurts (listening to us sing)
2. Creep (away for your own sanity)
3. Life On Mars (anything to avoid us)
4. Fever (won't stop us singing)
5, Yellow (fever might do though)
6. Remember Me (the blond one - forget the rest)
7. Last Song (you wish)
8. To Where You Are (we threaten to perform)
9. Your'll Never Walk Alone (unless your one of our fans)
10. My Way (for Louis Walsh)
