Seriously sol, you're not missing much. They were a group of singing sisters in the 70s and early 80s. They sang really tacky cheesy songs. Have you ever heard "I'm in the mood for dancing?" That was one of theirs. Actually, I think one of them is in The Bill now.

The Conways remind me of a cross between The Nolans and The Corrs. Probably not bad singers to be fair, but boring, and I really don't think there's a gap in the market for that type of group. I'm still glad that they didn't go last night though - I would've hated Simon to have lost another act!

LMAO.. U echoed my exact thoughts there Ruth, when u said you felt old. I was just about to reply to Sol, when I read on and saw what you wrote!

I dunno if I would compare The Conways to The Nolans, but I would say they are a poor-man's Corrs. The corrs are incredibly dull, but at least they have great singing voices, and in my female opinion, are very good looking girls. The Conways have none of the above!

lily. 30-10-2005 07:36 PM

PS. Obviously I wasn't including the bloke when I called them "good looking girls"

Actually, he is not so good looking as the girls.. :rolleyes:

Siouxsie 30-10-2005 10:01 PM

the nolans crap crap crap simon has slipped up with these girls

Lance 30-10-2005 10:29 PM

I really like The Conways.

I think with the right song they can be fantastic...You Raise Me Up was excellent IMO. I wasn't overly impressed with Total Eclipse but that really isn't a four-part harmony song (albeit only two of the foru at most ever sing!).

And well I blame Simon for the crap song on Week 1. With the right song these girls can be fantastic. I have their album, it's great.

James 31-10-2005 09:39 AM

The blonde one doesn't do much singing, does she? She must be the Posh Spice of the group. :hugesmile:

Siouxsie 31-10-2005 12:53 PM

well i suppose you would like the irish girls Lance

ThaGazBoi 31-10-2005 04:55 PM

Conway sisters are growing on me, and are one of my faves

Well I've had their album and stuff since before they went on the show so...no. I've always quite liked them, tbh I don't like them as much on the show.

They don't suit doing covers and all that stuff...:rolleyes:

CharlotteSometimes 01-11-2005 05:15 PM

I think their take on the idea of 'harmony' is really quite novel. It has much in common with my ability to juggle elephants, in fact.

Siouxsie 01-11-2005 08:53 PM

:nono::nono::nono:

CharlotteSometimes 02-11-2005 02:07 AM

I'm sorry, Scoobs - I promise I'll be kinder to elephants in future.

bringbackscience 13-11-2005 12:04 PM

The Conway sisters are crap, nearly as bad as Chico imo

sol 13-11-2005 12:15 PM

I think that the Conway's are talented but not as talented as Maria, yes, i would compare them to a poor-man's Corrs too, and im surprised that the judges havent picked up the Corrs vibe yet :conf:

Maybe its cause they know they aint up to their standard - shhhhh :laugh:

But nah, they're still one of my faves, I think i want Brenda to win most now :dance:

Dan_ 13-11-2005 03:11 PM

I really don't like their voices or attitude.

Ruth 13-11-2005 03:36 PM

No, I don't like their attitude either. They were really not happy about Simon criticising them, but he was just being honest.

CharlotteSometimes 14-11-2005 09:03 AM

I think their attitude is their only real asset.

Ruth 14-11-2005 09:09 AM

I do like people who are not afraid to stand up for themselves, but they threw their teddy out of the pram and refused to let Simon mentor them this week, just because he rightly criticised their performance last week. I mean, do they expect him to lie to them or something?

CharlotteSometimes 14-11-2005 09:28 AM

Did that really happen, though? They were off being pampered at Simon's expense midweek, whilst he was (almost certainly) in America doing stuff for AI. And at rehearsals, the voice coach from Simon's team was there working with them. Other than choosing the song without his input, perhaps, they were hardly left to their own devices.

Siouxsie 15-11-2005 09:47 PM

not a fan at aLL

Pipergun 15-11-2005 09:49 PM

Not a fan, yet not a hater... distinctly unimpressed :bored: There are worse tho!

*HINT: Siggy!* :laugh::laugh:

ThaGazBoi 15-11-2005 10:01 PM

I like them, But they should NOT in a million years have beaten Maria :mad:
