Going away as quick as they became household names it seems, Hear'Say look like coming apart at the seams. But who cares, theyre just another manufactured band that gets dropped (which will happen unless they split) after their hits dry up. <br><br>The first sign came when second song "The Way To Your Love" dropped out of the chart quicker than a turd after a bottle of andrews liversalts. 2 singles from 1 album and they churn out another identi-kit album hopefully grabbing Christmas custom. Unfortunately, for them, it didnt work. It really looked like ominous then when less than 6 months, they have another album out, in their own eyes it seemed that their future was less than rosy. <br><br>Everyday you pick up a tabloid and theres another Myleene ex lover waiting to tell all about her and the rest of the band. At least if they do disappear, we wont have to hear from that muscleman ex boyfriend thats in everyday. Kym hates Myleene, Myleene hates Kym is how the papers like us to think. The whole thing is treated like a really bad American Soap Opera from start to finish.<br><br>Everybody, the single, Number 4 and the album limped in at number 24. Steps split up on Boxing Day and now the only hope it seems for teenyboppers in the boy/girl market comes from the absolutely terrible ALLstars. This is a band who thinks its a good idea to cover Bucks Fizz.<br><br>Hear'Say look gone after record album sales of their first album and fastest selling single Pure and Simple. But will they be forgotten. The only reason for the initial selling was the TV show but when there wasnt a TV show, they had to resort to grabbing tabloid space by wearing revealing frocks at awards ceremonies. Reeking of desperation, it seems that the only famous person when Chris plays Sumthin Stupid next Xmas will be Mr Kinder.<br><br>So the Questions are:<br><br>1. Own up, Did You Buy The Single (im clear i didnt)<br>2. Do you read the stories in the paper about them or flick over to the sport and the tv guide instead<br>3. If they do go their seperate ways, do u see any of them having a future in music<br>4. should they carry on and replace Kym with one of the pop idol rejects?<br>5. name a worse band than Hear'Say apart from Steps and ALLstars?<br><br><br> <br>
