Fan Base McFly McFly have recently teamed up withBusted and are due to release their firstalbum, we asked some fans questions about their recent success and what they think will happen in thefuture.

So, who is your favouritemember of McFly?

Fan 1: Dougie Poynter,mainly because I feel he is the one I have most in common with and he is just a lovely, gorgeous, sweet guy. The other three aren’t far behind though.Fan 2: I can’t pick! I love each one for different reasons and it changes constantly!Fan 3: Danny, he’s the most talented one.

So overall they are all pretty great, must be difficult to choose. Do you have an all time favourite song?

Fan 1: I would say that it’s probably Ignorance, as it’s different to most of their other songs. I just love the style of it.Fan 2: I really love all the old Room on the Third Floor b-sides like Easy Way Out, Get Over You and The Guy Who Turned Her Down; but my all time favourite is theacoustic version of NoWorries. It encapsulates the McFly sound so perfectly. It’s a song that expresses the love I have for them in words.Fan 3: I’ve Got You, It was the first song I’ve heard from them

and it made me fall in love with them immediately.

Over the years, celebrities have influenced a lot ofpeople. Have any members of McFly influenced you in any way?

Fan 1: Tom has influenced me to be a better person, to become more positive with those around me. Danny has shown me not to take myself so seriously, and to smile more frequently. Dougie has made me feel that even in yourdarkest days things can get better. Harry has influenced me to believe in myself, do the

things I want to do, with no regrets.Fan 2: Reading theirautobiography greatlyinfluenced me; especially when Dougie talked about his addiction/suicide attempt and Tom sharing his experiences about having Bipolar disorder.

Obviously we have to talk about the collaboration with Busted. Do you think it was a good idea?

Fan 1: I think it was anamazing decision. We have had McFly now for 10 years and I think it’s refreshing what they have done.
