Lieblingsschauspieler
Summary:
youtube
Ich war unglaublich müde. Zwei lange Tage voller Interviews und Fotos lagen hinter und ein weiter, ähnlicher Tag vor mir. Aber der neue Film musste schließlich promotet werden. So sehr ich meinen Job auch liebte, diese ganze Pressearbeit war etwas, dass ich nur ungern und nicht mehrere Tage machte. Vor allem alleine. Aber mein Co- Star Tom Holland, würde erst morgen zu mir stoßen. Leichte Nervosität packte mich. Ich konnte noch so berühmt sein: Von einem dezenten Crush auf meinen britischen Kollegen, konnte auch ich nicht freimachen. Leider... Nun stand der letzte Termin des Tages an: Jimmy Kimmel. Ich liebte die Show. Anders als bei anderen Talk Shows fühlte ich mich bei ihm immer gut aufgehoben. Er war einfach jemand, den man mögen, musste. Dennoch änderte das nichts an der Tatsache, dass ich jetzt lieber Zuhause in meinem Bett liegen, eine Serie gucken und einen Eisbecher verputzen würde. Als ich das Go bekam, setzte ich mein strahlendstes Lächeln. Bis vor drei Tagen hatte ich immer angenommen, dass es unmöglich war vom Lächeln einen Muskelkater bekommen konnte. Inzwischen wusste ich, wie falsch ich doch gelegen hatte.
Das Gespräch plätscherte schon eine Weile dahin. Jimmy wollte mit mir über Valentinstag sprechen, doch ich umging das Thema geschickt. Selbst wenn ich mich in einer Beziehung befinden würde, wäre eine Talkshow der letzte Ort, wo ich über sie sprechen würde. Da konnte Jimmy mir auch noch so geschickt Dinge entlocken. Darin war er gut. Genauso gut wie darin war einfach zu lächeln und ihm eine Antwort zu geben, die seine Fragen beantwortete, aber nicht wirklich das war, worauf er hinaus wollte. Ganz anders als Tom, der bekannt für seine Spoiler war. Ihn hätte man vermutlich nicht alleine auf die Presse loslassen. Vermutlich hatte ich deshalb die Ehre. "Okay, wir haben noch ein paar Leute im Publikum, die ein paar Fragen an dich haben, Y/N." Das war nicht geplant gewesen. Zumindest hatte mir niemand etwas davon gesagt. Aber gut. Warum nicht? Mein Blick glitt durch die Menge, aber Jimmy war schneller. Er hatte bereits einen großen, bärtigen Mann in der zweiten Reihe ausgewählt. "Hi!", grüßte der Kerl hektisch ins Mikro atmend. Ich nickte mit einem Lächeln.
"Du hast ja ziemlich viel mit Hunden zusammen gearbeitet. Könntest du mir beschreiben wie Zwergpudel riechen?" Es kostete mich all meine Willenskraft, nicht loszulachen. Das war eine Scherzfrage, oder? Das Publikum lachte, doch er schien es ernst zu meinen und führte seine Frage weiter aus: "Ich glaube ja, dass sie nach einer Mischung aus Huhn und Kartoffeln riechen."
Die nächste Frage war noch unsinniger. Eigentlich war sie gar keine. Man machte mir tausend Komplimente, um dann am Ende festzustellen, dass sie eigentlich für den Gast nach mir gedacht waren. Langsam fühlte ich mich wirklich verarscht und ein ganz klein wenig beleidigt. Irgendetwas führte Jimmy doch im Schilde? Ich versuchte gedanklich noch zu ergründen was der Zirkus hier sollte, da wurde ein Dritter aufgerufen. Kurzer Stille, dann fing die Menge an zu kreischen. Verwundert folgte dem Blick der Leute. Ich musste zweimal hingucken. Es war Tom, der nun das Mirko in den Händen hielt und sich ein Grinsen nicht verkneifen konnte. War er schon die ganze Zeit dagewesen? Im Gegensatz zu ihm hatte ich meine Gesichtszüge komplett unter Kontrolle, auch wenn ich innerlich mit den Augen rollte. Es dauert ein paar Sekunden bis die Menge sich wieder so weit beruhigt hatte, sodass er sprechen konnte. "Ich habe eine Frage!" , erklärte er dann unumwunden und stellte sich mit seinem Vornamen vor. Erneuter Applaus folgte. "Hi, Y/N. Ich habe eine Frage für Ms. Y/N Y/L/N." Ich biss mir unauffällig auf die Lippe. Der Typ machte es mir auch wirklich nicht leicht ernst zu bleiben! Jimmy forderte Tom auf seine Frage zu stellen. Das ließ der sich nicht zweimal sagen. "Also, meine Frage ist: Von allen Schauspielern dieser Welt, wer ist dein Lieblingsschauspieler?" Jetzt entschlüpfte mir doch ein kleines Grinsen. "Alle Schauspieler?", hakte ich nochmal nach, wissend dass er nur seinen Namen hören wollte. "Chris Hemsworth!" Natürlich stellte ihn diese Antwort wenig zufrieden. Seine auf mich fokussierten Augen schrien förmlich 'Willst du mich veraschen'. Er wies den Applaus des Publikums ab. "Sorry, ja das ist cool. Ich mag ihn auch, aber wie wäre es mit einem Schauspieler der Tom heißt? "Tom Cruise!", war meine Antwort. Langsam machte mir dieses Spiel wirklich Spaß. Tom zu ärgern war sowieso das, was ich neben Schlafen, Essen und Drehen am meistens gemacht hatte in den letzten Monaten. Ich war also geübt, aber vor allem kannte ich meinen Gegner gut. Auch heute funktionierte es wieder. Das stand deutlich in seinem Gesicht geschrieben. Wieder setzte er an und spezifizierte seine Frage noch etwas mehr. "Was, wenn sein Nachname mit einem H beginnt. Tom H?" "Hanks!" Auch nicht die von ihm erhoffte Antwort. "Er ist Brite. Tom H. , Britisch" Ich tat so als würde ich kurz darüber nachdenken. "Oh!", machte ich dann und teilte dem Publikum und Tom strahlend den Namen "Tom Hardy" mit, fügte noch hinzu, dass er Venom ganz großartig gespielt hatte. "Jünger!", unterbrach Tom mich. Einen hatte ich noch auf Lager. "Hiddelston!", rief ich lachend aus. In Toms Gesicht lag pure Fassungslosigkeit. Er griff sich dramatisch ans Herz und seufzte. Das würde er mir auf jeden Fall noch heimzahlen! Jimmy bat ihn auf die Bühne zu uns. Mit einem breiten Lächeln ging ich auf ihn zu. Er zog mich kurz in seine Arme und drückte mich:" Hi, Tom H.", flüsterte ich.
Nach der Show, ließ ich mich müde in einen der Sessel im Backstage Bereich fallen. Tom folgte mir. Er legte den Kopf in den Nacken und schaute mich aus seinen halb geschlossenen braunen Augen an: "Jetzt hast du mir nur einen Tag vor Valentinstag das Herz gebrochen!"

The Masked Singer: S12 E2 (Group A Competes In “Footloose Night”)
Tonight is the second round of Group A, and they will be performing songs from the Footloose soundtrack.
As always, I post before watching any unmaskings, so everything you read here are my guesses and not spoilers. (This will be posting less than a half hour after the live airing, but I’m watching the DVR recording on a slight delay and will be posting this just after I finish writing about the last performance.)
Showbird 🦤: A series of gemstones. Reconnected with a former flame. A purple cupcake. Says singing was her “first love”, which seems to indicate she’s known for something other than singing. I’m still not immediately picking up on the voice. The bonus clue: a music box (a reference to Footloose) playing hip hop music. She says she was part of a “Hip Hop Empire” in 1994. I think Ken’s guess of Yvette Nicole Brown (who costarred with both Ken and Joel McHale on Community) is the best guess so far, and Showbird sounds like she could be Yvette. But I’m not 100% sold just yet.
Ship ⛵️: White cowboy boots, a walking boot, was a cheerleader, class president, and prom queen in high school. I don’t know if Scottish school culture has cheerleaders or prom queens; I know a bunch of people online were guessing Annie Lennox, but I still keep getting the vibe that Ship is American, not Scottish. (And Annie is very Scottish, still speaks with a Scottish accent and everything.) Ship plays piano and gets much enjoyment out of it. From the Lilith Fair generation, I can think of three notable singers who primarily play piano: Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, and Paula Cole. (Jewel has already been on the show and won, and her primary instrument is guitar.) The piano’s music stand has a crow or raven on it. A big red heart. The tone still most closely resembles Paula Cole. She’s in her fifties now, but even in her more recent videos she can still hit some somewhat high notes for her age, and she may be singing in her lower register to help preserve her voice. The bonus clue: a locker with pictures of Melissa Etheridge, Whoopi Goldberg, and Kevin Bacon (she’s three degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon).
Woodpecker 🐦: Was a child actor. Rubber duck, a little briefcase, sees herself as a role model. One user on here suggested this could be Marsai Martin from Black-ish, which would fit in with the child actor clue. She has also been a producer during and since her time on Black-ish, becoming the youngest person to executive produce a Hollywood film when she was 13 years old. (Marsai is now 20.) The bonus clue: Kevin Bacon’s shoes from Footloose. She says a former contestant who was a bird character shares her love of shoes. Marsai’s Black-ish co-star Anthony Anderson has previously appeared on The Masked Singer as Rubber Ducky, and there was a rubber duck in her clue package, too! So, I’m going to concur with the user who suggested Marsai Martin.
Buffalos 🦬: I saw some people online suggesting that the Buffalos are the Wayans Brothers, but in their clue package the Buffalos clearly say they “…found each other”. So, I’m pretty sure the Buffalos are not brothers. I’m still thinking it’s Boyz II Men because of the picture of the football player “on bended knee” (and that was the name of one of their number one hits), but let’s see what some more of the clues are. They have a sense of humor and don’t take themselves too seriously. There’s a bottle marked “Poison”, which could also suggest that they could be Bell Biv DeVoe, as “Poison” was their biggest hit. So now I’m stuck between Boyz II Men and Bell Biv DeVoe. The bonus clue: a tractor reading “Mo-town”. Looking at both bands, New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe (which is a spin-off group from New Edition) were never signed to Motown Records itself. (They have worked with MCA, which is under the same UMG corporate umbrella as Motown Records, but that’s not the same as being signed to the label itself.) However, Boyz II Men were signed to Motown Records, and their debut single was “Motownphilly”, which has since become a very popular song from 1990s R&B (as were a lot of Boyz II Men’s singles from that decade). With that said, I’m sticking with Boyz II Men as my guess.

Währenddessen in der Slowakischen Republik:
Der im letzten Jahr gewählte Premierminister, im Grunde ein Außenseiter, ist der slowakische Trump und nicht ganz beisammen (surpriseee).
Er  umging die EU und verhandelte auf eigene Faust den Kauf von Sputnik, lehnte aber die Option mehr BioNTech zu kaufen ab, weil "wir haben genug Impfstoffe".
Spoiler: Haben sie nicht.
Alles, was die Slowakei  jetzt hat, ist AZ, niemand will es.
Andere Länder schicken auch noch ihren AZ Überschuss um mit dem Impfstoffmangel auszuhelfen, da  bei ihnen AZ auf Eis gelegt ist.
Slowakischer Trump will den Sputnik-Vertrag nicht freigeben, frage mich warum. Die EMA wird Sputnik wahrscheinich nie genehmigen, die slowakische Arzneimittelbehörde kann es für den privaten Gebrauch genehmigen, aber sie vermissen 80 Seiten Dokumentation, Überraschung.
Jetzt will Russland die 200.000 Dosen zurück, weil die Slowakei ihren Ruf beschmutzt haben. Pfff, als ob das überhaupt möglich wäre.
Ich schätze, Heger hat jetzt einen Deal gemacht, es an Ungarn zu verkaufen.

BTS: 3 Reasons Why They Are About to Announce a New Album and 2 Reasons Why a Tour...
The Album
Reason 1 - They've been very vocal about it...
In interviews, they've mentioned music, particularly Korean music, when questioned about the recent English language songs.
Also, they basically told us in BTS In the Soop 2 (Ep. 4) that there is an album coming. Additionally, in the same episode they showed (silently of course, no spoilers here) JK and Suga working on a song for said album.
Reason 2 - They've never not released an album annually...
Since debuting in 2013, they have always released a Mini Album or a Studio Album (excluding repackaged) every year:
2013 - O!RUL8,2?
2014 - Dark & Wild / Skool Luv Affair
2015 - The Most Beautiful Moment in Life, Pt. 1 and Pt. 2
2016 - Wings
2017 - Love Yourself: Her
2018 - Love Yourself: Tear
2019 - Map of the Soul: Persona
2020 - Map of the Soul: 7 / BE
So are they really not going to release an album this year?
Reason 3 - They've just changed US distributors...
So last month they changed distributors, from Sony Music to Universal Music Group. UMG will want to benefit from said deal, and what better way to do than with a new album and lead single.
The Tour
Reason 1 - Everyone in K-Pop is about to go on tour...
Several big K-Pop groups have just announce world tour for 2022, which means things are opening up again in relation to tours. So it makes sense that BTS also goes on tour.
Reason 2 - They've basically been signalling it...
Permission to Dance MV, officially cancelling MTS Tour, the PTD on Stage (particularly in LA), the Jingle Ball, taking a break from Run BTS and the new BTS content... all roads lead to Seoul, Los Angeles, New York, London, France, Germany, etc...
Bonus - They are about to release a new album...
Oh Yeah, and they're about to announce a new album, and usually with a new album you get a
TOUR BABY!!!

about Niall: the solo era
HITS DAILY DOUBLE, SEPTEMBER 2016: ″Niall Horan is indeed inking with Steve Barnett's Capitol following another fierce signing derby… The word from people who’ve heard Niall’s record is that it’s outstanding.”
HITS DAILY DOUBLE, SEPTEMBER 2016: “Coming just after UMG’s A&R meetings in Hampshire, UK, Horan’s release is the first offering from a very important worldwide signing for the company and one of the top records of the meetings, according to many of the attendees.”
AMY WADGE, NOVEMBER 2016: “Niall’s a cracking writer, he’s got a great voice, he’s kind of got a Paul Simon thing going on, so I think there’ll be elements of country within [his album], because that’s what he likes, but at the moment he’s recording, and he’s smashing it, he’s doing so well.”
DON WAS, BLUE NOTE PRESIDENT & RECORD PRODUCER, DECEMBER 2016: "He showed up with a bunch of really great songs he wrote, he sings really well… He was thoroughly professional, humble and sweet. He spent time talking with all the musicians, hung out -- everybody loved him… He's the real deal, man. I'm so impressed with this guy."
CHRIS MARTIN, (COLDPLAY), DECEMBER 2016: “I really honestly feel that everything is a touchstone. Whether it’s Chopin or Niall from One Direction, if it’s good I’ll listen to it, and I’ll love it.”
JOE RAINEY, CAPITOL RECORDS VP PROMOTION, MARCH 2017: “I’m excited for what he’s gonna be creating, because in the few times I’ve met with him, that’s a remarkably talented man.”
GARY TRUST, BILLBOARD CO-DIRECTOR OF CHARTS, MARCH 2017: “Even if This Town is not a number one record at Top 40, it sound like to me, because it’s so intimate, I have a feeling that it’s a lot of people’s favourite song… it seems like it could really hit people on a really deep level.”
GOLF DIGEST, MARCH 2017: “One of the music industry's biggest stars—the first artist to debut at No. 1 on Billboard's Social 50 Chart with his single This Town late last year.”
LINE OF BEST FIT, MAY 2017:  “Niall Horan's new track ‘Slow Hands’ wipes the floor with all the other solo sounds that have emerged since the demise of One Direction. It's one of the year's first proper Song Of The Summer contenders and sees Horan ditch balladeering for slinky riffs and proper raunch. He's shed his squeaky clean onesie and donned a crooner coat, giving us one of the coolest, catchiest choruses of 2017 in the process.”
BILLBOARD, MAY 2017: “Slow Hands doesn’t just put his voice in a bit of a new light, the grittier, funkier tune also presents Horan’s versatility as a solo artist."
ELVIS DURAN, Z100 MORNING SHOW, MAY 2017: “When we saw you, way back at - was it Jingle Ball, in New York City? And of all the people I talked to that night and interviewed, you were the nicest, you were the nicest guy. And I just wanted - I’ve been waiting all these months to say thank you.”
RYAN SEACREST, MAY 2017: “Niall, when he comes in, to me he has the most charisma of all of them… he’s got that, he’s super-nice, and super-normal for being in One Direction and having the solo thing.”
DON HENLEY, MAY 2017: “Niall is a solid guy whose focus is right where it ought to be: on songwriting. He’s got the Irish charm and a healthy, self-effacing sense of humor, which is an essential ­survival tool in this business. I think that Niall will evolve into a resonant, thoughtful voice for his generation.”
DON WAS, MAY 2017: “Niall’s got the stuff… He drove himself to the studio, carried his own guitar, stepped up to the microphone and was great every take. If they do the Desert Trip festival in 50 years, he’ll be headlining.”
STEVE BARNETT, CAPITOL RECORDS CHAIRMAN & CEO, MAY 2017: “The absolute top in terms of professionalism, thoughtfulness, work ethic and appreciating what he’s got. You’d be proud if he was your son.”
SHAWN MENDES, MAY 2017: “I’m pretty nervous in front of other celebrities still, but he’s so calm and chill… We just started jamming out, and it didn’t feel like, ‘Oh, I’ve got to be good in front of him.’ It was complete fun, no ego, like the reason you play music in the first place.”
ELVIS DURAN, MAY 2017: “I’ll never forget this moment, when This Town - when you first released This Town… this was the first time I’d seen you perform solo, and you came out on stage - Madison Square Garden, not a bad room… you came out on stage by yourself, you and your guitar, it was just you, your guitar, and one little light shining on you, in this huge, huge arena, and you sang that song, and I was thinking: this is probably the most pure, wonderful performance we’re going to hear in a long time. I still, I still - look, I get goosebumps. When you sung the song earlier today, it took me back to that performance… you came out and sang that song and I was thinking: this guy is it, that was it, and that was the perfect song to launch with… that song, it speaks volumes about you, because it’s such a gentle, wonderful song.”
ELVIS DURAN, MAY 2017: “You sound so fantastic that no one believes that it’s live, they think we’re playing a track.”
CLARA AMFO, BBC RADIO 1, JUNE 2017: “I’ve been saying to the listeners, I do appreciate the approach you’ve taken with your solo stuff. No shade to the other guys, but you didn’t really make a big fuss, there wasn’t like these big teasers, you just kind of slyly did it, just casual, you were just chilled with it, I rate that.”
TMRW, JUNE 2017: “For a man so adored and so blindingly good at what he does, he’s modest as anything. Except for golf, he knows he’s good at golf.”
TANYA KIM, ENTERTAINMENT NOW, JUNE 2017: “This Town is one of my favourite songs of all time. Ever. In the existence of music. I have to say it’s so beautiful.”
NOTION, JUNE 2017: “Having travelled around Asia and relocated to LA, Niall is more than ready to re-enter the world of pop, and he’s doing it with surprising finesse. When he released his second single, ‘Slow Hands’, at the beginning of May, the world was taken aback. It wasn’t some radical departure from his work in 1D, it was a more mature, nuanced version of that same guitar music meets pop sound they’d come to specialise in, and more importantly it was great.”
SHANIA TWAIN, JULY 2017: “He's really wonderful. He's very organic and natural... He's a sweetheart and we get along really well. We need to write together. I think that would be a really successful, creative time.”
JULIA MICHAELS, JULY 2017:  “He actually told me he was going to cover [Issues] when we did a show together in Minneapolis and I was so flattered, and then when I heard his kind of organic approach to it I was like: oh, this is so magical. Plus, his voice is everything.”
STEVE BRAUNIAS, SPINOFF, JULY 2017: “Is Niall the best solo artist to come out of One Direction? Yes, yes he is... Life after 1D has seen Harry playing Jesus to the lepers in his head, walking on water in that endless video to his endless ballad, looking all profound and troubled and beautiful. ZZZZZZZZZZ! But good old Niall packed up his 1D bag containing a bottle of peroxide remover and got on with the business of making simple, awesome pop. ‘This Town’ was Niall as the sensitive singer-songwriter picking on his guitar. Follow-up ‘Slow Hands’ is Niall laying down a sexy falsetto to a sexy lyric, although it does include the weird line, “like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry”. There’s a raunchy version on Ellen featuring a cat on wah-wah guitar, and the one on One Love Manchester is even better – it shows Niall in his element, a  relaxed cat in a hat, in total control of his art. If it wasn’t for ‘Bad Liar’, this would have been the best song of 2017 so far.”
RAISA BRUNER, TIME MAGAZINE, SEPTEMBER 2017: “For a small country, Ireland is on a roll lately bringing out talented, moody male solo artists. First there was Hozier. Then there was the grown-up Niall Horan.”
DAVE FAWBERT, SHORTLIST, OCTOBER 2017:  “Niall, all round top lad who, in every single interview that I’ve read, has never failed to come across as anything other than a nice bloke. Having somewhat been in the shadow of Harry and Zayn in the band, his solo career has seen him move from unfancied outsider to the man most likely to be the biggest of all of them. ‘This Town’? Delicate, beautiful track. ‘Slow Hands’? Legit brilliant song. And the rest of Flicker, his debut album? Genuinely really really good.”
ZOE GILLESPIE, CAPITOL RECORDS SENIOR MANAGER, DIGITAL MARKETING, OCTOBER 2017: “talent hard work integrity respect patience hard work talent.”
CHARLES KELLEY, (LADY ANTEBELLUM), NOVEMBER 2017: “I think I may have to head up the Niall Horan fan club after tonight! Killed it at the Ryman... One of the best concerts I’ve seen in a long time, Niall Horan. Thank god for good musicians in this world.”
DAVE FAWBERT, SHORTLIST, DECEMBER 2017: “[Slow Hands] is an absolutely bloody brilliant song. Great groove, great chorus, an absolute giant earworm and no mistaking. And the rest of the album’s great too.”
KATIE LOUISE SMITH, POPBUZZ, DECEMBER 2017: [Flicker] is fucking brilliant and dare I say it, the BEST One Direction solo album so far... it was a bold move to dive head first into this ‘not-quite-pop, not-quite-rock, little-bit-country, little-bit-folk’ genre and many wondered if his fans would follow along with him. (Spoiler alert: They did. In their millions.) While you can clearly hear the influences on the album, it doesn’t sound like a who’s who of Niall paying tribute to his favourite bands… it sounds like a Niall Horan album. He’s not trying too hard. It’s cohesive. It feels genuine. It feels authentic. And you know what, it just feels right. ‘Slow Hands’ is without a doubt one of the best songs the year, he puts Ed Sheeran’s penchant for an Irish folk bop to shame on ‘On My Own’. Even his foray into country music with Maren Morris on ‘Seeing Blind’ had the entire population of Nashville inviting the Irish Prince round for Thanksgiving.”
CHRISTOPHER BUSCHER, ARTMAG, DECEMBER 2017: “[Niall] doesn’t waste time trying to be so edgy and so raunchy and just concentrates on making properly good folk-pop music.”
ANDY CUSH, SPIN, DECEMBER 2017:  “No one expected the blonde and boyish Niall Horan to emerge as the breakout artist after the breakup of One Direction last year, not from a band that also included two ridiculously good-looking born stars in Zayn Malik and Harry Styles... but neither has released anything quite as good as “Slow Hands,” Horan’s sexy and soulful second single. He brings convincing grit to a track that bends the industry’s current fetish for the sounds of the ‘70s a little further from Studio 54 and closer to Muscle Shoals, with a simple but swaggering rhythm section and infectious blues guitar line.”
DAN JACKSON, THRILLIST, DECEMBER 2017:  “Who will be the biggest star to emerge from One Direction? It's still too early to say -- post-break-up careers are a marathon, not a race -- but Niall Horan makes a convincing play for the grownup John Mayer zone on "Slow Hands," an acoustic guitar-driven R&B track about his skills as a lover.”
TAYLOR WEATHERBY, BILLBOARD, DECEMBER 2017:  “Bringing out his sexy side with daring lyrics, sultry vocals and a thumping, bluesy guitar hook was definitely worth the risk, as [Slow Hands] landed Horan his first No. 1 Pop Songs hit as a solo artist, and set the scene for his debut LP Flicker to arrive atop the Billboard 200 in October.”
STEVE BARNETT, CAPITOL RECORDS CHAIRMAN & CEO, JANUARY 2018: “We had the support of [Niall’s manager] Richard Griffiths in buying into the idea that we’re going to be three singles deep before we release the album, and he’s going to go around the world three times and try to touch those fans. Niall is really a unique young man, who’s developed a great relationship with the whole company. He’s beloved at this label. There’s a vulnerability and an authenticity about [Niall’s music]. The band’s fans could relate to that. Those transitions [from boy band to solo star] aren’t easy.”
JOHN BIRD, FEBRUARY 2018: “[One Direction] was obviously an incredible experience for him, he got to see the world… I think he really embraced it, you know, his personality allowed him to enjoy it, and yeah, he just seems very, very happy that it all happened. I don’t feel any negativity towards it at all, and like I said, we’re just lucky to get a little part of that experience, you know.”
RON HART, BILLBOARD, APRIL 2018:  "There’s no denying the Knopfler-isms of ‘On the Loose’, perhaps the strongest single off Niall Horan’s thoroughly impressive and organic solo debut Flicker."
LEWIS CAPALDI, JULY 2018:  "I say this in a few interviews, but Niall Horan is the nicest guy I’ve met in music, just the way that he carries himself is ridiculous. He’s just so nice."
JOSEPH BRYANT, OUT & ABOUT NASHVILLE, JULY 2018: “Heartfelt and honest, Horan shows a soft, sentimental side. His maturity as a musician really comes through [on So Long]. Reminiscent of those best parts of John Mayer, Horan is making his mark as the smooth charmer the soft rock/pop genre this generation is lacking. He has a fantastic career ahead of him.”
GERRY MORGAN, 180 DRUMS PODCAST, SEPTEMBER 2018: “The first time I heard one of his tracks I was driving – a car, believe it or not, and it came on the radio – it was called This Town, and I pulled over on the side of the road and I remember listening to it and I went – that is a beautiful song. And I kept on listening and at the end the DJ went, in usual DJ fashion, ‘and that was a little song by Niall Horan’, and I just texted him and said, ’This Town, I didn’t realise that was you, that’s a beautiful song and singing’. And yeah, it was a very innocent – not innocent, that’s the wrong word, there was a very pure and authentic style of writing there that I really loved from a songwriter that kind of really ticked all of the boxes for me. So yeah, I met him, we did a lot of stuff just the two of us, went out and did a lot of shows, a lot of promo runs and such, some studio stuff, and we had a really great time I’d jump at doing [anything with him again…] I was just really super-excited to represent him – I was excited because he was coming from such a pop background, like boy band vocal group pop to becoming a legit singer-songwriter, standing up there fronting his own band, with a guitar and a great voice, and he’s Irish as well, and I was just really proud and excited for people to hear what he was going to come out with – because I knew what he was going to come out with, and it was legit, and I just thought that people – other musicians and friends of mine were dubious because of maybe where he had come from, but I was like – nah, wait until you hear this. And the record has done so well, and I’m super proud of him.”
MUST MUSIC, DECEMBER 2018:  “At the start of this year, Irish singer Niall Horan scored another success with Too Much To Ask, third single from his album Flicker. A remix of this ballad topped the dance club chart, and Niall also charted on Pop & AC radio. Many doubted Niall as a solo artist, but in the end he has proven to be the strongest – commercially speaking – of the members of boy band One Direction.”
RUTHANNE CUNNINGHAM, DEEP DIVING WITH EOGHAN MCDERMOTT PODCAST, MAY 2019:  “I remember when they played me what they had started [Slow Hands], I was like: this is different from the rest of the record, not too far away. I knew it was something good, but I don't think any of us thought it would be number 1 on American radio or anything like that. But Julian was smart, he was like: OK, we have all these songs, but we need that one. And a lot of people have asked me about the production, about the way the vocals sound, and the way the instruments sound, and I really feel like Niall nailed it in the way of just taking that risk, knowing that it was a great sound for him, and not being afraid of that edgier sound, because he had done a lot of more acoustic-folksy stuff for the album. For me, whenever now I see it live and everyone's singing it, I'm like: oh, that's his song. And it's so hard, when you've been in One Direction, you know, you're like, are the fans going to be wanting to hear Best Song Ever or Story of My Life, but they're not, they want to hear Slow Hands. That's what you aim to do when you work with an artist, is to have that moment.”
JULIA MICHAELS, AMERICAN EXPRESS 5 DAY WEEKEND SHOWCASE, MAY 2019:  “This next song [What A Time] I did with an incredibly talented human being from Ireland. He's the most amazing dreamboat of a person and I love him to death."
RUTHANNE CUNNINGHAM, MAY 2019: “I wrote with Niall in February, can I just say the new music is sounding amazing, I got to hear what he’s been doing with Julian and Tobias and stuff, it sounds amazing, and I think we wrote two really great songs... I love the songs that we did.”
THOMAS RHETT, IHEARTRADIO, MAY 2019: “We’ve written a couple of songs together, I wrote with him about a month ago when he was in Nashville. Niall is such a sweet dude. I met Niall through my producer, Julian, I got to meet Niall through him, and it’s such a cool friendship.” 
MAREN MORRIS, ET, JUNE 2019: “Niall and I became such great friends. Our bands became friends on the road last year. I would love to write with him and do something in the future. He's such a great guy. He's a badass."
RUTHANNE CUNNINGHAM, SONGWRITER UNIVERSE, JUNE 2019:  "Niall had such a vision for his album—he knew what he wanted the album to sound like, and he had this book of ideas. So as a writer, it was a dream collaboration because it was so easy for me to fill in the blanks for him. And we’ve been writing together for his next album.”
JULIA MICHAELS, UMUSIC, JUNE 2019: "The first time I heard Niall sing 'we didn't end it like we were supposed to' I remember just breaking down in the studio and he coming out and giving me a hug, the minute he sung it I knew he was perfect for [What A Time] and it had to be him."
CARA CROKE, THE WHISP, JULY 2019:  “We appreciate Niall Horan for more reasons than one. He was the dark horse of One Direction, his solo album was a banger, he’s Irish (duh), and he’s absolutely hilarious on Twitter. Niall isn’t afraid to speak his mind online."
RUTHANNE CUNNINGHAM, JULY 2019: “Niall is one of my faves to write with because he’s very involved; he knows who he is as an artist – and he’s Irish, so we always have a laugh as well. It never feels like work when I’m writing with him."
JULIA MICHAELS, LADY GANG PODCAST, JULY 2019: “Niall's one of my best friends... we have such similar personalities, we're super stupid and goofy. If I had to be stranded on a desert island with someone, I'd want it to be someone I could be super silly with.”
BEATA MURPHY (KIIS FM ASSISTANT PROGRAMMING DIRECTOR & MUISCDIRECTOR) & CONNOR HATCHEY (IHEARTRADIO LA DIGITAL PRODUCER), ADD THIS PODCAST, JULY 2019: “'You know who might be in the studio that we'll hear stuff from soon? Niall.' 'Really? Oh, awesome! He was the 1D member that I— it wasn't that I didn't think he was going to put out music, but he seemed perfectly fine golfing & just chillin after they split. But then he ended up putting out This Town which was an amazing song and following it up with Flicker —and he's been like the most successful— ahaha yes! out of all of them. It's not that no one expected it— it's just that everyone put all their eggs into the Harry basket.’”

[Tutorial] [Intermediate] Recreate Need For Speed Carbon’s Autosculpt in Unreal Engine 4 and Blender using Shape Keys and Morph Targets
Before following this tutorial, please note that this is not a step-by-step tutorial and it assumes you have some familiarity with Unreal Engine and Blender or a similar 3D package. If you’re a complete beginner Tesla Dev has a good video tutorial on Morph Targets ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0Jlu3mI6v0 )
Intro: When I first played Need for Speed Carbon I was amazed by the Autosculpt system and wanted to know how they’ve done it. While I didn’t find out at the time, while playing with Morph Targets in Unreal Engine recently, I figured they could be used to recreate a system similar to Autosculpt.
For those who haven’t played the game, Autosculpt was a feature that allowed you to do fine visual tweaks on different car parts such as wheels, bumpers, spoilers, side skirts, etc by adjusting a few sliders. These adjustments allowed you to vary several properties such as size, position, rotation, pulling on various groups of vertices to achieve numerous unique variations of a car part. 
Here’s what we’re going to achieve:
Tumblr media
Part 1 - Blender First of all we have to prepare the mesh. I’ll be using Blender for this but the following is achievable in most 3D packages such as 3DS Max and Maya. You can also make this in Unity instead of Unreal Engine.
The key feature in Blender which will help us achieve our goal is called Shape Keys. Shape Keys allow you to define several variations of a mesh and smoothly blend between them.
We start with a fairly simple car rim and tyre as one mesh with the modifier stack collapsed. This is needed due to Shape Keys not working with modifiers. So if you built your rim using the Array modifier you’ll unfortunately have to apply it to continue.
It’s important to keep your topology as simple as you can, avoiding any unnecessary topology such as no loops on the spokes like below. You’ll see why in a moment.
Important! Before you go any further make sure your mesh’s scale is applied as it will cause issues if not. To do this select your mesh, press Ctrl + A and select Scale.
Tumblr media
Now go to the Data tab in the Properties panel and under Shape Keys click the “plus” icon to add a new shape key. This will add your Basis Key which defines the base shape of your mesh. Then click once more to add a new key, double-click it’s name to rename it and call it Split, followed by setting it’s Value slider to 1. 
Tumblr media
Now press Tab to go into Edit Mode and tweak your mesh to look similar to below. After you’re finished exit Edit Mode.
Note: This is where not having an edge loop on the spoke helps as you can bend it out of place by just moving the top vertices retaining its overall shape. This is a bit tedious and while it might be tempting to use the Array modifier to model just one spoke of the rim and duplicate everything it is unfortunately not possible due to the incompatibility of Shape Keys with the Array modifier.
Tumblr media
After modifying your mesh like above you can drag the Split slider and see how your mesh blends nicely between the 2 variations.
Tumblr media
Now you can move the slider to 0 and click on “plus” to add another Shape Key. 
The process from here is the same:
1. Add Shape Key 2. Set the value to maximum 3. Enter Edit Mode > Modify your mesh to represent the maximum deformation for that Shape Key 4. Exit Edit Mode and play with the new Shape Key to check if you’re happy
I’ll quickly demonstrate all my Shape Keys and let you to either try and do the same or come up with your own.
Width - modifies the top width of the spokes
Tumblr media
Poke - pokes the centre of the rim in
Tumblr media
Offset - moves the entire spoke assembly in and out (deep dish style)
Tumblr media
Twist - rotates the centre of the rim only
Tumblr media
Radius - changes the radius of the rim (hint: use Proportional Editing to make this)
Tumblr media
Tire - changes the tire width (if you want fat Lambo tires)
Tumblr media
All that’s left to do in Blender now is to export this as a .fbx file and import into UE4. So go to File > Export > FBX and use the below settings.
Tumblr media
This is for the Blender part now let’s jump to Unreal. Part 2 - Unreal
In Unreal the feature that allows us to use the Shape Keys we created is called Morph Target. These are a property of Skeletal Meshes so we’ll have to import our wheel like one.
In a project of your choice import the .fbx you exported earlier and match the settings underlined in red. You can leave everything else as default.
Tumblr media
After you’ve done the settings press Import and double click your rim in the Content Browser. Go to the Mesh tab and your Shape Keys/Morph Targets are on the right. You can now adjust these as you did in Blender and combine them to achieve rather unique variations of your mesh. 
As a bonus UE4 allows you to move the slider negatively down to -1 so you can get the opposite result to the original intent of your shape key. This might end in some interesting or just outright funny results!
Tumblr media
To adjust these sliders within a game, use the Set Morph Target node in Blueprint which you can drive using a UMG slider or whatever else you prefer.
Tumblr media
Challenge: Try and use the above techniques to tweak another car part! Did you know?: You can use these techniques to also make customisable doors, windows, stairs and many other things. 
Hope this was helpful and if you have any questions send me a message and I’ll try to answer.

Captain Marvel
Sonntag Abend war ich das erste mal dieses Jahr im Kino und habe mir Captain Marvel angeschaut.
Ich hatte mir diesmal keinen einzigen Trailer geschaut und auch keine Ausführliche Kritik gelesen, sondern nur das jeweilige Fazit.
Erst letzten Montag, kam ein Fernsehinterview mit der Hauptdarstellerin, normalerweise ist mir das ja egal, aber als sie das Interview damit eröffnete, dass sie ebenfalls introvertiert sei und nicht gerne im Mittelpunkt stehe, wurde ich aufmerksam. Das gab Sympathie Punkte für die Hauptdarstellerin.
Nun musste ich den Film ja fast anschauen, was ich sowieso gemacht hätte
Mit ca. 30+ Leuten war der Saal zwar nicht voll, aber das ist ja nicht schlimm.
Zum Tode Stan Lees wurde der Marvel Vorspann abgeändert und die Superhelden durch Bilder von Stan Lee’s Cameos ersetzt.
Nun zum Film.
Ich war zunächst überrascht, dass die Heldin an Gedächtnis Verlust litt und nur Bruchstücke an Erinnerungen hatte, und ihr Hintergrund erst im Laufe des Films aufgedeckt wurde. Dadurch entstand eine gewisse Neugier, sowie ein Spannungsbogen. So wusste man nicht woher sie ihre Kräfte hatte, noch wie sie auf einen anderen Planeten kam.
Die Rahmenhandlung handelt vom Volk der Kree, denen die Protagonistin angehört und deren Kampf gegen die Gestalt wandelnden Skrull.
Wer sich noch an Guardians of the Galaxy erinnert, wird sich an die Kree erinnern. Der Antagonist aus Teil 1, Ronan der Ankläger, gehörte ebenfalls diesem Volk an. - Dieser hat auch einen kurzen Auftritt.
Nach dem Vers (engl. gespr.), der Rufname der Heldin, nach einem missglückten Einsatz und der Flucht aus einem gegnerischen Raumschiff auf der Erde im Los Angeles des Jahres 1995 landet, trifft sie innerhalb kürzester Zeit auf den S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Nick Fury und dessen neuen Kollegen Phil Coulson, der Frischling. 
Wobei mir die Heldin, etwas zu gut mit der irdischen Technik umging, im Vergleich zu ihrem High-Tech Anzug.
Verfolgt werden sie von den Skrull, die Hinter einer Person aus Vers Erinnerungen her sind. Diese Person soll einen neuen Antrieb entwickelt haben, der Lichtgeschwindigkeitsreisen erlaubt.
Da die Skrull als Invasoren dargestellt werden, die mit dem Antrieb unaufhaltsam die Galaxie erobern würden, will dies die Kree Heldin verhindern.
Gleichzeitig erkennt die Protagonistin, dass sie wohl von der Erde stammen müsse. Foto aufnahmen und bisherige Erinnerungen verknüpfen sich und schalten immer weitere Erinnerungen frei.
Im laufe des Films stellt sich heraus, dass ihr richtige Name Carol DenVers ist , sie tatsächlich von der Erde stammt und Testpilotin bei der AirForce war, die seit einem Absturz vor 6 Jahren als Tod galt.
Im Finale hat außerdem der aus Captain America und Avengers bekannte Tesserakt, wieder seinen Auftritt als Energie Quelle.
Meinung und Kritik
Der Film war sehr unterhaltsam, der Soundtrack war auch sehr gut und fügte sich ähnlich in das Geschehen ein, wie in Guardians of the Galaxy. In einer Kampfszene z.B. läuft auf einem Plattenspieler Nirvana mit Come as you are, mit den Lautsprechern des Kinos natürlich ein super Klang.
Ich hätte nichts dagegen, wenn hier ein äquivalent zum Awesome Mix, verkauft werden würde.
Auch das Gut und Böse nicht so eindeutig sind wie zunächst erzählt, war ein gelungener Kunstgriff, der sich aber erst nach und nach offenbart. 
Als heimlichen Star des Films würde ich die Katze bezeichnen, diese sorgte für die meisten Lacher. Diese sollte einen eigenen Film bekommen.
Skeptisch war ich als die an Hochtechnologie gewohnte Carol Denvers, sehr vertraut mit der damaligen Technik umging. Genauso wie das sie sehr schnell zu Nick Fury vertrauen gefasst hat, obwohl sich beide erst wenige Augenblicke kannten.
Post-Credit-Scenes
Auch diesmal gab es wieder zwei Post Credit Scenes. 
Der Kassierer machte alle die in Captain Marvel gingen darauf aufmerksam, dass man bis ganz zum Schluss sitzen bleiben soll - “Es lohnt sich”
Auf den exakten Inhalt will ich nicht eingehen, - Spoiler Alarm, aber in der ersten geht es um Avengers 4 und in der zweiten wird noch etwas aus dem Film aufgelöst.
