Girls Aloud: Let's get Untouchable by Girls Aloud into the Top 10
[-Link-]Let's get Untouchable by Girls Aloud into the Top 10 is on Facebook...
Girls Aloud to The Top
Because Top 10 records are Untouchable
On May 3rd 2009 Girls Aloud’s 21st single, ‘Untouchable’ became the first to miss the UK top ten upon its official release, breaking a string of consecutive hits that ran back to their debut single Sound Of The Underground in 2002.
With its dazzling sci-fi inspired video, the most expensive produced by the band, and with many fans judging it not only one of the best songs of their Out Of Control album, but of their career as a whole, many were disappointed at the track stalling at number 11 in the charts.
The objective is to get Untouchable back in the top 10. But for that, we need your help.
To do this, we are going to choose a specific week when we will proceed to download the song and/or its remixes from any download site that counts towards the chart.
Girls Aloud's Nadine Coyle herself has shown her support of the campaign on popular social networking site Twitter:
'Some very kind friends have an idea.. Go to http://www.tinyurl.com/untouchabletop10 what a supportive group we have!! Your the best!!'

Help make Untouchable top 10 in 2010!Contact Info
The Plan:
The objective is to get Untouchable back in the top 10. To do this, we are going to choose a specific week when we will proceed to download the song and/or its remixes from any download site that counts towards the chart.
Guide to Download
The sites that you can use to download the song/remixes that WILL count towards the official charts are:
* iTunes
7Digital
Play.com
Hmv
Amazon
*
If you want to buy the song more than once, don't buy it from the same shop. Ie. You want to buy 5 copies, buy one from iTunes, one from 7Digital, one from Play, one from HMV and one from Amazon. If you get the song 5 times into your shopping cart in the same shop, it will only count as ONE SALE and you will have wasted your money.
DON'T start downloading the song until we choose the week. If you download it now it won't have any effect, we all need to download the song at once on the same week.
IF YOU DONT LIVE IN THE UK THEN DONT BUY IT! Purchases out of the UK don't contribute to the charts.
TESCO DOWNLOADS MAY NOT COUNT! We are waiting for confirmation on whether tesco downloads contribute to the the charts or not.

*I love this idea, for what reason i have no idea. It's a good song, but i honestly have no idea how this is gonna end. Actually, i think it will fail.
note:... i'm a little pessimist aren't i? ... lol ;)

Girls Aloud - Untouchable Lyrics
Through wind and rain we got here
Now we’re flying babe with no fear
We’ve been doing pain for so long
When I stare in your eyes it’s all gone
Through wind and rain we burn bright
Learn to fly through flames and hold tight
With so many ways to go wrong
But when I look in your eyes they’re all gone
And in my dreams it feels like we are forty stories tall
When you’re around ooh we’re untouchable
And in my dreams it feels like we aren’t ever gonna fall
We’re safe and sound and we’re untouchable
It’s only real when you’re not around
I’m walking in the rain the sun goes down (oh, oh)
And only love can save us now
I need you hear again to show me how (oh, oh)
I know that love shouldn’t be so hard
And sometimes we’re standing in the dark
But you light up everywhere I go
And I know a heart shouldn’t beat so hard
And sometimes we’re swimming with the sharks
But you light up and keep me out the cold
And in my dreams it feels like we are forty stories tall
When you’re around ooh we’re untouchable
And in my dreams it feels like we aren’t ever gonna fall
We’re safe and sound and we’re untouchable
It’s only real when you’re not around
The candle in my head is burning out (oh, oh)
I know that love shouldn’t be so hard
And sometimes we’re standing in the dark
But you light up everywhere I go
And I know a heart shouldn’t beat so hard
And sometimes we’re swimming with the sharks
But you light up and keep me out the cold
And in my dreams it feels like we are forty stories tall
When you’re around ooh we’re untouchable
And in my dreams it feels like we aren’t ever gonna fall
We’re safe and sound and we’re untouchable
Whenever you’re gone, gone
They wait at the door
And everything’s hurting like a before
Without any meaning
We’re just skin and bone
Like beautiful robots dancing alone
Whenever you’re gone, gone
They wait at the door
And everything’s hurting like a bore
Without any meaning
We’re just skin and bone
Like beautiful robots dancing alone
And in my dreams it feels like we are forty stories tall
When you’re around ooh we’re untouchable
And in my dreams it feels like we aren’t ever gonna fall
We’re safe and sound and we’re untouchable

McFly: Interview - European Tour 2009 (Paris) -- Better Quality
from mrsdannyjones6 on YouTube
McFly: Danny Jones - Born to Run
from mrsdannyjones6 on YouTube
McFly: Heatworld Interview
Being big fans of McFly ourselves, we knew that you'd all want to know every word that came out their lips yesterday. So, we've put up the whole interview just for you to enjoy. Don't say we never do anything for you...
Tell us about today. What have you been up to?
Tom: We’ve been doing a Celebrity Masterclass, where we’ve been trying to pass on some knowledge to a group of 26 people...
Danny: [Interrupting] 26 youths.
Tom: We’ve been talking about our career over the last six years. It’s been good talking about the bits of our job most people don’t get to see, like the behind-the-scenes stuff. Like, coming up with ideas for videos, or the album artwork, or recording...
Harry: Yeah, it was good. We first of all talked about how we got into it, how it all started for us, our journey, how we all met, and our record deal. All that kind of thing, and then we split them into three groups, and first we talked about song-writing and lyrics...
Tom: We did a breakdown of our song Lies, explained all the lyrics and how we came up with it. Normally we don’t get to say, really.
Harry: Then we set them a challenge to rewrite the lyrics to Lies, the verse and the chorus, in pairs, and then in each group they chose the best lyrics to perform.
Tom: They did good, didn’t they? It was only, like, an hour.
Danny: It was really, really good.
Harry: That was our thing, Tom was saying about their song-writing and lyrics and coming up with ideas, you have to dare to suck, just get out there and do it. Don’t be afraid. They did really well with it, and to just get up there and sing...it was awesome. Me and Danny talked to the groups about production and recording an album, and Tom and Dougie talked about the creative side of things, while Tommy our tour manager talked to them about touring and stuff, so they got an insight into everything. In the end, the guys [Tom and Danny] played them a little tune (Falling In Love – it was amazing), and it was a good day.
Do you think that a lot of kids assume the way to get famous is to do The X Factor or similar?
All: Yeah.
Tom: That’s the thing. I think a lot of them were kind of surprised by how much work goes into it. You know, hearing about how, when we’re writing songs like now, when we’re writing songs for our next album, already we’re coming up with what the next tour stage is going to look like, or what the artwork’s going to be like.
As this point, the boys get distracted by a signed picture of them on the table (the same one you can see above). Danny has noticed that Harry is “popping out” on the end, and finds it very funny...
Danny: Harry’s just popping out of there! That’s the worst picture ever.
All crack up.
Harry: I can’t believe they did that to me! Why did they do that?
Tom: [Laughing] It’s like a panto photo!
Danny: It’s like your picture when you work at GMTV.
All crack up again.
Harry: I could be a GMTV presenter...
Danny: You could with that!
Tom: That should be your Twitter profile picture!
All laugh.
Harry: I look like Ben Shephard!
Dougie: You do, yeah, I think that’s it.
heatworld: There’s nothing wrong with looking like Ben Shephard...
Danny: I’m Tweeting about this interview!
After we’ve all compared who has the most followers on Twitter and talked about how good Harry looks in a cricket jumper, we get back on track...
Do you think you’re good role models for young people?
Danny: I can roll quite a long way...
All fall about laughing.
Danny: A forward-roll model!
Harry: I think we are.
Dougie: I think so, yeah.
Harry: We’re quite well-behaved.
Danny: That’s quite a tough question.
Tom: I think we are, in comparison to other people. I think the fact that we work hard at our job means a lot. Obviously a certain amount of luck is involved, and we have a one-in-a-million type job, but it does take a lot of hard work to do this. We sit somewhere in the middle of a pop boy band and the creativeness of a rock band. We have the best of both worlds.
Danny: The best of both, like the bread.
Tom: Like that middle advert. It’s good to be in the middle. We’re semi-skimmed milk, that’s what we are.
Has there been one bit of advice, throughout your career, that you’ve always remembered?
Harry: When you’re going through hell, just keep going. I love that quote.
Dougie: When you’re going through hell, just keep going?
Harry: Just keep boshing it. Just bosh it! Epic, isn’t it?
Dougie: That is cool. Who’s it by?
Harry: Winston Churchill.
Danny: That is cool!
Harry: That makes it even cooler.
Tom: I think I’ve seen that on Call Of Duty 2.
Harry: I remember Robbie Williams at The Brit Awards after-party, me and Dougie were talking to him and he said something really nice and gave us some advice. He was like, “Enjoy yourselves.”
Dougie: Be the band you want to be, not the band you think you are. Tom Delonge from Blink 182 told us that.
Harry: Dougie loved that!
Dougie: I loved it. I went home and was like, ‘Yessss!’ I got an erection.
All laugh.
heatworld: You got an erection?!
Dougie: [Laughing] Nah...
Danny: We can’t take you anywhere, can we?
Has there been one person who has been the best teacher for you guys?
Harry: We’ve kind of learnt along the way and been there for each other. We’ve always been together.
Dougie: We kind of taught each other as well. If I started being a bit of a knob, then I know one of these [gestures around the room] would tell me.
Tom: Our management have been great, too.
Harry: You know, we enjoy it, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
Danny: Well, we do take it seriously.
Harry: We take it seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We take what we do very seriously.
Dougie: We don’t think we’re the most amazing band in the world...
Danny: Yeah we do!
Harry: [Deadpan] We do.
Dougie: We’re not like, I am legend.
Danny: [Laughing] I am London!
Tom: We are my favourite band, that’s true. [Laughing] We’re amazing. I think I would really like myself, if I wasn’t myself.
Dougie: But every time you see yourself on TV, you always go, ‘Oh no,’ like that.
Tom: I hate myself on TV.
Danny: I think I’d be really jealous of McFly.
Harry: I wouldn’t.
Danny: I’d be like, ‘They’re so scabby.’ I’m so jealous.
Tom: Look at those poor talentless twerps – how did they make it?
Harry: I wouldn’t like you if you said the word ‘twerps’!
Dougie: I love ‘twerp’.
Danny: Makes me think of a Twirl. Mmmm.
Harry: Do you think if you were exactly the same person, but you looked different and you met you, do you think you’d like yourself?
Tom: I’d be jealous of their normal chin.
Harry: No, you’re the guy with the normal chin.
Tom: Oh... Then I’d probably hate him.
Harry: I think I’d think I was quite classic. [Laughs.]
Do you think you’d ever do anything like this again? Another masterclass?
Harry: Our manager was like, ‘Harry, you could be a college professor.’ And I was like, ‘Really, what would I teach?’, and he was like, ‘You know...music.’ So I was like, OK...
Tom: It’s quite fun. If the person is genuinely interested, then it’s really great. When Dougie was talking it was a little bit...
Dougie: [Interrupting] Amazing!
Tom: [Laughing] Yes, amazing. I would like to do it again, yeah.
What would you be doing if you weren’t in McFly?
Tom: Professional Tweeter.
Dougie: Burglar.
Harry: Shagging...
heatworld: Shagging? Does that mean you don’t now...?
Harry: [Laughs.] I don’t know why I said that! I don’t know what I’d be doing, being a hobo apparently.
Danny: You’d see him in, like, Rio de Janeiro walking down the street.
Dougie: I’d be, like, hanging out...
Can you tell us anything about the new album?
We went out to Australia in February to do some recording, and then along that way we sort of found a new direction, halfway through the recording process. We came home, then we had the tour earlier in the year, and then we went out to Brazil and Europe, so we were touring for most of the year and now we’ve just started writing again and er...
Danny has started laughing at the photo of Harry “popping out” again...
Tom: [Distracted] And, so, we’ve kind of got a new direction we’re exploring...
Danny is trying not to laugh and it sounds like he’s squeaking...
Tom: And, like, this whole year, because we haven’t released anything, we’ve spent the whole year planning what we’re going to be doing next...
Danny, Dougie, Harry and heatworld are all now laughing.
Tom: [Laughing] You can’t have a serious conversation about this...
Danny: [Almost crying with laughter as he holds up the picture] It’s signed!
All crack up.
Danny: It’s signed like he’s proud of it!
Dougie: I’ve got to put that in my wallet.
A lot more laughing as Dougie attempts to fit the picture of Harry into his wallet.
Tom: Anyway, we’re writing up until about February, then we go back into the studio around then I reckon.
Will there be a UK tour next year?
Tom: Definitely! We’ll definitely tour next year.
Harry: [To heatworld] Will you come?
heatworld: Yeah!
Tom: We’ll release something first, because we haven’t released anything this whole year.
Danny: Release a dove.
All laugh.
Tom: We’ve got some quite different plans for next year. Not sort of music related, but something new. Something quite exciting... It’s really boring talking in the creative stages, because we can’t say anything. This whole year has been setting up stuff.
Danny: It’s pretty epic.
Tom: Much more so than we’ve ever done before.
Danny: Lots of exciting things, but they just take a bit of planning.
Harry: Do you want to ask us one more thing? Go on...
heatworld: OK. Harry, why don’t you Tweet more often?
Harry: [Groans.] That’s a bad question!
heatworld: Lots of people were asking that on Twitter today.
Harry: Tell them I’m aloof. [Laughs.] That’s a great word. He’s being rather aloof today! I love it.
McFly: Digital Spy Interview
McFly
Friday, July 4 2008, 06:46 BST
By Nick Levine, Music Editor
The McFly boys aren't just chart-topping popstars these days - they're entrepreneurs running their own record label too. In fact, they've just brokered a rather audacious deal with the Mail on Sunday, which will distribute copies of their new album, radio:ACTIVE, six weeks before it hits the shops. But have they kept their sense of fun as they've grown up? We called drummer Harry Judd - the one who knows a certain Miss Lohan pretty well - to find out.
What made you decide to set up your own label?
"Well, we had an opportunity to leave our label, Island, and we took it. We decided to set up our own label and invest our own money into it so we could have complete creative control. People are really sceptical about it and don't believe that we parted with Island on good terms, but we genuinely did. We just wanted the opportunity to do things differently."
How are things different now?
"I think this album has much better songs and the production is a huge step up for us. This is the album we always wanted to make and this is the way we always wanted to sound. It's not stripped down at all. In the past, because there were so many people making decisions at our label, the album would often get filtered and wouldn't sound how we wanted it to sound. We're still the same guys and we're not going to start releasing death metal or anything, but everything just sounds better now."
What's the single, 'One For The Radio', about? It has quite a pointed chorus: "Don't pretend you hate us when you sing along..."
"It's a positive lyric. It's saying we really love what we're doing and we've got lots of really loyal fans, so we don't really care if you don't like us."
Do you feel some music fans have dismissed you unfairly in the past?
"People are entitled to their own opinion, but I think often their opinion of us was based on things we didn't necessarily want to do. If people don't like us now, that's fine, because this is who we really are."
Is there one thing from the past that you really didn't want to do?
"Yeah, doing the Greatest Hits album. I really didn't want to do it and I was really p***ed off about it. At the same time, you can understand why the label decided to do it. Even if we hadn't supported it and we'd chosen not to promote it, they still would have released it because they own the masters to all our songs. It's great being on our own label now, because we'll own all our masters from now on."
Why were you so against it?
"Because we weren't breaking up and we had so many new songs that we wanted people to hear. We'd churned out three albums in three years and people had already heard all of those songs. It just didn't feel right because we were desperate for people to hear our new stuff. There's a bit of a stigma attached to Greatest Hits albums too, and we certainly didn't want people to think, 'Ooh, they reckon they've got loads of great hits'."
What persuaded you to sign the deal with the Mail on Sunday?
"It was an opportunity that came up and it just seemed like a no-brainer really - it means that within one day millions of people will get to hear the album. I believe there are loads of people out there who would love our stuff but they've never given us a chance because they pigeonhole us as a boyband or something."
How have fans reacted to the deal?
"It's been mainly positive, but I think some of them found it hard to understand, at least initially. A few fans are worried that the songs might not be as good because they're being given away for free, but that's not the case at all. Actually we want more people to hear these songs because we're so proud of them. Some people want the full album package with a booklet and all that, but that's coming out in September so they won't miss out."
Do you read the Mail on Sunday?
"Well, my mum gets the Mail on Sunday so I have read it a bit over the last few years. She'll definitely be picking up her free copy of the album on July 20."
Now that you're growing up and have your own record label, will you still show your cheeky sides? Will you still get naked at G-A-Y?
"Yes, definitely! We don't want people to get the wrong impression and think we're trying to be all cool and serious now. We're really good mates and we like having a good time and titting around, so we'll still be doing things like that."
Will Dougie still set fire to his pubes onstage?
"Haha I'm sure he will! He's a very odd boy. I can see him now actually, he's eating a salad out of a plastic bowl on his own. He doesn't talk when he's hungry, so that's why he's not doing an interview at the moment. He needs to refuel."
McFly: Ghost Hunting With…McFly Interview
Taking a trip into the deepest, darkest places in Northumberland, the world’s foremost ghost hunter, Yvette Fielding and pop punksters, Mcfly prepare to delve into the spooky unknown! Join the band and their ghost hunting guide as they prepare to face their most frightening fears. Ghost Hunting With…McFly is brand new and exclusive to ITV2, Tuesday 23 October at 9pm. Here is how the boys found the whole experience………
Why did you want to take part in the show?
Tom: We thought it would be fun…….we were wrong!
Dougie: I didn’t
Had you experienced any paranormal activity before you took part in the show?
Tom: No, not really. Harry saw a ghost once, and Dougie and I saw a UFO.
Dougie: I once saw the ghost of a cat’s bum.
Danny: No never.
Dougie, you seemed to be the most scared during the trip. Did you anticipate this?
Dougie: Well, I bought 10 pairs of boxers in case.
What was the scariest location you visited and why?
Tom: The mine – it was pitch black, wet and underground.
Dougie: The mine, because it was cold damp and very dark.
Harry: The castle, because it felt like we were in a real horror movie.
Danny: I think it was when I was in the hut in the forest on my own, I shat myself!
What was the most positive part of the show for you?
Tom: When it was over and we got back to the hotel.
Dougie: None of it.
Harry: Taking part in everything that I was asked to.
Danny: When Dougie ran into the wall in the lead mine.
Was there any part during the experience where you nearly walked out?
Tom: No, I wanted to finish the night.
Dougie: The whole thing.
Harry: Yes, once.
Danny: No, I wanted to go through with it all.
Tell me about the Ouija board experience?
Tom: The Ouija board wasn’t so bad, it was the stones being thrown at us that was f*cking scary!!
Dougie: It sucked, I crapped my pants.
Danny: Scary.
How did you find working with Yvette?
Tom: She was very nice in the end. Weird, but nice.
Dougie: I think she’s a witch and she keeps trolls locked up in her house.
Harry: She was great fun, awesome.
Tom – When at the castle you felt like you were being pushed. Why did you not tell Yvette about this as it was happening?
Tom – It was weird, but I wanted to be pushed harder and I thought if I told someone about it, it might stop.
Are you glad you took part in the show?
Tom: Yes.
Dougie: No.
Harry: Definitely.
Danny: Very glad, it was a great experience and I would love to do it again.
Do you now believe there is something out there?
Tom: Maybe…..we’ll have to come back and do it again to find out.
Dougie: Yes.
Harry: Definitely.
Danny: Something! Don’t know what though?
Have you had any further paranormal experiences since taking part in the show?
Tom – Not yet.
Dougie: I keep feeling someone touching my bum, but I think it’s Tom!
Harry: Dougie is a paranormal experience!
Finally, why should ITV2 viewers watch your show?
Tom: If you wanna see four wimps completely shitting themselves and running around in the dark for an hour, whilst having ghosts throw rocks at them, then this is the show for you.
Dougie: If you like watching cocky losers soil their pants and cry like babies, this show is for you!
Danny: Because it’s the best one yet!
McFly: Popjustice Interview
Story filed Sunday, 09 October 2005
An interview with the gentlemen from McFly in which tour-related issues are discussed. "I want the big benders back."
So says Dougie Out Of McFly in this 'sensational' and 'hard-rocking' interview wot we have done with a) Dougie and b), c) and d) the rest of The 'Fly.
We have done it because they are out and about doing a series of pop concerts - a tour, if you will - which will explain why most if not all of the following questions are of the 'on the road' variety.
It's tempting to say we joined them backstage on the first night but in truth we just did them on the phone about three weeks ago.
But anyway.
While on tour, do you have any fairly standard rider requirements which could be blown out of all proportion by the tabloid media?
Dougie: Not really, but it's very difficult to get a good diet when you're on the road - most of our food comes from motorway service stations and hotel room service.
Do you eat petrol and trouser presses?
Dougie: No, it's just all the Burger Kings and KFCs. I don't like eating at Wimpy, though - Wimpy sucks.
Wimpy used to have a sausage in a bun 'combo' called a Big Bender. Did you ever get your mouth around a Bender?
Dougie: HAAAA!!!! They had a sausage called a Big Bender? NO WAY. That's an amazing name for a sausage! (Laughs uproariously) Awesome! They should bring that back. Put that in writing! I want the Big Benders back!
Tourbus beds are a bit like coffins. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Harry: A good thing, I think, because if you crash and die then you're already in the coffin, so it does save time because they could just cut the bed out and chuck it straight in the ground. But if you crash then you're screwed either way.
You've got a female string section on tour with you. Do any of them have a fiddle?
Harry: No.
Would you like them to have a fiddle?
Harry: Yes, I would like that very much.
People always promise surprises when they go on tour. Is there anything genuinely shocking in your set?
Harry: There is one thing - it's quite shocking but I think people will like it.
Does it involve nudity of any description?
Harry: No, it involves music...
That's not completely shocking, is it? You go and see a band live, and the band plays music. HOLD THE HOME PAGE!
Harry: A fair point. Perhaps it's not that controversial. You'll just have to wait and see. We're very excited about it, though.
Which band are you glad you're not in?
Dougie: I would have to say Franz Ferdinand. I actually quite like their music, but the way they come across on stage just seems really weird. With their weird short haircuts, and their marching. It's too intimidating for a young lass like me!
Are you not just intimidated because you think they might have better hair than you?
Dougie: No! Not at all. Maybe it's subconscious. (Thinks for a bit) No, it's definitely not the hair.
Are there any rituals you all do before you go on stage? A group prayer, perhaps?
Danny: We all have a big poo. All the big American acts say a prayer - McFly have a poo. But there's nothing worse than being on stage and needing to go to the toilet.
Have you ever soiled your underwear on stage? That could be a major problem considering McFly's 'trousers below arse' policy.
Danny: I've always been quite lucky, but I presume you just take a break. What else can you do? You can't poo your pants on stage!
Well you could, but you'd have to make sure you did it each night to make it look as if it was part of the show.
Danny: Yes. That would be typically classy, wouldn't it?
Dougie. Quiet, hairstyle-changing Dougie. You do a new solo song on the tour. Is it 'emo' and should the rest of the band's 'Charlie alarms' be sounding?
Dougie: I'm not that into emo! I suppose I have my emo moments, every now and again. My 'emoments', I suppose you could call them. But no, this song isn't emo! It's standard girl-and-boy stuff.
Harry. You're about to go on stage in Glasgow or somewhere and you realise you've left your hair straighteners on in London. Disaster! What do you do?
Harry: Well, I don't user straighteners now, so...
Well your iron, then.
Harry: I don't iron my clothes. And I don't cook, either.
Come on, Harry, play the game. Presuming you wash from time to time, imagine you've left a tap running in London. You do wash, don't you?
Harry: Yes, let's go for a tap. In that case, I would ring our estate agent and get them to go round to the house and turn the tap off.
You see after all that hassle, that was a really boring answer.
Harry: Hahah! Okay, then - I'd actually reveal that I was a superhero, and I'd fly home, smash through the walls of the house, and pull out the sink with my bare hands. But dramatically, that would create even more of a leak - so I'd get my bed and shove it down the pipes to stop the leaking. I would then bosh through the wall again and fly back up yo Glasgow, and make it on stage in time. Was that dramatic enough for you?
That'll do nicely.
Harry: Great!
How 'rock and roll', in terms of popular cliche, is your general on-the-road routine?
Harry: I'm hooked on Sudoko. It's not very rock and roll, is it, sitting in your room at 3am with a pen and paper? Oh well.
Is anyone allowed to shit on the tourbus?
Tom: Absolutely not! You cannot shit on the tourbus. It's liquids only.
Tom, be honest. Have you ever broken the 'Number 2' rule?
Tom: I almost did, once. You have to sit down to go for a wee on the tourbus, because if you stand up and you go round a corner it all goes everywhere. One day I sat down and then I thought, 'Hm, I need a fart', and you know how farting has an effect on these thingsâ?¦ It almost came out, but fortunately I managed to hold it back in.
Has anyone else ever done one?
Tom: No - we thought there was once but when we investigated it turned out to be a bit of chocolate.
McFly: 'New album will blow you away'
McFly: Tom Fletcher _ has declared that the band's next album "will blow you away".
The group have spent the latter half of this year recording tracks for the follow-up to 2008's Radio:ACTIVE, which they have previously suggested will be a sci-fi concept album.
Fletcher has now given fans an update on the upcoming record's progress, saying: "We spent a couple of weeks in Atlanta working with Dallas Austin and his awesome friends.
"We came up with some absolute tunes. The next album is gonna blow you away. [I] can't believe how awesome the songs are already."
He added on the band's MySpace: "Since then we've been home, getting in the mood for Christmas and catching up with friends. Apart from the odd car crash, it has been an amazing month."
*McFly are expected to release the album in spring 2010.*
*I dont aagree with that date.
I think it's far to early , so i dont expect McFly's Album to be out in spring at all.
My guess is late july... but who knows, for i a know it could be october ...haha*

Girls Can't Catch: St. Trinian's 2 premiere!
St. Trinian's 2 premiere!
The girls' fabulous debut single 'Keep Your Head Up' is featured on the St. Trinian's 2 soundtrack album, which you can pick up here, and of course that meant that GCC hit the glam London premiere of the film in style! Phoebe has written you all a blog covering outfit drama, taking to the red carpet and meeting an old friend!
Phoebe: "We had been excited about the premiere for ages so when we went to Universal to get ready we were like hyper little kids ha..! We couldn't wait to walk down that red carpet… but typically I forgot something…my belt!! So I had to rush to Topshop and buy a new one which was rather annoying. We all are fans of St. Trinians anyway, so for our song to be in the film and for us to attend the premiere was like putting kids in a candy shop!!
'When we arrived on the red carpet (which was actually pink!) and all the cameras started flashing it was really overwhelming! We arrived quite early so we went and sat inside and we had bags of free choccie on our seats which doesn't usually happen in the cinema! Before the film started, all the stars of the film were bought up onto the stage - including Sarah Harding - our fellow label friend!! The film started and everyone went crazy clapping and cheering which was lovely!
'The film was fab, the actors were incredible and all three of us had a lovely time. After the film ended I bumped into Brian Friedman who did my choreography while I was on The X-Factor which was such a lovely surprise!! It was nice to see some familiar faces..
'After meeting some of you guys we got in a cab and off we went - we had such a good time, and hopefully will do it again soon! Phoebe x"

Girls Can't Catch: Performing Echo on TV
on TV for the first time...
Make sure you tune in from
11:35 this Sunday on
Channel 4!
Jess: "A couple of weeks ago, we were lucky enough to take part in filming for the Hollyoaks music show, which is a great new channel 4 programme based on the Hollyoaks set!
We traveled up to Liverpool the night before so we could be up nice and early to head over and when we went downstairs for breakfast there was another band sat next to us who looked really recognizable; but it wasn't until after we left that we realised it was Lost Prophets - who we then saw later on the show as they were appearing too!
Of course for those of you with a decent memory, we'd been on the Hollyoaks set before, so it was great to be back seeing some familiar faces and this time doing something a little bit different!
This time, our performance took place outside of il Nosh (the infamous Hollyoaks cafe). It was quite odd performing as the audience was behind us rather than in front;- which was a first for us but actually worked really well :) There were also some GCC fans in the audience who had made their way there just to see us, so was great to meet a few of them and have them there joining in with our performance of 'Echo". Watch out for a guest DJ slot behind us too…!
We really liked our outfits for the performance (I had some awesome sparkly leggings!) but the stage was on the terrace part of the cafe and it was such a cold, wet day, we were absolutely freezing! Luckily we were only required to run through the song twice before the crew felt they had everything they needed :)
It was so much fun though and I'm really looking forward to watching it back and also checking out the other artists that have appeared on the show! I think the idea of having a music show with this set up is really fun, and I already know I'll become a regular viewer :)"
You'll be able to see Jess and the other GCC girls in their star turn on The Hollyoaks Music Show from 11:35 this Sunday on Channel 4!
