The album is the usual assorted junk that you get with all manufactured bands, desperatly switching genres in a vain attempt to find one their good at. Before I become over critical I must admit that there first single Pure and Simple is not the worst song (it's second to Spice world). The rest of album is on the same level so if for som inane reason you liked it this album should be right up your demented little street

As soon as I put this in the CD player I knew I was going to enjoy it. It starts off with the well known "Pure & Simple" which got me into the mood of the album. I like the fact that it has a mix of both slow songs, and up-beat songs. The tracks are all really short, except from "Bridge Over Troubled Water," but this doesn't matter too much. Personally I prefer to have a slightly longer track, but these were okay. :) A personal favourite song of mine is "Love Will Never End." i enjoyed the start of this song, as I felt that I could really click to it. Also another one to look out for is "Sweet Alibi." This is one of my favourite songs, too.

All in all, I suggest that fans of pop music should go and buy this. Trust me, you will love it!


Popstars UK. A Manufactured band that can sing!   April 7, 2001

This album is incredible, even more so by the fact it was compiled in 4 months, rather than what can be years. Hear'say have taken the British charts by storm, and are bound to do the same round the rest of the world. There first hit, Pure and Simple is a catchy tune that u don't mind singing in the streets. This is by far the best POPSTARS album released anywhere in the world (I have listened to most of them!!!) Just remember... Wherever you go, I wanna be there. Whatever you do, I know I'm gonna be there, It's pure and simple I'll be there for you

Bootleg All Saints or what? The single "Pure and Simple" is so "All Sainteque" I had to do a double take when I first heard it. As for the other songs, does the word mediocrity mean anything to anyone????? I'm sorry but I watched this atrocious phenomenon of Popstars take place in the UK and though I hoped something good would come out of it all I have admit my disappointment gene went into acute overdrive. It suffered major cardiac arrest I might add when their single "Pure and Simple" hit the UK charts and proceeded to end up in the Number One position, well there is no accounting for British taste, which is peculiar to say the least. Maybe I am being too harsh but even the Spice Girls who were as manufactured as they came had a distinct sound of their own. This group should have been called "BEEN'SAID" because it has, and that makes is all the more cringeworthy....
