Post 26: One Direction and Little Mix on Tour Together? (1-28-14)

Lately I've seen rumors surfacing that Little Mix is going to be going on tour as the opening act for One Direction's Where We Are tour this year. I'm trying not to get excited over it yet because rumors are called rumors for a reason and if it's not true, I'll get too disappointed.

There are a few things that I'm wary of. First off, I feel like Little Mix and One Direction would have conflicting fan bases. I could see Mixers purchasing tickets just to see Little Mix and then leaving after Little Mix performs. However, I think there are quite a few fans that like both and would be delighted if Little Mix opened up for One Direction.

Some people are saying Little Mix's tour dates conflict with One Direction's tour dates, but from what I've seen, they end their tour with Demi Lovato in March, and One Direction's tour starts sometime in August. So this could be possible. There is a possibility here.

It's strange because I don't even like Little Mix that much. I like a few of their songs and I think they're all gorgeous and very talented, but that's about it. I think it's very cool because both groups were formed in the same way. Both groups were composed of solo artists on the X-Factor who didn't make it as solo artists and then were both put into groups. Well, the groups made it, didn't they?

Also, maybe it's a bit of the fangirl in me, but Zayn from One Direction is engaged to Perrie from Little Mix, so they would be touring together, and that would just be amazing. Anyone up for a tour wedding?

Post 19: Impersonators (1-16-14)

Last night Niall tweeted this (read from the bottom)

This isn't the first time that this has happened and I'm sure it won't be the last. People have pretended to be parents, siblings, and even girlfriends. Sometimes people go as far as to pose and say that people have died. Someone once posed as Sophia, Liam's girlfriend, and said that Liam's mom died. That's a little too far.

Why do people do this? Are people really that desperate for attention and followers that they will go as far as impersonating people and spreading horrible rumors? Yes, and that makes me kind of sick. People these days are so desperate for internet popularity that they will hurt their idols. This may not be their intent, but this does hurt their idols. I'm sure it doesn't make people feel very good to see people pretending to be someone they're not and getting rewarded for it.

I wish there was a way to stop this but I'm sure there's not. The only way I've seen that can stop it is when the celebrity finds out and tweets that these accounts aren't real. So for now, that's really the only way to determine who's real and who's fake. Maybe in a few years you will need fingerprint identification to sign up for Twitter. Now that would be the wave of the future.
