Keane is another group that failed to live up to the hype.

I like the group but they're not as massive as I was expecting them to be.

3 littles birds sat on my window, and they told me you dont need to worreh

Yes it's ashame as I liked there first two songs.

You've now got that song stuck in my head. :joker:

Whatever happened to her?

Her husband died. It was really sad, and she wrote an album about it that came out either last year or the year before... it was really well-received, and I think got Mercury-nominated, and it did get to #5 in the UK

Jessie J didn't live up to the critical hype she amassed last year. 'Who You Are' is such a mess of an album. .__.

Awww. I liked her, but she seemed to fade into obscurity so quickly. I didn't know she had a new album.

Dido is another one. She had two massive world-wide selling albums, then, gone.

Their singles have never really done that well but all three albums went to no. 1 and the first is 9 x platinum. They have a new album coming out next month Their last was in 2008.

As much as I'll get slated for this, Lady GaGa didn't live up to her hype. The first album amazing, but she has failed to make any real impression with her second offering.

I think Dido took a massive break because she became a mum. I think she's coming back soon though.

I dont know but I loved that song

-downloads-

Her third album seemed to just be so overlooked though and fade fast into obscurity.

I agree with you (to an extent). As much as I love BTW, it was nowhere near as good as TF/TFM. It was too disjointed and some songs were just completely random. The Fame was cohesive at least.

I'm just hoping her next album will be as good as her first or better.

This. Born To Die was one of the dullest albums I've heard.

The Verve.

After Bittersweet Symphony that group became more of a cult hit than a mainstream hit.

-slates Ben-

'The Drugs Don't Work' was a #1... and so was their only other album released after it (Forth)

Oooh, I didn't know Bitter Sweet Symphony wasn't a #1

She got five top 10 singles, two #1s and a #2 album (11 in the US), pretty good imo :joker:

I haven't heard much of them after that song,also they decided to turn themselves into Radiohead only even more depressing.

I said critically not commercially. :tongue:

Yeah, they only had one #1 single (The Drugs Don't Work), and that was only for one week.

-gets really pissed off when people associate 'depressing' music with 'bad' music-

Not all art is supposed to be happy.

Well they got sued so don't even get any royalties for that song now

JF you really don't have much of an idea what you're on about :joker:

You shouldnt have a too of a subjective view to say Jessie J hasnt lived up her hype.
Who You Are - half amazing, half naff, worth it for the quality stuff shes recorded. And shes picked fantastic choices of singles, bar perhaps LaserLight.

I agree. I love listening to depressing songs sometimes, helps me write things in a depressed manner. I do wish people would learn to have broader music standards. There is generally some great and bad music from all genres.

I suppose it comes down to what you like then but I think the album is pretty decent for a debut.

Tbf I don't pay much attention to Music,but whenever I speak to my friends who used to be fans of The Verve,they never mention them anymore.

It could've been far better. At least half of it is filler. I only like about 5 songs from it anyway.

I can like depressing singers as I like Coldplay,and just look at who my favourite was in X Factor 2010?

I just think that Radiohead and The Verve are to depressing for my tastes.

On a more pop note, Stacie Orrico, Amy Studt, Vanessa Carlton, Michelle Branch and JoJo were pretty hyped and nothing came from it

Vanessa Carlton :lovedup: A Thousand Miles is still one of my favourite songs ever :love:

They were indie darlings until 1997 when they were welcomed into the mainstream. They are most probably best well known for The Drugs Don't Work, Bitter Sweet Symphony (got to no. 2) and Lucky Man. They split in 1999 for 8 years, when Mr Ashcroft went solo, and the one and only album they have released since reforming achieved no. 1 status. Love Is Noise was a really good single from the album and actually reached no. 4 in the UK chart. I think they could have gone onto better things had they not split.

I never got into The Verve. I think the hype at the time really put me off them, even now, I'm still not a fan.

Who You Are is one of my fave albums from last year <3
