The Future X (NEW Simon Fuller group)

[dUbrodošli]

Spoiler

A 7-piece boy/girl group from the USA/Canada

The Future X: Can Simon Fuller's TikTok band recreate the Spice Girls' magic?

The seven-piece band, who hail from North America, were formed after auditions on TikTok.

Needless to say, I’m in.

Who United?

 

[ZjermGiraffe]

I wish them and you well in staying out of the pop toilet.

 

[dUbrodošli]

That article is rather scathing towards poor Now United. I never even realised they didn’t have a record deal but this lot do.

Of course they’re focusing on TikTok. The single sounds alright:

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

I look forward to the ‘Debut’ single in 4 years time.

What are Prettymuch up to these days?

I was literally about to (and still going to) post about the shade against Now United

Again, that could also have been written about Prettymuch.

Sorry @dUb

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

TikTok really has finally found a use. Can we get Agnes on it to belt out ‘Here Comes The Night’?

The Now United fans (we’re known as Uniters) are FUMMING in the replies to this

 

[SystemAddict]

Are Uniters BOTS (like that new CGI member)? 60% of the replies consist of this automated message:

"Now United deserve a better company, that make them grow more, a better promotion of music, makeup artists, better clothes, and promotion in other countries. Things you don't do, Simon you have to promote Now United better, know that we uniters hate the way you promote N.U"

 

[dUbrodošli]

I think it’s more that they’re all Brazilian so copy and pasting that one message to get their (/our) point across

A first of its kind

 

[C’est la VoR]

Are these groups just a front for money laundering at this point?

Come now @VoR you clearly just want to talk about Bellefire again (and I am happy to indulge that).

 

[C’est la VoR]

They did spring to mind!

 

[dUbrodošli]

I must say I'm mordibly fascinated by their try-hard but MILDLY popular TikTok account, especially considering it seems to be their whole strategy

They're not exactly POPPING OFF just yet basically and still haven't released their debut single like PRETTYMUCH

However, this one sounds good

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

Well I can certainly see part of the attraction there @dUb

It must be exhausting being in one of these acts, the sheer amount of content for such relatively little return - remember when all you had to do to promote was turn up to GMTV?

 

[OutSynk]

I literally know nothing about this pop toilet candidate but I recently discovered this one and really like it

 

[dUbrodošli]

They released a video for their debut single

 

[dUbrodošli]

It's a pretty good song but I don't really see where they FIT these days and the styling is a bit try-hard.

 

[dUbrodošli]

STILL GOING

There seems to be a bit of effort behind this jaunty little number



It should be called What If

 

[dUbrodošli]

1.1m views in one day?

And the bot spam comments

 

[Jark]

quite a FUN VIDEO! and not a BAD SONG EITHER

 

[dUbrodošli]

not a BAD SONG EITHER

@BBCRadio2 have I got a tune for you

 

[Devil]

NO

Why do I like some of this

 

[Halli]

I like that

 

[dUbrodošli]

It's an MOR Adult Contemporary easy-listening BOP!

 

[KC 🦋]

Is this the new CuteBad?

I like these songs.

 

[Halli]

OK I love Daffodil now

 

[Kaleen]

I actually like these songs too. There doesn’t need to be seven of them though.

 

[Halli]

This Kind of Love sounds quite Ace of Base

 

[Devil]

Or High Hopes by Lil Lou

 

[Kaleen]

So it seems of the seven of them only three of them actually do any singing, and the other four are basically just dancers?

 

[Una Kratz Per San Marino]

Oh here we go AGAIN

 

[dUbrodošli]

Yep, it's 3 singers 4 dancers

 

[dUbrodošli]

Oh here we go AGAIN

 

[Pipo]

oh my, HOW did I miss this?

 

[Kaleen]

Damn you @dUb

I’ve listened to all 12 of their songs and they’re actually pretty good.

 

[dUbrodošli]

This one's very good
