Since this forum is inundated with boy band singles, what the hell?
Blue is a British boyband who have released a ton of trash over the years. I've had the "pleasure" of hearing a lot of their songs over the years in Italy since for whatever reason, that country is obsessed with them.
Anyway, "You Make Me Wanna" qualifies as that one good song from a crap group to me. This one has a really nice laid-back, mid-tempo vibe and it's missing the corniness of their other singles.

I got exposed to some of their music while I was on a trip to Asia. I was very familiar with "Fly By." It's a cheesy attempt at American R&B, but it has a catchy hook that I couldn't get out of my head. I also saw the video for "If You Come Back" on the Asian MTV alot. It's a sugary love ballad that reminds me of Take That's "Back for Good."
However, I'm not familiar with "You Make Me Wanna". I think the song was released on an album that came out after my trip.

I loved "If You Come Back." That song was f**king gorgeous. I don't know that one. I only like "You Make Me Wanna" and "Breathe Easy." i actually hated "BE" at the time but it was #1 on TRL Italy everyday when I was living there. so now it's like a great nostalgia song for me and I actually appreciate it haha. |

The only song I even remotely like by them is "If You Come Back". It dumbfounds me how Westlife and Blue were so successful. They're both awful.

Blue were basically half crap and half good to me. basically, their attempts at 'urban' music (and the raps) were bad tracks (and their cover of Next's "Too Close" was HORRIBLE - sucked all the soul out of it. the only way it would have been worse is if they had left that part in the beginning where the guy goes "I bet she can tell i'm hard right now. another sh*tty song they did is "Bubblin" - I mean, seriously, what the f**k?) I liked their cover of Elton John's "Sorry Seems to bE the Hardest Word" though. some of their songs, including this one, were catchy as hell to me, and I always liked them because Lee Ryan could sing his ass off, but then again i'm a sucker for glory note whoring male singers (see my Clay Aiken love  ). I also loved "If You Come Back" and this song as well. I liked Westlife's first three albums  Then they got too boring and crappy even for me and did nothing but covers. I've never understood Blue's huge success in Italy either...I mean, what the hell? Why them? Now two of them have got solo careers and are all over Italy too. "Breathe Easy" actually sounds really nice in Italian, but I haven't studied the language in years so I can't tell if they butchered it or not. Oh, and if anybody is curious, there's actually a reggae cover of "All Rise" on iTunes. I heard it on the radio once, and it's by LB and Wayne Marshall. |
