The Only Living D-Side Tolerator

[Angst In My Pants]

As I've said before, I think Speechless wasn't all that bad. So I'll probably be the only one sticking up for them here!

"Baby, here's the proof...":

1. The Almighty mix is the best thing sinced "whole & white" bread, especially the electric-y lightning static noises every time they say "static". But then I love silly noises in my songs.

2. I'm certainly not a massive fan, I don't even know any of their names. But one of them is quite unugly:


3. They sound like a1, which is by no means a bad thing. Except it makes me miss a1.

4. For some reason, I really love the lyric "Baby, here's the proof".

5. A lot of people are only slagging them off because they're not as good as Triple 8. I disagree, but everyone's entitled to their opinion. However, just because someone might think Triple 8 are good doesn't mean D-Side are naff by default. I love my mum, but it doesn't mean my dad is rubbish.

Having said these things, I haven't heard their new single and it will probably be grandma's pants.

i agree with angst in my pants. Speechless was quite a classy song, but i ain't heard their new one so i can't comment on that

Yeah speechless was a nice song

most are really fit. especially the guy with the dark hair and serious face

they're better than OTV anyway. Probably on a par with fellow Irish boyband OTT. And they weren't that bad.

Plus..........THEY'RE IRISH........hooray

they are irish NEY, in my eyes. ewwwww.

i do not believe they sound like a1 at all, bless their cotton 'we've not split' socks.

I was right. Their new song is in fact grandma's pants. Her very worst pair, with the faded floral pattern. I retract any comparisons I made with the mighty and much-missed a1. I have never been more wrong in my life.

OK... I would still do pretty jumper boy though. However I've gone totally off massive forehead bushy eyebrows boy... I saw him (ahem) "dancing" on TOTP and my goodness I have no idea what he was doing. Now I may dance like a complete twod (and proudly so), but this guy...!

Just for the record, as Geri Halliwell might say, my dislike of D-Side is not based on comparisons with Triple Eight, more that they are another example of the law of diminishing returns in Irish boybands:

Here's my lovely chart:

Boyzone >>>>> Westlife >>>>>>>> D-Side

Derivative >>>>> More derivative >>>>> Insanely derivative
Unimaginative >> Very unimaginative >>> No trace of imagination whatsoever
Quite ugly >>>>> Very ugly >>>>>>>>>> Nurse, the screens!
