Oh maybe. I assumed it was from tour rehearsals but I don't think they made the tour, did they?
No, they ended 9th and only finalists 1 to 8 are invited.

Hmm. Now I'm annoyed that I don't know where it's from. I want to see the full footage.

Yeah, he should have been on Richard Arnold's segment but wasn't.
That's a real shame, especially for all the people watching specifically for him.

Of course I didn't! Seems like I didn't miss anything though from Cake's post

Honestly, these PR gaffes could have a real cumulative negative impact. Someone needs to sort out internal communications. Maybe it'll be on tomorrow instead.

*Hopes*
It's all looking really chaotic and disorganised atm.

'Fly my pretties, fly! I mean shuffle, shuffle my pretties, shuffle!'


When? Apparently he didn't even have the grace to keep his VT appointment on Daybreak. No one understands. Omgilysm.
Perhaps it's the tube strike's fault? Or perhaps singlefish sent her flying zombie trolls to pluck him away specifically to troll you? I bet it's that one!

Strange. I expect bulletins.
I think I was vicariously traumatised on behalf of all the people that preordered Duke Nukem Forever in 1997.

Okay, I'm actually looking at the page, can I only preorder a physical copy?

I thought I recognized the guys from Kingsland Road in the background.
If that is correct it must be from one of the first weeks of the life shows.

Ahh, I thought it was them too but I forgot they hadn't made it onto the tour. Must have been early in the lives like you say.

Christ. That never occurred to me, but it's scarily plausible. What's the betting single fish is going to whip her mask off like at the end of Scooby Doo and reveal herself to be, gasp, monrose?

I am full of admiration for your colossally geeky reference

At the moment, yes. I presume it will be available to preorder on iTunes or other reputable download services at some point though.

Besides, who wouldn't want Nicky to be physical?

I swear, I just sent Mr S an email and signed off with that without even thinking about it. This is not a good thing!

Omg that would be ****ing genius

I must admit, I was thinking how much monrose must be kicking herself for getting her new account banned just one day before we got to hear Answerphone

Hahaha, why thank you

Can't I wait till then, then? *looks hopeful*

*raises paw*

When it inevitably finds it's way into the English Oxford Dictionary I hope I get credited for it's transition into actual word.

After all it means it is a good song.
One just doesn't recognize it immediately as from the "ballad" singer Nicholas.

He may not be known in Australia
but "I won't give up" at:

So he must have been seen worldwide.

I think I posted it earlier on this thread, but someone had put together a '10 best' XF auditions clip for 2013 from around the world. It had 3 million plus views at that point. Nicky and Sam were the only two brits featured, so I imagine that's introduced him to some people abroad. He certainly gets a fair few omgilysm tweets from people abroad, some saying they wish they lived in Scotland.

Is TOTP still a thing?

Perhaps I should go and check it out. Purely for research purposes, obviously...

TOTP magazine is. The programme, not so much.

He always looks twelve

Don't tell me you don't like it, I thought you'd love it

And he's acknowledged the Daybreak thing, good.

OK some of u are confused lol! everybody (excl. USA) can preorder She Looks So Perfect on wed on iTunes & physical copies from our store
What is behind it?
Could it be that UK VEVO cannot be accessed directly in Australia?

I suppose it might not be able to be accessed, that would make sense. I thought the youtube with answerphone listed as the 5SoS song was just a clever joke to be honest. A very clever joke!

Is that account not just a fan account rather than a proper fake?

No he doesn't. Most of the time he just looks 17 but small. Maybe it's the haribo.

Yep. Poor chap. He get's the blame for Daybreak changing their scheduling.

brb hot ginger fatty on Coach Trip.
