In Which I Turn Fangirl... Again.

Hello, again, long time no see. Sorry about that, uni life has gotten in the way of, well, everything. For a good cause, obviously, but still.
Anyway, onto the reviewing of McBusted - TOURPLAY.
Now, I'm an absolutely massive McBusted fan, been a huge fan of both McFly and Busted for over six years, and was ecstatic when they announced that they were forming a supergroup as McBusted. So, I obviously went to their tour, hearing songs I'd never hear live, such as Crashed The Wedding and Year 3000, nearly crying with happiness over the entire situation. I was gutted that I didn't get to go to Hyde Park, but was glad I saw them at the O2 Arena. Which I thought would be the end of my McBusted experience.
But then they announced TOURPLAY, and it was another mad dash to get tickets due to the high demand, and I got tickets, then counted down the days until I could go and see the film. It did not disappoint.
The film documents the McBusted boys preparing for their tour, and includes clips of them singing songs from said tour, and Hyde Park, with interviews with each band member, talking about their thoughts and feelings of the whole phenomenon surrounding the supergroup.
To not spoil anything, there are funny moments (all I'm saying is carrots), parts where you want to dance around in your seat to the concert clips (Thunderbirds Are Go and Star Girl comes to mind) moments where you want to cry (good tears, good, proud tears). In short, it's an emotional ride for any fan of either McBusted.
There's so much controversy around this band currently, with McFly fans worrying about McFly's future as McFly, despite how they've repeatedly said that McFly will be back. But to me, after they've seen TOURPLAY, they'll see how much this means to them all, how happy this supergroup makes them, Matt and James. They're having so much fun and achieving the most incredibly things with McBusted, and are so happy doing it, that it's clearly the most fun any of them have had in years. TOURPLAY would convert anybody to being a fan of the supergroup, just seeing the smiles and laughter the six band members are sharing together because of everything they get to do because of this.
As James Bourne says, McBusted is a huge monster, and monsters die eventually, so you just have to keep on riding it until it does, and make the most of it while you can. And that is exactly what McBusted are doing, and having the most amazing time while they're at it. Nobody should ever doubt that about them. They're still the same down to earth, talented musicians as always, they're just riding the most incredible wave of success they've ever had.
I say, good luck to them, and that everybody should watch TOURPLAY, fan or not or any of the bands involved. If this film proves anything, it's that no matter how badly your dream goes, you can get right back onto it and have the biggest amount of success with it too. Something I can support with all my heart.
Thank you McFly, Busted, McBusted, and everyone involved in the film, it was a brilliant, brilliant film. I loved every single second of it, and hope it comes out on DVD so I can watch over and over... And search for myself in the crowd shots of the O2.
