Hey! I'm so sorry, I misunderstood what I was exactly suppose to be doing. I was under the impression that my project would have to be posted to my blog. Thus, I have presented all of my project, about my favourite British boy band and how became global superstars with the help of the internet. Though now that I have realised what I am expected to do, I have decided that the best thing to do, would be to combine my project and blog together so as to avoid re-doing my project. That is precisely what I'll be doing this whole lesson. Re-vamping my blog, adding more details as to how the band sort of owe their fame and fortune to the internet, as well as blogging my every move. For those who view my blog on a regular basis, simply to read what I've posted, I honestly appreciate it! However, you should, by now, have already realised that this is actually an IT project for my school. I don't so this for fun but I really hope you enjoy flicking through it anyway? It means a lot. Thank you (:

He also cites Presley for his musical beginnings as well as current musical acts like Foster the People, Coldplay and Kings of Leon among his influences. Styles states that The X Factor gave him "a lot more" confidence as a performer and singer. Styles says that he often looks to Coldplay front man Chris Martin for inspiration when performing on stage. Styles also states that The Beatles had a profound influence on him growing up, as his father would play their music. He briefly dated English television presenter Caroline Flack, which caused widespread media controversy over their fifteen-year age gap. He also has been linked to several gorgeous not-so-young celebs but has not confirmed any rumours and therefore still remains single and ready to mingle.
