Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Jono]

I've even spoke to some emo guys who quite liked Alphabeat. But is there a fan out there who dislikes them? I've just heard their 'Album Melody' on the Fascination single and it sounds really good. They are what pop and Radio 1 should be all about. Agree or disagree?

[dstrkzn]

I Love Alphabeat! i only know one song but they are just awesome.

It was on last night I was singing every word

[kitty]

Chris Moyles slated the new Alphabeat single this morning, taking it off halfway through. I must admit, it's not as good as Fascination, don't know if Alphabeat will be sticking around...

[DaNNiP15]

My mum threatened to kick me out if i sing their song so yeah my mum hates them

[FreakaZoid101]

I absolutely love alphabeat. They are amazing.

Remind me a little of Same Difference from X-Factor.

But amazing all the same.

[jembie]

I am indifferent but it cracks me up the fuss that Moyles makes over it. They do sound like Same Difference on the new single though.

[YoppaDo]

As already said, Moyles was bad mouthing the new single the other day, as were a few texts.

But practically everyone I know likes them, we sit around in the School Library and sing Fascination. Even walking home today with a friend we started singing it

:shock: Singing in your library? Someone got banned from ours because she spoke above a hushed tone...

[Sexi_chel]

Never heard of them

[Chris.]

Never heard of them

I assume that you haven't listened to Radio 1 for at least 2 months!

[Jono]

She doesn't listen at all.

[Chris.]

That explains it then.

[sinister]

I think they're verging on stock-waterman syndrome and make me feel a tad nauseous.

Is there anything on Radio 1 you like? :*

[sinister]

Loads, Mills, Moyles, Whiley and yes Bowman too. If I didn't like it I wouldn't have it on from six in the morning till gone midnight.

[tamba]

Never heard of them

It's a type of horse feed

Oh sorry that's Alpha A. Same thing really

[Lucinda]

I don't like it. It's plain annoying. I think Scott said it sounds like something from High School Musical. I have never even seen High School Musical and I agree. They're playing Dot to Dot in Nottingham in a couple of weeks time and I wouldn't want to see them even if I could go to Dot to Dot.

[Andy B]

Yeah what she said really.

[Danishgirl]

Actually, I wasn't to keen on Alphabeat in the beginning, but I really like them now. But I do understand the people who do not like them, they are a bit camp I guess.

To the people who don't like them yet: their third single (in Denmark, anyway, don't know if it's going to be the same in UK - the first two were the same) is quite different, you might like it, who knows.

[~bex~]

I liked fascination - am undecided on their new song. They're playing at my uni summer ball next month, will probably make my mind up whether I like them or not then.

[Jono]

I always assume these bands will have that S Club 7 sort of look...

Clearly not.

[Behelzebub]

I can dislike Alphabeat very easily, they're f*cking terrible, even worse than the bley Hoosiers.

[KingTutsWWH]

They're basically modern day Abba style kitsch. It's a Marmite conundrum; you either love 'em or hate 'em

I can understand why people might take a dislike to Alphabeat, but personally I find them rather cheery. I also like Marmite - it's very good for you too.
