Tässä vielä muutama viesti National Lottery Show'sta perjantailta:
That's the Truth sijoittui ensimmäisellä viikollaan Britannian viralliselle singlelistalle 35:nneksi. Itunesin kanssa oli kuitenkin ongelmia, singleä ei saatu ladattavaksi kun vasta puolessa välissä viikkoa ja se luultavasti vaikutti menestykseen. Tässä kuitenkin arvostelu singlestä:
"Single Review: McFly - 'That's The Truth'
McFly's comeback may not have made quite the impact they desired. In fact, you could, what with only two top ten hits and an album - recently certified Silver - that barely managed to grab itself a seat inside the Top 20, be forgiven for not even knowing they'd made a comeback. It's a bitter taste of the reality of the music scene right now. But, as The Hoosiers had already proven, even "going electro" or "going urban" can sometimes fail to tantalise taste-buds that, three years ago, would have been salivating wildly at the thought of McFly as a leather-clad superhero quartet with their own virtual city to defend. Despite this, McFly are steaming ahead with the third release from their comeback album 'Above The Noise'.
'That's The Truth', as you can most likely foretell from just the title alone, follows the typical McFly song topic - teenage heartbreak. But even so, McFly have always been very clever with the songs they write and perform - scour their back catalogue and you'd be hard-pressed (other than '5 Colours In Her Hair') to find any material as gimmicky and as childish as their teenaged rocker counterparts, Busted, who, with a two-album career of odes to thunderbirds, crashing weddings and travelling forward 1000 years in time, never really showed any signs of maturity. McFly on the other hand, have progressed and matured like a fine wine and it shows now in their lyrics and music. I'd go so far as to say that their audience has most certainly widened - nothing about the lyrics of 'That's The Truth' suggests it's solely aimed at the teenaged market.
With swirling strings and shimmering synths, Tom and Danny take it in turns to provide vocals for the song and armed with yet another huge pop chorus and lyrics that add a lilt of bittersweet to the optimistic production, this should rightfully make a strong advance on the Top 10. However, my guess is it'll stall around about #30 due to the free album give-away McFly participated in.
You could say, that all McFly have done here is re-write another one of their older songs and put an electropop backing to it. You could call them sell-outs for using synthesisers instead of guitars. You could even criticise them for collaborating Taio Cruz, an idea that on paper sounds less appealing than Jedward on helium and stimulants. Truth is, McFly have done exactly what needs to be done to ensure their fans and critics are kept happy and respectful, whilst doing everything that should keep them commercial. Counterbalancing the more "relevant" sound with lyrics about the struggles and strifes of difficult relationships with an adult contemporary twist, they've complimented the heavier electropop tracks like 'Party Girl' with very pleasing results.
Here's the video: Have you noticed, how in every video since their new sound discovery they're flaunting their guitars? It's almost like they don't want us to forget they can actually still play them. Mind you, they've always put their guitars in their videos, haven't they?
Poor Dougie. It's a very apt video, actually.
'That's The Truth', whilst playing victim to a climax that doesn't really climax, musically, and a few of those spitzy hand claps Dallas Austin is so fond of, manages to come across as a refreshing piece of pop with great vocals and even better lyrics to boot.

Ellien unelma tuli toteen, National Lottery Show
"Ellie’s dream meeting
DREAMS came true for a Wigan youngster when McFly guitarist Danny Jones visited a new arts club.
Danny, who is originally from Bolton, made the visit to St Anthony’s Centre in Horwich to give his support to Club imag1ne, an exciting new venture for youngsters with special needs, before taking to the stage with his bandmates as the headline act at KiDs Charity Masquerade Ball at the Reebok Stadium, organised by footballer Kevin Davies.
Ellie Greenaway, aged 15 from Tyldesley, who attends Fred Longworth School, said: “It was lovely to meet Danny. I love McFly and it’s brilliant that he’s here.”
The club, which meets every Tuesday at Bolton Arena for evenings of games, arts, drama and friendship, is staffed by highly qualified and experienced staff and offers membership to people between the ages of 10 and 30.
Impressed with the club and its facilities and with the promise to help the group in any way he can, Danny said: “I’m delighted to see these youngsters having this opportunity and having so much fun!
“It’s great for kids to be involved in music and productions and just generally being creative and expressing themselves.
“People have creative sides, whatever their abilities, and this group is letting young people express that. This is a group I really want to support.”

"Hundreds flock to see McFly's return to Marlborough
McFly fans swarmed into Marlborough again in their hundreds last night when members of the boy band made their second visit to the town’s music shop Sound Knowledge in the space of three months.
Lead vocalist Danny Jones and guitarist Tom Fletcher were booked to appear at Sound Knowledge to sign copies of their new single That’s the Truth but there was a bonus for the McFly fans when Harry Judd, who had visited the music store last November with Dougie Poynter, turned up as well.
A queue stretched from the music store the length of Hughenden Yard and then along the High Street for another 60 to 70 metres.
In November it was estimated between 600 and 700 McFly fans had patiently waited their turn to get their CD’s and autograph books signed by the band but on Monday one of the stewards controlling the queue and letting the fans into the shop in small groups said: “I think there are even more this time.”
One of the most patient people in the queue had to be grandmother Gwen Ball from Collingbourne Ducis who admitted she was not a McFly fan but was queuing to get their autographs for her 14-year-old granddaughter Amy Hopkins who boards at Warminster and could not get the afternoon off.
Mrs Ball was at the head of the human crocodile waiting outside the store and waited from noon until after 5pm to get the treasured signatures of the three McFly members for Amy.
Mrs Ball said: “It will be worth it when I see the look on her face when I hand her their autographs.”
The most ardent fan had to be Edward Scipio, 12, of Owen Close in Devizes who is confined to a wheelchair with cerebral palsy and who arrived early with his mother to make sure he was among the first to meet them.
Edward, who attends Threeways School in Bath had taken the day off to meet his heroes, said his mother Sharon, who added: “His bedroom is covered in their pictures and he rarely misses them when they appear on television.
“We are going to see them in Birmingham in two weeks time and they have invited Edward backstage to meet them."
The three McFly members had good news for their fans, assuring them that Dougie Poynter, who is taking a break from the band would definitely join them on their UK tour which starts at Sheffield on March 18.
Tom Fletcher said: “He is in rehab at the moment recovering from being down and stressed but he is getting better although he did need a few weeks rest.
“He is not going to miss any of the tour dates.”

"McFly dress up as superheroes to amuse Dougie
McFly have decided fellow band member Dougie Poynter is in desperate need of cheering up.
The foursome has decided to wear superhero costumes for their up-coming arena tour.
The boys were set to kick off their ‘Above the Noise’ tour early this month. The band have decided to postpone the first gig until the 18th March so their band mate can have a rest before the jam packed arena tour begins.
Ever the cheeky chappies, the boys have decided to have a superhero themed tour to bring some light heartedness to the recent sadness in Mr Poynter’s life.
Danny explains, “Our set is superhero themed. It’s like something out of Spiderman and Batman.”
Whatever the theme we’re sure the tour will be amazing. We just hope that Dougie makes a speedy recovery and realises he has thousands of adoring fans ready to help him get over Frankie."

"McFly out to get Reebok on song
ONE of Bolton’s biggest music stars has been tasked with finding a tune to rock the Reebok.
Wanderers fan Danny Jones – known by millions as the front man of pop group McFly – has been asked to conjure up a song that could be used as an official club anthem to boost the matchday atmosphere.
Jones, from Bromley Cross, was back in town with his band last weekend to perform at Kevin Davies’s charity masquerade ball, which raised more than £138,000 for local causes.
And speaking to The Bolton News, the 24-year-old musician revealed that the club had laid down two musical challenges to him on the night.
“The Bolton chairman Phil Gartside said ‘I’ve got a favour to ask – how do I get these fans singing. Can you write me a song?,” Jones said.
“That’s probably one of the biggest challenges I have ever come across in my life.
“How do we get the Bolton people singing?
“So, that’s a challenge I have got to do in my life. I'll let you know when it comes out.”
Fans have voiced mixed opinions over the club’s recent decision to play Depeche Mode’s ‘Just Can’t Get Enough’ after each goal Wanderers score.
But they will have few complaints if Jones is successful in his second task – penning a song to lead the club into an FA Cup final.
The Whites take on Birmingham City in the quarter-finals, where victory could land them a semi-final at Wembley.
And if they make the last four, Jones has promised to be first in line to write the official song.
“I’d love to do a Cup Final song, it would be awesome,” he said.
“I would be there in all my gear. I love football.
“I watched Wanderers when I was a youngster at Burnden. I had a season ticket at the Reebok.
“I moved to London when I was 16 so I missed a lot of games. But I always keep tabs on what's going on.
“They always look after me when I come home. I really do love it.”
The current Wanderers squad already have some form with FA Cup ditties, with Kevin Davies admitting recently that he had a helping hand in Chesterfield’s 1997 ode ‘We Can Build Our Dreams,’ performed by Caught in the Akt.
The tune never charted, but the club skipper reckons it is worth a look.
“It went to number one in the Chesterfield charts,” he joked."

"Pop-stardom hits Evesham as McFly comes to town
HUNDREDS of screaming fans packed into Evesham's Riverside Shopping Centre as pop stardom hit the Vale this week.
Chart-topping band McFly were in town to promote their new single That's The Truth at Rapture Entertainment.
Originally scheduled to visit on Monday (March 7) the band were forced to put back their appearance 24 hours after illness hit band member Dougie Poynter.
But more than 500 fans still flocked to the store on Tuesday (March 8) to see their idols Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones and Harry Judd in the flesh.
The band arrived at just after 5pm but the entrance was so packed they had to sneak in the back door. They then spent more than three hours chatting to fans and signing copies of their CD making sure everyone went home happy.
Natalie Boyles, store manager, said the whole day had been a bit of a whirlwhind.
"It was an absolutely fantastic day, quite manic in parts but it went really, really well," she said.
"There must have been more than 500 people here, it was jam packed, and we sold around 600 singles.
"The guys were really nice and stayed until 8.30pm making sure they saw everyone who had come to see them.
"We're the only independent record store left in Worcestershire, so to get a band the size of McFly to come along was a really great coup."

"McFly are back and they’re all grown up
“We flew into America from Madrid and from the moment we landed it was mad,” says Tom. “We’d heard Dallas had a bit of a party reputation. We got to his studio, an amazing, slightly intimidating place – there were discs for Boyz II Men and Michael Jackson on the wall – and we played him some demos and explained what we were thinking for the new sound.
“It was all going really well and then he got a text message through on his phone and said ‘so do you boys want to come and meet Elton John, then?’
“He was in Atlanta at the time and was supposed to be going for dinner that night. Dallas said he was meeting up with us and Elton said, ‘OK, bring them along. I’d like to meet them.’ We were so tired. It’s 10 o’clock at night by now and we’re jetlagged.”
Elton told them that he played his first ever show at the end of the road they live on.
Yes, McFly were growing up under some auspicious musical wings.
“What was amazing to us,” says Tom, “Was that he (Dallas) really liked and respected us. We recorded the first melody line for Party Girl into his phone in a club. We’d do an hour in the studio and then three hours out somewhere. That one hour in the studio was worth every ten hours we’d done before.”
The new material has a robust edge.
“We just didn’t have any fear,” says Tom, “We learnt to completely rethink what McFly could be.”
McFLY play the Echo Arena Liverpool on March 29. Call the ticketline on 0844 800."

"Forget that pie, Harry, why don't you tuck into us?
McFly have been talking about willies and sex! McFly have been talking about willies and sex! Willies! Sex! Willies!
OK, that’s enough. Promoting their new single That’s The Truth all over the place, the pesky McFly boys know exactly how to get into the headlines. Well, our headlines.
Harry told this week’s Star magazine: “Somebody asked us if we’d do a JLS and do a condom range and we said we’d go one further and do a range of sex toys!”
“They will be the least pleasurable dildos ever!”
We could come over and be the judge of that by testing out the prototype? No? Bit seedy? Sure. McFly also admitted that they’d all slept with fans, although we’d kind of guessed that from Danny’s thrush admission in our video last week.
Danny said: “We’ve all slept with fans, apart from Tom!”
Harry added: ““Yep, we’ve all tucked into a fan, when we were unattached, obviously.”
Poor little Dougie, who must have been a part of the interview before he trotted along to rehab, also opened up about his recent split from, Frankie Saturdays. He said: “Look, it’s cool – so long as she’s happy, that’s all I can ask for. Although I wanted to date Wayne Bridge, so I’m a bit jealous, to be honest. I’m gonna do one better. I’m gonna have an affair with Wayne Rooney. Prostitute myself.”
If we do a quick whip around the office, we could rustle up about seven quid? Either that or Dougie could probably find a nice sex addict who’d be happy to dress up like Wayne Rooney in rehab.
PS If you’re wondering what’s going on in this picture, McFly and the Wanted had a pie eating competition on Daybreak yesterday. No, we don’t know why."

"Band drops in for a McFlying visit
HUNDREDS of fans lined up for a chance to meet the pop-rock band McFly at a record shop in Marlborough yesterday.
Three of the four members - Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones and Harry Judd - were at Sound Knowledge, off the High Street, to sign copies of their new single That’s The Truth.
The group, who had spent the morning performing in London, have visited the town before and said they enjoyed it so much they decided to return.
Harry said: “It’s my second time. Me and Dougie were here last time and we had a good time.
“I have got a friend I met on holiday who turned up to the signing so I went around to her pub after the signing. And I have got some very good family friends who go to Marlborough College.
“The number of fans is overwhelming.
“Having been together for pushing eight years it is amazing that we still manage to draw a crowd and we hope to meet everyone and thank them for their support.”
The group revealed that Dougie Poynter, who is backing vocals and bass guitar, was not there because he is in rehab for stress.
Tom said: “Dougie is in rehab at the moment recovering from being a bit down and stressed so he is just getting better and he needed to take a few weeks’ rest.
“He isn’t going to miss any of the tour dates.”

"McFly's Danny Jones: I don't give a sh*t what Frankie Sandford does
Dougie Poynter's bandmate isn't interested in what Frankie's up to with Wayne Bridge.
While Dougie Poynter is in rehab dealing with his demons and struggling to get over his split from Frankie Sandford, his McFly bandmates want to give him their support.
'[Dougie] doesn't speak to Frankie,' Danny Jones, 24 revealed recently.
'I haven't had a one-to-one chat with him since it happened because we've been so busy with the tour.
'But I said to him last week, "We need to have a catch up".
'He's living with Tom at the moment, so that's good.'
Danny doesn't think Saturdays stunner Frankie's new relationship with West Ham footballer Wayne Bridge, 30, will last.
'No, I don't think so,' he says.
'I personally couldn't give a sh*t what she does.
'She can do what she likes.'
McFly confirmed on Saturday that Dougie's taking 'a few weeks' rest' in the Priory before the band begin their tour - the first 3 days of which have been postponed."

Danny doesn't think Saturdays stunner Frankie's new relationship with West Ham footballer Wayne Bridge, 30, will last.
'No, I don't think so,' he says.
'I personally couldn't give a sh*t what she does.
'She can do what she likes.'
McFly confirmed on Saturday that Dougie's taking 'a few weeks' rest' in the Priory before the band begin their tour - the first 3 days of which have been postponed."
Now Magazine, myös Sugarscape kirjoitti asiasta.

Tom, Danny ja Harry vierailivat Capital FM:llä tänä aamuna:
"McFly have been chatting to Johnny and Lisa about Dougie's rehab, their new single, the upcoming tour and play Truth or Dare.
The new single, That's the Truth is out now and the boys have been busy signing copies and preparing their tour.
However, all the spotlight has been on Dougie who is in rehab at the moment as he struggles to get over his split from Frankie Sandford of The Saturdays. The pair were in the process of buying a new house together when they split in November.
The good news is Dougie should be fit enough to join the rest band on their UK tour which starts at Sheffield on March 18.
Here's your chance to listen back to Tom, Harry and Danny.
Part 1: The boys on Dougie, the new single and Johnny and Lisa's chances of being the next X-Factor judges."

"McFly Star To Release Dance Album
McFly frontman Danny Jones is working on a new solo project without the rest of the band.
The singer reveals he's recording a dance album, which he'll be releasing in the future.
"I'm a huge dance music fan and I spend all my time making it," Danny explains.
"It was just a hobby at first but I'm putting together an album. I've invested loads of money building a studio at home.
"I don't want it to step in the way of McFly stuff so I'm planning on releasing it under a different name," Jones told the Daily Star.
"I've been working with Roger Sanchez, but the stuff I make is more progressive house like Eric Prydz or Afrojack."

"McFly star Fletcher planning a proposal
Mcfly star Tom Fletcher is planning to propose to his longtime girlfriend because he fears she will leave him if he doesn't ask for her hand in marriage.
The 25-year-old British pop star has been dating Giovanna Falcone for seven years, and he's now considering settling down with her permanently.
He tells Britain's Daily Mirror, "I think I'll have to (propose). I think she'll leave me if I don't. I'm 26 soon, so I think we're getting to the right."

"McFly star Danny vows to support arts club
POP star Danny Jones has pledged to help raise money for a Bolton club for youngsters with special needs.
The McFly singer met members of arts and drama group Imag1ne during a visit to his home town on Saturday.
He spent time talking to the teenagers, finding out about the club and posing for photographs.
Danny, from Bromley Cross, was so impressed that he has promised to help the new group in any way he can.
The 24-year-old said: “I am here to show my support to the group.
“When I was at school, there wasn’t enough time for music, arts and other creative things.
“People have creative sides, whatever their abilities, and this group is letting these young people express that. I would love to get involved. I will go along to a charity night or give things to an auction or do anything else I can to help. This is a group I really want to support.”
Danny’s visit proved to be a hit with youngsters from Imag1ne, who had been looking forward to meeting their idol.
Ellie Greenaway, aged 15, from Tyldesley, said: “It was lovely to meet Danny. I love McFly and it’s brilliant that he’s here.”
Her mum, Andrea, said: “It’s very exciting that Danny has come here.
It’s brilliant for Imag1ne to get someone with such a high-profile to support it.
“Ellie loves McFly so she’s been really looking forward to meeting Danny. She’s had an amazing day.”
Danny met the youngsters at St Anthony’s Chapel, in Chorley New Road, Horwich, after being invited by the group’s director, Mo Packwood.
She said: “I heard Danny was in the area, so I invited him to come and support us.
“It’s fantastic for the young people to meet their idol, especially because he comes from Bolton and has made a career from music.”
Imag1ne meets on Tuesday evenings at Bolton Arena and is open to people aged 10 to 30with special needs.

"Pictures: Bolton Wanderers' Kevin Davies joined by McFly at charity ball
It was a double celebration for Bolton Wanderers’ Kevin Davies on Saturday.
For, not only did his team beat Aston Villa 3-2, the striker later switched his shorts for a suit to host his very glitzy masquerade ball, in aid of his charity KiDs of Bolton.
Amongst the famous faces at the glamorous bash, which was held in the premier suite at the Reebok Stadium, were members of McFly, including Bolton lad Danny Jones.
They were joined by Iain Dowie as well as a number of Kevin’s teammates, including David Wheater, Ricardo Gardner, Paul Robinson, Fabrice Muamba and Gary Cahill, who scored two goals in Saturday’s game, along with Bolton manager Owen Coyle.
And indeed, not only did McFly and Britain’s Got Talent classical quartet Escala take to the stage, but so too did a surprise guest – none other than Peter Kay!
My source tells me that while Paddy McGuinness wasn’t there in person, he did appear on screen to introduce Peter, who entertained the crowd with his stand-up.
And the event scored another goal with the charity taking to its Facebook page to announce that the night raised a very impressive £117,000."

Tässä on ensin muutama pari päivää vanha artikkeli, jotka ovat vahingossa jääneet minulta julkaisematta..
"Dougie Poynter: 'I've found my wife'
Dougie Poynter has revealed that he has a new love interest.
The guitarist, who last month admitted that he still has feelings for ex-girlfriend Frankie Sandford, said that he doesn't know the name of the violinist he's attracted to yet.
The 23-year-old told Now: "I think I've found my wife. I don't know her name yet, though."
The McFly band member also confessed that he doesn't feel confident about his appearance.
He added: "When people say 'be yourself', it freaks me out. When I'm naked I look like a Scotch egg with 4 toothpicks coming out and a pea stuck on top."

"McFly set to return to Marlborough
Pop mania is expected to return to Marlborough on Monday when three members of the chart topping band McFly clock in for a signing session.
Last November between 600 to 700 fans turned out when two members of the band, singer Dougie Poynter and drummer Harry Judd, arrived for a similar visit to the music store Sound Knowledge in Hughenden Yard.
Fans from as far away as Oxford and Bristol queued along the High Street as they waited to meet the boys on the day McFly’s latest album, Above the Noise, was released.
A similar massive turnout is expected on Monday when the other two band members, lead vocalist Danny Jones and guitarist Tom Fletcher, arrive at Sound Knowledge along with Dougie Poynter to sign copies of their new single, That’s The Truth.
Shop owner Roger Mortimer said: “We were expecting just Danny and Tom on Monday because Dougie and Harry came in November but I have had a call to say that Dougie will also be joining them.”
He said it was important that those wishing to attend should register their interest by calling the shop on (01672) 511106 so that an estimate of numbers could be made.
On their visit in November Dougie and Harry spent some time with former St John’s School student Robert Dobie, 16, who was at death’s door the previous Christmas after contracting food poisoning.
Robert, who lives in Rabley Wood View and is now at Swindon College, said: “I was thrilled to meet Dougie and Harry last time and I will definitely be there on Monday to meet Dougie again with Danny and Tom.”
