The first of the current load of bands and pop stars made by TV, Hear'Say, have split up.
After 19 months, and a record breaking debut single, they say they are fed up of having to prove themselves. But were you fed up of them already?
Or are you going to miss their pure and simple pop?
Unfortunately this topic is now closed but there are Comments pages on other subjects on the main Chat index.
 I loved them at the start. Since Johnny joined they went down the drain. So I'm not really suprised. Fliss, 11, Wembley
Goodbye Hear'Say. They were a rubbish band who couldn't even sing. Get some people who can sing in Fame Academy. Emma, 12, Blackburn
I think that they should have stopped when Kym had left; she had the best voice out of them all. If you ask me they didn`t turn out as good as Liberty X and their songs are really good at the moment. I liked Hear'Say when they came out but when Kym left it all went a bit pear-shaped and I really felt sorry for the new boy that they put in. He only had one song. Katy, 13, Stamford
I'm not surprise at all! I think that once Kym left they had lost it. If you ask me they were no good in the first place! Lydia, 12, Northants
Manufactured or not Hear'Say was my favourite band. I'll be sad to see them leave the pop music scene as a group but I'm looking forward to their successful solo careers! Krissa, 14, Canterbury
This is what happens when you put a band together of normal people. Usually it doesn't work! (Take that hint Fame Academy, Pop Idol, Pop Stars, Model Behaviour!) Ros, 11, Leckhampton
What? You call that singing?? I don't really care if they split or not but it's one less irritating band to be played on the radio. Anne, 13, Wirral
I think they've had their moment of fame, and maybe they would have lasted longer if the public got to vote who got in the band, just look at Pop Idol and how well Will and Gareth are doing. Laura, 14, Hampshire
I will not miss Hear'Say at all sorry! But ever since they won Pop Stars they have been shoved in our faces far too much and it is getting stupid. I always thought they wouldn't last long because the craze dies down. If they hadn't been pushed that much they may have lasted. But in my heart I always knew Liberty X were a better band. GO LIBERTY X! Emma, 16, Middlesex
I am really sad about Hear'Say splitting. They were the craze at my school at the beginning. Everyone wanted to know their dance and words. I was really sad they ran out of fashion especially when Liberty X took their fame but I will always hope for the best for all of them for the future. Emily, 10, Bournemouth
I liked them when they were first made but recently I just gave up on them, they were so boring. They should have tried harder. Chaz, 12, Hampshire
It proves that you need talent, even if it's very little to succeed. These pop groups who mime and dance will not go down in history. Bands who make real music will! Clare, 13, Essex
Hear'Say have gone, at last! They were talentless worms, cheesier than Darius's ponytail and goatee. But I hope their story and the Pop Idol story will show TV show hopefuls: Don't win, be 1st runner up! It worked for Liberty X and Gareth didn't it? Laura, 13, Southampton
I love Hear'Say and don't know why people had such a big grudge against them! I don't believe that the audition replacement for Kym was a fix & I will always know that nobody will ever be as good as them. Good luck Hear'Say! Lovin' you was easy. Holly, 13, Huddersfield
I think manufactured bands are rubbish, what ever happened to groups being made by mates together? There should be more of them! Rachel, 13, Midsomer Norton
I didn't really like Hear'Say but other people did. If I was them I would carry on singing and show the public that I was strong and I was going to do what I wanted to do. Beth, 12, Framlingham
I think Hear'Say are old news, they have had their time in the spotlight and should make way for better bands. Harry, 14, Portishead
Hear'Say were a legend and will never be forgotten and still have fans behind them. My love goes out to every fan coz I know how it feels. I've been crying since I heard and even at school I never stopped. Hear'Say and their fans are always and forever. We still love you Hear'Say. You didn't deserve any bad press! Candice, 14, Hartlepool
I never did like them because I thought they weren't very good together. I know that some people do like them and that is their choice. Lindsey, 15, Swindon
Put it this way: "Hear'Say who?" They died out and I can't stand their music, Liberty X are better, but I don't really like them either. Emma, 14,
Hear'Say were a manufactured band who were never going to make it. They weren't music, they were a craze, they ran out like every other craze does.
George, 14, Crewe
I love Hear'Say and I am so sad that they will be no more. I was meant to see them tonight. The press wanted them to fail all along. HEARSAY4 EVA
Matt, 15, Blakeney
Liberty X, I feel have always been the more talented and stronger group. It doesn't surprise me Hear'Say haven't stayed around long. But I'm sure they will be missed.
Lara, 14, London
It just goes to show that you can't make a band the way Hear'Say was made. The whole TV series was a competition so the people in it were competitive and it's no surprise they didn't get on. I think for a band to work it has to be natural, it's all just so manufactured...ergh...
Rhiannon, 14, Cardiff
I'M SO GLAD THAT THEY HAVE BROKEN UP!!!
If they really loved their fans like they said they did they would actually sing for them.
Calum, 13, Twinholm
I am Hear'Say's No.1 fan and I love them. I'll miss you Hear'Say! xxx
Mimi, 13, London
I wasn't a huge fan of them. But I am upset that they have decided split up just because the press will not give them a chance. They deserved a fair chance like everyone else to show that they had what it takes.
Turkan, 15, Stevenage
I hated their music and their style, but I feel sorry that they have ended in such a way. It's funny to think how Liberty X were crying when they didn't get into Hear'Say - look where they are now!
Sofia, 14, London
They had their chance and they blew it, they were so desperate for publicity the fixed the auditions for a new member. I'm surprised they lasted this long.
Stephanie, 14, London
They were quite good but no one gave them a chance I will miss them. Oohh well at least we'll have the new Pop Stars band, if they are any good.
Mary, 16, Cardiff
I'm not going to miss them. I think this shows that it was only the publicity of the show and not the band that were selling the records. It's the bands that write their own songs, play their own instruments and are original that are able to stay in the music industry, not ones that are just a fashion and will pass.
Emily, 15, Kent
I think they were as good as anyone else! It's just magazines and TV didn't give them a chance - they hated them from the start!
Tim, 12, Kendal
