I fail to see what Nick Jonas has to do with anything. What difference does it make if both are former boy band members? Now they're two solo artists with absolutely no other dots to connect. Also, Nick is a non-event in the UK where Zayn is based anyway. What does it matter what we "need"? There's room for many as long as the music is good. I agree I just think people are going to interpret it as a ploy. It's too much of a coincidence that Nick Jonas, not a front runner from the JB's (with Joe being the frontman) launches a solo career and shortly after another member that isn't necessarily popular (like Harry) is going to launch a solo career? I just think people will see it as a mimicking ploy since Nick did it so successfully. This has nothing to do with Nick! Nick's a 1.5 hit wonder right now (and only domestically), not some revolutionary first-to-market former boyband member. There have been COUNTLESS members-turned-solo act's to varying degrees of success going back to prior to anyone on Pulse's birth. I hardly think the media is waiting for a Zayn vs. Nick Jonas fury.

Nick Jonas and Zayn Malik are in two completely different leagues and situations. I don't think anyone is going to ignore Zayn because we have Nick, lol.
As for the demo, it sounds incredibly rough so there's no telling what direction that could go in. Probably nothing like what it sounds now, but his sound is a little up in the air. With Simon still more or less pulling the strings, I wouldn't be surprised if we had a few conventional "1D" songs just to keep the fanbase familiar.

I do wish Zayn would take a page out of Joe Jonas' book and write an essay for some high profile magazine (not tabloid) and just explain the whole situation honestly. When Joe did that for New York magazine after the break up it brought the fans closure and everyone just moved on.

I think it was obvious that it was a old 1D demo. I hope Simon has shut Naughty boy down and told him to stop being so messy. I also hope when Zayn gets back from holiday he gets sessions with different producers, he shouldn't tie himself down and be free to try new things musically.

It's been confirmed as a Four reject and not an indication of Zayn's sound. They're also saying he's just ~having fun~ in the studio and him and NaughtyBoy aren't working on anything.
Whatever, It's still on repeat for me.
Cause we are who we are when no one's watching and right from the start you know i got you

PR stunt? This girl makes alot of sense and she's had over 160K views for it! This is her first video and she's made 3 more since. I don't know if I'm totally on board with this theory but she has some good points.

Modest Management and Syco are definitely working overtime and I think this soap opera isn't over yet.

She does make many good points regarding individual publicity stunts (most of which already crossed my mine). She does a great job of tying it altogether, but she lost me when she said Zayn will re-join the group in another two years time. Will the remaining four even be together then?

She has said several times in her other videos that she believes he will rejoin after the 2 month break and be back in June. As for 2 years, they have 2 more albums. One this year and one next. So they would have to sign another contract if they will continue after 2016. I guess it depends on if they want to continue and if their 2 albums/tours to come still sell enough to make another contract worth signing. Billboard actually talked about that in their contract article that came out last week.

The rest of it definitely all sounds like pre-planned publicity stunts to drive 1D, drive Little Mix, and drive Zayn's solo career. There's three bird with one stone from management's perspective from this whole ordeal.

I don't believe at all I will be seeing Zayn in Seattle in July the show I'm going to. But after this tour and album cycle is over, maybe he will come back if they indeed have one final album then a goodbye...maybe. It's just hard to say. The call out of Modest are spectacular though.

The reunion tour with all 5 members will make management YACHTloads of money so I fully expect him to be back in some capacity, even if just for a reunion tour.

A reunion tour seems likely when/if they're all grown men and passed their prime (N Sync's never happened because of JT), but I think the point of speculation right now is more short term.

Tomorrow Zayn will appearing (with Naughty Boy) at the British Asian awards. It's his first professional outing since leaving 1D so I'm sure the spotlight will be all over him. I read he may be getting honored too. He's one of their ambassadors.

^^ Hmmm… I dunno, y'all… Something seems a little fishy here… Nuaghty Boy = Fishy Boy No really... he's using Zayn to essentially get his name out there. He's got his eyes on the prize... and he'd essentially become the UK Timbaland of the 2010's if he "makes" Zayn Malik the solo artist.

I prefer him with longer hair myself, but there's no denying those good looks. Period. Idk if it's just the subconscious solo vibes but he looks like such a MAN now.
Now can someone push that swine Naughty Boy out of every other photo opp please?
