I don't know why Will's singles haven't taken off abroad. I see him as a very long term artist so I hope he can eventually convince them but I think he needs to do personal performances and promotion which he hasn't done much until now. I know that he appeals in general to a more mature audience than a lot of the 'pop' stars, and I also know that some of those people dismiss him as lightweight because he comes from Pop Idol. A very good friend of mine in the US said to me that he will listen but the very fact that he was discovered that way does put him off. I think with time that will fade. But you're all behaving so childishly. What's with the gloating? Maybe he won't succeed abroad but so what? Loads of people find him refreshingly different and love his voice. You don't and that's OK too, we can't all like the same music. We cant see into the future but for now he's doing OK. Live and let live eh?

right last post on subject. I do not like Gareth or Will I just agreed Will is a clown and gave my reasons. I don't think I was being childish. I have no interest in "give him a chance" or comparing him to Gareth. oh and btw, just read that Darius is back in September, so that'll mean the whole PI thing will really flare up then. I noticed the Will and Gareth fans are already slating him so it's going to be mad with Gareth back too. What on earth is it all about? some TV program that was on two, three years ago now? I have no interest in any of them as it goes, unless they come up with good songs. Perhaps Willfans should be in the dictionary, wonder what the description would be? they certainly come across as in a different leaugue to other fans.

I bought into that self effacing image on Pop Idol and spent a fortune voting. I thought he had an unusual voice and I really loved some of the covers he did. I hated Light My Fire. I thought even Jose Feliciano's version was better. Afterwards when G got wall to wall promotion , I became an even bigger fan . I was a little disappointed with FNO but I knew he was being controlled by SC and SF. I think I started to feel uncomfortable when there was so much vitriol against other artists on Will's sites( particularly the one that won the award this year. )There was no point in trying to debate with the posters , it just made them worse. I went off W's fans and I began to be irritated by the ad libbing which wasn't ,in that he did it all the time as people have said and I just drifted away from being so interested in Will. Then my friend got me FC as a present and I tried to give it a decent chance. I listened to it nearly every night for a week but I just didn't like it. I don't like him singing higher - it just makes him sound a bit girlie, like a poor man's Mick Hucknall. When I said that I didn't really like FC on a general pop music site like this one, all h**l broke out and I was abused in no uncertain terms. How insecure are that core of his fans that they need to invade and swamp every messageboard if someone so much as breathes a criticism of him? They're not doing him any favours. I was seeing him in a different light and I stopped telling myself that the self important things he was saying were just quirkiness, his humour , as I had done in the past to excuse him. Every TV appearance cemented my impression that he was beginning to believe his own hype. My friend was relying on me to go to the Glasgow concert with her and I didn't want to hurt her feelings, so I went. He sang really well ( danced like a tw*t tho') but it didn't excite me. I've never come out of any concert feeling so flat. I think for me, the final nail in the coffin was PITP. I am now completely cured of the temporary insanity and I can now proudly say " I am definitely not Devoted to Will Young." Sadly I do think he is making a t*t of himself now and rightfully belongs in this forum.

JUST ONE QUESTION THAT WILL FANS SEEM TO AVOID ANSWERING.................If Will is this music saviour that the World has been waiting for, then WHY has his songs flopped in all the other countries that did not see him in Pop Idol? Who cares? Why would having huge sales in other countries make him any better? It seems that most of the vitriol in this thread is aimed more at his fans than at Will himself. Odd.

Oh dear, how can I possibly be a fan of this horrible nasty person and yet I am, can I just correct you about Will co -writing 5 tracks on his album, he co -wrote 6 out of the 11 tracks on Friday's Child. The rest is all true as you see it. Are you asking me the question or yourself? BTW I didn't use the words horrible or nasty in my post. Oh dear did I get one fact wrong? Thanks for the correcting one point - you're right he co-wrote 6 tracks out of 11 tsk and only 1 deemed good enough to release as a single. Glad you corrected this moot point .- ergo my whole post is cancelled out and he's really not a hypocrit after all. I'm sure you'd be only too happy to disabuse me of any un-truths in my post.

Angelface, you are scaring me now, your posts seem to be VERY ott and are really coming accross to me as someone who isn't just posting an opinion and no you didn't use the words horrible and nasty but I found your post was. It doesn't bother me if people don't like him or is music or if he's an idiot or a clown, or how much he sells in other countries etc,but I think you seem far too interested in just posting as many vitriolic comments as you can. Will is just a singer.

Will is just a singer. The thing that's scaring you is that I've posted some true accounts which you seem to be unable to either accept or challenge. If you think my points are just vitriolic why don't you give your opposing viewpoint instead of just dismissing mine as ott without backing up your assertion.

Angelface, remember that if you can't prove something like what you posted in court, it's libel.
Topic closed. Verdict: Will it not a clown or an idiot.
Thank you all, get back to work.
