I hae tried to buy into the hype but if it was 1988-1993 I would get it more.

They still seem really dated with weak vocals, not sure how they would be singing modern songs?

Well there is no point in "tying" to 'get' them if you don't.

I think they are fantastic and are my favourite. I 'get' them. I am sure you will find one of the other acts 'getable'. I hope you still enjoy the show though!

I know what you're saying - the boyband thing seems to have moved on these days, but I cant help but like them. They gel so well and always look like they are enjoying themselves - a breath of fresh air after the perpetually shrieky, off key and depressing Rachel and pub singer Daniel.

I like them because from the first audition it was clear how hard they've worked. Their close harmony singing is excellent and that's their forte. As soloists, it doesn't work so well, and that's been exposed on their performances so far. They now seem to have settled on the best solo voice taking the lead.

I wish they'd lay off all the chorus vocals on the backing track and just concentrate on what they are best at. The four voices singing close harmony. Something like the Temptations 'Still Water' would suit them down to the ground. I know they are no way in the same league as the Temps, but that type of song that showcases the voices together.

Add to that they are four extremely likeable, funny, well adjusted and entertaining performers with a distinct lack of ego.

Yes I agree with all of that...although I like them they don't seem to me to have moved on musically very much beyond what 4 Sure were doing a couple of years back. Possibly they move a bit better than 4 Sure did, although I thought 4 Sure were easily stronger as an ensemble (I have really started to like Aston's lead vocals though)

I can see them having continued support but the next big thing....no I really can't go for that.
