Talk:Hey, whats up?/@comment-5170103-20141209224207

Hi all! I haven't been here all month... sorry, I've been pretty busy lately, and so I don't have a laptop, I can't come on much. But as I have quick access to my school computer, I may as well be here! I just want to discuss something, it's pretty small and it's been bothering me for quite a while, but as soon as I saw a video, I decided to tell you guys this, at how fustrated I am. It sounds a little cheesy but it's this: 5SOS is clearly copying R5

Before you say anything, yes I am a fan of both bands, although I prefer R5 over 5SOS. Also, this isn't much of a rant, but it does bother me slightly. I do have evidence that I want to clear, but again, this is just my opinion. So this is a similarity comparison, and I'm not sure if any of these are pure coincedences:


 * They both have the number 5 in their names


 * Their fan names are similar: (R5 Family, 5SOS Family)


 * Their genres are both pop-rock


 * They were a band long before they were famous


 * They both had EPs before they were well known (Ready Set Rock and Somewhere New)


 * They both have rythm guitars, bass guitars and drums (although R5 also has a keyboard)


 * There are resemblences between the band members that are somewhat similar (I see them as Ross-Luke, Calum- Rocky, Michael- Riker, Ashton- Ratliff) but of course without Rydel, and this are just my opinion


 * Their debut album colours are both red and white


 * They both have a song about wishing to be older to date an older girl (Wishing I Was 23 and 18)


 * Some of their songs sound similar to each other (Amnesia- One Last Dance, Long Way Home- Ain't No Way We're Goin Home)


 * 5SOS' new video for What I Like About You is so much like the Smile video (although that Smile video isn't the proper one)

And that's all the similarities I found. These may be just pure coincedences, but considering how many there are and the R5 related things were way before 5SOS, I don't know. Can you guys comment your opinions? Thanks guys!
