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.

UPDATES:

• 5SOS joined Fahlo (on the app store) I still don't really understand what it is or what to do but you get exclusive content or something, they did this video for it - https://twitter.com/5SOS/status/578996179750367232?lang=en

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.

*Disclaimer - I have Yui's authority to use her pictures of the boys, please ask her for permission if you wish to use them for anything. Thank you. None of the above pictures are my own, no copyright intended. *

DerpCon Winner - Mexico

Hey guys! How are you all doing? :)

Today I bring you the Mexico DerpCon winner and the lucky girl is 17 year old Paulina ( @PaulinaPR97 ) She was kind enough to talk with me and explain all about her win :)

Mexico's competition for DerpCon was ran by Telehit, the music channel and what you had to do was make a 30 second creative video showing a super power and upload it to YouTube.

This is Paulina's winning video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gzWYDB-2hs&index=1&list=UUhSGkxmDF5INM3B8V0QaiOQ

I asked Paulina to describe everything that happened from how she found out about winning and the lead up to it, "I saw a tweet saying they were announcing the winner on the Friday, so on the Friday I got out of school as fast as I could so I could get home on time for the announcement. I was watching the TV when they said they were announcing the winner in a few minutes when I received a call and they told me 'you're gonna be on the air in a few minutes.'

Paulina then describes how she reacted, "I looked at my cousin and mom and started jumping. They then showed my video on the TV saying that I was the winner of DerpCon and  burst into tears. They started asking me questions and I was so overwhelmed I just said whatever came to my mind!"

On how she is feeling now, Paulina tells me, "I feel overwhelmed and super excited because this is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I get to spend it with my best friend and mom, what else could I ask for?"

When asked what she is most looking forward to about DerpCon, Paulina responds, "I'm really excited for everything that involves DerpCon! Meeting them and taking pictures, the show, traveling with my best friend and getting to know fans from all around the world and making new friends!"

Paulina saw 5SOS perform at the One Direction concert in Arizona but has never met them so this is going to be an amazing experience for her!

DerpCon is in 3 days everyone, be prepared! :D

Until the next time, love;

@5SOSFamDerpCon

DerpCon Winner - USA (Road to DerpCon Game)

Hey everyone! Well this is it, the last DerpCon winners blog. Lets end on a high note shall we? :)

This is the story about the Road to DerpCon winner. The lucky and much deserving winner is Ellie, ( @happygoellie ) 

She explains how she was able to achieve the top score in the Road To DerpCon game and be the lucky winner for USA. 

"I remember when the contest was announced. I was in school and I was so determined to win. I played everyday for a few hours and I could just kinda do it well I suppose. I t was a fun game and the more I played the better I got. After around a month of playing the game I got the high score."

Props to Ellie for being so good at the game because lets face it, I sucked at it!! :'D

I asked her how she felt when she won the competition, "I was so excited when I won, I was crying so hard, my mom also cried because she was so proud of me! I didn't imagine that I could win, I've never won anything before because I am so unlucky!"

Ellie has saw 5SOS perform before at WWA tour but she has never met them before so she is really excited to finally get to meet them!

When asked what she was most looking forward to about DerpCon she responds, "I am most looking forward to hanging out with 5SOS and the other winners because they are all so nice and I finally get to meet my favourite band!"

She continues, "I never thought meeting them would be possible! I am just so thankful to be apart of DerpCon! I can't wait!"

Ellie didn't want her photograph to go in the blog so I asked her for her favourite picture of 5SOS,

I also think this picture depicts 5SOS image perfectly! haha and hopefully there will be pizza at DerpCon! ;)

So that's it everyone. I hope you have enjoyed this little blog about the winners, I have loved writing it! :D

Love you guys,

@5SOSFamDerpCon

DerpCon Winner - Colombia

Hey everyone! Hope all is good in the Hood? ;)

Today I bring you the story of the Colombian DerpCon winner and the lucky winner was 15 year old Susana ( @h0ranftIrwin ) She explains to me what exactly she had to do in order to win this amazing prize! :)

"The competition here was about making a video showing what would I do to meet 5SOS. I went to the main park in my city and bathed myself in white paint and started singing and dancing to SLSP in front of everyone."

She continues, "In order to win, the video with the most votes and that was me!"

On how she was contacted to say she had won Susana explains, "A rep from Universal Music Colombia called me, I could barely hold myself together so I passed the phone to my mom and started crying because I couldn't believe it!"

On how she feels now Susana says, "I really don't know I am feeling. I can't believe that I am actually going. I am still in shock."

I asked Susana what she was most looking forward to about DerpCon and she told me, "Obviously meeting 5SOS and getting to do crazy stuff with them and also to meet the other winners because they are all so beautiful and nice people."

Susana has never met 5SOS before or even saw them live because she says "Artists never come to my country and 5SOS never have."

So this will be an amazing experience for Susana! :D

Congratulations Susana!! :D

Can you even believe that DerpCon is in 2 days and right now probably most of the winners are in LA?! Because I can't! It has came around so fast! :D

Tomorrow will be the last DerpCon winner's post but certainly after DerpCon I will be interviewing the winners again to talk about their whole experience :D

Lots of love,

@5SOSFamDerpCon

DerpCon Winner - India

Hey guys! :)

Today on the blog is all about the Indian DerpCon winner and the chosen girl that gets to go to LA for DerpCon to represent India is 15 year old Simrat ( @simrat_5 ) She was kind enough to share her story with us all today :)

"So I had to dress up as my favourite superhero," She begins, "All that came to my mind was WonderWoman. I made the costume all myself with stuff I found at home, I used paper and a lot of tape!"

Simrat then explains to me how she found out that she was the winner, "I came home from class and received a call. At first I thought it was one of my friends but then they started going into the details and I almost froze! They asked me a few questions about the band and then finally told me I had won."

I asked Simrat how she reacted to being told she had won, "I started crying over the phone and after the call ended I didn't know what to do at all! It was one of the most mind boggling and heart pounding experiences I have ever had."

Simrat has never got to meet or see 5SOS before and says she is really looking forward to getting to meet them.

Simrat's winning costume :D

Congratulations to Simrat, who will have an awesome time going to DerpCon!

There are only a few more winner's to be put on here and then it will be DERPCON TIME! I can't wait!

Catch you guys later,

Love @5SOSFamDerpCon

DerpCon Winner - USA (Spotify)

Hello again everyone! :D

Today I bring you the winner for the USA Spotify playlist competition and it was lucky 14 year old Alison ( @pizzaloner ) who the competition! 

For this competition, entrants had to create a playlist using Spotify and the playlist had to include Amnesia. The winner was drawn at random and as Alison said, lucky for her to be chosen at random! :)

I asked Alison to tell me all about where she was when she was contacted and how she reacted, "They contacted me via email. I was in class at the time and couldn't wait to open it so I did and seconds later I was out of my chair screaming and crying that I won. I ended up getting yelled at but how could you not scream when you're gonna meet your idols?"

She has a point there, I think everyone would have reacted the same!

Alison continues on, "After class I looked like a crazy person screaming that I won through the halls and down the street!"

"Right now I am beyond excited and happy. I've been awake since 5am excited for what is to come!"

When I asked Alison what she was most looking forward to about DerpCon she replied, "I'm mostly looking forward to seeing them in real life and seeing them smile, because their smiles bring me happiness."

Alison has never met 5SOS before but has saw them live on the 1D tour.

Alison will join all the other winners at DerpCon in less than 1 week!

Ok everyone so this time next week DerpCon will be over, which is super sad but I am SO excited to see what they do at DerpCon and I bet you are too!! :D

Not that there are many left to go, but until the next winner,

love, @5SOSFamDerpCon 

DerpCon Winner - Norway

Hey guys! Hope you are all well :)

This post has been long overdue so I apologize but today is all about the Norway DerpCon winner and that lucky girl is Lottie ( @Accuratehemmo ) who is 15 years old.

Lottie explained her experience of winning to me in a series of posts that to be honest is way to long for me to re-write so I will just insert all the pictures she sent me of her story and also it is all so good I can't cut any of it out because it is such a beautiful story! :D

Hope you all don't mind the way I did this post but it was too long and too good of a story to cut any of it out! Here is Lottie's winning picture;

DerpCon is NEXT WEEK, so literally SO close and I can't wait!! :D

Until the next winner (not that there are many left!)

@5SOSFamDerpCon

DerpCon Winner - USA (MTV)

Hi everyone!

Bringing you all another DerpCon winner, this time the lucky winner is Maria ( @happxlyirwxn ) who is 19 years old. Maria won the MTV Vine competition and she told me all about her win;

She explains what the competition entailed, "We had to make a vine and in a creative way say why your best friend deserved to go to DerpCon."

If you guys are interested to see Maria's vine you can click here to watch it :D

Maria tells me all about that moment when she was told she as the winner, "It was funny actually, me and my friend (Nicole) that I entered the contest with were waiting outside in line for the Hoodie Allen concert and I got a notification saying MTV had followed me and they also had followed Nicole as well. We didn't want to get our hopes up right then as we wanted to enjoy the concert."

She continues on, "We were standing at the Merch line by now and Nicole suggested I check twitter quickly, so I did and saw that MTV had DMed me!"

Maria then went on to explain how she reacted in that moment; "I just started bawling and shaking and I showed her the message and she starting screaming and hitting me! The entire night we kept looking at each other in shock and we couldn't even concentrate on the concert!"

"Ever since, none of us have been able to sleep or eat properly! There isn't anything in the world that makes us happier than these boys and they're a huge reason as to why we became friends."

I asked Maria what she was most looking forward to about DerpCon, she responds; "Seeing our boys (duh!) meeting all the international fans and making new friends and seeing their show at the Forum. Going to the Forum has always been on my bucket list, so it is so surreal."

Maria and her friend have been lucky to have seen and met the boys before but this will be even more incredible for them both!

Congratulations to Maria and her friend Nicole who she is taking! :D

Until the next winner,

@5SOSFamDerpCon 

DerpCon Winner - Philippines (#2)

Welcome back to the blog everyone! Hope you are all doing well? :)

A couple of days ago I posted about the first Philippine DerpCon winner and luckily I was able to get in contact with the second one as well and she agreed to answer some of my questions for the blog!

The lucky 2nd Philippine winner is 13 year old Liz ( @lizsunga ) Like before, the entrants had to post a picture or video to Instagram around the song lyric from SLSP "Your lipstick stain is a work of art" Liz explained to me what she and her friend did for their entry;

"We went to a local park and had a small meet up/picnic/party with some street kids. We played games, had food and taught them SLSP. We made a video summarizing what we did and we labeled the kids' smiles as the art itself because nothing can beat the art of moments and smiles."

This entry was so unique in my opinion and truly deserves the recognition it got! :) 

Liz then told me all about how she found out that she had won and that she was going to DerpCon, "My mom was the first to find out. We were in a restaurant after school and she was like 'Sh!t' and I was like 'OMG what?' and then said 'You won!' I started crying right there, I cried for a solid half hour and rang all my friends and family."

"Right now I am in so much shock to even comprehend what is happening! I'm slightly stressed too as there is so much to get ready before going and so little time!"

I asked Liz what she was most looking forward to about DerpCon and she said, "I'm looking forward to having fun with the fam and meeting 5SOS! Not to mention the scenery of LA too!"

Liz has saw 5SOS perform before but having the experience of being one of the select few winners of DerpCon will be amazing!

Until the next time,

Keep derping! @5SOSFamDerpCon

DerpCon Winner - Spain

Hola everyone (I feel that is appropriate since this post is all about the Spanish DerpCon winner!)

So as you know now, Spain chose it's lucky DerpCon winner and that person was 17 year old Nuria ( @beside5sosx ) She told me everything that happened when she was chosen as the DerpCon winner to represent Spain :D

For the competition Nuria tells me; "I had to tweet my most emotional moment with 5sos with the hashtag #5SOSDERPCONSPAIN. I wrote many tweets so I don't know which one they chose but I think it probably was the one with a vine where all my family was singing Wherever You Are for my cousin's birthday and I had to teach it all to them to surprise her." 

When told that she was the winner, Nuria explains to me; "The radio station called me and told me I was the winner and I couldn't even speak because I was crying."

On how she feels now, Nuria tells me; "I feel so lucky, this is the most important thing that has ever happened to me, I still can't believe it."

Nuria has been lucky enough to see 5SOS twice before. One at the airport when they came for 5countries5days and another when they were there for WWAT and they did a signing. Nuria told me; "I hope I get to tell them how much they mean to me and how much they have helped me."

I hope you get to tell them that too Nuria because you are such a deserving winner!

The lucky winner - Nuria

Congratulations once again, I know that you will have a brilliant time along with all the other winners!

Until the next winner,

@5SOSFamDerpCon

DerpCon Winner - Philippines (#1)

HELLO! Literally DerpCon is in 7 days and if that doesn't excite you then maybe reading about the Philippines DerpCon winner might!! :D

There are two winners from the Philippines and I was lucky to chat with one of them and that lucky girl was 17 year old Barbara ( @BarbaraJance ) (she also added that she will be 18 on the 28th of November, 1 week and a day after Michael's 19th birthday! :D ) 

Barbara explained to me what she and her friend had to do to enter DerpCon, "We had to either make an instagram video or photo inspired by the SLSP lyric 'Your lipstick stain is a work of art.' but add a Filipino twist to it! Along with it we had to add a description as to why we (best friend and I ) deserved to win."

I asked Barbara to tell me how she reacted when she found out that she had won, "The company sent me a text, just before hand I had sent a tweet saying how even being in the top 10 finalists was so surreal for me, so when I got that text time sorta slowed down and it took me a while before I started to scream because I was in so much shock!"

She continues, "In that moment I dashed down the stairs (almost falling over!) ran out of my house barefoot to my friends house (she lives about 20 seconds away) and I screamed her name and rang her doorbell like 10 billion times and then finally told her and for like the next hour we just screamed!"

"How I feel right now is indescribable! Just typing, my hands are shaking! I'm so grateful this happened."

I asked Barbara what she and her friend were most looking forward to about DerpCon and she said, "We can't wait to hear the album live! We've heard the songs forever and to finally hear it live with the boys playing their instruments is just out of this world!"

You can check out Barbara's winning entry on her instagram, here is a screenshot from it - 

Barbara has never met or saw 5SOS perform before so this experience will be extra special for her! :D

Congratulations to Barbara and her friend Alexis who she is taking with her :)

Until next time,

@5SOSFamDerpCon

Ps. I can't believe DerpCon is NEXT WEEK! And that these blog posts will be ending soon! :(

DerpCon Winner - Finland

Hi all, hope everything is going good with you? :)

Finland DerpCon winner was chosen recently and that person was lucky 19 year old Tiia! I got to chat with her all about her experience of winning :)

She tells me about her competition, "We had to make a 15 second long video doing something crazy. I decided to go swimming because it is freaking cold here in Finland!"

She explains to me what happened when she was told she was the winner; "I got a call from NRJ saying I had won and they played it on the radio. I was on my way to work and all my friends were looking at me when I was crying."

I asked her what she was most looking forward to about DerpCon and she told me; "I can't wait to meet all the other winners! I love meeting people who have the same music taste, it brings people together."

Tiia tells me how she is feeling now about winning; "I just can't believe that I have really won. It feels weird that a girl like me has won something this huge!"

Tiia has never met or saw 5SOS perform before so this will be her first 5SOS gig and she is so excited!!

Congratulations to Tiia for winning your DerpCon competition!

DerpCon is literally so close now and I can't wait to see what happens at it!

Until the next winner, love you guys!

DerpCon Winner - Holland (MTV)

Hi everyone, hope you are all well?

Sorry I was inactive over the weekend but it was Halloween and there was so many things that I went to that I didn't get time to update but anyway hope everyone had a great weekend! :D

MTV Holland held a DerpCon competition and the lucky winner was 20 year old Demi ( @dxmistyles ) and she was happy enough to share with us all her story :)

For this competition, entrants had to Photoshop themselves into a picture from 5SOS Instagram or Facebook, this is the winning picture that Demi submitted;

When I asked Demi to explain what happened when she won, she tells me; "I was at home putting together my new closet with my parents. I got a FB message saying MTV wanted my phone number. 5 minutes later they called me and told me that I had won, I was shaking so much, I couldn't believe it! The woman on the phone told me to listen and then freak out after, when she hung up I started crying."

After the shock of being told she had won, Demi tells me how she feels now after it has sunk in; "It's still really hard to believe that I have won! I keep thinking they are messing with me but then I see the emails and flight info and it's so unreal but it makes me so happy."

Demi has been lucky enough to see 5SOS perform 6 times during the WWA tour. She also got to meet them once before at an airport in Holland however she says her pictures didn't turn out good due to mobbing.

Demi also told me the thing that makes her happy about winning is that she gets to take her friend with her as her plus 1. She told me; "I called her and she had no idea. I asked her if she had anything planned for November 15/16 and she was so confused! Then I told her about winning DerpCon and if she wanted to join me. It makes me so happy to see how happy she is about it as well.  I am just so happy and excited and I can't even express in words how much this means to us!"

Congratulations to Demi and her friend who join all the other lovely DerpCon winners. 

Only less than 2 weeks to go everyone until DerpCon and we still have some winners to be announced!! 

Until next time,

PS. Recently again, hate towards DerpCon winners is becoming an issue and I just want to say that this is not acceptable in any way and is in fact a form of cyber bulling. Please don't participate in any of the hate or listen to any of the comments that people may tweet. Thank you :)

DerpCon Winner - Brazil

Hello again everyone! :)

Another DerpCon winner was chosen recently and it was the lucky Mariana 
( @imtriplex ) who is 21 years old and she will be representing Brazil at DerpCon in LA on November 16th! :D

I got the chance to chat with her and talk all about her experience of winning! :) She tells me; "To enter the competition we had to make a 5 second video showing our love for 5SOS. I made a stop motion of myself skateboarding, running and paddling to get to Hollywood to see the 5SOS concert."

Some snapshots of Mariana's video

When she found out she had won, Mariana tells me; "I heard my name on the radio, I didn't know if what I heard was true or not! 

She continues, "First, I got very anxious and thought I was going to be sick. My friend called me and I couldn't speak properly!"

On how she feels now about the prospect of going to DerpCon, Mariana tells me, "I am very excited! Especially because we don't know anything about DerpCon, like where it is going to be! And I can't wait to meet the boys and especially seeing them perform as they have never been to Brazil before!"

Mariana is the 16th DerpCon winner (that I have been able to get in contact with!) So congratulations to her! :D

DerpCon is literally just around the corner, so watch out as more winners will be unveiled in the coming week!

Until next time, 

Love, @5SOSFamDerpCon

DerpCon Winner - Canada

Hi everyone!

Canada chose it's DerpCon winner yesterday and it was lucky 17 year old Jade ( @Calums2ndBass ) who was selected from all the amazing entries!

The Much competition consisted of entrants making up a Superhero and posting a different picture everyday on Instagram showing off your creation. Jade explains to me, "My costume was Canadian mutant ninja turtle, inspired by the boys love of ninja turtles."

Jade's amazing costume!

I asked Jade how she felt about winning and she said, "I feel so honoured and excited!" 

Jade has been lucky enough to see 5sos perform live twice before with One Direction but has never actually met them, so she is really excited about that!

Congratulations to lucky Jade who will have a great time at DerpCon!

Until next time, 

Love @5SOSFamDerpcon

DerpCon Winner - Denmark

Hello 5SOS fam and others alike, Denmark chose it's DerpCon winner recently and today I bring you all the information about the winner!

The lucky winner for Denmark was 15 year old Emilie ( @EmilieA009 ) and she tells me all about her experience of how she won DerpCon!!

She explains what she and her friend did to enter; "We made a video where we sang Don't Stop and dressed up as superheroes. Like an imitation of the Don't Stop music video." 

You can watch Emilie's video on her Instagram - @emiliea009

To announce the winners, Denmark brought all the DerpCon finalists to a cinema in Copenhagen, when Emilie found out she won she explains; "A video of the boys played on the screen and they told us that we had won! It was so crazy, we cried and cried!" 

After all the excitement of winning and reflecting on the whole thing Emilie tells me; "I feel so blessed. I can't believe that I actually won. It's just so surreal."

Emilie has never met the boys and has never saw them perform before so she is really excited to have the opportunity to go and finally et to do those things!

Congratulations to Emilie, Denmarks' DerpCon winner! A truly deserving winner :)

Until the next DerpCon winner,

Lots of love, @5SOSFamDerpCon
