- Oh my gosh! Mary Poppins!
It does look like... Harry Poppins.
I can't. I just can't.
- Oh, internet. (sniffles) Making me tear up with joy.
- (children) Kids React to music!
This episode: Harry Styles, "Sign of the Times"!
- (FBE) Okay. So today, we're gonna have you
listen to a new song that just released.
And it's this artist's very first solo song.
- I think I know who you're talking about.
- (FBE) It's by Harry Styles. - I knew it!
- Wait, what?
- What in the world?
- His first ever?
- I didn't know he came out with a song.
- I hate Harry Styles.
I just can't listen to pop music.
- I don't like boy bands. I don't like One Direction.
If I don't like One Direction,
why should I care about Harry Styles himself?
♪ (slow piano ballad) ♪
- It's slow.
- So far, it doesn't sound like One Direction.
- ♪ Just stop your crying ♪
♪ It's a sign of the times ♪
- Sounds very sad.
- ♪ Welcome to the final show ♪
- This is Harry?
- It's just kinda sad,
and I don't like sad songs very much.
- ♪ We never learn ♪ - Hmm.
- ♪ We been here before ♪ - It's actually pretty good.
- This is really slow for Harry. I don't get it.
- This doesn't really sound like Harry Styles,
like, doesn't sound like the singer of One Direction.
♪ (music sways, sweeping melody starts) ♪
- ♪ Just stop your crying ♪
♪ It's a sign of the times ♪
- I don't really like it that much.
- This is so different. But it's still good.
- I think I like it 'cause it's kinda like calm
and kind of relaxing.
- ♪ We never learn, we been here before ♪
- It's not the best music ever. But it's still good.
- I think for most people, it's probably really good.
It's just that I'm not a fan of this kind of music.
- ♪ Stop your crying, baby ♪
♪ It's a sign of the times ♪
- I like this less than One Direction.
I like One Direction better. You guys should get back together.
- ♪ We got to, we got to run ♪
- He's a really good singer. Like, I didn't really notice that.
♪ (song concluding) ♪ - Nope. I don't like it at all. Uh-uh.
♪ (song fades) ♪ - That was pretty, but it was boring.
- It got very boring after a while.
The same lyrics for the chorus.
It was like the chorus was very long.
- Usually their songs are upbeat and happy.
And this one was, like, slow and sad.
- I thought it was gonna be like a pop boy-bandy song
like he used to play.
But it was like sad sort of. And it was good.
- (FBE) Well, soon there will be a music video for this,
but it's not out yet.
But there was an image that was released
of the music video being filmed,
and people online then turned it into a meme.
- (intrigued) Oh.
- Oh noooo.
- A meme? Yay.
- Yay! Give me the memes.
- "This is the only picture of Harry Styles
I ever want to look at."
- Is this in the music video?
- That's the original photo?
What kind of a music video is he shooting?
- What is he doing?
Is he hanging from something?
- He's flying in the air! Whee!
I would be scared to do that, honestly.
- That's really weird,
and I wouldn't really think
that that would be in the music video.
- (amused) Oh, "Harry Styles and the Chamber of Secrets."
Oh, he's riding his broomstick into the sunset.
- He's on the broom like Harry Potter.
- Oh my god, thank you. Thank you.
- I'm a huge Harry Potter fan.
So this one's kind of funny.
- This one is just like the most amazing one.
- He's already dangling. So might as well put a broom on him.
- There should be a "Shooting Star" meme of this.
That would be really funny.
- (laughs) A teabag? What?
- Teabag?
- Oh my.
- That one's really good.
- No, I don't want that in my tea. Nope, nope.
I don't want no Harry tea.
- (amused) "'Sign of the Times' by Harry Styles."
Oh yeah, that one's also pretty funny.
- Oh my gosh.
That one has to take first place.
- This one's funny.
Because it's like the music video, and it's SpongeBob.
And they kinda look the same.
- This one is my favorite by far.
SpongeBob is one of my favorite TV shows of all time.
- You can't ruin SpongeBob for me! He is the best!
He is the best Goofy Goober out there!
- (laughing uncontrollably)
That joke is so funny. "Harry Poppins."
- Oh my gosh! Mary Poppins!
It does look like... Harry Poppins.
I can't. I just can't.
- Mary Poppins!
♪ Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down ♪
- (cracks up) That one's actually pretty funny.
- Oh, internet. (sniffles) Making me tear up with joy.
- (FBE) Okay, so One Direction announced last year
that they were taking time off. - What in the world?
- (whispering) They're probably not gonna get back together.
Sorry.
- (FBE) So since the split, many of the members of the band
have been working on and releasing new solo music
to some success, leading many people to believe that
One Direction might not ever get back together.
So what do you think?
Is it over, or will they make more music together?
- I think that they're probably gonna get back together.
- I don't know.
Personally I really, really don't care.
- I don't think they're getting back together.
I don't think Zayn's ever coming back.
- They're over. I'm sorry.
When you're out of a group, it's so hard to get back together.
- It's gonna continue to be over
if everyone's making their own music already.
- They want to do their own songs.
And I think they were fighting about it.
So I think that's why they spread out and did their own songs.
- They got tired of each other.
They're like, "Let's just move on, forget about One Direction,
and make our own music."
- They all have such big careers as solo artists,
I don't think they're going to want to turn back from that
and become a band again.
- They've gone their separate ways. They're making good music.
But I don't really see a reason
why they would come back together.
- (FBE) So finally, some people online worry that Harry
may not be as successful without One Direction.
Others think he is the member
that might even become bigger than any of them.
So do you think Harry Styles' solo music
will be more or less successful than One Direction?
- Less successful.
The music was all poppy back then.
And now he's singing all sad.
- Less.
One Direction is a little bit more like exciting music than this.
- Less.
The other two songs from Zayn and Niall, they're really good.
And they're original and different. But Harry's is like--
He sounds really, really, really, really depressed.
- It's really calm, which can be a good thing.
But I think people like more energetic music.
That's not what the fans are really used to listening
from One Direction.
So I think that they won't really like his more calm music now.
- I want it to be less successful,
but I know for a fact that it's gonna be more successful.
Because so many people just like Harry Styles.
I mean, they like One Direction.
But I'm pretty sure they like Harry Styles the most.
- I don't think it's gonna be as successful as One Direction.
But I don't think it's gonna be the worst music ever.
It's good music, but it isn't as catchy.
It doesn't catch your attention
out of everything that's playing right now.
