I hate the way the lead singer.. sings.
In some sort for horrid French accent. Fucking annoys me. I actually thought they were French until he started talking on popbeach.
Their second single sounds exactly like the first one but with different lyrics.
I would describe it as a mashup between their first single and 'Addicted to Love' by Robert Palmer.
I fucking hate them.

I have to turn off whenever they're performing, it's just the guys smugness, which is utterly misplaced.
His singing is also, vaguely creepy like hes seducing you in time for a date-rape drug to take effect.

it's always annoying when it startes because you know it takes so long for the song to kick in.

I dislike the way that song has been used to promote every forthcoming event on telelvision for the past month, but I find it hard to dislike them not when the lead singer is so pretty.

This song terrifies me, I mean really scares me, the guy is creepy and I can't bear his voice.
And I don't like how it sounds a bit like Flashdance by Deep Dish which was ace - that confused me a few times at first.
Also I can't stand bands that take guitars on stage with them for no good reason - mimng is fine, but I'm pretty certain they never used one in the first place, at least not for more than 10 seconds before looping it.

The song's really dirty. There's something voyeuristic about the lyrics, as if whoever the song's about has been watched by a stereotypical pervy French man through a glory hole.

I haven't heard their second song yet but I'm gathering it's practically the same as the first, which I hated. Agree the singer looked creepy when he performs. Bleurgh.

to be honest, despite loving the song to pieces, the singer sounds like a bloody paedofile talking to an 8 year old. Not that he's doing that, but his voice gives me that creepy vibe.

I cant believe the blatant-ness of how similar their new song is to the first one (which in turn was, as already mentioned, suspiciously like Deep Dish - Flashdance).
I remember, I think it was around the mid/late-nineties, sooo many artists used to come out and have a hit and immediately follow it up with an identical song, hoping to repeat the success. It rarely worked (see: Lou Bega).

I've heard the new song and it sounds exactly like the first. The first was alright after a few listens and then it becomes just another beer advert theme tune.

Oh definitely!
That guy scares me. My Mum and I saw him do the song on CD:UK and we were both commenting how creepy he was. For once, I agree with the general consensus.
And on a related note, my Mum saw a poster in the latest Smash Hits posterbook of that boyband named Freefaller, and she said about one of them "isn't that the creepy guy from CD:UK who sings I like the way you move?" I nearly died laughing at her.

The song is musically addictive but does anyone else find the lyrics atrocious! It's one of those songs that could have been amazing if it had decent lyrics and a better singer. Ah well. Second one sounds the same I agree.

(which in turn was, as already mentioned, suspiciously like Deep Dish - Flashdance). Its a 3 chord guitar riff. How different could it possibly sound? No mention of the suspicious similarities between Deep Dish's Flashdance and Shandi's He's A Dream?

They over-ran at V and caused Estelle to be late and have to rush through a sound check and subsequently get booed. The cunts.
I mean, how can 'they' over-run? They only have one song that anyone knows/cares about. The cunts.
And they are cunts.
And people keep telling the singer he's attractive, when he really isn't so he seems to think he is. He's not. Cunt.
And he wears the kind of t-shirts only breasticled middle aged gays/metrosexuals wear that mean he has his tits hanging out. Cunt!
And they are kiwis (aren't they?) (not that that makes any difference to them being cunts or otherwise). Which if true, makes the 'French' accent even more cuntish.
And during one of their songs at V the one with short hair decided to stop pushing buttons on the keyboard and decided a to bang a drumstick off a metal dust bin in an obvious attempt to be 'cool' and 'street' and 'urban' and 'good'. None of which was achieved. He just looked like a useless tool and a bit of a cunt. Cunt.
The intro is the shittiest piece of shitty shit ever. The Cunts.
I'm not a fan.

Do you think they're cunts then, Greg? And, of course, you'd be right. The guy sounds like someone out of some dreadful Robin Asquith sex comedy, possibly playing a stereotypical Frenchman who goes "Haw-he-haw" a lot and has a pervert moustache.

Can I add ZZ Top into the sounds like category?
While we're at it...isn't Martin Solveig a nasty copyist too? I hate this rock n roll dance sound, it's incredibly boring.

You guys will get a kick when I tell you what their song (their old piece of shit first single) is being used here in the States to promote.
They use it in a commercial for Diet Coke and it involves a man dancing around his flat loking like an idiot. He jumps around the place in his boxers and gets dressed while dancing with these weird little bubbles apparently from the coke can going all around him. You would laugh hysterically if you saw it.
