Much anticipation for tomorrow; will Harry do the livestreamed red carpet interviews at the Hall of Fame event? Will the Two of Us music video come out? In the meantime however we have today's content to entertain (and a little from yesterday and even before)...
The feeling is that it would be out of character for Harry to do tomorrow's red carpet walk, but so is rolling into town seconds before an event and he sure did that and besides, given the publicity emphasis on it, I assume he'll be featured. Who needs the official event anyway though, when you're Harry Styles everywhere is a red carpet! Witness him arriving today in NYC with his guitar in hand serving witchy 70s rock star realness in a wide brimmed spy vs spy gucci hat and flowing black coat! (and bright pink socks, cause he's Harry) He went straight from the airport to rehearsals and I guess facetimed a fan (???) He and Stevie will perform Stop Dragging My Heart Around tomorrow but it won't be televised til next month.
The 4music televised 'hangout' with Louis that had still been listed on the schedule for tomorrow has been removed but the TOU video release is still listed as scheduled on another site. The hangout was a pre-recorded segment, rumour has it, so many consider its postponement an indication that the video release will also be delayed, but I guess we'll find out tomorrow. In a new snippet from an interview from pre promo Louis says he won't be doing TXF again in the most definitive declaration we've seen, and in further notes from yesterday's O Globo interview we learn that when the publication attempted to ask about Zayn they were shut down by management and told that wasn't on the table. This is interesting because it's a reminder that they can do that when they want to, and that they didn't or couldn't do it to Dan Wootton, though I think it's also possible that it wasn't something that was on anyone's mind to blacklist until after Wootton asked about it (to Louis' stated surprise) and it became something that was getting press and distracting from solo Louis focused promo.
A writer for the Guardian was shitty and condescending about Louis in a super gross "he's not a Real Man" kind of way, but deleted, presumably after being taken to task for attacking someone pointlessly and in the wake of a personal tragedy (if not also for the fact that that isn't actually an insult and toxic masculinity is garbage). Louis talked in the O Globo interview about having a negative public image, and that tweet was a reminder that for all the people that love him, that is still something that's out there. Hard for me to believe, but the press is an ugly thing and full of lies, no question (that's not the part that's hard to believe, but people thinking Louis is anything less than an actual angel on earth certainly is.)
Niall and Julia released a simple and pretty video of What a Time for a stripped down and pretty acoustic version of the song closing with cute mutual "I love you"s, and Niall tweeted about the sunshine in London.
And finally, Capital FM Best Fans competition results are in and they are a sweep for our boys! In order the prizes go to, #1 One Direction, #2 Louis, #3 Harry, #4 Liam and #5 Niall. HAHAHA I almost feel sorry for everyone else out there competing... But not really. Suck it fans of currently active bands! We don't need "releases" or "concerts" y'all are just SPOILED! Meanwhile we out here thriving on toxic scraps like cockroaches in a post apocalyptic bandom wasteland...
