First up, congratulations. You've got an album coming out, that's massive.
- It's crazy. - It's huge.
I mean, how does that feel, just being in that process?
It's crazy, I mean I think we've all dreamed of doing this and suddenly it's four days
away or something.
It's such an amazing label as well, it's incredible. Dream come true.
To have an album out two months after we've won the show, it's just- The turn around is
so quick we didn't imagine it, did we?
No.
So many reality stars, they do really well, they're really popular, they don't make it
to the album stage. Are you kind of proud of that?
- Absolutely. - Yeah, totally.
It's like our baby.
We're gonna be promoting it everywhere.
Yeah, like, look at our baby!
Whenever we have CDs, we're always like half want to keep it to ourselves and half throwing
it at everybody we see. Here, listen to our music.
What are you doing with your legs?
I feel like I've got a jet pack on.
It's like one of those things when you put your arms through someone else and then they do-
It's like a roller coaster.
I haven't got a harness!
But obviously, you've gone from being self-confessed normal guys, like everyone's friend when you
go to the pub for a pint and now you're in recording studios and you're doing music.
How does that feel?
A dream.
I've not been to the pub in ages. But, no, it's amazing.
And when you chat to pop stars usually, they say that making an album is a really good
way of expressing yourself and talking about things that you've been through. They say
it's a bit like therapy. Did you feel like that?
No, we express ourselves every day.
Through vine or-
In our genre, obviously musical theatre, you tell a story through song anyway so we kinda
get that emotion across.
That's exactly it, we express ourselves through song but we pick the songs carefully. I think
there's a degree of- There's something truthful about musical about theatre. Sorry.
Did you mean to nudge me with your knee?
I was just basically saying shut up, shut up, shut up.
I'm Mr. Perfect.
Stop your smirky laughing down on the floor.
I wasn't,. I'm smiling like-
Remember your place.
Yeah, you're in the throne in the centre there.
Now, I'm gonna move you on to what's always the most insane part of any interview, it's
your fans' questions from twitter.
-Yay! -Yay!
Yay, fan questions.
First of all, oh this could be naughty. What are each of your guilty pleasures? Says @HollyEverest.
Malteasers.
Nandos.
Is that guilty though? I think that's alright.
It is when you eat as much as I do.
Pokemon, I've really got into Pokemon recently and I feel really bad for it. I feel like
such a nerd.
I wear that proudly.
I really like nice soap.
Do you?
No, honestly, I like posh soaps that you can have on show.
Oh, showing off with soap.
- But never used. - Not using them.
Do you mean the ones you steal from hotel rooms?
I do have a thing about taking soap from hotel rooms.
I do that too.
I don't know if it's a guilty pleasure, but I've had pizza for three nights in a row now.
Just because I can.
This one from Mrs Collabro, I don't know how that marriage works.
Awh, I like that.
She says what did you want to do when you're little?
I wanted to be a marine biologist.
I wanted to eat crayons.
I wanted to be a paleontologist.
Like Ross from Friends?
Yeah.
I wanted to be a fireman. I used to watch Fireman Sam.
Power Ranger.
Power Ranger?
LouiseM103, my question is how would you celebrate if Stars went to number one?
- Ooh! - Oh!
We just talked about this.
- Did we? - We're all gonna get a tattoo.
You were there, you were there.
We're not sure if it's gonna be matching or individual yet.
No no, no matching.
Matt's is a cool idea.
Yeah, I wanna get a star with the date of the album release in it.
I wanna get my own face on my hip.
@_collaborator_x says what was your favourite song to record for the album?
I really enjoyed recording With You.
You stole mine!
Sorry.
Mine's With You as well.
I'm sure we can like the same one.
I feel like it's with me, it's great.
I love recording with you.
It's so emotional.
I liked it to, it was great.
Mine was Anthem from Chess.
I really remember Come What May.
Remember it? I'm glad you remember it.
Well, just sticks in my mind. Sticks in my mind.
I really enjoyed Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
Awwh, that was nice.
Som1good says which country would you most like to visit and why?
USA! USA!
- And why? - And why?
And why?
Well, that was the answer as well. USA because USA.
- Yeah, exactly. - Yeah.
Oh, okay. I wanna go to Iceland at Christmas time.
IcePam says in a song, how do you decide who sings which bit? I imagine wrestling.
Well we-
Naked.
No, I made that bit up.
Mud wrestling.
We must try stuff out and if somebody sounds better on a certain part than someone else,
we give it out that way. It's very decromatic. Diplomatic.
We suit different parts of different songs so it sort of always naturally divides anyway,
to be honest. But what's nice about this band is that everyone can sing. So when we do divvy
it up, it tends to just work.
Your on an island, your starting society from afresh, what are your founding rules for your
new society?
The first rule? Don't eat each other.
No Nintendos.
No money, just exchange, like-
No war.
I was just about to say that!
Just war did you just say?
No war.
Just drink coconut water.
Just exchange coconuts, that's how you pay for things.
I wanna talk a little bit about Simon Cowell, because whenever I've met him, he hasn't really
been what I've expected. Is he what you expected?
He's lovely.
He's really nice to us.
He's really endorsed the album and he really worked with it as well. We know for a fact
that he was sitting in the Hamptons listening to the album and doing a lot of work on it
and giving notes to people and that's amazing that someone of his caliber would be spending
that much time on it.
Summarise the album via the medium of song. Lovely song.
Oh.
Should we go through it from the start?
Maybe do a line each like that game where you have to carry on the story.
Singing it?
I'll start.
I.
Really.
Love.
The.
Album.
Because.
Oh, we're going round again?
It.
Is.
Super.
Exciting.
Well, there you go then. That's your tag line.
Well that was better than I could have expected. That was great, well done.
