Artikkeleita ja videoita!

Olettehan jo huomanneet, että toivomme McFlyta ensi viikon YleX:n X-ryhmän perjantaitoiveisiin? Jos et, muista katsoa edellinen päivitys!! Se on tärkeää :)
Tänään tulee BBC1:ltä klo 21.00 Suomen aikaa Children In Need, jossa McFly esittää Shine A Lightin ja Harry tanssii Englannin Tanssii Tähtien Kanssa -ohjelman voittajan kanssa. Ikävä kyllä en löytänyt yhtään sivustoa, mistä sitä voisi katsoa livenä, mutta eiköhän molemmat löydy huomenna Youtubesta. Tässä on ensin "muutama" video:





Sitten artikkeleita.. Joita on taas monta!

Sales through the site are currently not chart eligible in the UK."

"It’s funny, this is exactly what we did when we met Harry McFly
Except our legs were certainly not together.
We haven’t watched Children In Need since our mum’s friend’s daughter’s dog’s sparrow had a bath in baked beans outside Argos in town, but watching Harry from McFly prancing about in this tight number is a perfectly good excuse to sack off our Friday night plans.
Here’s a few pictures from tomorrow’s show, which sees Harry and Rochelle Saturdays competing in a Strictly Come Dancing special. Although it all looks a bit cheesy for us, dancing like a twat would be a small compromise for getting thrown around like the small Polish lady.
We should probably say something about Rochelle. Umm… it looks like she borrowed Suri Cruise’s high heels? There."

"Marlborough fan's McFly heroes
McFly fan Robert Dobie, 17, who was played the band’s tracks while he was in a coma, got VIP treatment when two of the group visited Marlborough on Monday to autograph their latest CD.
Two years ago Robert was desperately ill in Bristol Children’s Hospital over Christmas and New Year when severe food poisoning left him fighting for his life. Doctors told his parents Bob and Michelle, he died twice.
McFly band member Dougie Poynter was delighted at Robert’s recovery. He said: “That is a really touching story and we are delighted if we helped.”
Robert of Rabley Wood View, was stuck for words when he met the band members. “It’s been amazing to meet them,” he said.
But his mother Michelle said: “When he was in intensive care the nurses played Rob his McFly CDs non-stop.
“Although he couldn’t answer us, we knew he could hear the CDs playing and this went on for nearly seven days.
We are convinced the band helped Rob come back to us and this is something we shall never forget.
“Meeting them brings back memories of those long dark days and nights doing whatever we could not to let our son die.”
Bassist Dougie Poynter said that as soon as they heard he was in the huge queue, they asked for him to be brought to the front so they could have a chat.
He said: “His mum told us how they played our CDs to him and that she believed this had helped bring him round. We are delighted if we helped in any way.
“We have invited him to our gig next year at Birmingham and we will get him backstage to meet all of us and we’ll get the other two to sign his album as well.”

"McFly – Above The Noise (Review)
6 years ago when Danny, Dougie, Tom and Harry released their first single ’5 Colours In Her Hair’, many wouldn’t have believed that in 2010 they would be still together, releasing their fifth studio album with fans still lapping up their music in their droves? What’s even more surprising is the direction that they have taken. Marketed as a more talented (and better looking) Busted, they sold out Arenas and had screaming fans wherever they turned. However in 2008 the band released “Radio:Active” on their own label and the record being their lowest album chart position of their career the boys needed to rethink their brand. ”
Above The Noise” see’s the guys ditch their punk/pop roots and instead opt for collaborations with the likes of Taio Cruz (who helped produce the album) to help them stay “relevant”. They have also unsurprisingly returned to their old Record Label Island. But does the new sound work?
The album kicks off with “End Of The World”, an in your face Pop/Rock/Dance crossover which sets the theme for the rest of the album. 70′s disco vibes are also present and although its a good way to kick the album off it’s a bit all over the place, too much going on but no substance to back it up. Tom and Danny’s vocals are also totally overpowered by the beat. One of the weaker songs, but luckily things do improve.
Lead single “Party Girl” is totally different to anything McFly have released before. Aimed solely at fans of ‘Twilight’ and ‘The Vampire Diaries’ (the video sees the guys play the blood sucking creatures) its a up-tempo pop number with a darker feeling behind it. The guitar rift still shows hints of what McFly were (remember they are a boy band who actually play instruments) but at the same time showcases a more mature and darker sound mixed with Electropop.
Two tracks that initially stand out for me, mainly because of the subject matter. “If U C Kate” and “I’ll Be Your Man”. Both because they refer to a girl called ‘Kate’. “I’ll Be Your Man” is one of the standout tracks on the album, Tom solely on vocals on a beautiful slow number with the lyric “Because they all went away when I found you, Katy”. I’m not sure who the lyrics refer too on both tracks but as a Mcfly fan back in the mid noughties I did know that Tom had a massive crush on Katie Holmes. Whoever ‘Kate; is she has clearly made a lasting impression on Fletcher and the boys with the name dropped on both tracks.
Second single “Shine A Light” is up next and of course features RnB singer/writer/producer Taio Cruz. Unfortunately it is one of the worst songs on the album in my opinion, but McFly know what they are doing enlisting Cruz’s help. Taio has himself notched up 2 UK number one singles as well as writing and producing tracks for Cheryl Cole, The Saturdays and JLS. Not my personal favourite however it’s not hard to see why it was released as a single.
Other highlights on the album include “Nowhere Left To Run” which has a soaring Electropop/Dance chorus, Danny’s vocals suiting the song perfectly. It would be a great single choice. “I Need A Woman” is a Motown styled track which blatantly rips of Ben E. Kings’s “Stand By Me” as soon as the intro kicks in. Other than that it’s a good pop song. “This Song” again has a great pop melody, something McFly have always been able to produce in abundance.
The album closes with “Foolish”. A bad end to an average album. One of the weaker songs and the addition of auto-tune only makes it more embarrassing, Danny and Tom can sing they don’t need the gimmicks that many pop bands do. “Above The Noise” may be a welcome change and will certainly help them back on their feet after “Radio:Active”, however I’d much rather go and listen to “Room On The Third Floor” and “Wonderland” to remind me of the Pop band they once were, and what I secretly wish they still were.
Skip To: I’ll Be Your Man, I Need A Woman, Nowhere Left To Run
Just Skip: Shine A Light, Foolish

"Mcfly - Mcfly Hoping For Sex Doll Replicas
McFly think it would be ''funny'' to release a range of sex dolls in their own likenesses for their male and female fans to buy.
McFly want lifesize sex dolls of themselves .
The group - comprising Tom Fletcher, Harry Judd, Danny Jones and Dougie Poynter - think it would be "funny" to create raunchy replicas that their male and female fans could buy.
Danny said: "We want McFly sex dolls! I think it would be really funny. I'd buy one. They should definitely be suitable for both guys and girls though."
While the 'Party Girl' hitmakers want their own range of sex dolls, the band won't be following in the footsteps of chart rivals JLS and releasing a range of condoms, as they think their line would probably be "too small" and unsafe for the general public.
Harry joked: "Our condoms wouldn't be very safe. They would be too small for everyone else to even use!"
Danny added: "It's not a good move for anyone if we branch out into condoms."
Meanwhile, Dougie - who has been dating Frankie Sandford for almost two years - claims he won't get engaged to The Saturdays star until she proposes to him.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'm waiting for her to ask me. We're new school. We wait for the women to ask us. I'll have a big diamond please!"
However, if the pair do tie the knot in the future, Frankie could be in for a shock, as Dougie admitted he has a penchant for dressing in women's clothes.
He said: "I think I suggested it thinking, 'It's one of those things that'll never happen,' but I turned up today and they had it prepared. I've actually dressed up as a woman quite a few times. It's become a bit of a habit for me. I enjoyed wearing tights!"
McFly performed a secret gig at Heathrow's Terminal 5 on Wednesday night (17.11.10) for the official switch-on of the airport's Christmas lights."
