Anatomy of a Boyband

You may remember that I reported some time ago that Twen2y 4 Se7en who up til now had fallen into the so naff they were good category were launching a single that was actually good (relative to other boyband efforts).

It's called 'Where You Are' and it's not bad, not wonderful, but I only noticed a few missed notes, so good for a boyband.

Now I have also commented on the lack of flesh on their last video and they seem to be listening (or that's what my ego thinks).

The video starts off with the band as gardeners working on a...wait for it...garden while a model does a model shoot. This allows Thom to show us the top of his crack (again) and his chest whilst he plays with tools. Finally he picks a chainsaw and distracted by the model he cuts of the head of a bit of garden statuary. Now I'm not an expert in Health and safety law but shirtless wearing jeans that are slowly falling down is not usual chainsaw using attire.

Radon, and Andy get equally disturbed while gardening but don't get their shirts off.

Niall is washing the windows and perving on the lass when he falls off his ladder which means we cut to some Greek temple dream section where Naill sits on a rather naff sofa and looks pensive (and shirtless) while Radon gets molested by some women and Andy gets in a bad porn movie pose which he holds for some time.

The flaws of this video is that none of the good shots last long enough. Where's the long lingering shots of Thom (spot the obsession)?

The video is on the Media section of their site so make up your own minds.
