Selling my soul to 5SOS? - Q&A #1

Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing ok? :)

Today is a bit of a different blog post, I decided to do a 5SOS Q&A so that it would give everyone who reads this the chance to ask me some questions or ask for my opinions on anything 5SOS related. I think I'll probably do these posts maybe only once every couple of months. So without anymore waffling lets get into the questions :D

What do you think about the band 5SOS signed, Hey Violet?

I had never heard of them before 5SOS signed them so when they announced it I went to their Youtube and listened to their song. I honestly think they're are ok, not my favourite but maybe when they release new music and I get to know them a bit more I could come to like them a bit more.

Which songs do you want to hear live that 5SOS never have performed with yet? Which do you want on the setlist?

I feel like I have said this like a million times but I honestly would sell my soul if 5SOS added If You Don't Know to the setlist, I don't know why they haven't because it is an amazing song and I need to hear Calum do that solo live! Also I would like to hear Never Be, English Love Affair, Close As Strangers and Social Casualty. Basically I want to hear all their songs live because they are all so flawless. Also this isn't part of the question but I need a studio version of Over and Over.

Are you seeing 5SOS on tour, if so how excited are you? And have you saw them before?

Yes I am seeing 5SOS on tour, as of today it is 60 days until my concert!!! :D I honestly have never been so excited for a concert before in my life and I have been to quite a lot of concerts in my lifetime. But 5SOS are my whole world and so seeing them live is what I live for. I have only ever saw them before in 2013 on the TMH tour where they supported 1D and that was amazing. I never thought they would come back to where I live on their own tour so yeah can you tell how excited I am yet? :)

What was the first 5SOS song you heard? 

The first cover I saw 5SOS do was Next To You but the first actual 5SOS song I heard was Out Of My Limit :)

Do you ever get hate bc you're a 5SOS fam and if yes, how do you deal with it?

Honestly no, I've never had hate because I'm in the 5SOS fam. Don't get me wrong I've had hate from people on Twitter just saying stupid stuff but not because of me being in the 5SOS fam. But if you do get hate just ignore it, it's the best thing to do. These people clearly have nothing better to be doing so just enjoy being part of the 5SOS fam, I'm sure someone will always be there for you to talk to :)

Who would you like to see as 5SOS support act on tour? :)

I've never really thought about it before if I'm honest. However, it would be unrealistic of me to say someone like All Time Low cause that will never happen. In my opinion though I think it will most likely be Hey Violet since they just signed them or maybe even The Veronica's again because they supported them in November or it could be someone completely new that we would never expect. 

Could you imagine that 5SOS ever would do something that would make you stop supporting them?

I actually had to think about this one for a bit because I don't actually know. I can't think that they would do anything so drastic that I would stop supporting them? If they killed someone maybe? haha but seriously when the day comes that 5SOS are no more you can bet that I will still continuously listen to their music and follow them on twitter (or stalk?) haha :)

That's all the questions I'm gonna answer today, I got a lot more than I expected I would so thank you if you asked me a question! :D and if I didn't answer yours then I'm sorry but this post would be way to long if I answered everyone's! :D

Make sure you follow me on Twitter - @5SOSFamDerpCon to see when I do another Q&A and also you can tweet or comment any blog posts that you would like to see in the future :)

Thank you for reading and I'll talk to you next time! :D

Love,

5SOS Updates

5SOS have been super busy lately and so here is a little point by point if you missed anything this week :)

• They attended the KCAs on Saturday 28th. They won best Australia/Kiwi artist which is amazing but unfortunately we didn't win them Best New Artist :( we tried our best though! :) 

• They got slimed at the end of their performance which I think is what everyone was waiting for and it was hilarious. - http://kca.nick.co.uk/video/playlist/watch-the-2015-kca/w7pcej#playlist/mgid:arc:video:kca.com:a9c8049f-1697-497e-87d8-6139f2c3bc97

• They got to high five Nick Jonas as well (jealous) - http://kca.nick.co.uk/photos#flipbook/r29gie

• On Sunday 29th they went to the iHeartRadio Awards. They won Best Fan Army which is basically our award but anyway they did a little acceptance speech which was super cute. Also can we just at Luke's hair!!

• They announced that they had singed their first band to their Hi or Hey record label called Hey Violet - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McrVkKsObpU

• The tour is practically only a month away now and I am super pumped for that!

5SOS vs Fifth Harmony Voting Rant

Hi guys,

So it has actually been a while since I have done a rant post and honestly I've been waiting so long for something to come up that I can rant about and I think that this is the perfect thing. If you haven't been on Twitter much recently then you will have missed the voting war that is happening between the 5SOS and the 5H fan bases at the minute. 

Let me catch you up - 5SOS and 5H are both nominated for the same KCA (Favourite New Artist) you can vote via twitter by using the hashtags  "#vote5sos #kca" or "#votefifthharmony #kca"

If you didn't know 5SOS and 5H fans have a past when it comes to voting for awards. Normally both groups are up against each other in some category at an awards show and normally when votes are cast via twitter people tend to get nasty and play dirty. It's turns in to a big thing all over twitter with both fandoms going against each other to try and win.

Usually I don't get involved in all the drama that it causes and I just vote for 5SOS and don't tend to notice what the 5H fans are doing to try and win however this time is different because Fifth Harmony themselves have actually gone to the lengths of bribing their fans for votes. 

Personally I've never had anything against 5H, their songs are catchy and I've listened to their album a couple times however I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a fan, I honestly didn't even know their names until the song Brave Honest Beautiful and even at that I couldn't tell you who was who but that's besides the point.

As I was saying, 5H have actually went and bribed their fans on twitter for votes for this award in return for tickets to the KCA event itself. Here's the proof - 

They have done several tweets like this, https://twitter.com/FifthHarmony/status/579411357134503936?lang=en getting their fans to tweet the hashtags and then they chose some winners to go to the KCAs. I honestly think that this is totally unfair and against the rules of the contest. If one act that is nominated is allowed to give out free tickets in return for votes then surely all the artists should be allowed this privilege? However I don't think 5SOS are as desperate as 5H are to win this award considering they only have retweeted tweets from fans that have the hashtags in them.

This isn't surprising come from 5H though since in the numerous other times we have had to vote against them they always appear that little bit more desperate to win by constantly tweeting about it, doing follow sprees etc to get more votes.

Don't get me wrong, not all 5H fans are horrible human beings that create horrible hashtags towards the 5SOS fans and vice versa not all 5SOS fans are perfect angels, expect for myself of course ;) (that was a joke fyi) If you are a 5SOS fan reading this (99% of you will be considering I am a 5sos fan account but anyway) I just want to reach out to you and say please don't rise to the things that fifth harmony and their fans are doing, ignore the horrible comments , block and report are there for a reason. I myself use those buttons on the daily and have no shame in admitting it!

All in all I think that's really all I have to say because if I say anything more I'll have an army of 5H fans on my back hating on me that I don't have time for. In the end keep voting for 5SOS, lets show 5H that bribing gets you nowhere in the end and also its to see that 5SOS have a lot more faith in us to win them awards without their help.

So lets win this award for them and continue to stay classy and not get involved in anymore of 5H's games. Stay focused and don't let them or their fans distract us from voting, stay motivated to do this for 5SOS. I feel like some sort of political leader giving a speech right now so you get the picture, here ends the lesson.

Until next week,

@5SOSFamDerpCon (follow me and become my friend!)

Ps. I hope you enjoyed my bid to try and my comedic by putting an extremely fetus picture of 5SOS at the beginning. My sense of humor isn't one many people get but whatever.

5SOS Updates

Hey guys,

So basically 5SOS have been in hiding (not literally but you know what I mean) and there hasn't been anything that exciting happen recently and there has been no drama in the fandom (for once) for me t rant about so I decided to just do a little update post about everything that has happened and everything that is to happen just incase you missed some things on twitter etc.

Firstly they have been in LA for like the past 2 weeks, presumably working on new music/new album which is so exciting and I can't wait to get some new 5SOS songs because I have listened to all of their songs at least 100 times each and I could do with something new to annoy my parents with! So with that enjoy these new pictures they have posted recently of them in LA.

Can we just take a minute to discuss each of the above pictures? Ok firstly Luke can he please stop looking like a fetus again because I don't think my heart can take much more of it to be honest. Ashton is literally looking like an angel and he melts my heart, everything about the picture is perfection. Calum in an, as he puts it, 'salmon pink' top and THE BLONDE STREAK IS BACK! Also Luke and Micheal in shorts. Micheal has his platinum blonde hair back and can we get an amen to that because damn it looks good and then finally Calum in the bucket hat makes me (and probably you too) want to squeeze his little cheeks because it is just too darn cute ok.

My twitter has been in a frenzy as of this week because voting season is back again and the boys are nominated for Favourite New Artist at the KCA's, vote for the boys here - http://kca.nick.tv/vote#cat=Favourite-New-Artist or you can tweet vote by writing a tweet and adding #vote5sos #kca at the end of your tweet but it must be at the end for it to count as a vote. 

Also the boys will be performing at the KCA's (March 28th, finally another live performance, that should keep us going until the tour!) and fingers crossed they will get slimed because let's be real it would be hilarious! Check out the promo video of the boys actually getting slime on them here wonder how long it took Ashton to wash that out of his hair?

I woke up this morning to a ton load of new 5SOS photoshoot pictures and I had a mini panic attack because damn they are all looking fine as hell recently and it just amazes me every time I see a new picture so if you haven't saw the new pictures (or even if you have, enjoy them again!) credit to @5SOSfam_JP for the pictures.

Excuse me while I go and jump off a cliff at the perfection of every.single.one of them. HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE!? I literally want to stab my eyeballs out.

Ashton needs to be separated from that hooded jacket before I have a heart attack and Calum is my daily facial expression to wards people I don't like.

There are so many more pictures but I chose my favourite, go to any update account and they will most likely have tweeted them all, you're welcome. Now which one do I make my new phone wallpaper?

Finally on the updates there has been more new merch added to the 5SOS store. You can buy them here - https://store.universalmusic.com/5sos/

I really am loving the new merch, in my opinion it is more wearable than their older merch and I really like the skull logo they have appearing on the new tops etc. However I am literally broke (like most fangirls) so for now I shall be an admirer and not a wearer (is that a word?) 

That's all for this week, hope you enjoyed this little updates on the 5SOS boys. Tour starts in less than 2 months so prepare yourselves for an influx of tour update posts etc! :D

Until next time,

@5SOSFamDerpCon (come hang with me!)

5SOS Turn Japanese?

Kon'nichiwa (or Hello!)

5SOS have been in Japan for the past week or so and I think we can all agree that it has been one of the most drama free weeks the 5SOS fam have experienced in a long time! So I thought that for today's post I would narrow down the top 5 best things that have happened since 5SOS have been in Japan (it was hard cause there were so many!)

1. Number one has got to be the fact that they are performing again. After what seems like a lifetime since we last saw them perform live they did 5 shows in total whilst in Japan. 4 supporting the 1D boys and 1 headline show of their own. We can all agree that they absolutely smashed their shows! Here is a link to them performing Beside You - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPSJKs5qQT8

Here are some incredible pictures taken by my friend @yuipokun

I think it is pretty clear how much they love performing and being on the stage, when they're happy the 5SOS fam are happy - am I right? ;)

2. Japan brought back the fetus days of Luke's hair. I think the whole fandom went into hysterics when pictures of Luke in a beanie with flat hair emerged and I'm not gonna lie I was one of those people! Can we just appreciate these pictures for a second - 

Credit to Yui again for these pictures!

He literally looks like 2012 Luke again and I don't know how to feel about it quite yet!

3. Ok can we just talk about them going to a cat cafe? I don't why but it actually melts my heart to think of them in a cafe with cats running around them, just me? Michael in his natural habitat or what? :D Although poor Ashton had to stand outside while the other 3 went in as he is allergic to cats. 

Here are some pictures from this event - 

Lets just take a moment and appreciate Luke and Michael - the 6ft giants wearing pink slippers and pretending to be cats - our idols ladies and gents.

4. I was happy to see them actually get to enjoy the culture and sights of Japan rather than being cooped up in a hotel room in fear of being mobbed (also props to the Japanese fam for being chill af and respecting the boys and not mobbing them. You are all rad!) anyway here are some pictures from when 5SOS were tourists in Japan.

5. Finally number 5, it could only be Ashton in a snapback. Sorry if this was a bit of an anti climax but this was by far my favourite moment of 5SOS being in Japan. I could waffle on about it all day to be honest so I think it's better if you just get the picture - 

I'm sorry but everything about this picture to me is just perfection. You can thank me later for bringing it back into your life, you're welcome.

There were so many more amazing moments that happened during their time in Japan so here is a collage of some of the other awesome things that they did.

As you can see they enjoyed having a Polaroid (and we enjoyed them with is as well!) also Dave.

As you can see a lot happened in Japan and it was hard for me to narrow it down so I basically ended up putting everything in there but hey who's complaining? Leave me a comment or tweet of your favourite 5sos moment from them in Japan! 

That's it for this week, hope you enjoyed 5SOS being in Japan as much as I did. I think we can all learn from the Japanese fam that if you are calm around the boys there is more of a chance of you getting to meet them and also it makes everything less stressful for the boys and they can enjoy their time much more. You can see from their tweets just how much they enjoyed Japan and I hope they continue to enjoy every country they visit this year!

5SOS next scheduled performance is the start of ROWYSO in Portugal on May 4th so for now they have just landed back in LA, probably to do more writing/ recording for new music!! :D

Until next week, 

Love @5SOSFamDerpCon 

If you read this far enjoy this unexpected picture of Dave and Cory dressed as Pikachu because goals. Thanks to John for sharing this with us all.
