Page 7 | What’s with all the Harry Styles love lately?

He seems to have gained massive popularity and no bad word said against him. What’s the allure? I personally don’t get it.. he’s definitely not my type.

Harry appears to be a fan of the Rolling Stones and has a friend in one of those members (can't remember his name). He's also friends with Chris Martin who he describes as 'zen' and tells him to look after himself.

I went to one Rolling Stones concert - it was amazing. So from that point of view, he has mentors in the industry.

I find it hard to believe that he's under the thumb of controlling managers. He just doesn't strike me as the type.

Keith Richards.
He posed for Harry's make up collection.

Urgh sorry but I cannot STAND him!!

Going against the majority on here clearly, and this is only my opinion, but….!

Music is really not my taste I think it is awful and bland as is he, he tries way, way, way too hard to be or seem ‘edgy’ or different. Makes me cringe every time I see him!! Mick Jagger and David Bowie he is not nor will he ever be!! 😜

I feel the same. I just don't get the love

it doesn't matter how good of a salesperson you are, you can't market something that people don't want/need/like.

If that were true, Tom Morris wouldn't be a billionaire!! 😂😂

Tom Morris owns Home Bargains, by the way.

I really wish that there were people who would advise these young people in the industry. People who've been through all the bullshit.

There's a song Elton John wrote and I only really 'heard' the lyrics recently (there's a difference between listening and hearing). It's so well known, you don't listen sometimes when you've grown up with it. It's this one.

These are the lyrics. They're actually quite damning lyrics when you read them. It has a cheerful tune so I sometimes don't hear some lyrics when I've grown up hearing a song.

I've bolded the lyrics I find most telling. I think Elton was quite young when he wrote it.

When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing
The blues, ah, ah
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah
What do you think you'll do then?
I bet they'll shoot down the plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you
On the ground, ah, ah
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah

Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics and said it was based on his childhood growing up on a farm.

Oh? I thought Elton John wrote it. I was perplexed about toads in England to be fair, but hey, I'm a city girl!

MarshaMelrose · 22/10/2022 18:58

Elton John wrote the music and Taupin the lyrics. Which was true for most of John's early music.
Yeah, you can't see Reg Dwight hunting for horn back toads can you? Unless it was a metaphor.

Lol.
I suspect there are a lot of metaphors in there. 😟 I'm not sure how I came to the conclusion that Mr. John wrote it?

It's an interesting song though. I thought Elton wrote most of his own songs? Maybe that's why I presumed he had written it. Thanks for the correction.

TheVolturi · 22/10/2022 19:08

I don't find him remotely attractive either.

I'll send you a pm to the performance that made me hear the lyrics if you like?
It's quite brilliant.

It's still on YouTube, he absolutely did say it!

PalatineHill · 22/10/2022 21:28

I’m not the best lip reader but that’s an awful lot of syllables for what’s been said in that very short clip with Matt Cardle..

That seems like (whatever year that was) precursor to that incident when Harry Styles supposedly ‘spat’ on Chris Pine’s lap the other day. Just made up internet bollocks basically

JohnsShirt · 22/10/2022 21:56

He absolutely definitely spat on him.
He said himself he'd popped over to Venice to spit on Chris Pine, when he was back in Madison Square Garden.

EddieHowesBlackandWhiteArmy · 22/10/2022 21:56

Matt Cardle confirmed it if I recall correctly.

I hope you don’t really believe this. No wonder newspaper headlines do so well…..

HailAdrian · 22/10/2022 22:14

Extremely overrated imo, especially as an actor.

Oblomov22 · 23/10/2022 00:04

He has been slated by film critics of Policeman, whereas David Dawson was praised.

Ffs, Matt Cardle isn't needed, you can see Harry say it.
He was 16.

EddieHowesBlackandWhiteArmy · 23/10/2022 03:54

Well yes there is that as well. I posted the earlier, I don’t need convincing. I was just helping out the poster who felt he might have whispered ‘mink is too fussy’ or something similar 🤷🏼‍♀️

JohnsShirt · 23/10/2022 04:02

Oh sorry, I misunderstood.
Mink is too fussy did make me laugh though! 😂

NoOnKnows · 23/10/2022 10:27

Hmm, all the people saying that the spitting thing was made up, I literally saw a video showing it happen. Or did Harry pretend to.spit and Chris pine went along with it and pretended to be disgusted? Genuine question, I don't get it? Was it part of promoting a film?

I don't get the adoration. I can't comment on his singing as I've never heard him, but all I read is that he has floppy hair. His clothes seem ordinary to me unless he's at an event or a photoshoot where he puts on a tutu or something. It just seems as try-hard as Gagas meat dress. He's not a great actor either if his,reviews are anything to go by. Wasn't he shagging the director who, now the films been released, he's split from?
But he's very popular so he must have something about him!

One of the luckiest people alive.
If it wasn't for the x factor and simon Cowell you wouldn't have heard of him. Got very lucky like the Spice Girls.
