Did I get your attention? Probably, what with the current phenomenon that is the five piece British-Irish boy band. On this day the band touched down in Australia (well, when I say today I mean sometime during the evening, but hey it still counts as the 17th!) I'm not a super huge fan of the band. I appreciate their "rags to riches" story and I'll admit that some (read: ALL) of their songs are catchy and very easy to find yourself singing along too. But I just don't understand the craziness that 13 and 14 year old girls show when ever you mention their names. What is up with that? What is with the crying and the screaming and the sobbing and the way-over-the-top-to-hard-to-handle emotionality?!?!?
I remember watching One Direction on Sunrise a little while ago, when they first came to Australia to do their Sydney shows. They seemed to be trying their hardest not to acknowledge the crazy fans that were outside. It made me think that they must have the best PR group in the world!! Girls were literally throwing themselves forwards onto the barriers surrounding the sunrise building, clawing at the air in front of them, just trying to reach the five innocent boys sitting in a building behind glass windows! Some of them fainted. A lot cried.
And when I was googling the band, trying to find pictures of them, the number of blogs that came up was incredible. My favourite was one titled "There's only One Direction to my bed!"
Teenage girls - it's just such a hard concept to grasp!
