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

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

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

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

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

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

Siouxsie · 30-10-2005, 10:01 PM

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

Lance · 30-10-2005, 10:29 PM

I really like The Conways.

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

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

James · 31-10-2005, 09:39 AM

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

Siouxsie · 31-10-2005, 12:53 PM

well i suppose you would like the irish girls Lance

ThaGazBoi · 31-10-2005, 04:55 PM

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

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

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

CharlotteSometimes · 01-11-2005, 05:15 PM

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

Siouxsie · 01-11-2005, 08:53 PM

CharlotteSometimes · 02-11-2005, 02:07 AM

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

bringbackscience · 13-11-2005, 12:04 PM

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

sol · 13-11-2005, 12:15 PM

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

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

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

Dan_ · 13-11-2005, 03:11 PM

I really don't like their voices or attitude.

Ruth · 13-11-2005, 03:36 PM

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

CharlotteSometimes · 14-11-2005, 09:03 AM

I think their attitude is their only real asset.

Ruth · 14-11-2005, 09:09 AM

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

CharlotteSometimes · 14-11-2005, 09:28 AM

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