MCFLY; Tom is engaged!

[Nicky.]

If you have been on twitter this evening, you might have seen this, but still!

But a while ago Tom said he would love for Star Girl to be played in space, so the loving McFly fans that are, thought we would make this happen! and we did!

We tweeted for days on end #stargirlinspace - until eventually NASA (@NASA) took notice, and emailed Tom saying they're up for it! This was about 2 months ago now... and tonight.... NASA tweeted -

Star Girl by McFly to be played in space! The station crew will hear the song during the Oct. 21.

Tom tweeted all these -

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!! RT @NASA Star Girl by McFly to be played in space! The station crew will hear the song during the Oct. 21 ISS Tweetup.

@NASA That's the coolest news I've EVER heard! Thank you!!!!!!

Well done all my followers who tweeted #stargirlinspace all those months ago! Our song is being played in SPACE!!!!!!

Ha, star girl is trending! Awesome. Me and Dougie are sitting in the room we wrote it in. So happy right now :D


and Dougie wrote -

Danny dating Pixie Lott?


Pop Princess and McFly star Danny Jones have been secretly dating

I'm liking this news a Lott . . . pop princess PIXIE and McFLY star DANNY JONES have been secretly dating.

Cheeky lead singer Danny texted gorgeous Pixie to see if she fancied going clubbing and sparks soon began to fly.

Last night a pal of his told me: "Danny has fancied Pixie for ages and when she was touring with the Saturdays, he asked his bandmate Dougie to put in a good word."

DOUGIE POYNTER, 21, is currently dating Saturdays singer FRANKIE SANDFORD - and when Pix heard that Danny, 23, was interested she jumped at the chance to meet him.

A friend of the Mama Do singer revealed: "Pixie is very particular when it comes to guys and she hasn't really had a proper boyfriend before. She's always very career focused.

"But now her career is on the right track she is determined to find herself a nice guy.

"She really likes Danny and she thinks they have chemistry."

But Pixie, 18, has been warned to watch herself around ladies man Danny, who this year dated and then dumped Miss England LAURA COLEMAN.

But one of Pixie's mates said: "She is no idiot and can spot a womaniser a mile off. But Danny isn't like that. He is very honest and she thinks they could be really good together.

"It is still very early days for them. But at the moment the signs are very good. They have been texting each other a lot."

Pixie, who won the MTV Europe Award for best new act from the UK and Ireland, recently told me about the kind of guy she wanted to date.

She said: "I'm always on the hunt for a man. It kind of depends on that first impression.

"But looks-wise I kind of just like the messy kind of hair and someone who dresses nice as well." Messy hair? Snappy dresser? Now that does sound familiar.

Another of Pixie's pals agreed: "Danny is definitely the kind of guy she usually goes for. She really loves musicians and creative guys who just want to have a good time all the time."

Pixie has had two No 1s since appearing on the scene - Mama Do and follow-up Boys And Girls. Her debut album, Turn It Up, reached No 6.

The pal added: "Pixie has everything - fame, fortune and stunning good looks - but now she really wants a nice boyfriend.

"She loves to party but now she's looking for love."

Star Girl is being played in space tomorrow! - 4.30pm our time!

Few articles about it -
Heat -

McFly are out of this world! Literally!

We literally can't think of anything much more impressive than having your very own song played in actual space, but that's exactly what the lovely McFly boys have managed to do – with a little help from their fans. What started as one little Tweet on Twitter generated enough demand for NASA to take notice, and tomorrow morning (11.30am EDT) McFly's hit Star Girl will be played on the international space station currently orbiting the earth. Amazing, no?! Tom Fletcher from McFly is a huge fan of all-things intergalatic, so he especially is thrilled, calling it "stellar news". Very clever Tom, very clever. The song will be played to the astronauts aboard the space station and is all part of a NASA "Tweetup", where 35 people will get to talk to the astronauts via Twitter. NASA TV and website will be giving live coverage of the event including showing the full-length video of McFly’s Star Girl. We're so thrilled for them! In fact, you could say it's out of this world... To find out more, go to NASA at www.nasa.gov/home/

PS. We've just noticed that Danny is floating in this picture! Brilliant!


The Sun - McFly me to the moon
MCFLY'S music is to be beamed into outer space.

TOM, DANNY, DOUGIE and HARRY's 2006 hit Star Girl will be played on the International Space Station tomorrow morning after their super supporters bombarded NASA with Tweets on networking site Twitter.

The agency were asking for trouble by making an offer on the site for 35 lucky people to talk live to the astronauts circling the earth.

But most of those replying to the Tweet were McFly lovers - and just wanted to make sure anyone trapped in space didn't miss out on classic lyrics such as: "I was afraid when you kissed me/on your intergalactical Frisbee."

And other gems including: "There's nothing on Earth that could save us/when I feel in love with Uranus."

Space chiefs finally bowed to pressure from the fans and as part of the event the lads' song will be played for the astronauts to hear.

It will even be shown on NASA's website.


DS -
McFly track to be played to astronauts
McFly's 2006 hit single 'Star Girl' will be played to NASA astronauts tomorrow morning.

Fans of the boyband orchestrated a Twitter campaign to get their number one track played by the US public space programme after it offered 35 people the chance to talk live to astronauts circling earth.

The majority of responses to NASA were from fans of the group requesting that it played the song, which includes the lyric: "There's nothing on Earth that could save us, when I feel in love with Uranus." The event will be shown on NASA's website.

McFly are currently working on their fifth studio album, which is rumoured to have a sci-fi theme based on Fred M. Wilcox's Forbidden Planet.

Star Girl in space was actually amazing!

They played it once, then the signal from the station got cut off, so the man had to explain, and then said it was dedicated to all the McFly fans, who had tweeted them everytime they tweeted! THAT'S US!

Then everyone was ****zing so so much! Then the next thing we knew, it was being played again because it got cut off the first time!! Will post a video when someone YouTubes it Xx

They're currently out in Spain doing a couple of gigs, then they're off to the USA to write some more!

They wrote with Taio Cruz last week too, they wrote it on twittterrr :D said they wrote an awesome song with him!

and this was posted in an article - "Taio has also recently been working with guitar-based pop group McFly on revolutionising their sound.

He revealed: "I was in the studio with them last week and they play their instruments very well. They are really talented and it was easy to come up with a song together.""

Gonna be sweeeeeet >.<

[Nicky.]

Absolute Radio have been running a nationwide poll to find the Song Of The Decade. The results have been published and McFly scored an incredible 16 songs inside the top 50 – that’s 32% of the top 50 songs belong to McFly!!! Their highest scoring song was at an impressive No.7 for their debut single ‘5 Colours In Her Hair’

http://songofthedecade.com/chart.php

:D :D :D :D

[MrGaryy]

oh come on. I don;t mean to be negative, but I think we all know 5 Colours in her Hair is not the 7th best song of the decade LOL.

[Sam!]

Bit of a crappy chart Nic, like every song in the chart is a rock/poprock song so yeh. :thumbs:

[InOne]

That chart is like an Indie wankfast. Sorry dear.

[Nicky.]

If you're all going to moan about it, you should have voted... every song was up for it!

[BigSister]

Like, OMG D: him, his mum and his dad got hit by a taxi in their car D:

Had a car crash in my parents car. Everyones fine. Crazy cab hit us and dads lovely Jag saved us all...but it got wrecked in the process.

Just thankful we're all alive! Dads devistated about his car, I gave it to him as a present. Seatbelts and airbags literally saved mum and dads life tonight!

In for a long night at the hospital. What a shock! Things could have been so much worse. Dad is such a careful driver! Shame others aren't.

Yeah, not a scratch on me, she spun us around to face the other direction! Minor injuries for my parents. My door flew open after she hit us

Think I might have hit myself in the nose during it though...what a twerp!

Dad all checked, whiplash and some scratches and bruises! Mums up next. Festive cheer all round!

Finally back home. Thanks for all your tweets of love :) Seriously though, seat belts saved our lives tonight so you MUST WEAR THEM!!!

Going off to bed now folks. Goodnight and drive safely! Love to you all. x

^From twitter! Like, omg :( soo glad they're all ok! Xx

[InOne]

Glad they ok and that!

[Nicky.]

Aw thanks xD I do look slightly demented, but aha! So what, it's Dave :')

[InOne]

Ahhh right, who is Dave???? Is he famous?

[Nicky.]

Not to you, lol :3

He was lead singer of a band called Reemer... http://www.myspace.com/reemerband but they split in August, and he's now solo >.< http://www.myspace.com/davehunteronline

He writes all his own stuff, he wrote all of Reemers songs too, so he's fine on his own :D

Reemer supported McFly in '08, that's how I knew of them :)

Top Music & Cine - http://www.mcflyportugal.com/galeria/thumbnails.php?album=606

Tom, Danny, Dougie and Harry (also known as McFly) were in Spain on the 1st and 2nd of December to promote their new edition of Radio:Active and play a gig for Sessions Myspace. Obviously Top Music&Cine got to meet them...

Hello boys! It's not the first time you're in Spain, what do you think of our country?
Danny: We love it, wonderful place!
Tom: The food is great and the fans are lovely and very passioned. Yesterday when we got to the airport they were waiting for us and were very nice.
Dougie: It's very weird coming to Spain when it's cold, people only come here on vacation for the heat! (laughs)

Your music is reaching out to everyone in various places, what's the secret of your success?
Tom: I have no idea... It's a combination of various things. We do our job the best way we can and we're all best mates. That makes everything easier. And, of course, we have incredible fans.

And they're from all around the world...
Tom: Yes, we only found that out this year, because we travelled a lot more. We knew we had fans in Europe, South America and Australia thanks to the internet, but now we can see it for ourselves.
Do you try to give your fans as much attention as you can?
Dougie: We try to interact with them as much as possible, for example in concerts.

And through the internet?
Tom: Yeah, we use Twitter and Myspace so we can be "connected" to the fans.
Playing live is one of the things musicians most appreciate. What's the best part of being on stage for you?
Danny: One of the best moments is when the crowd sings along with me.
Dougie: Yeah, when they sing and jump!

Can you remember any funny situation that has happened on stage?
Tom: Many of them! Once, Harry fell in the middle of the stage.

If you weren't on a band, what would like to be doing?
Danny: Football.
Dougie: I'd like to be a woman.
Tom: And I'd like to be your husband (laughs)
Harry: Honestly, I don't know...
Danny: Harry would be a knight.

McFly... and the girls!
We already know they are very popular amongst their fans, but are they that good with women? We were told told Harry is the most successful, but he assured us that's only because he doesn't have a girlfriend. It's proved that in a perfect interview with them there has to be "chatting, fun and laughs". And these boys are super down to earth and have lots of fun with normal things like sports and going out. We're sure a lot of girls wouldn't mind joining them, right?

Super Pop - http://www.mcflyportugal.com/galeria/thumbnails.php?album=598

Their concert on Sessions Myspace was a total success. We got to chat with Tom Fletcher, singer and guitarist of the band that is rocking all over the world.

Hello Tom! Congratulations on the new album! What can you tell us about it?
Hey! Thank you, you are going to love the special edition of Radio:Active! There's a DVD with one of our concerts and backstage footage.

This is the second time you're in Spain. What do you think about Spanish fans?
They're really amazing! When we landed in Spain there were lots of fans waiting for us. They welcomed us big! They're very passionate. Incredible!

How would you describe your concerts?
Going on stage is the best thing in the world. It makes you feel alive. Plus seeing the crowd completely into the music... it's a wonderful feeling.

How are the McFly boys off stage?
We're just ourselves. Always fooling around.

Describe your friends in one word.
Danny is funny. Dougie is unique and Harry is the leader! ha ha ha. Truth is, they're the best.

What are your future plans?
Record a new album in 2010!

Star 2 - http://www.mcflyportugal.com/galeria/thumbnails.php?album=599

They've come back to Spain and got a little time in their schedule for us. Spending some time with them is like a laughing-therapy!

Hello boys, you just got back from the Canaria Islands, how did things go around there?
Great, it was really hot! We went out for drinks just in the first day.

Did you like the spanish parties?
A lot! You stay up so late...

What time did you go to sleep?
Around 5a.m. In England we stay up 'til 3a.m. max!

You must be very tired...
A little, that's why we want to go to bed early today.

Dougie's birthday was a few days ago, what present did you give him?
Lots of love and good advice.

Advice? Something going on?
Well, let's say he needs to keep his feet on the ground... hahaha.

You've been in our country a couple of times now, what Spanish words do you know?
Hola chicas, guapas, buenas noches!

Very good! It's been proved when you're on stage, anything can happen...
We're not shy at all when we're in front of the crowd. They make our embarrassment go away.

And before the gig, how do you get ready?
We do a little exercise, stretching... Those kind of things to relax a bit.

Do you get nervous?
We don't feel nervous, but we get very excited.

We're addicted to your YouTube videos! How do you get ideas for that?
Sometimes we lose our minds. During tours we fool around a lot and stuff like that just happens.

Who's the funniest?
Harry!!

If you could have your own movie, how would it be?
It'd have to be a lot of action and a bit of romance.

You've done a lot of covers... Any new one in mind?
We really like What'cha by Jason Derulo.

What song would you never be able to cover?
"Passarinhos a Bailar"! hahah [don't know how the name of that song in english, sorry.]

How's a day in McFly's life?
We wake up around 10a.m. and take our dogs for a walk. In our free time we like to play football and golf, and we also like to go online or play the guitar. We've just decorated our houses for Christmas, made the christmas tree...

Before we finish, in 2010...
We want to have a good year, have lots of fun, be very healthy and look like Robert Pattinson, hahah.


Between other questions...

- We couldn't stop laughing! When they told us the youngest had to keep his feet on the ground, Dougie took of and showed us his shoes making no ceremonies! Yes, yes he did get bare foot and put his feet on top of the table. No, he didn't smell bad!
- Plus they're dancing kings! They know how to move their bodies and gave us a little demonstration. During the interview they danced "Passarinhos a Bailar" and also Macarena. They're brilliant.
-They have various Tattoos so we asked them how many they were on total. To be honest,all we wanted was to see them, hahaha. The boys didn't think twice and showed them to us! We get shiny eyes just by remembering that moment...

anddd... Dougie won sexiest lad of the year -

EEE! From Heat :) (this is sososo cute!)

Danny Jones tells us about opera singing and McFly's VERY exciting new album

While Rochelle, Frankie, Una and Mollie were busy taking over our Twitter and doing strange (but hilarious) things to heatgeek, heatworld was also off hanging out with Danny from McFly at the launch for Popstar To Operastar. Danny is very excited about putting on his posh voice and singing in Italian, and said he's VERY chuffed with all the support he's getting from his heatworld fans. "The support is brilliant," he said, "And the boys will be there for me, too. I've said I want them in my dressing room with me on Friday." Danny explained that when he first got offered the chance to be on the show he said no. But Tom, Dougie and Harry convinced him to "take one for the team" and he's going for it! We're mightly glad they're so persuasive. Just imagine staring at Danny¹s handsome face every Friday night for six weeks! Woop! The Saturdays¹ Vanessa White is also having a go at the old opera singing, and told us she's dead nervous about being without the other Saturdays. "People keep asking me whether we might get The Saturdays to sing opera," she giggled. "Imagine if the girls learnt some for the next album?" Now that we¹d love to see! Or hear. Danny also went on to tell us the McFly boys will be releasing their new album in the second half of 2010, and at the moment they're still writing new songs. "It's going to be brilliant," he grinned. We can¹t wait!

Popstar To Operastar starts this Friday, at 9pm on ITV1. Will YOU be watching?

URGH at NOTW. Will they ever forget about it, that news was so last year.

[Nicky.]

Omg, that interview is stupid, I reckon he said some of it, but they thought I know, lets just make a big story out of this :( Poor guy! Hope it doesn't effect his training for Friday :( Xx

[outlawpete.]

Luckily danny is the sort of person that doesn't let things get to him...i hope.
He seems alright, it's just stupid brazilians (ofc) that are hating on him. Idiotttttts.

He probably just said about Georgia being the one and about PSTOS and they changed it all to make him out a willy.

[Nicky.]

FINALLY!
WE HAS A MCFLY SONG NAME. yahoooooooooo!

Tom tweeted:
Been recording vocals on a song called Hotel on a Hill. Nice little piano song that we've wanted to record for years

Then his mum said "@tommcfly I love that song, it's about time you recorded it X"

and a few years back Carrie (Toms sister) put on the McFly boards her favourite song was Hotel on a Hill..... and now, they're recording it! YAHOOOOOOO!

2 other songs that have been rumored are called 'Foolish' and 'Mona Lisa', because of twitter convos with Dallas Austin!

Here's some other stuff that Tom's said about album tracks:
1. One of the songs begins with the word/abbreviation 'I've'. Which is an awful lot to go on.
2. One of the songs is apparently the greatest love song ever. Tom said it was at least until he started singing on it ha ha
3. One of the songs is like Star Girl, in that it's about female aliens but it's a lot more subtle than Star Girl.
4. And there's also the 'feel-good' song of summer.
5. Another song according to Tom - '...It's about doing bad things and leading people down the weird, dark, scary path...'

[Princess]

Ooooh sounds very interesting! Bet you ****zed at the studio footage on PTO :p

[Nicky.]

When Dougie sang opera, omg, I literally died with laughter! HAHAHA! and his impression of Dan :') hahaha! :D

So yea, I did! Alot! and ommmm <3 Tom gets hotter by the minute! /shushes up.

I'm SO happy PTO is over right now! They probably wouldn't have recorded vocals on TWO songs today if Danno was still in it! Good times :D

Popstar To Opera Star continues on ITV1 tonight and we can’t wait to watch Delectable Darius once more. Although we are live blogging the show, we may be about an hour behind the rest of you, curse that awful Celebrity Big Brother!
We start with a tedious introduction of the judges. We know who Meat Loaf is! Move on please.

DANNY JONES
Like Darius, Danny Jones struggled with the whole singing in another language thing this week and after a crash course in Italian here repeatedly struggled with one particular phrase.
Although his performance wasn’t as technically good as either Darius’ or Kym’s, it’s almost a foregone conclusion that he will reach the final of the series. Danny has an army of McFly fans backing him and no doubt voting for him repeatedly!

Judges Comments
Katherine: Swoon!
Rolando: Danny you worked very hard and this was a dangerous piece for him. He really kept the operatic voice and I’m very proud of you.
Meat Loaf: Danny I applaud you, you were there every moment.
Lawrence: I thought that was a very mature performance. It was all about opera and pop Danny was left behind.

When we first heard that lots of celebs were going to be rounded up and taughtto sing opera for a new reality show, we admit, we didn't have very high hopes. However, with perhaps the exception of poor old Alex James (see video below), all the contestants did a really good job. Who knew Darius had such an impressive voice? And how beautiful did Vanessa from The Saturdays look in her princess dress? The biggest surprise of the night had to be McFly's Danny Jones, however, whose normal, growly rock voice was barely recognisable as he belted out this impressive performance. The girls in the audience were screaming, members of McFly (also in the audience) were almost crying tears of pride and lots ofy ou were going absolutely crazy on Twitter - especially when Danny ended with a nice grab of his crotch. Lovely stuff. Alex James did his best, bless him, but it ended up being more comedy than classical - and he was the first to be voted off. Have a watch of the two clips now and tell us YOUR views.

Popstar To Operastar: Voters Love Danny's Italian Job
SINGER Danny Jones is through to the next round of ITV1’s Popstar to Operastar show.
The Bolton musician was given rapturous applause from the audience after his Friday night performance. But before his song, Danny, whose normal day job is with boy band McFly, admitted he was having some language problems.
He said: “The hardest thing is learning the Italian. It is so hard, especially when you are from Bolton.” The 23-year-old even visited an Italian restaurant for a last-minute lesson. The Saturdays singer Vanessa White was voted off after appearing in the bottom two the previous week. The remaining contestants are Kym Marsh, Bernie Nolan, Jimmy Osmond, Darius Campbell and Marcella Detroit.

Radio Popstar To Operastar
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/opera/7061557/Dame-Kiri-Te-Kanawa-to-judge-Opera-X-factor.html
Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, one of the world's leading sopranos, will head a panel of judges scouring the country for new opera stars, the best of whom will showcase their talents on BBC Radio 2.
The launch of The Radio 2 Kiri Prize comes as leading opera singers have heavily criticised ITV 1's latest reality television show, Popstar to Operastar, for "cheapening" opera.
The show features celebrities including Alex James, a guitarist with the band Blur, Danny Jones from the boy band McFly and Kym Marsh, the Coronation Street actress, attempting to sing opera to a judging panel including Katherine Jenkins, the classical singer, and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, the television presenter.
Last week, Ian Storey, a leading tenor, said of the show: "My colleagues are angry and incredulous about Popstar to Operastar. A number of singers feel insulted. Alex James' ... onstage rock antics ridiculed opera as an art and cheapened the work that serious opera performers put in to become a performer."
The soprano Rebecca Evans was equally scathing: "It takes years of hard graft and dedication to become an opera singer," she said. "The series will give the wrong impression."

Touchy Feely Katherine Jenkins

http://entertainment.stv.tv/tv/153369-touchy-feely-teacher-katherine-jenkins/
Danny Jones from McFly has taken to twitter to highlight how close he is getting to Welsh opera star Katherine Jenkins during training for 'Popstar to Operastar'.
McFly's Danny Jones thinks Katherine Jenkins is a 'touchy-feely' teacher.
The Welsh opera diva is currently training Danny for 'Popstar to Operastar', and the 'Obviously' singer has taken to twitter to discuss Katherine's approach.
He said: "The teacher is touching me up."
Katherine, however, responded to the claims and said she has to get close to those she is teaching. The 29-year-old opera star said: "It is quite a physical thing we do. We do a lot of stuff with breathing and so I have to put my hands on the singers. But it's not like what Danny says on twitter. It wasn't like that. Honestly!"
Meanwhile, presenter Myleene Klass has hit out at critics of the show. The 31-year-old - a former student of the Royal Academy of Music - said those who dislike the reality show are "archaic". She told The Sun newspaper: "Criticising the show makes them feel a little bit important. But this archaic and prehistoric attitude is so boring. It shows how out of touch they are. It is such an obvious and easy route to take and I think a lot of it is to do with their age. If they are trying to protect a genre of music and keep it for a certain type of person, it just shows how antiquated their thinking is."

Myleene Klass has hit back at critics of new celeb talent show Popstar To Operastar, branding them "boring" and "out of touch". The show, in which stars such as McFly's Danny Jones and Jimmy Osmond are taught opera, has been described by some high-brow music fans as "ghastly vulgar trash". Host Myleene is having none of it, though, saying furiously, "It just shows how out of touch they are. I think a lot of it is to do with their age. If they are trying to protect a genre of music and keep it for a certain type of person, it just shows how antiquated their thinking is." Well said, Myleene. We think PSTOS is brilliant.

After the public vote placed him and McFly singer Danny Jones in the bottom two, all four judges - Katherine Jenkins, Meat Loaf, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and Villazon - decided Danny deserved to stay another week.

Following the decision, an emotional Jimmy said: 'My opera dreams have just begun. What a blast this has been. I'm going to go home and see my beautiful wife and four kids - they are opera to me. Opera is empowering, it's exciting and it's a way of getting in touch with your inner emotions. I have fallen in love with every person while taking part in this show.' Jones looked relieved at having been chosen to stay, particularly following a botched dress rehearsal earlier in the day where he had forgotten his lyrics.

Facing McFly star Danny Jones in the bottom two, the nerves appeared on both of the singers faces.
All four judges chose to save Jones, Osmond now follows in the footsteps of fellow celebrities Alex James and The Saturday’s Vanessa White. After the verdict, Osmond told host Alan Titchmarsh and Myleen Klass that he enjoyed his experience however he couldn’t wait to get back to his family.
“I’ve had a blast,” he said. Jones sang the well-known opera song Time to Say Goodbye, luckily for him he wont have to say goodbye just yet as he will perform again next week. Now, five stars remain to battle it out on the show, which continues next Friday at 9pm on STV.

Snobs Need a kick up all arias
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/2826015/Popstar-to-Operastars-Myleene-hits-out-at-critics.html
MYLEENE Klass has savaged snobby music critics who have slated her new show Popstar to Operastar, saying: "I will take them all on!" The presenter, 31, said she was furious with "ageing" pundits who have slammed the ITV1 show as "ghastly vulgar trash". The series features pop singers such as Kym Marsh and Jimmy Osmond attempting to learn opera. And former Royal Academy of Music student Myleene said of the snipers: "Criticising the show makes them feel a little bit important. But this archaic and prehistoric attitude is so boring. It just shows how out of touch they are. It is such an obvious and easy route to take and I think a lot of it is to do with their age."

Myleene - who fronts the ITV1 Friday night series with Alan Titchmarsh, 60 - also claimed that snooty critics NEED the popularity of crossover stars like Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts. She fumed to TV Biz: "Who do they think subsidises their baroque CDs, or is the reason they can continue to listen to renaissance albums? It is because popular artists subsidise them."

The beauty - whose grandmother was an opera singer - also laid into the moaners for claiming that the arias sung on the show are too easy. She insisted: "It is all very well them saying why don't they sing Wagner but everyone has to start somewhere." Myleene added: "If they are trying to protect a genre of music and keep it for a certain type of person, it just shows how antiquated their thinking is. It's easy for them to say this stuff from the comfort of their study but they should get up and have a go too. I'm willing to take on everybody!" The former Hear'Say singer went on: "If the critics thought about it they would see it's wonderful. They are finally getting a different genre of music on TV. These are pop stars who are trying to embrace a different way of singing."

Unreality TV
With all the Celebrity Big Brother final coverage, we managed to miss Popstar to Operastar last night, so we watched it today already knowing that Danny Jones ended up in the bottom two with Jimmy Osmond.
Listening to his performance, we’re not too surprised that the public didn’t rate him. much as we love Danny, he hasn’t got the chops for opera singing and his vocals are much weaker than some of his fellow contestants.

Judges Comments:
Katherine: “You found the energy and came out with some guts but I know you can do better.”
Rolando: “The bad news is that you were struggling technically all week and it was sometimes too much pop. The good news is you were nervous and you were still big on stage and that says a lot.”
Laurence: “I’m a huge fan of your voice and of most of your performances but that was B side . You didn’t engage with it in the same way but, as Rolando said, you fought so hard to make something of it and I’m extremely grateful.”

Popstar To Opera Star 2010 Betting Odds Have Danny Jones As Favourite With Jimmy Osmond Almost Certain To Go This Weekend

Friday 29 January 2010 at 13:02

Popstar To Opera Star 2010 Betting Odds have undergone many changes this week but Danny Jones remains the hot favourite to win whilst Jimmy Osmond looks a cert to be voted off this week.

Danny Jones Still Favourite But Darius Campbell And Kym Marsh FallDanny Jones, the frontman from popular band McFly, is the current favourite to win Popstar To Operastar and he can be backed at 3/1 with Betfred. He has always been the favourite to win and looks very solid at he head of the betting but there have been many other changes. Former second and third favourites, Darius Campbell and Kym Marsh, are now out to 9/2 with SkyBet and 5/1 with Paddy Power and Bet365 respectively. Two singers have jumped in front of them, the news second favourite is Bernie Nolan who is 4/1 with Bet365 and VC Bet whilst Marcella Detroit is 9/2 with Stan James but as short as 5/2 with SkyBet.
Jimmy Osmond The Complete Outsider But He Is Relatively Big Price To GoAll of this leaves just one more act, Jimmy Osmond. He is miles adrift of the other contenders and finds himself at 33/1 with SkyBet and Paddy Power and that means he is the hot favourite to leave the show this week. Bearing in mind how far he is off the other contenders he looks a very good price to go this week, he is available at 11/8 with VC Bet, Stan James and Bet365. Kym Marsh is next best in the elimination betting odds, she is 9/2 with Betfred and Coral. For more Popstar To Operastar Betting Odds click on any of the bookie links above.

Jimmy Osmond has become the latest casualty of Popstar To Operastar after losing out to McFly singer Danny Jones in the judges' vote.
The 70s chart-topper's luck ran out after he found himself in the bottom two for the second week running, after the remaining six celebrities had performed on Friday's show.
And for the first time this series the result was decided by judges' vote - with all four of them voting to save Jones.
However, Osmond insisted his dreams of performing opera were not over.
"You've got it all wrong," he told presenter Myleene Klass, "my opera dreams have just begun. What a blast this has been, I'm going to go home and see my beautiful wife and our four kids - that's opera to me."
"It's empowering, it's exciting, and it's a way of getting in touch with your inner self. And I have fallen in love with everyone on this contest."
Five celebrities - including Bernie Nolan, Kym Marsh, Darius Campbell and Marcella Detroit - remain in the competition.

Digital Spy
Jimmy Osmond has become the third contestant to be voted off Popstar To Operastar.
The former I'm A Celebity... star was placed in the bottom two alongside McFly's Danny Jones after the public vote.
The four judges were then asked to decide which singer was to remain in the competition. After some deliberation, all four selected Jones.
Following confirmation of his exit, Osmond told host Alan Titchmarsh that he enjoyed his stint on the show but was looking forward to returning home to his family. "I've had a blast!" he said.
Popstar To Operastar continues next Friday at 9pm on ITV1.

Popstar to Operastar: It’s not Time to Say Goodbye to singer Danny 9:00am Monday 1st February 2010
POP star Danny Jones almost jinxed himself when he sang Time To Say Goodbye in a celebrity TV talent contest.

The 23-year-old from Bromley Cross — singer and guitarist with pop band McFly — finished in the bottom two on ITV1’s Popstar to Operastar show on Friday. But he scraped through to week four after being spared by sympathetic judges, who instead said goodbye to fellow contestant Jimmy Osmond.

Danny chose the song made famous by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli, who took it to number 2 in the UK singles chart in 1997. Despite failing to lead the pack on Friday, Danny remains favourite of the remaining five artists to win competition. Betfred is offering odds of 3/1. Bernie Nolan, of the Nolan sisters, is second favourite.

Popstar to Operastar returns to ITV on Friday at 9pm.

Popstar To Opera Star Betting Odds See Marcella Detroit And Bernie Nolan Become Favourites
Monday 01 February 2010 at 11:29
Popstar To Operastar 2010 Betting Odds have been turned on their head over the weekend with former favourite Danny Jones now the complete outsider and Marcella Detroit and Bernie Nolan now the favourites to win.

Marcella Detroit And Bernie Nolan Now The Ones To BeatMarcella Detroit is now the narrow favourite to win Popstar To Operastar 2010, she is now rated at 7/4 with William Hill and Betfred despite not previously being considered a strong contender. Her performance over the weekend has clearly gone down well with the punters who have backed her into favouritism over Bernie Nolan, who is another to have previously been unconsidered. Nolan is now a 9/4 chance with Bet365 and Stan James and looks to have plenty going for her. The biggest move over the weekend was Danny Jones, the McFly frontman has drifted from 9/4 all the way out to 8/1 with Bet365 and Paddy Power.

Kym Marsh And Darius Campbell Now Look Unlikely WinnersThe other two contestants still in with a chance are Kym Marsh and Darius Campbell, both are closely matched in the Popstar To Operastar Betting Odds. Marsh is available at 11/2 with Bet365 and SkyBet whilst Campbell is 6/1 with SkyBet and Paddy Power. The drift on Danny Jones now makes him the most likely contender to leave next week, he is just 6/4 with Bet365 and Stan James to be eliminated next, ahead of Darius Campbell who is 5/2 with Bet365. Kym Marsh is also far from safe at 3/1 with Paddy Power and Stan James to go. For more Popstar To Opera Star 2010 Betting Odds click on any of the bookie links above.

Marcella Detroit Favourite On Popstar To OperastarHaving seen countless popstar wannabe auditions paraded on the X Factor and Britains Got Talent, watching the talented and less than able singers in their desperate search for fame and fortune, it is novel to see those who have had a successful career in the pop industry risk making complete fools of themselves on Popstar To Operastar.

The format had seemed like a recipe for disaster, with housewives favourite Alan Titmarsh at the helm and Meatloaf and Laurence Llewellyn Bowen as judges, it appeared that this might be a one off series that ITV would be keen to swiftly retire to the archives.

The critics are more flamboyant than informative but gravitas is leant to the proceedings with mentors, Katherine Jenkins and Rolando Villazon whose discipline and passion for their subject is compelling and infectious.

Their enthusiasm has certainly rubbed off on the contestants who may well have entered the competition to raise their flagging profiles and accept a handy cheque at the same time, but who seem to have truly entered into the Covent Garden Spirit.

Increase The Fun With A Free £50 bet with Paddy Power

Visibly apprehensive on the first show, the nerves effected performances across the board but with considerable hard work, as shown on the coaching footage, the Popstars are finding voices that neither they or the public ever thought was possible.

Marcella Detroit was impressive at the outset but now is clearly pulling away from her nearest rival Bernie Nolan. Her commanding voice in Shakespeare's Sister has found a new home in a range of Arias that have not only technical prowess but emotional force. In fact the women have all done well. No one would have thought that Kym Marsh from the unremarkable Hear Say would have found quite such a resonant voice.

The male contestants have not fared as well with only Darius, he of X factor fame and Danny Jones of McFly remaining. Danny led the Odds Table for a while but his young female fanbase seem to have abandoned him of late and he looks most likely to leave next.

Whilst those teenage texters may not have been compelled to stay with Danny or the programme, the experience has been refreshing Television. Seeing Celebrities not only attempting to learn a new skill but embracing and meeting a difficult challenge in the face of fragile egos has been good to watch. Only Laurence and Meatloaf and Alan need to be retired.

With a whole variety of Betting Options there is a good chance of improving the whole experience with a little flutter

Go watch it. You can't view it from outside the UK I don't think, nothing I can do about that and I can't actually upload to youtube myself. If I had the internet at my house I would but I'm using public computers for now.
In it Danny says he's feeling nervous. That McFly have started recording again (!!!) so the work load is building for him. He was so tired that one day the judges said he could stop singing during a lesson to rest his voice. He thinks Marcella is his biggest competition.

Here are eight screencaps.

Ask Danny anything (this is now closed)
http://www.heatworld.com/Entertainment/TV/2010/02/Ask-McFlys-Danny-Jones-anything/
When we first heard that McFly's Danny Jones was going to be taking part in Popstar To Operastar, we didn't know what to expect. However, over the past few weeks Danny has proved he has some serious operatic talent, and, if the screams are anything to go by, a lot of devoted female fans, too. Tomorrow morning, just because we're nice (and because we can), we're going to grab Danny for half an hour to ask him YOUR questions. How does he prepare his voice for all those long notes? What's happened to that pink jacket? Is Meat Loaf really as crazy as he looks? Get your McFly-addled caps on and post some questions below. We'll bring you all the answers and a brand new photo of Danny tomorrow.

Celebrity weddings are always a huge affair (especially if you work for OK! Magazine), so we thought we’d better get our gambling heads on and take a pop at who we think will be donning the white gowns and saying ‘I do’ this year.
That’s the question bookies Paddy Power are asking too as they take bets on who will be the first couple to tie the knot this year.
Who do you think it will be? Personally I’m praying Dougie Poynter see’s the light and comes knocking on my door… I wonder what the odds would be on that one?

5/2 Russell Brand & Katy Perry
3/1 Madonna & Jesus Luz
7/1 Alexa Chung & Alex Turner
8/1 Lewis Hamilton & Nicole Scherzinger
8/1 Declan Donnelly & Georgie Thompson
10/1 Kelly Brook & Danny Cipriani
10/1 Prince William & Kate Middleton
14/1 Katherine Jenkins & Gethin Jones
14/1 Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/playlist/view/120939/McFly-working-on-a-new-sound/
MCFLY are ditching their guitar sound for a “Prince meets Jacko” style re-invention.
The boyband are working on their fifth opus and singer/ guitarist Danny Jones is planning to team his purple shoes with a diamanté-encrusted glove for a pop-funk direction.
He told me: “We’ve got the material and are building up the McFly massacre. The album’s an absolute killer. It’s got a Prince and Michael Jackson influence.”
Danny and bandmates, singer Tom Fletcher, drummer Harry Judd, both 24, and bassist Dougie Poynter, 22, are creating the album with BRIT-nominated Taio Cruz, 26, and US super producer Dallas Austin, 39.
Danny added: “Taio’s a really cool guy. We’ve written tracks with him and we’re now trying to get him to produce one. It was awesome working with Dallas as he’s a bit of a party boy – he thinks he’s our fifth member. He’s coming over to the UK to produce four or five of the songs.”
Meanwhile, Danny’s been rehearsing for ITV1’s Popstar To Operastar. The 23-year-old said: “It’s taken over my life. It’s out of my comfort zone and more nerve-racking than performing arena dates with the band. If I win I could maybe do a duets album with Susan Boyle – or get McFly to support me at the Royal Albert Hall.”
That I would like to see.

Danny Answers Heatworld
http://www.heatworld.com/Entertainment/TV/2010/02/McFlys-Danny-Jones-answers-YOUR-questions/
http://www.heatworld.com/images/93030_610x370_STD/2010/2/images/Danny_main.jpg
Danny Jones is used to being on a stage surrounded by his three McFly bandmates and clutching a guitar, so it must be an odd transition for him to step out onto the stage on his lonesome every Friday night and sing opera. Still, being Danny, he's taken it all in his stride and is actually doing an amazing job. When we met him yesterday for a chat at the London Studios he looked exhausted, yes, but full of enthusiasm for the challenge ahead. "I'm dreaming opera," he admitted. "It's taken over my life!" We also found out a tiny bit of info about those secret projects, but Danny wasn't giving much away. "The album will be summer time," he said. "There's a couple of secret projects. Tom's got one, Dougie's got one. I need to get one! Harry's just learning his drums every day, that's his secret project." Danny's the only one of the Popstar To Operastar contestants to have screaming girls in the audience every week, and he can't thank his fans enough. As promised, we asked him as many of your questions as we could, even though most of them were about him getting naked! Read the full interview below and make sure you tune in to watch Danny in action tonight. You might even spot an excited heatworlder or two in the audience...

Popstar To Operastar, tonight, ITV1, 9pm

NickyLovesMcFly asks: What's the hardest thing about singing opera?
The language, definitely. It's getting the placement and the Italian that are my weaknesses.

skyfullofstars asks: What's it like backstage on PSTOS? Does everyone get along well or is there a bit of rivalry?
At first, we used to all get a bit of lunch and have dinner together, but as it's got more serious we stay in our dressing rooms and practice. It's getting more intense now. Everyone's really nice, it's fine.

McFrankie asks: What's your definition of swoon?
Jude Law is swoon. He walks past girls and they're like...phwoar. I didn't know what swoon meant at first.

PascaleDeBom asks: Do you think you're achieving your goal to make opera music cool?
YES! If you go and see a good opera it's like watching an amazing musical. Opera seems really intimidating. I really wanna go, I'm going to start going. Maybe they'll ask me to be in one...?

McFloor asks: If you could have a super-power for one day, what would it be?
This week...to be the best opera singer ever! [Laughs.] I'd like to be the strongest man in the world, but to go and break up fights. I'd go into riots and go...'NO'. I'd love to have the power to just stop a thousand men.

PascaleDeBom asks: Does having the other McFly boys in the audience every week distract you?
When I'm singing I don't really look because I'm in the moment, but around the show I always look at them and give them high-fives and stuff. It's quite funny.

skyfullofstars asks: What's the one thing that makes you smile?
The boys trying to sing opera! They are funny - and they're all rubbish. I didn't have enough time to teach them, really. I just put them through the paces and what I've been through, like, fish impressions and stuff [stops and opens and closes his mouth like a fish]. You have to do a lot of that in opera.

paulaamorimf asks: How is your throat doing with all the singing?
I am feeling a bit under the weather today. I'm getting aches, I've got a sore throat and my ears are blocked. I dunno what's wrong with me. I think I'm just getting a bit run down.

Loreeen asks: What are the 5 things you can't live without?
Something I can do without is my dog s****ing on my kitchen floor! He just doesn't get it. Wee outside, dude! Anyway, what are the five things I can't live without? Music! Family...erm...my toaster. Sex, because that's natural for a man. And...Vanilla lattes.
heatworld: Not McFly?!
Oh...s**t! Can I have six? Or McFly and sex on the same line.

RebeccaMasters asks: You're pretty busy at the moment, rehearsing for PSTOS and keeping up with McFly and arranging future plans. How do you manage to cope with it all?
It's quite tough, actually. I try to fit in McFly because we've just started to record. You're up at 9, you're here till 5, then you go home and have dinner and by that time it's like 6/7 and you just sort of wanna chill. I've not even been going to the gym or anything, which I wanna do. I did fit in football in the other night.

NikiNoo asks: How do you get your teeth so perfect?
Teeth?! They're not perfect. I've got a little invisible brace, can you see it? [Opens his mouth wide so we can peer in.]
heatworld: Um, no...

StarGirlALA asks: What's the thing you're most proud of?
The new McFly album. We've got the materials and now we're just building it. The McFly massacre!

ShaunaLee asks: Describe your PSTOS experience in one word.
Interesting...

carolineeilovemcfly asks: Will McFly get naked on the next tour? PLEASE!!
We'll only get naked if I get time to go to the gym before the tour. The boys have been working out without me while I've been doing the opera. I need to catch up - I've lost my six-pack!

LetitSnow asks: Would you turn a McFly song into an opera-McFly song?
It would be quite cool, that. With this new secret project, there's going to be opportunities for stuff like that. For stuff like that it's going to be great.

keetkeets asks: How much would you charge if I were to hire you to sing opera?
I dunno. Because I'm out of my comfort zone I'd have to double my price. Depends how many songs, too. Hiring the whole band would cost 90 grand...in cash!

Farewell Jimmy! That can only be only be described as a Viking funeral of a performance that will live in our hearts forever.

There really wasn’t a dry eye in the house as he finally turned his back on Las Vegas, Nevada and pointed resolutely in the direction of La Scala Milan. Yes I know technically there was a lot that could have been better but to me the point was that the performance wasn’t the non-stick, slick slippery perfection of his frankly cheesy Volare last week. Don’t get me wrong, I dig cheese and as far as Volare’s go, Mr Osmond’s Volare would make my ideal ring tone.

Katherine actually went as far as to suggest that every time I walked into a room it should be piped to accompany me. But it was wonderful to see this hard-working, seasoned performer slide under the skin of showbiz and find a whole new world of pulsating, dangerously-emotional opera.

But the really big news was not the performances but the brownies. Having tantalised us for far too long, Katherine Jenkins finally came in with an Emma Bridgewater cake tin full of brownies. It brought rehearsals to a standstill as the whole studio crew swooped as one like a flock of carrion crows attracted by the whiff of Dame Jenkins' chocolately offering.

On matters culinary we all received a present from beyond the Opera star grave. Everyone’s favourite floppy-fringed, pop prefect Alex James sent us all a brown cardboard box with our own individual portion of one of his finest blue vieners. In fact as I blog, the powerful wafts of Alex’s prize-winning cheese are making me feel extremely hungry.

We’re now of course half way through the contest and the game is hotting up . There were some staggering performances - Marcella having been rather defeated by gravity with her concrete winged butterfly last week soared to celestial heights with an extraordinarily accomplished Queen of the Night cunningly accessorised by a barnet of twisted blue dreadlocks.

Bernie, who is rapidly becoming the safe pair of hands in our operatic tournament, turned in a text-book very nearly professional standard Cherubino from Mozart's hit-packed rom-com, Marriage of Figaro; Kym made a compelling but rather too posh Carmen. I wonder whether she was a bit too distracted by her fan? Whilst Darius, in the words of my esteemed, critical colleague Lord Loaf of Meatfordshire, used the medium of operatic aria to sell Condos in Granada.

But it was Danny McFly who struggled this week and ended up alongside the late-lamented Jimmy in the bottom two. I had a brief moral struggle but I decided to save Danny to fight another day because I feel he does have the potentially to show us all an extraordinarily vigorous operatic talent.

As Rolando said, the song was bringing him down but like the boy standing on the burning deck he wasn’t going to give in and although it was a very flawed performance, he used every single fibre of his being to try and turn it around.

So onward and upward, week four comes into view and the entire production team and I have made a secret pact to ensure that Mighty Meatloaf is denied the blue smarties which we hope will mean that this week he stays in his seat.

Heatworld In For A Treat (Friday)
http://www.heatworld.com/Entertainment/TV/2010/02/McFly-fans-are-in-for-a-treat-tonight/
Where there's one member of McFly, there's bound to be another three not far away - and tonight the whole band will be appearing on Popstar To Operastar. As well as practising practically in his sleep, Danny Jones also made time to teach Tom, Dougie and Harry a spot of opera this week - and the results are hilarious. Let's just say we think it's highly unlikely that the boys will be including any operatic tracks on their new album this summer... Still, watching them belt one out on tonight's show is going to be very amusing. And just what are they doing with their arms in this picture?! Make sure you tune in to find out.

Popstar To Opera Star continues on ITV1 tonight and we can’t wait to watch Delectable Darius once more. Although we are live blogging the show, we may be about an hour behind the rest of you, curse that awful Celebrity Big Brother!
We start with a tedious introduction of the judges. We know who Meat Loaf is! Move on please.

DANNY JONES
Like Darius, Danny Jones struggled with the whole singing in another language thing this week and after a crash course in Italian here repeatedly struggled with one particular phrase.
Although his performance wasn’t as technically good as either Darius’ or Kym’s, it’s almost a foregone conclusion that he will reach the final of the series. Danny has an army of McFly fans backing him and no doubt voting for him repeatedly!

Judges Comments
Katherine: Swoon!
Rolando: Danny you worked very hard and this was a dangerous piece for him. He really kept the operatic voice and I’m very proud of you.
Meat Loaf: Danny I applaud you, you were there every moment.
Lawrence: I thought that was a very mature performance. It was all about opera and pop Danny was left behind.

When we first heard that lots of celebs were going to be rounded up and taughtto sing opera for a new reality show, we admit, we didn't have very high hopes. However, with perhaps the exception of poor old Alex James (see video below), all the contestants did a really good job. Who knew Darius had such an impressive voice? And how beautiful did Vanessa from The Saturdays look in her princess dress? The biggest surprise of the night had to be McFly's Danny Jones, however, whose normal, growly rock voice was barely recognisable as he belted out this impressive performance. The girls in the audience were screaming, members of McFly (also in the audience) were almost crying tears of pride and lots ofy ou were going absolutely crazy on Twitter - especially when Danny ended with a nice grab of his crotch. Lovely stuff. Alex James did his best, bless him, but it ended up being more comedy than classical - and he was the first to be voted off. Have a watch of the two clips now and tell us YOUR views.

Popstar To Operastar: Voters Love Danny's Italian Job
SINGER Danny Jones is through to the next round of ITV1’s Popstar to Operastar show.
The Bolton musician was given rapturous applause from the audience after his Friday night performance. But before his song, Danny, whose normal day job is with boy band McFly, admitted he was having some language problems.
He said: “The hardest thing is learning the Italian. It is so hard, especially when you are from Bolton.” The 23-year-old even visited an Italian restaurant for a last-minute lesson. The Saturdays singer Vanessa White was voted off after appearing in the bottom two the previous week. The remaining contestants are Kym Marsh, Bernie Nolan, Jimmy Osmond, Darius Campbell and Marcella Detroit.

Radio Popstar To Operastar
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/opera/7061557/Dame-Kiri-Te-Kanawa-to-judge-Opera-X-factor.html
Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, one of the world's leading sopranos, will head a panel of judges scouring the country for new opera stars, the best of whom will showcase their talents on BBC Radio 2.
The launch of The Radio 2 Kiri Prize comes as leading opera singers have heavily criticised ITV 1's latest reality television show, Popstar to Operastar, for "cheapening" opera.
The show features celebrities including Alex James, a guitarist with the band Blur, Danny Jones from the boy band McFly and Kym Marsh, the Coronation Street actress, attempting to sing opera to a judging panel including Katherine Jenkins, the classical singer, and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, the television presenter.
Last week, Ian Storey, a leading tenor, said of the show: "My colleagues are angry and incredulous about Popstar to Operastar. A number of singers feel insulted. Alex James' ... onstage rock antics ridiculed opera as an art and cheapened the work that serious opera performers put in to become a performer."
The soprano Rebecca Evans was equally scathing: "It takes years of hard graft and dedication to become an opera singer," she said. "The series will give the wrong impression."

http://entertainment.stv.tv/tv/153369-touchy-feely-teacher-katherine-jenkins/
Danny Jones from McFly has taken to twitter to highlight how close he is getting to Welsh opera star Katherine Jenkins during training for 'Popstar to Operastar'.
McFly's Danny Jones thinks Katherine Jenkins is a 'touchy-feely' teacher.
The Welsh opera diva is currently training Danny for 'Popstar to Operastar', and the 'Obviously' singer has taken to twitter to discuss Katherine's approach.
He said: "The teacher is touching me up."
Katherine, however, responded to the claims and said she has to get close to those she is teaching. The 29-year-old opera star said: "It is quite a physical thing we do. We do a lot of stuff with breathing and so I have to put my hands on the singers. But it's not like what Danny says on twitter. It wasn't like that. Honestly!"
Meanwhile, presenter Myleene Klass has hit out at critics of the show. The 31-year-old - a former student of the Royal Academy of Music - said those who dislike the reality show are "archaic". She told The Sun newspaper: "Criticising the show makes them feel a little bit important. But this archaic and prehistoric attitude is so boring. It shows how out of touch they are. It is such an obvious and easy route to take and I think a lot of it is to do with their age. If they are trying to protect a genre of music and keep it for a certain type of person, it just shows how antiquated their thinking is."

Myleene SLAMS Popstar To Operastar critics
http://www.heatworld.com/Celeb-News/2010/01/The-9-0Clock-News--Wed-27-Jan/
Myleene Klass has hit back at critics of new celeb talent show Popstar To Operastar, branding them "boring" and "out of touch". The show, in which stars such as McFly's Danny Jones and Jimmy Osmond are taught opera, has been described by some high-brow music fans as "ghastly vulgar trash". Host Myleene is having none of it, though, saying furiously, "It just shows how out of touch they are. I think a lot of it is to do with their age. If they are trying to protect a genre of music and keep it for a certain type of person, it just shows how antiquated their thinking is." Well said, Myleene. We think PSTOS is brilliant.

After the public vote placed him and McFly singer Danny Jones in the bottom two, all four judges - Katherine Jenkins, Meat Loaf, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and Villazon - decided Danny deserved to stay another week.

Following the decision, an emotional Jimmy said: 'My opera dreams have just begun. What a blast this has been. I'm going to go home and see my beautiful wife and four kids - they are opera to me. Opera is empowering, it's exciting and it's a way of getting in touch with your inner emotions. I have fallen in love with every person while taking part in this show.' Jones looked relieved at having been chosen to stay, particularly following a botched dress rehearsal earlier in the day where he had forgotten his lyrics.

Jimmy Osmond has become the third celebrity to be voted off Popstar to Operastar.
Facing McFly star Danny Jones in the bottom two, the nerves appeared on both of the singers faces.
All four judges chose to save Jones, Osmond now follows in the footsteps of fellow celebrities Alex James and The Saturday’s Vanessa White. After the verdict, Osmond told host Alan Titchmarsh and Myleen Klass that he enjoyed his experience however he couldn’t wait to get back to his family.
“I’ve had a blast,” he said. Jones sang the well-known opera song Time to Say Goodbye, luckily for him he wont have to say goodbye just yet as he will perform again next week. Now, five stars remain to battle it out on the show, which continues next Friday at 9pm on STV.
Who will be next celebrity to face the dreaded bottom two, find out next week?

Snobs Need a kick up all arias
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/2826015/Popstar-to-Operastars-Myleene-hits-out-at-critics.html
MYLEENE Klass has savaged snobby music critics who have slated her new show Popstar to Operastar, saying: "I will take them all on!" The presenter, 31, said she was furious with "ageing" pundits who have slammed the ITV1 show as "ghastly vulgar trash". The series features pop singers such as Kym Marsh and Jimmy Osmond attempting to learn opera. And former Royal Academy of Music student Myleene said of the snipers: "Criticising the show makes them feel a little bit important. But this archaic and prehistoric attitude is so boring. It just shows how out of touch they are. It is such an obvious and easy route to take and I think a lot of it is to do with their age."

Myleene - who fronts the ITV1 Friday night series with Alan Titchmarsh, 60 - also claimed that snooty critics NEED the popularity of crossover stars like Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts. She fumed to TV Biz: "Who do they think subsidises their baroque CDs, or is the reason they can continue to listen to renaissance albums? It is because popular artists subsidise them."

The beauty - whose grandmother was an opera singer - also laid into the moaners for claiming that the arias sung on the show are too easy. She insisted: "It is all very well them saying why don't they sing Wagner but everyone has to start somewhere." Myleene added: "If they are trying to protect a genre of music and keep it for a certain type of person, it just shows how antiquated their thinking is. It's easy for them to say this stuff from the comfort of their study but they should get up and have a go too. I'm willing to take on everybody!" The former Hear'Say singer went on: "If the critics thought about it they would see it's wonderful. They are finally getting a different genre of music on TV. These are pop stars who are trying to embrace a different way of singing."

Unreality TV
With all the Celebrity Big Brother final coverage, we managed to miss Popstar to Operastar last night, so we watched it today already knowing that Danny Jones ended up in the bottom two with Jimmy Osmond.
Listening to his performance, we’re not too surprised that the public didn’t rate him. much as we love Danny, he hasn’t got the chops for opera singing and his vocals are much weaker than some of his fellow contestants.

Judges Comments:
Katherine: “You found the energy and came out with some guts but I know you can do better.”
Rolando: “The bad news is that you were struggling technically all week and it was sometimes too much pop. The good news is you were nervous and you were still big on stage and that says a lot.”
Laurence: “I’m a huge fan of your voice and of most of your performances but that was B side . You didn’t engage with it in the same way but, as Rolando said, you fought so hard to make something of it and I’m extremely grateful.”

Popstar To Opera Star 2010 Betting Odds Have Danny Jones As Favourite With Jimmy Osmond Almost Certain To Go This Weekend

Friday 29 January 2010 at 13:02

Popstar To Opera Star 2010 Betting Odds have undergone many changes this week but Danny Jones remains the hot favourite to win whilst Jimmy Osmond looks a cert to be voted off this week.

Danny Jones Still Favourite But Darius Campbell And Kym Marsh FallDanny Jones, the frontman from popular band McFly, is the current favourite to win Popstar To Operastar and he can be backed at 3/1 with Betfred. He has always been the favourite to win and looks very solid at he head of the betting but there have been many other changes. Former second and third favourites, Darius Campbell and Kym Marsh, are now out to 9/2 with SkyBet and 5/1 with Paddy Power and Bet365 respectively. Two singers have jumped in front of them, the news second favourite is Bernie Nolan who is 4/1 with Bet365 and VC Bet whilst Marcella Detroit is 9/2 with Stan James but as short as 5/2 with SkyBet.
Jimmy Osmond The Complete Outsider But He Is Relatively Big Price To GoAll of this leaves just one more act, Jimmy Osmond. He is miles adrift of the other contenders and finds himself at 33/1 with SkyBet and Paddy Power and that means he is the hot favourite to leave the show this week. Bearing in mind how far he is off the other contenders he looks a very good price to go this week, he is available at 11/8 with VC Bet, Stan James and Bet365. Kym Marsh is next best in the elimination betting odds, she is 9/2 with Betfred and Coral. For more Popstar To Operastar Betting Odds click on any of the bookie links above.

Jimmy Osmond has become the latest casualty of Popstar To Operastar after losing out to McFly singer Danny Jones in the judges' vote.
The 70s chart-topper's luck ran out after he found himself in the bottom two for the second week running, after the remaining six celebrities had performed on Friday's show.
And for the first time this series the result was decided by judges' vote - with all four of them voting to save Jones.
However, Osmond insisted his dreams of performing opera were not over.
"You've got it all wrong," he told presenter Myleene Klass, "my opera dreams have just begun. What a blast this has been, I'm going to go home and see my beautiful wife and our four kids - that's opera to me."
"It's empowering, it's exciting, and it's a way of getting in touch with your inner self. And I have fallen in love with everyone on this contest."
Five celebrities - including Bernie Nolan, Kym Marsh, Darius Campbell and Marcella Detroit - remain in the competition.

Digital Spy
Jimmy Osmond has become the third contestant to be voted off Popstar To Operastar.
The former I'm A Celebity... star was placed in the bottom two alongside McFly's Danny Jones after the public vote.
The four judges were then asked to decide which singer was to remain in the competition. After some deliberation, all four selected Jones.
Following confirmation of his exit, Osmond told host Alan Titchmarsh that he enjoyed his stint on the show but was looking forward to returning home to his family. "I've had a blast!" he said.
Popstar To Operastar continues next Friday at 9pm on ITV1.

Popstar to Operastar: It’s not Time to Say Goodbye to singer Danny 9:00am Monday 1st February 2010
POP star Danny Jones almost jinxed himself when he sang Time To Say Goodbye in a celebrity TV talent contest.

The 23-year-old from Bromley Cross — singer and guitarist with pop band McFly — finished in the bottom two on ITV1’s Popstar to Operastar show on Friday. But he scraped through to week four after being spared by sympathetic judges, who instead said goodbye to fellow contestant Jimmy Osmond.

Danny chose the song made famous by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli, who took it to number 2 in the UK singles chart in 1997. Despite failing to lead the pack on Friday, Danny remains favourite of the remaining five artists to win competition. Betfred is offering odds of 3/1. Bernie Nolan, of the Nolan sisters, is second favourite.

Popstar to Operastar returns to ITV on Friday at 9pm.

Popstar To Opera Star Betting Odds See Marcella Detroit And Bernie Nolan Become Favourites
Monday 01 February 2010 at 11:29
Popstar To Operastar 2010 Betting Odds have been turned on their head over the weekend with former favourite Danny Jones now the complete outsider and Marcella Detroit and Bernie Nolan now the favourites to win.

Marcella Detroit And Bernie Nolan Now The Ones To BeatMarcella Detroit is now the narrow favourite to win Popstar To Operastar 2010, she is now rated at 7/4 with William Hill and Betfred despite not previously being considered a strong contender. Her performance over the weekend has clearly gone down well with the punters who have backed her into favouritism over Bernie Nolan, who is another to have previously been unconsidered. Nolan is now a 9/4 chance with Bet365 and Stan James and looks to have plenty going for her. The biggest move over the weekend was Danny Jones, the McFly frontman has drifted from 9/4 all the way out to 8/1 with Bet365 and Paddy Power.

Kym Marsh And Darius Campbell Now Look Unlikely WinnersThe other two contestants still in with a chance are Kym Marsh and Darius Campbell, both are closely matched in the Popstar To Operastar Betting Odds. Marsh is available at 11/2 with Bet365 and SkyBet whilst Campbell is 6/1 with SkyBet and Paddy Power. The drift on Danny Jones now makes him the most likely contender to leave next week, he is just 6/4 with Bet365 and Stan James to be eliminated next, ahead of Darius Campbell who is 5/2 with Bet365. Kym Marsh is also far from safe at 3/1 with Paddy Power and Stan James to go. For more Popstar To Opera Star 2010 Betting Odds click on any of the bookie links above.

Marcella Detroit Favourite On Popstar To OperastarHaving seen countless popstar wannabe auditions paraded on the X Factor and Britains Got Talent, watching the talented and less than able singers in their desperate search for fame and fortune, it is novel to see those who have had a successful career in the pop industry risk making complete fools of themselves on Popstar To Operastar.

The format had seemed like a recipe for disaster, with housewives favourite Alan Titmarsh at the helm and Meatloaf and Laurence Llewellyn Bowen as judges, it appeared that this might be a one off series that ITV would be keen to swiftly retire to the archives.

The critics are more flamboyant than informative but gravitas is leant to the proceedings with mentors, Katherine Jenkins and Rolando Villazon whose discipline and passion for their subject is compelling and infectious.

Their enthusiasm has certainly rubbed off on the contestants who may well have entered the competition to raise their flagging profiles and accept a handy cheque at the same time, but who seem to have truly entered into the Covent Garden Spirit.

Increase The Fun With A Free £50 bet with Paddy Power

Visibly apprehensive on the first show, the nerves effected performances across the board but with considerable hard work, as shown on the coaching footage, the Popstars are finding voices that neither they or the public ever thought was possible.

Marcella Detroit was impressive at the outset but now is clearly pulling away from her nearest rival Bernie Nolan. Her commanding voice in Shakespeare's Sister has found a new home in a range of Arias that have not only technical prowess but emotional force. In fact the women have all done well. No one would have thought that Kym Marsh from the unremarkable Hear Say would have found quite such a resonant voice.

The male contestants have not fared as well with only Darius, he of X factor fame and Danny Jones of McFly remaining. Danny led the Odds Table for a while but his young female fanbase seem to have abandoned him of late and he looks most likely to leave next.

Whilst those teenage texters may not have been compelled to stay with Danny or the programme, the experience has been refreshing Television. Seeing Celebrities not only attempting to learn a new skill but embracing and meeting a difficult challenge in the face of fragile egos has been good to watch. Only Laurence and Meatloaf and Alan need to be retired.

With a whole variety of Betting Options there is a good chance of improving the whole experience with a little flutter

In it Danny says he's feeling nervous. That McFly have started recording again (!!!) so the work load is building for him. He was so tired that one day the judges said he could stop singing during a lesson to rest his voice. He thinks Marcella is his biggest competition.

Ask Danny anything (this is now closed)
http://www.heatworld.com/Entertainment/TV/2010/02/Ask-McFlys-Danny-Jones-anything/
When we first heard that McFly's Danny Jones was going to be taking part in Popstar To Operastar, we didn't know what to expect. However, over the past few weeks Danny has proved he has some serious operatic talent, and, if the screams are anything to go by, a lot of devoted female fans, too. Tomorrow morning, just because we're nice (and because we can), we're going to grab Danny for half an hour to ask him YOUR questions. How does he prepare his voice for all those long notes? What's happened to that pink jacket? Is Meat Loaf really as crazy as he looks? Get your McFly-addled caps on and post some questions below. We'll bring you all the answers and a brand new photo of Danny tomorrow.

Celebrity weddings are always a huge affair (especially if you work for OK! Magazine), so we thought we’d better get our gambling heads on and take a pop at who we think will be donning the white gowns and saying ‘I do’ this year.
That’s the question bookies Paddy Power are asking too as they take bets on who will be the first couple to tie the knot this year.
Who do you think it will be? Personally I’m praying Dougie Poynter see’s the light and comes knocking on my door… I wonder what the odds would be on that one?

MCFLY are ditching their guitar sound for a “Prince meets Jacko” style re-invention.
The boyband are working on their fifth opus and singer/ guitarist Danny Jones is planning to team his purple shoes with a diamanté-encrusted glove for a pop-funk direction.
He told me: “We’ve got the material and are building up the McFly massacre. The album’s an absolute killer. It’s got a Prince and Michael Jackson influence.”
Danny and bandmates, singer Tom Fletcher, drummer Harry Judd, both 24, and bassist Dougie Poynter, 22, are creating the album with BRIT-nominated Taio Cruz, 26, and US super producer Dallas Austin, 39.
Danny added: “Taio’s a really cool guy. We’ve written tracks with him and we’re now trying to get him to produce one. It was awesome working with Dallas as he’s a bit of a party boy – he thinks he’s our fifth member. He’s coming over to the UK to produce four or five of the songs.”
Meanwhile, Danny’s been rehearsing for ITV1’s Popstar To Operastar. The 23-year-old said: “It’s taken over my life. It’s out of my comfort zone and more nerve-racking than performing arena dates with the band. If I win I could maybe do a duets album with Susan Boyle – or get McFly to support me at the Royal Albert Hall.”
That I would like to see.

Danny Answers Heatworld
http://www.heatworld.com/Entertainment/TV/2010/02/McFlys-Danny-Jones-answers-YOUR-questions/
http://www.heatworld.com/images/93030_610x370_STD/2010/2/images/Danny_main.jpg
Danny Jones is used to being on a stage surrounded by his three McFly bandmates and clutching a guitar, so it must be an odd transition for him to step out onto the stage on his lonesome every Friday night and sing opera. Still, being Danny, he's taken it all in his stride and is actually doing an amazing job. When we met him yesterday for a chat at the London Studios he looked exhausted, yes, but full of enthusiasm for the challenge ahead. "I'm dreaming opera," he admitted. "It's taken over my life!" We also found out a tiny bit of info about those secret projects, but Danny wasn't giving much away. "The album will be summer time," he said. "There's a couple of secret projects. Tom's got one, Dougie's got one. I need to get one! Harry's just learning his drums every day, that's his secret project." Danny's the only one of the Popstar To Operastar contestants to have screaming girls in the audience every week, and he can't thank his fans enough. As promised, we asked him as many of your questions as we could, even though most of them were about him getting naked! Read the full interview below and make sure you tune in to watch Danny in action tonight. You might even spot an excited heatworlder or two in the audience...

Popstar To Operastar, tonight, ITV1, 9pm

NickyLovesMcFly asks: What's the hardest thing about singing opera?
The language, definitely. It's getting the placement and the Italian that are my weaknesses.

skyfullofstars asks: What's it like backstage on PSTOS? Does everyone get along well or is there a bit of rivalry?
At first, we used to all get a bit of lunch and have dinner together, but as it's got more serious we stay in our dressing rooms and practice. It's getting more intense now. Everyone's really nice, it's fine.

McFrankie asks: What's your definition of swoon?
Jude Law is swoon. He walks past girls and they're like...phwoar. I didn't know what swoon meant at first.

PascaleDeBom asks: Do you think you're achieving your goal to make opera music cool?
YES! If you go and see a good opera it's like watching an amazing musical. Opera seems really intimidating. I really wanna go, I'm going to start going. Maybe they'll ask me to be in one...?

McFloor asks: If you could have a super-power for one day, what would it be?
This week...to be the best opera singer ever! [Laughs.] I'd like to be the strongest man in the world, but to go and break up fights. I'd go into riots and go...'NO'. I'd love to have the power to just stop a thousand men.

PascaleDeBom asks: Does having the other McFly boys in the audience every week distract you?
When I'm singing I don't really look because I'm in the moment, but around the show I always look at them and give them high-fives and stuff. It's quite funny.

skyfullofstars asks: What's the one thing that makes you smile?
The boys trying to sing opera! They are funny - and they're all rubbish. I didn't have enough time to teach them, really. I just put them through the paces and what I've been through, like, fish impressions and stuff [stops and opens and closes his mouth like a fish]. You have to do a lot of that in opera.

paulaamorimf asks: How is your throat doing with all the singing?
I am feeling a bit under the weather today. I'm getting aches, I've got a sore throat and my ears are blocked. I dunno what's wrong with me. I think I'm just getting a bit run down.

Loreeen asks: What are the 5 things you can't live without?
Something I can do without is my dog s****ing on my kitchen floor! He just doesn't get it. Wee outside, dude! Anyway, what are the five things I can't live without? Music! Family...erm...my toaster. Sex, because that's natural for a man. And...Vanilla lattes.
heatworld: Not McFly?!
Oh...s**t! Can I have six? Or McFly and sex on the same line.

RebeccaMasters asks: You're pretty busy at the moment, rehearsing for PSTOS and keeping up with McFly and arranging future plans. How do you manage to cope with it all?
It's quite tough, actually. I try to fit in McFly because we've just started to record. You're up at 9, you're here till 5, then you go home and have dinner and by that time it's like 6/7 and you just sort of wanna chill. I've not even been going to the gym or anything, which I wanna do. I did fit in football in the other night.

NikiNoo asks: How do you get your teeth so perfect?
Teeth?! They're not perfect. I've got a little invisible brace, can you see it? [Opens his mouth wide so we can peer in.]
heatworld: Um, no...

StarGirlALA asks: What's the thing you're most proud of?
The new McFly album. We've got the materials and now we're just building it. The McFly massacre!

ShaunaLee asks: Describe your PSTOS experience in one word.
Interesting...

carolineeilovemcfly asks: Will McFly get naked on the next tour? PLEASE!!
We'll only get naked if I get time to go to the gym before the tour. The boys have been working out without me while I've been doing the opera. I need to catch up - I've lost my six-pack!

LetitSnow asks: Would you turn a McFly song into an opera-McFly song?
It would be quite cool, that. With this new secret project, there's going to be opportunities for stuff like that. For stuff like that it's going to be great.

keetkeets asks: How much would you charge if I were to hire you to sing opera?
I dunno. Because I'm out of my comfort zone I'd have to double my price. Depends how many songs, too. Hiring the whole band would cost 90 grand...in cash!

Farewell Jimmy! That can only be only be described as a Viking funeral of a performance that will live in our hearts forever.

There really wasn’t a dry eye in the house as he finally turned his back on Las Vegas, Nevada and pointed resolutely in the direction of La Scala Milan. Yes I know technically there was a lot that could have been better but to me the point was that the performance wasn’t the non-stick, slick slippery perfection of his frankly cheesy Volare last week. Don’t get me wrong, I dig cheese and as far as Volare’s go, Mr Osmond’s Volare would make my ideal ring tone.

Katherine actually went as far as to suggest that every time I walked into a room it should be piped to accompany me. But it was wonderful to see this hard-working, seasoned performer slide under the skin of showbiz and find a whole new world of pulsating, dangerously-emotional opera.

But the really big news was not the performances but the brownies. Having tantalised us for far too long, Katherine Jenkins finally came in with an Emma Bridgewater cake tin full of brownies. It brought rehearsals to a standstill as the whole studio crew swooped as one like a flock of carrion crows attracted by the whiff of Dame Jenkins' chocolately offering.

On matters culinary we all received a present from beyond the Opera star grave. Everyone’s favourite floppy-fringed, pop prefect Alex James sent us all a brown cardboard box with our own individual portion of one of his finest blue vieners. In fact as I blog, the powerful wafts of Alex’s prize-winning cheese are making me feel extremely hungry.

We’re now of course half way through the contest and the game is hotting up . There were some staggering performances - Marcella having been rather defeated by gravity with her concrete winged butterfly last week soared to celestial heights with an extraordinarily accomplished Queen of the Night cunningly accessorised by a barnet of twisted blue dreadlocks.

Bernie, who is rapidly becoming the safe pair of hands in our operatic tournament, turned in a text-book very nearly professional standard Cherubino from Mozart's hit-packed rom-com, Marriage of Figaro; Kym made a compelling but rather too posh Carmen. I wonder whether she was a bit too distracted by her fan? Whilst Darius, in the words of my esteemed, critical colleague Lord Loaf of Meatfordshire, used the medium of operatic aria to sell Condos in Granada.

But it was Danny McFly who struggled this week and ended up alongside the late-lamented Jimmy in the bottom two. I had a brief moral struggle but I decided to save Danny to fight another day because I feel he does have the potentially to show us all an extraordinarily vigorous operatic talent.

As Rolando said, the song was bringing him down but like the boy standing on the burning deck he wasn’t going to give in and although it was a very flawed performance, he used every single fibre of his being to try and turn it around.

So onward and upward, week four comes into view and the entire production team and I have made a secret pact to ensure that Mighty Meatloaf is denied the blue smarties which we hope will mean that this week he stays in his seat.

Heatworld In For A Treat (Friday)
http://www.heatworld.com/Entertainment/TV/2010/02/McFly-fans-are-in-for-a-treat-tonight/
Where there's one member of McFly, there's bound to be another three not far away - and tonight the whole band will be appearing on Popstar To Operastar. As well as practising practically in his sleep, Danny Jones also made time to teach Tom, Dougie and Harry a spot of opera this week - and the results are hilarious. Let's just say we think it's highly unlikely that the boys will be including any operatic tracks on their new album this summer... Still, watching them belt one out on tonight's show is going to be very amusing. And just what are they doing with their arms in this picture?! Make sure you tune in to find out.

"They all have very nice eyebrows" about 8 hours ago via web Retweeted by you and 30 others

Second text - "They're going to play new music.... they're talking about Prince and Michael Jackson being influences" about 8 hours ago via web Retweeted by you and 28 others

First text - "They're chatting about working with Dallas, lots of great stories about boozing"

"Playing a slower song now - we're going to hear three in total today"

"The final Dallas Austin song is a ballad and beautiful!"

"The last song was absolutely beautiful, Tom's vocals in particular on the last song are amazing"


... eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[Nicky.]

We're hearing the new single this weeek!

[Nicky.]

From Daily Star;

FIRST LISTEN: MCFLY'S NEW ALBUM

NOT since Kylie went grunge has the music scene been shaken by such a dramatic change in direction.

But fans and haters of McFly prepare to be shocked.


Their cheesy pop has gone and heavy synths and sexy beats now dominate the four tracks played at an exclusive listening session in a swanky London hotel.


The lads teamed up with Madonna and Britney producer Dallas Austin for their first single Party Girl, released September 4.


The result is an immense dancefloor-filler laden with Lady GaGa Bad Romance-esque “Ooh-oohs”.


Taio Cruz has also worked his knob-twiddling magic on two tracks for their untitled fifth studio album.


Second single Shine A Light shows their sensitive side, singing over club beats: “She left me with a broken heart. She took the light and left me in the dark.”


While Nowhere Left To Run has scintillating synths layered over sharp beats.


A warm welcome back fellas.

New single snippet! VERY different! Love it <3

[Nicky.]

and they'll have a 30 minute video to go with it!

[Twilight]

Its so different :0 i love it though.

[Nicky.]

Isn't it just! I love it though... some people don't, but meh, that's their own problem!

I think they're going to gain alot of new fans from this, and will show the haters where to stick it xx

[Nicky.]

Their official (full length!) new single;

ttYWmooR2ck

Jump to 2.10 to go straight to the song... the beginning is Tom chatting xx

[Iceman]

WHAT THE ACTUAL ****???????

I like it.....how do i like it????? really didnt see that coming from them!

(P.S. now your not lonely :P)

[Scarlett.]

I'll have a listen to it tomoz, if Iceman likes it, it cant be bad!

[Nicky.]

Yahoooo! HELLO! :)

I can't WAIT for the haters to have to admit they like it! I know everybody won't like it (or admit to it!) but.... you're about the 5th person today to admit to me you LIKE something from McFly! Happyhappy!!

[Nicky.]

Of course it's not bad Chewy, IT'S FCUKING AWESOME!

[Iceman]

I'll have a listen to it tomoz, if Iceman likes it, it cant be bad!

Its good (In my opinion) although my music taste is all over the place LOL

[Nicky.]

Well it was described by the press as very Lady GAGA... but I don't really think it is... I think it's just very unique and different. Not the same as anything else out there atm :3 xx

[MrGaryy]

woah, what a totally generic, dull song. sounds like a million other songs.

[Iceman]

It sounds very American produced to me....can kind of see the Ladygaga influence on it!

[Nicky.]

Ok Gary :)

and it is American produced! Was made in Atlanta with a dude called Dallas Austin... he's produced Madonna, Pink, Kylie (back in the day xD) and others but I can't remember... xx

[Shaun]

Why the Hell have they joined in the samey-producey-american-R&B game?

It sounds like a JLS B-Side.

[MrGaryy]

oh Dallas Austin produced? That explains it, I can not bear that man.

[Nicky.]

They haven't.... they've brought it up to date! (although we loved it before too :P)

and all their songs aren't like this, this is the only one on the album of this effect.

Their producer said earlier;

"Than u guys party girl is a cool change for the guys it's the only song like that on the record! But lots of surprises." :)

[Nicky.]

oh Dallas Austin produced? That explains it, I can not bear that man.

He only did this song (that will be a single) so it's alright.. Taio Cruz did the others... so they will be totally different. And as a person, Dallas is VERY annoying... I've endured TOO much of that man over the past year -.-

[Shaun]

Thank God for that D:

[MrGaryy]

He only did this song (that will be a single) so it's alright.. Taio Cruz did the others... so they will be totally different. And as a person, Dallas is VERY annoying... I've endured TOO much of that man over the past year -.-

He's HORRIBLE. He had a brief fling with Christina Aguilera in 2001 and then she ended it and he spoke to the media about her saying she slept around for songs [even though she wrote the whole album she would have been trying to get these songs for herself] and that her husband first met her through a dare to see who could sleep with her first and other ****. And he's cheated on SO many of his past girlfriends.

[Nicky.]

Haha Shaun! Not sure when we'll get the next song from the album.... will be a while me thinks.

and my goodness! Really? Eek :| he is so annoying... loads of people on twitter call them their 'Daddy' and stuff... really weird. The only things I'm thankful for from him is helping McFly and introducing them to ustream! haha :)

[Princess]

You have loads of company :p

[Nicky.]

I do now babes :P I didn't earlier... I was feeling quite the loner.

[Princess]

Awwwwww well you should return the favour,the last like 5 posts in my thread have been me :laugh:

[Nicky.]

I will be there now! <3

[xDramatick]

McFly are generally hit & miss with me, I tend to either LOVE their songs, or just not care.

Party Girl's not too bad, probably will grow on me but I'm not too keen on them having that sound. I don't see the GaGa comparison either, although that 'oooh' at the beginning did make me think of Bad Romance haha.

[Nicky.]

That's fair enough Darenn! Usually everybody (with the odd exception) hate McFly, so I'm glad of this response.... it's definetely not what the haters were expecting!

Can't wait to hear it live next month :)

[Twilight]

I love how some people are like 'i Can't believe Mcfly have gone mainstream!'
well they weren't really not mainstream before :P

[Callum]

I don't really like it but I can see it doing well on the charts, might grow on me though. Their best stuff was in the Room on the 3rd Floor era in my opinion.

[xDramatick]

I love how some people are like 'i Can't believe Mcfly have gone mainstream!'
well they weren't really not mainstream before :P

McFly were always mainstream...

[Twilight]

McFly were always mainstream...

Thats what i said to them :P

[Nicky.]

The thing is, is they've been away for almost 2 years, and the music scene has changed ALOT since then - and if they released 2004 McFly... people would have been like, what the actual ****? In this time, they have had barely any press or anything, because there was no story to write about them. Now they're back, and people are like omgggg McFly have gone mainstream and changed themselves. No, they're still McFly... they're still the McFly we fell in love with almost 7 years ago now... it's just one of those things. Also, this is ONE song, Dallas said all the songs are very different from each other, and very different from Party Girl.... but they released this first to show that they are different, and better and up to date.

Everyone has their own favourite McFly era... mine is 2008. Radio:ACTIVE was the way forward at the time, and I still bloody love it now actually!

Basically, the gap inbetween R:A and this has made people go WOAH :| because it's SUCh a big jump... but looking back, 5 Colours in Her Hair to Lies would have been a massive jump if they did it straight away - but they gradually did it over the years - this is just a big jump at once.... and I lovee it <3

I will always love McFly!

[Tom4784]

It's boring, Shaun said it best when he said it sounds like a JLS B-side.

[InOne]

Pretty diabolical direction to go in. Can't see it getting much radio play or being played in clubs or anything.

[Nicky.]

Tom is 25 today! <3

You're meeting them????? Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[Nicky.]

Wowwwwwwwwwwww = understatement!


Met them today! First time ever, flip me! They arrived half an hour late then supposed to, then went inside and were nearly 2 HOURS! Longest 2 hours of my life! They then came out the radio station and met everyone! They were amazing. Tom signed my phone, face, bag and my 'I Love Nicky Jones' photo ;D Harry signed my Harry version of it and they all signed my bag! Got photos with them all! Can't upload pictures til tomorrow night as I'm at my friends tonight and my camera isn't loaded on this computer and I don't wanna test it and wipe my memory card!

I actually have 2 photos with Tom! I'm cheeky! Tom asked me my twitter name as I thanked him for my 5 tweets and he asked what he'd tweeted me about, so I told him one and he remembered and laughed :') (crop circles from aliens in the fields over the back! haha!) I could only remember one tweet though! I was shaking so much!

They were all sooo lovely, meeting them twice tomorrow hopefully - but Doug has to go to a funeral so it's just the 3 of them xx

[Princess]

What's up with the bulletproof vests? Have they had issues with attempted assassinations at their gigs?

[Nicky.]

[Nicky.]

I don't think it is humanly possible to look any fitter, nope! <3

[Nicky.]

Met them again yesterday! It was through a fence though, but that is kinda good so you can have a proper conversation and not get them crowded by a load of screamers!

Also saw them for the 9th time (: was 2nd row infront of Tom <3 amazing!

Party Girl is available from download from midnight tonight - then out on disc on Monday!

Also, the BANNED video for Party Girl is out at midnight! At a guess this is either more 'raunchy' in the Harry department, or it shows the scene of Tom, Dougie and Danny stabbing Harry with a guitar :')

[Nicky.]

Soo, Party Girl is out now on iTunes! Please buy it if you can! :D

and, the original video for it was banned, alot of the blood and the suffocating was deleted out!

This is out 7th November! They recorded the video on Tuesday, and the live streamed from 10am til 11pm on McFly.com of the whole recording, so obviously the song was played alot! So this video is just a recording from that, hence it's not amazing quality!

I actually love this song even though Ive never paid them much attention before.

Its very different and damn catchy. But they need to stick to a sound as it seems totally different to their other stuff IMO.

Aw yay! ;D Glad you like it!

and I know what you mean, but they can't stick with the same sound forever! They just wanted to try something different after 7 years, and I think it's bloody brilliant! x

Really Laura?! If you hadn't seen it here, I thought you would have seen it on twitter? :')

and McFly will never beat Take That, Westlife, and whoever else is out today! Their single is currently being bought as an EP with 3 other tracks... so it's counting as an album... where it's number 2, behind Cheryl (:

[Nicky.]

Harry is doing Strictly Come Dancing; CIN Special btw! Dancing with Ola :) x
