No he doesn't. Most of the time he just looks 17 but small. Maybe it's the haribo.
It was the haribo I particularly thought you'd like

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

I'm confused, the one in the rugby top or the one that's the friend of the one that thinks aliens built the pyramids?

Haha. Really? Surely the word fat makes the distinction quite obvious. The one in the rugby top!

Hmm. I wouldn't have called the camp one fat. But no, he doesn't do anything for me. Fatty Ginger though, Grrr

Amazing isn't it? And what's the betting that half of these girls saying it's amazing will magically change their opinion when they realise it's not who they've predetermined their adolescent allegiance to.

I've just looked them up. They've got like 1.6 million followers on twitter, so presumably have quite a following (possibly due to having supported 1D)

But yeah, this girls twitter that I found it through is all 'OMG it doesn't really sound like them but I love it', 'Is it them though it doesn't really sound like them but OMG it's perfect' etc etc and then finally 'GUYS IT'S FAKE IT'S NOT 5SOS IT'S NICKY MCDONALDS NEW SINGLE ANSWERPHONE'

I wonder whether it's a prank, a mistake (both acts are on Sony labels so entirely possible it's human error) or whether it's a REALLY GENIUS form of cross marketing - a bit like when Stock Aitken And Waterman put out Roadblock on an uncredited white label and all the hip black American radio stations played it to death without realising it was the same honky people responsible for Rick Astley.

Whatever, it's AMAZING.
I fully agree and it's absolutely hilarious yet genius at the same time. I'd love to believe this is "a REALLY GENIUS form of cross marketing" that you refer to. In fact, if you look on iTunes right now 5SOS are at #15 on pre-orders yet there isn't a preview.

What are the chances people are pre-ordering Nicholas McDonald thinking its 5SOS, then Sony/RCA make the switch. Because if that's the case, then all these people pre-ordering 5SOS are technically pre-ordering Answerphone.

The thought of that is just incredible if this has been purposely done. It seems too good to be true but would be so amazing from a marketing point of view.

Even funnier is that as of now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jCYDAv5Oi4 hasn't been deleted so even more people are hearing Answerphone (all over the world this is as well) and thinking its 5SOS.



EDIT; Ok, so it's a fake account on YouTube but still that's some funny stuff going on right there.

Oh zero, I'd say. They wouldn't get away with that. That would be fraud, and all the girlies who would be within their rights for a refund. If the youtube mismatch is deliberate, it does however get the song out there to a big, highly-share-literate audience who might not otherwise have embraced it. It also remains within the realms of plausible deniability. And that would be enough from a marketing perspective.

But it's probably just a prank. Or a mistake. But it also won't harm sales

It's very cleverly done though. The official 5SOS account is 5 Seconds of Summer, whilst the fake account is called 5 Seconds Of Summer and also includes a 卌 symbol that doesn't show up when scrolling through the videos on YouTube.

Its also funny to think this second unofficial video playing Answerphone has almost got as many views as the official version on Nicky's VEVO page.

This release date confusion is getting really weird. Answerphone is listed on Amazon as being released on the 16th March. But then further down under the product details column on the same page it's listed as being 7th March. SO it's either coming out on a Sunday or a Friday?

And people still seem to be being taken in by it.

I guess they have built up a massive following. It maybe that it actually has been viewed more times than the real song but the view counter hasn't caught up yet - those youtube view counters can get 'stuck' at times and then will suddenly jump a big amount.

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?

Meta Troll is back and I have been rumbled! Pesky kids!

*whips off mask to reveal Monrose, who whips off her mask to reveal Alejandro, who whips off his mask to reveal an even-more-confused-than-ever looking Louis Walsh, who tells mmpfb that he looks like an older looking Nicky Minaj before blinkingly shuffling away to find the zombie trolls*

I'm going to put you in a pink bra and busman's hat and get you to sing Ace of Spades. I'll stand by you all the way until the voices in my head say support the young looking Jason Donovan then I'll throw you under the bus along with your hat

That is sublimely, operatically glorious.
