Summary: This is a Wikipedia page on the singer
and musician Dougie Poynter. It talks about
everything he has achieved in his life. I have taken
the page and highlighted the bits that I think would
be most important to look into. It talks about
everything from his time in ‘I’m A Celebrity..’ and
going to rehab, to his current relationship with Ellie
Goulding.

3. Quotes:
• Danny Jones: ‘We’d never have started out if it wasn’t for our record deal, and at the outset we were just
grateful for them wanting to sign us. You have to make compromises, but you live with it. We were marketed as
a boy band even though we write all our own music, we don’t dance and we play all our instruments.’
• Danny Jones: ‘It’s amazing to have complete control. We flew to Australia to record our first album
[Radio:ACTIVE] on our own label. Everyone buzzed and gelled and the sound is amazing. We worked with one
producer and spent ten weeks together, working, surfing, hanging out, but just really excited about what we
were doing.’
• Tom Fletcher: 'On our new video we wanted to spend more on pyrotechnics. It was going to cost.’
• Tom Fletcher: ‘Underneath it all it’s the thing that we all have in common. We were all just kids when we got
together. We weren’t into it for the fame; we were into it for the music and to change our lives.’
• Tom Fletcher: ‘My priority was helping out my family,’ he says, ‘but also taking what I did seriously so I didn’t blow
things. How could I do that after what my parents sacrificed for me?’

Quotes taken from an article where all the McFly boy talk about the release of their new album.
Article written by Louise Gannon for The Daily Mail Online.
Further Research:
As the article goes into more than just the album. It talks about their childhood and in one case,
one member wrote a song about their experiences as a child. I could do some further research into
their album and their producers as this might be able to give me some more information on other
artists that could be linked with McFly. The wikipedia entries definitely help me to gather more
information and I know that there is a lot of information which will take me in various directions.
One quote states that they had some money problems when making a video so could research
into how they managed overcome this problem as they became very successful in the end.

Summary: This is an online article about Dougie and
his girlfriend Ellie Goulding. It talks about a rumored
engagement and how the two of them have helped
each other overcome certain issues within their lives.
Neither of them have commented on the rumor yet
sources have discussed how they feel about each
other and the possibilities for the future.

5. Quotes:
• A source told LOOK magazine: "They must have talked about it. If Dougie was to ask, I'm almost certain Ellie’s
answer would be yes.”
• "Dougie's seen all of his friends get married and he'd surely love to do the same, for both of them it seems
they've found 'the one'.”
• A source said: "Ellie's had a difficult time over the years, especially when it comes to believing in herself.
"Dougie completely changed that. There's something very special about someone who understands what
you've
been through and he makes her feel beautiful every single day.”
•"With Dougie, they're on the same wave length and just chill. She can hang out in her gym kit with no make-up
on. He clearly adores her and she seems besotted with him."

Further Research:
I could look into the relationship that the two of them have, whether it
being in magazines, online or in books. This could help me to find more
about Dougie and his life. All of the quotes have come from sources
close to the couple, so I could try and dig further into who might have
said them and how they are associated with Dougie and Ellie.

6. Summary: This is an article about Dougie and
when he was crowned ‘King of the Jungle’ from
featuring in I’m A Celebrity.. It talks about his
time in the jungle and there are also various
quotes from him and fellow contestant Mark
Wright, who became very close. Lots of detail
about the bushtucker trial they did together. I
have broken the article down and highlighted
key words that I think would help me in future
research.

Quotes taken from an article from the Daily Mail which talks about Dougies time in the jungle and
the moment when he got crowned the king.
Further Research:
As this article also talks about Mark Wright, a contestant in the show, I could do
some research into his background as this might be able to give me a better insight
of their friendship.

Summary: These are some screenshots from part of
an interview done by Glamour magazine to McFly. It
covers a range of topics such as their new album,
One Direction rumours as well as wedding plans and
their tour. As this interview covers a lot of information,
it would take a while to highlight all of the important
facts, but I have managed to highlight a few things
from a small section of the interview and I think that
with this interview, you can really get into their lives,
personally and professionally.

9. Quotes:
• Tom Fletcher: "It just felt like a good time to release one. We don't really count the first one. It doesn't really
count. We didn't want to release the first one…”
• Tom Fletcher: "Well, we've written a lot. We're going back into the studio and writing from January to early April,
just kind of solidly working on the album. So I think we're at the point now where we need to refine what we've
already written. That's where we're at.”
• Dougie Poynter: "When we're writing, there's been at least ten songs where we've been, 'Oh my God, this would
sound awesome with a chick singing on it as well.' But it just never happened. Girls don't like us. Girls don't talk to
us, so… If you know any girls… Tell them we need them. We need their vocal chords.”
• Danny Jones: "We always try and write with, because us being in a band, you know, you want a bit of
connection with the sound. So if you've written with somebody, it's [both of] your creation. Rather than someone
come in and go, 'I've got a song for you, sing it, record it.' That's why we wanted the 1D boys to be involved as
much as they could.”
• Harry Judd: "I think the guys will be pretty well behaved. If I'd gotten married five years ago, then all of us would
have been awful, including me! There's always one at every wedding isn't there? But I don't think it will be any of
these guys. I certainly hope it's not any of them!"

Quotes taken from a Glamour Magazine interview which talks about everything from their new
album, to wedding plans and One Direction.
Further Research:
I could look into the life of Harry and his now wife Izzy and how the relationship
works around the band. As there has been some conflict about the songs they
write for One Direction, I could find the relevant news articles on them as this
could give me more information about it.

Summary: This video is a section from the Paul
O’Grady Show in December 2013. This was around
the time when they were starting to collaborate with
Busted members Matt Willis and James Bourne to
become McBusted.

Park, McBusted, interview, Backstreet Boys
Paul: ‘So is this the last single for you lads before you all merge?’
*cheers from audience*
Dougie: ‘Hurray for the merge!’
Harry: ‘Yeah, the whole thing has been completely crazy because
we recorded that song and some other songs and planned to go
ahead with the single and then had the McBusted idea to do a
tour and it’s completely surpassed our expectations. We put 11
dates on sale and we sold out like 35 now.’
Paul: ‘That’s what you want lads’
Tom: ‘Yeah we’re headlining Hyde Park..’
Danny: ‘Yeah! And we got some special guests, playing with us.’
Paul: ‘Who?’
Danny: ‘Backstreet Boys’
*cheers from audience*
Tom: ‘We really can’t believe it, it’s taken us by surprise.’
Paul: ‘Well you have been at it 10 years, you’re highly popular lets
face it.’
McFly: ‘Thanks.’
Harry: ‘I mean, Hyde Park for us is just a dream and obviously Matt
and James are joining us.’
*cheers from audience*
This section of the interview is talking about their collaboration
with Busted and their upcoming performance at Hyde Park.
They get some cheers from the audience which shows that they
have fans who are very excited about Matt and James joining
them.

11. Quotes:
Paul: ‘Have you got used to the new band name yet?’
Tom: ‘It’s the worst band name in history’
Paul: ‘Yeah McBusted, it sounds like a hamburger’
*laughs*
Tom: ‘It’s one of the things where it’s so bad, I actually like it’
Harry: ‘Kinda like McFly.’
…..
Danny: ‘Yeah it was funny because we were in the Royal Albert Hall, we turned up and it was just on the lights in the
background and we were like ‘ah yeah that’s cool’, and we did the show and the fans called it.’
Paul: ‘Something catchy and looks good in lights.. McBusted, nice and easy.’
…..
Paul: ‘We have a video of the first time you all played together. Let’s have a look.’
*Video of McBusted singing Year 3000 live*
*claps and cheers*
Paul: ‘Have you started rehearsal yet?’
Tom: ‘No, no we’ll start closer because if we start now we’ll forget by the time the tour comes round, but that was the first
time we’ve ever played together, like we’ve been friends and we’ve written for each others band for 10 years but never
performed and that was for our 10 year anniversary and the tour was born from that moment.’
…..
Paul: ’You guys are so clever, who came up with the name The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas?’
Dougie: ‘Erm well that started off as a joke..’
Tom: ‘Yeah this is what happens when you have a lot of down time on tour buses and hotel rooms, you come up with stupid
things like pooping dinosaurs.’
Paul: ‘It’s brilliant! Kids love stuff like this.’
Tom: “I got told the other that like a 2 year old who’s first word he learnt was poo because of that book.’
Dougie: ‘Yes! Mission accomplished!.’
Summary: This interview carried on until they talk about the books that Dougie and Tom brought out. This is
something to look further into as it could lead to more information about why and how they decided to bring out
a book.

love is on the radio, boy band
Summary: This is one of McFlys’ music videos called Love Is
On The Radio. The song was released on 24th November
2013. The song comes from their sixth studio album since
they became a band.
Quotes/Lyrics:
Danny Jones: I was alone and my stomach was twisted, but I can get up
now, the dark clouds have lifted
…
Tom Fletcher : So turn it up, turn it up, as loud as you can make it go, ‘cause
love is on the radio
…
Danny Jones: Now that I’ve found you, my hearts beating faster, we could
be happy, forever and after
…
Danny Jones: We could be married like Mrs and Mr. We’ll have a son and
we’ll give him a sister
…
Tom Fletcher: Love is on the radio, love is on the radio, love is on the radio,
love is on the radio…
…
Danny Jones: Funny one thing lead to another, you came along from the
days with colour and it’s been an everlasting summer, since we found each
other
…
Tom Fletcher: So turn it up, turn it up, as loud as you can make it go, playing
‘till your speakers blow and listen ‘till your ears explode, ‘cause love is on the
radio
You can see that I have screenshot a section of
the video. This is showing you some of the lyrics
that are being sung. This kind of promotion helps
you to join in with the song as you may not
know the lyrics, but McFly are helping you by
holding up cards with them on.

13. Quotes:
stuckinthefanzone: Dougie licks a sledgehammer way better than Miley does.
jacqueline flynt: McFly and Busted actually very famous in Africa. In Africa, many people don’t have internet
access so CDs are bought.
desiderataification: McFly is my favorite band of all time. I hate their Mcbusted project music, but I know that they
are better than that so I still have faith that they can do better in the future. I mostly listen to Kpop now but when I
miss english music Mcfly is still my number one.
Julie Mcswain: Does anyone think the dude in the plaid (first song I’ve heard from them don’t get made bc I
don’t know name) looks like a blonde Brendon urie?
wolfie explorerofanimaljam: This song gives me the biggest ‘feel good’ buzz ever
Shiomi x: Before, I didn't even know who McFly were, but thanks to my best friend, they are now my favourite boy
band! :D I love Tom and Dougie so much I could cry :'D I do love Harry and Danny too.
Itss_Vickyy3: omg is it just me or is Tom the most adorable thing everr! <3 i would marry him if i could! x
Here I have managed to get a range of different responses from members of the public who have
commented on the McFly music video. You can see from the comments that the comments come
from people who live in different parts of the world. This shows you that McFly are known worldwide
which is probably one of the reasons why they have been so successful.
There are also other comments from people who haven’t heard of McFly before now. They don’t
comment on their music but also shows you that there are other people, who aren't fans also
looking and listening to their music and videos. This helps them to get a wider range of audiences
which is also good for their success.

14. These slides contain all 10 questions that I
put into a questionnaire about McFly.
Within 24 hours I managed to get 19
responses from McFly fans which is a very
good amount of responses. I posted my
questionnaire on McFly Facebook sites,
Twitter and also on Instagram as I left
comments on photographs of the band
members with the link in the comments. I
also asked my friends who are McFly fans
to also fill it out. I managed to get a wide
range of responses and it was very
interesting looking at the detail that some
people put into their answers. What I
found was that there are a lot more
female fans than male fans and I think
that this is because they are all attractive,
which is what females like in a singer/boy
band. The mode age range is between
16-20, which shows what kind of audience
they are aiming at, teenage girls. I asked
people who their favourite member was
and there were a variety of answers, but
Dougie came out on top with 48% of the
vote. Danny and Tom came joint with 15%
each whereas Harry only got 5%. My
candidates seemed to describe Dougie
as funny, cute and lovely and he seems
down to earth and I think that this is
something that females find very
attractive in a man, which is probably why
he’s so popular.

“For me it was one of the most amazing things to happen it
made me so happy because I loved busted and obviously they
would never ever reunite so that was it for busted.. then 2 of my
favourite bands collab bringing back one of my favourite bands
of all time which made me so so happy” – Respondent 13.

15. I picked a variety of questions that I
knew would get different responses.
You often hear about celebrities
influencing members of the public,
so I wanted to know whether
anybody felt this way about the
band. About half of my candidates
said that they hadn’t influenced
them, yet some of them went into
great detail about how they had
changed their lives. Dougie
especially went through a tough
time with depression and this is
something that a lot of people go
through, so it’s nice to know that he
has helped some of my candidates
through the same struggle. Some of
them have a lot to criticise them for
and it was interesting to know what
they thought, even though they are
a fan. Some of them went into great
detail about how McFly could
improve themselves as some would
like them to go back to being just
McFly, without Matt Willis and James
Bourne.

16. Most of my participants have been a fan of them since the
beginning and it shows that they are committed to the band
even now. I think that this helped me to gain some good
answers as they would have followed them all the way
through McFlys career, so would know a lot about them and
have a large opinion of them. As McBusted are going on tour
again, they have brought out a new song which feature all 6
members and I wanted their views on the new song. Quite of
few opinions are quite negative as they feel like McFly are
trying to go back to their first glory days and that the song is
rather juvenile for men progressing into their 30’s.

“I really used to love Busted, but I reckon that it's too

album, which they ended up hating.” – Respondent
