Hey all!

This week has been absolutely amazing! Our first single was out in the shops! Yay!

We ended up being the second highest new entry to Take That so it was absolutely overwhelming! We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who bought a copy of our single 'We R One'! You guys have made our dreams come true!

This week our album POP is out and we are so excited! We will be working hard all this week so we will keep you posted on any exciting news and gossip!

Keep smiling all!

Love
Sarah and Sean

Hey all!

Ahhh our single is out NOW! We can't believe it! We went into the shop to buy it today and it was insane! It made it so real seeing a copy on the shelves! We hope that you all you're your copies too and are learning the dance moves from the sleeve! Hehe!

Well we have had the craziest 2 weeks of our lives and we won't be able to mention everything as it would be a 10 page blog! Lol!

But we will fill you in on a few things....

TMI.. We went to the BBC to do TMI and it was so fun! Sam, Mark and Caroline were all amazing! We loved being on the show and found it hilarious when Sam and Mark dressed up superfans and sang us a personally written song! Lol!

Children In Need... We were at the southern Children In Need performing our new song and also 'Breaking Free'! We got to meet Pudsey and overall it was a really great night!

Belfast light switch-on ... We have done loads of light switch-ons the past few weeks but we had to give a special mention to the Belfast crowd! Wow! What a reception! There were 20 thousand people there and they were all incredible... They even joined in on the air punches in 'We R One'! It was a sea of hands in the air and we loved every minute! We can't wait to go back!

GMTV!.... We both have been brought up watching GMTV in the mornings and we loved that we were the special guests this morning! We got to perform 'We R One' and also have a chat with Fiona and Ben and Lorraine Kelly! We never got to go on there when we came out of the X Factor so it was so cool to see the studio and how the programme is made!

It has been the best few weeks ever but very very busy! We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who have sent us good luck and well done messages. We will try to reply to as many of you as we can when we have our next few days off!

Hope you are all well!

Keep smiling!
Love Sarah and Sean xx

Hey all......

It's that time of the week again. We have had such a busy week we couldn't wait to sit down and chill out watching our favourite programme...

Alexandra......
Every week Alexandra never fails to impress, she has been consistent throughout the whole competition. She looked fantastic and sang a note perfect rendition of a beautiful song. We can't help but say what a lovely person she seems to be and we enjoyed her VT going home to see the family.

JLS......
We agreed with the judges that the medley was "dated" but this is not their fault, Louis would have selected that... Baaaaaa

JLS looked very smart in their jackets, different from their usual colour coordinated clothing. (We did spot some sweatshirts in their VT!!) We also liked the 60's dancers in the pink!!

Eoghan......
Eoghan is becoming increasingly more popular with the audience and the judges. He looked extremely cute and gave a good performance. If he was worried about his high notes we have to say he didn't look it, he came across as very confident. We failed to say congratulations on the birth of his new baby sister. (She looked absolutely gorgeous, so were his little brothers!)

Diana......
It was good to see Diana is feeling a lot better, although you could tell just by looking at her that she was not completely well. There was a lot of pressure for her to get up and do well this week because of a lot of negative press. Under these circumstances we thought she did a good job, we hope her former confidence returns next week. We also hope that people realise what tremendous pressure the performers are under the entire time that they are on the show.

Ruth......
Simon described Ruth's performance as "an insane interpretation", he also said he "liked it" and so did we. It was so brave to even contemplate such a huge Robbie number with a massive end note, but it paid off because she is still in the competition. We have to give a mention to the brilliant choreography, it complemented Ruth's performance. How lovely Spain looked in on the VT. It has to be so hard for Ruth being so far away from her family. Also, you can not vote from Spain so Ruth's votes are all coming from the UK. Well done Ruth!!

Rachel......
"Welcome back!" This again is what Simon said and we thought it before he said it !!. Rachel looked great this week and much more comfortable, she sang with attitude and generally did a great performance; we were shocked to see her in the bottom two. The judges made a unanimous decision for Rachel to remain in the competition. It will be intriguing to hear what Rachel sings for "Take That Week"......

Daniel......
Daniel was surrounded by lovely ladies, complete with a mini on the stage, but it failed to save him from getting the axe this week. His rendition of the Tom Jones hit "It's not unusual" was good but someone has to go every week, and this week, unfortunately for Daniel, it was his turn. We wish Daniel all the best for the future......

Next week will be hotting up even more with TAKE THAT week. And yes...... We will be back on that very same stage performing our brand new single WE R ONE!!!!!!!!!
Bye............BYE............!!

Love,
Sean and Sarah x

Hey all!

Wow what a few days we have had!

On Sunday our first single 'We R One' was played on Radio 1 for the first time! It was so weird hearing ourselves on the station that we always listen to! It was one of our proudest moments yet, and the feedback that we got was immense!

Then on Monday we had a brilliant day! It was really manic as we are working so hard on promotion at the moment but we loved it! We did a performance in a school in the morning and then we headed to an interview for Channel 5 in the afternoon!

Then came the big one! In the evening we had our launch party! It was great to meet loads of people and it was amazing for our album to be heard by the public for the first time! It was at Ed's Diner in London and had a real American feel! We all had milkshakes and burgers and then we had singing and dancing competitions! Also there was Same Difference things everywhere like balloons, badges, posters etc etc! It was sooo fun meeting everyone and we went away buzzing!

Today we recorded 2 TV shows for Smash Hits and 4Music! It was wicked having our own shows and saying how we felt! Make sure you watch out for..... 'Same Difference Cheesy Pop Countdown' and 'Same Difference Singalong-a-Christmas' coming to a TV screen near you very soon!

Well we best be off now! Thanks for reading! Less than 2 weeks until our single release now! Yay!

Keep smiling!

Love

Hey everyone!

Phew... We have finally got 2 mins to sit down and write to you lovely people! It has been the most hectic week ever!

On Saturday we headed to Cardiff for the fireworks display! It was pouring down rain when we arrived and we thought it would be a washout but there were thousands of people there and they were a great crowd! We love that we get to travel the country and meet everyone!

Then on Monday we went to the Stephen Freeman Primary School in Oxford to perform to the winners of a competition! The children had put out banners and cards all over the school for our arrival and we were so excited! It was amazing! Then we headed off to do some press interviews in London so make sure you buy lots of magazines this month so you get to see us (or even better... flick through them all and buy the ones we are in! Hehe!)

On Tuesday it was my (Sarah) birthday! Thank you to everyone who sent me cards and pressies and birthday messages! I had a lovely day with my family and friends and got some wicked pressies - some cool clothes, chocolates, jewellery and a personalised photo album with cute captions! I was a really lucky birthday girl!

Last night we performed at the Portsmouth firework display! It was lovely to be home and the crowd that came out to see us was immense! There were children waving their sparklers and adults clapping along! It was a real happy family occasion!

Anyway we are heading to Leeds today to visit a children's hospital and then to switch on the Leeds Christmas lights so we best be off!

Hope you are all loving the firework season!

Hey all!

We have had such a cool week promoting our album and single! On Monday we went on to a local television station and were interviewed by one of the interviewers that we grew up watching! We also went into loads of radio stations to do interviews and had our songs played live on air!

Then on Friday we flew to Northern Ireland to do a gig in Newry! It was freezing cold there and it had snowed the day before but people came out in their droves to see us! There were 11,000 people and they went absolutely crazy!

We also got everyone to pre order our single on their mobiles... (you can do it too by texting 'ONE' to 78789!) It was amazing seeing everyone getting their mobiles out to order our debut single! We were absolutely buzzing when we came off stage! Then when we came off we did loads of interviews and met some lovely people backstage at a signing!

Rhydian also did the gig with us and it was great seeing him again! We have really missed the whole X Factor vibe and it was amazing to catch up!

This week we have got loads of performances and we hope to see all of you there! Make sure that you look at our website to see dates and times!

Anyway we best be off now! Hope that you are really well!

Love Sarah and Sean xx

Hey all

We have had a mad week this week doing our regional radio tour! It means we have been travelling all over the country to all the radio stations promoting our brand new album and single!

On Tuesday we headed to Scotland and although it was a little cold we had a great day! The interviews went really well but there was one where I (Sarah) got really embarrassed because the interviewer asked me on a date in the middle of the interview! I didn't know what to say and got all shy... I am not used to that sort of attention! Hehe!

Then on Tuesday we headed down country to the north! It was so weird hearing our songs go out live on the radio but it made us really happy!

We have been playing games at some stations... one of our favorites was naming as many types of fish as we could in 1 min! We were useless at it so we decided to make up our own types... including blue fish, pink fish, happy fish, special fish, friendly fish and funky fish! We ended up winning the contest! Woohoo!

We went to the xmas lights switch on in Manchester last night and it was crazy! We were really nervous because it was the first time that we had performed our new single and songs from the album! The songs went down really well though and it was a major relief! We also got to catch up with our good friends George Sampson and Strike and also met Fizz and Chesney from Corrie! They were so sweet to us!

Then today we have performed in a school in Nottingham in conjunction with the Save Water Save Money campaign! The kids were brilliant and were clapping and singing along! They were also the first people to learn the WE ARE ONE dance! It was so surreal seeing them doing our dance moves!

Yay!

Anyway we have to go now as we are still on the road and have more interviews to do!

We hope that you are all happy!
Love Sarah and Sean xxx

Hello There!

We have landed safely back in the UK and although we are a little jet lagged we had the best time ever!!!

We filmed our video on Friday and it was sooo much fun. It was filmed in a car lot in LA and it was 95 degrees in the shade!! Sooooo hot!! When we arrived on set we couldn’t believe our eyes. There were loads of people there all for us! We had our own posh "Star Trailer" for the day where we could hang out, although there wasn’t much time for chilling!!!

We did loads of takes of the dance routine (that will be on here soon so you can all learn it!!) and lots of other shots to make the video the best it can be!! We can’t wait to see the finished article now!!

We would like to say a massive thank you to the director Nigel Dick (who also directed the video for '(Hit Me Baby) One More Time' by Britney and 'Wonderwall' for Oasis!) and all of his staff for making it such an amazing day for us!! It was probably the highlight of our year so far!
Also we would like to say a huuuge thank you to our dancers on the day who were absolutely amazing and had so much energy!

Sadly our trip to LA had to end and now we are back in the UK... but it isn’t all bad... we have just started our radio tour in Scotland and therefore will be on a radio near you soon!

We have loads of gigs coming up over the next month so make sure you check out where we will be in the Gigs section! We hope to see some of you very soon!

In the meantime stay happy!

Love
Sarah and Sean xxx

Just an update to let you know what we have been up to! We have been learning choreography, choosing outfits and having our hair done in preparation! We have also managed to get a lil' bit of a tan! Woohoo!

Last night the most surreal thing ever happened! We were sat having tea in a diner when suddenly our manager said, "Don't look now but someone really famous has just walked in!"

We were both sitting wondering who it was when he walked by! To our amazement it was Matt Lucas from 'Little Britain'!! We couldn't believe it! We decided not to make a scene as he was out with friends, so we just sat there stunned! Then all of a sudden he looked up straight at us and said, "Your Same Difference aren't you? I voted for you every week! Congratulations on your success!"

We couldn't believe it! He then went on to say that he was going to write about us in his blog, so we took the opportunity to get a picture with him!



He was such a legend and so down to earth! We felt so lucky to have met him and came out of the diner over the moon!

Well that's all for now as we are heading to choreography today!

Hope that you are all happy in the lead up to our single and album! Woohoo!

Love

Sarah and Sean xxx

Hey All!!

Yippee... We have landed in LA and we are sooo excited about doing our video shoot this week!!

The flight was really long (11 hours) but we didn't mind because we watched some really cool films. We both watched 'Angus Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging' which was hilarious and I (Sarah) have a new found love for the lead man in it! Hehe!!

We were extremely tired after our flight and were looking forward to an early night when suddenly I (Sean) turned round and in the queue behind us checking in to the same hotel was Martin Freeman who plays 'Tim' in 'The Office' and is in the film 'Love Actually'. I (Sean) am not often star-struck but I am a massive fan of The Office' and I was shaking from head to toe. He was really great though and even posed for a picture with me!! What a legend!!


We are doing the final preparations today for the video and heading straight into choreography tomorrow so make sure you head back soon to see how we got on!!

In the meantime stay happy!!

Love
Sarah and Sean xx

Hello All!!

You will have to wait and see what the video is because we want it to be a surprise but let's just say that is going to be fun, happy, bright and full of life!!! Yippee!!

We have had a bit of change of plan and now the single and album are going to be released at a later date! The single is now going to be on November the 24th and the album is now going to be on the 1st of December!!!! We just hope that we have a brilliant album and single selling Christmas!!

Keep Smiling

Sarah and Sean

PS We want to say a massive well done to our friend Andrew Johnston for his album success!

We're on the radio!!

Hey all!
This week has been so cool! We have been doing photo shoots for Fabulous and Star magazines and they were so fun!

For Star magazine we did a shoot where we were a magician and a magician's assistant! I (Sarah) was so excited because I got to dress up in really glamorous clothes and wear loads of glitter! It was so much fun! We learnt how the magician's box trick works and we felt really privileged because that was something we have wanted to know for years!

Then for Fabulous we did a shoot at home showing our rooms and our belongings! Make sure that you keep an eye out for the shoots in the magazines in the next few weeks!

Also we heard our song on the radio for the first time! We actually screamed and were so excited! It has really hit home now that our single is out soon and how important this month is! We are loving it and can't wait to release now!

Anyway we best be off now! We hope that you are all well! Make sure you keep an eye (and ear) out for our new single!

Keep smiling always

Love
Sarah and Sean

Hey all!

We had an amazing night last night and met the true heroes of Britain at the Pride of Britain Awards! There were so many incredible people there that had really used courage, determination and strength to gain their awards!

I (Sarah) was fighting back tears throughout the whole show as the stories were both inspirational and at times very heart wrenching! One story that stood out to us was how a little boy saved his mother from a knife attack at the age of 5 by jumping on the attackers back to stop him! He was so incredible and his story really hit hard. What a star!

We got to sit with all of the celebs and have a lovely meal and then we went to the party after! I (Sean) met one of my childhood legends 'Bruce Forsyth' and he is so brilliant!

We thought that Russel Brand and James Corden were so funny presenting there awards and we were trying not to laugh as it was such a serious occassion!

Overall we had an emotional and humbling night. To be there with the real stars of Britain really made us think how lucky we are!

Make sure you watch tonight on ITV! You may just spot us! Thank you to all of the people who came down to the red carpet to say hi! It meant the world to us!

Keep smiling always!

Love
Sean and Sarah x

Hey all!

Just a quick blog to let you know that we are going to the 'Pride of Britain Awards' tonight and we are really looking forward to it! We have seen some of the nominations and the people who are up for the awards are truly inspirational and we can't wait to meet them! Every person that has been nominated has done something very special and courageous for their award and we think that it is going to be a really emotional evening!

We are going with our new friend George Sampson and will be sitting with him at the table which will be fun! It will be nice to see some of our friends again!

If anyone would like to come and see us on the red carpet it is at the London Studios and we will be arriving at 6! We hope to see you there!

We hope that you are all well!

Only 1 month and a bit till the single release! Yay!

Stay Happy!

Hello everyone!

We have had a lovely week this week! On Wednesday it was my (Sean) birthday! I had such a wicked day and got some amazing pressys! Sarah got me a nintendo wii and my family bought me all of the games and stuff for it! I have decided that now I am 23 I have to get fit so I have been on the wii fit loads! Its so much fun!

We had a lovely homecooked meal and a cool cake that our mum bought so it was a really special family occasion!

I (Sean) just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who sent me cards, pressys and messages! It was really lovely of you all!

Also this week we have been doing lots of interviews and looking over the pictures deciding which one should be the album cover! They are looking so good so it has been really hard to pick which one is best!

You may already know but our single has now been confirmed!! Yay! It is called "WE ARE ONE" and is out on the 10th of November! We can't wait for you all to hear it soon!

That's all for now, in the meantime have fun exploring the site!
Big smiles

Hey all!

Sorry its taken so long for this blog.. We have had the most manic week ever searching for our Same Difference dancers!

Hundreds of people turned up to audition and we had such a tough decision deciding who would be the best people for the job! We wanted to find people who were happy, enthusiastic and overall brilliant dancers! With the help of our choreographer Priscilla and her assistant Sam we found some wicked people and we can't wait to get into rehearsals now! Yay!

On Saturday we went to the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards! It was so much fun getting dressed up and going on the orange carpet for the press pictures! We love posing for the cameras and it was great meeting all the children that lined the carpet!

We were really nervous about presenting the award for best winner as we are so used to singing on stage rather than speaking! George Sampson won the best winner and we presented him with his Nickelodeon blimp! He really deserved to win his award as he is a great guy and really talented! We had a wicked day and we came away really happy (and covered from head to toe in slime!)!

Then these past few days we have been doing photoshoots for all different magazines and newspapers! The pictures are going to be released near the time of the single and we cannot wait to see them back as we had such fun making them! Yay!

That's all for now! We hope that you are all smiling and happy and looking forward to our single release! Yippee!

Hello there!

We have had a wicked few days!!

On Sunday we had the pleasure of being VIP's at Soccer Aid at Wembley Stadium!! When we arrived we were taken into the Wembley Suite for pre match drinks and hot dogs! It was so weird being there as everywhere you turned there were famous faces!! We were sat in the royal box to watch the game.. next to Mcfly and Holly Willoghby! We got chatting with Mcfly and we talked about the past few weeks since we met them last!! They are such great guys and we thought that Danny played extremely well and should've been 'Man of the match' instead of Craig David!!! It was a really intense match and we were all on the edge of our seats in the last few minutes! In the end the score was 4-3 to England but it was all for a good cause! The crowd went nuts when England lifted the cup and the atmosphere was electric!

After the game we went to the after match party! I (Sarah) have been a massive fan of Gareth Gates ever since he was in Pop Idol... I was sat there, minding my own business, enjoying my night... when.... WOWEE...Gareth Gates Was stood like 2 metres away from me!! I had to actually hold my breath to stop myself from crying (like I did the last time I met him!). Then Brian Mcfadden (who we were talking to at the time!) shouted over to Gareth "Come and meet your biggest fan"! I went bright red and everyone who was sat with us started laughing! He was really lovely and I apologized for the last time I met him and hyperventilated! Then we just chatted about the match and had a picture and he left! It made my life! hehe!!



As you may know I (Sean) am a HUGE fan of Portsmouth F.C. I couldn't believe my eyes when our LEGENDARY manager, Harry Redknapp walked in!!! I started shaking because he is one of my idols!!! I told him how much I appreciate all of the great work that he has done for our club and he said that he was " A massive fan" of ours because his Grandson really likes us!! It really made my night!!



We left Wembley having had an unbelievable night and I (Sean) hope to be successful enough to play next year!!!

The Next morning we were up bright and early to fly to Edinburgh to do a gig at the Heriott-Watt University for their freshers week... It was school disco night so our CHEESETASTIC songs really fitted the bill nicely... All of the crowd were dressed in school uniform and they were all singing along and having a great time... We wish them all the very best of luck at their new university!!

That's all for now... In the meantime please SIGN UP to the fan club for exclusive news and tell all of you're friends too!!

Lots of love

Sean and Sarah

Yes you did read right.. Slime difference! As you can tell we have a very slimey story to tell you today!

We went to do some filming with nickelodeon! We hadn't been told what we were going to do, all we knew was that it would be something fun! So we got picked up in a car and were driven miles into the unknown! An hour later we arrived at an airport landing strip and were given some long white overalls! It soon became apparent that it was going to get messy! We were taken outside and shown our task! It was a competition to see who could keep the most slime in there bucket.... "sounds easy" we thought! But oh no.... We had to hold the bucket of slime while being driven round by a stunt driver! We met Paul Swift the driver and he showed us what he could do! Wow! He was skidding and sliding and turning and twisting... I (Sarah) was petrified at even getting into the car, let alone holding a bucket of slime while doing it!



So filming began and we had to shoot the links before hand, both of us were just in sheer anticipation of what was going to happen! Then came the time to be strapped into the car! I (Sean) was a gentleman and let Sarah go first! Lol! The car ride was hilarious! The bucket of slime was flying everywhere and I (Sarah) was screaming at the top of my voice! It was the scariest thing ever! I (Sean) got more slime in my face than Sarah as she told the driver to do a backwards manoeuvre first! Grrr!

At the end of the day it was time to see who had kept the most slime in the bucket... You will have to tune into the nickelodeon kids choice awards to find out! Overall it was possibly one of the funniest days of our lives and we had a brilliant time!



We are doing some very exciting things over the next few days so make sure you come back soon!

We hope you are all well!

Lots of love and slime!

Hey everybody!

We have a wicked few days and thought that we would share it with you all!

We had a brilliant gig on Sunday in Wiltshire and it was all in aid of Crimestoppers! It was a little bit wet so everyone had to bring out their brollies and wellies but they all seemed to be having an amazing time and were in great spirits! Before we went up for the gig we signed loads of autographs and we even met some people who we had spoken to on the forum! The gig went extremely well and we had a little competition of whose side could be the loudest and my (Sarah) side won! Yippee! Booo (Sean)!

We also saw Jason Donavan as we were leaving and he was really sweet! We hadn't seen him since the X Factor so it was great to catch up!

Then yesterday we went into the studio to record again with Pete Waterman! He is such a legend and we even tried out a really cool version of an old song! We hope that you will get to hear them soon!

We have a really busy few days coming up so we will speak to you all soon! Make sure you SIGN UP to the mailing list to get all of the latest gossip first! And remember get all your friends to EMBRACE THE CHEESE!

Love
Sarah and Sean xx

Hey all you beautiful people!

Summer is over and although we are a little sad it means that we are closer to the release of our single and our album! Woowoo! Every cloud has a silver lining!

We have had the busiest few days ever! Starting on Thursday with an amazing gig in Spa Bridlington, where we performed on the same stage as Sugababes and Sam Beeton! We had never been to Bridlington before and we have to say it was a gorgeous place with lovely people and the reception that they gave us was INCREDIBLE! The screams and cheers raised the roof!

Then straight after, we were into the car and travelled all the way to Skegness to do 2 gigs in Butlins! It was tiring but they gave us a wicked reception like they always do, which makes it all worthwhile!

Then straight after we travelled all the way to Alton towers (that's a lot of driving!). Early the next morning we met our competition winners and got to go on loads of really fun rides! Including Nemisis which goes upside down and loops the loop! It wasn't such a good idea after breakfast but it was really fun! We did 5 gigs throughout the day in the park and signed thousands of autographs! The next day we did exactly the same thing with new competition winners! All of the competition winners were really lovely and we had a wicked weekend!

Thanks for reading folks and we hope that you are enjoying our NEW LOOK website! We love it!

Lots of autumn smiles

Hi All...

It's Same Difference here... It's time for the second installment of our weekly column, Wohoo!! This week's show had a lot of talented people, a few not so talented people and one scary person!

Starting with 80 year old, Cyril Grant... What a LEGEND!! He really proved that you don't have to be young to have the X Factor!! I (Sarah) thought he had the cutest personality and I really enjoyed his performance. I (Sean) laughed out loud when Simon said ironically "I just think he lacks confidence" and Cyril misheard him and said "Thank you".... Great TV!!

Dinner lady, Jennifer Lamb was so sweet to bring the judges some cards and at one point we thought she was gonna give Simon a great big snog... woo woo!!

When Russell Baines unleashed his hand made sculpture of Simon we thought it bared an uncanny resemblance, it even had the trademark high waistline... We're not sure Simon was too impressed though!!

The Life of Colin (The film inspired by the life of Colin Hudgell) is due out around the same time as our album!! We hope he doesn't release a soundtrack too as that would be some seriously tough competition, lol!! He seems like a lovely man but we didn't think he had the X Factor!!

This show had some real contenders to make the Final 12, especially Dianna Vickers who is only 16. She chose a really different song which was kinda random but FANTASTIC!! We loved her version of 'The Blower's Daughter'. We think she really will go far! She looked great and she had a real endearing personality!!

In the music industry we have found that there are a lot of talented people who get overlooked at places like Butlins and Pontins!! They work extremely hard, constantly hoping to get their big break, therefore we are so pleased that 19 year old bluecoat Scott Bruton is getting his chance to shine. We loved his happy outlook on life and we thought he had a decent voice!! Fair play Scott!!

It is the most awful thing when you get poorly on the day of a massive audition but Laura White, 20 needn't have worried, She sounded incredible even with a sore voice!! We thought she had a quirky personality and if she sounds that great when she is ill then she must be out of this world when she is well!! We can't wait to hear more from her!! We reckon she is a real contender this year too along with Dianna!

Last on the show this week was Ariel Burdett, 'The holistic vocal coach'. Woah... She was one scary woman... At one point we thought she was going to attack Cheryl Cole!!! We certainly wouldn't want to be in an argument with her!! We thought it was great how she managed to fit in every vocal style known to mankind into one "Academic construction"
(Also known as a song, lol)

That's all for now until next week....

Love
Sarah and Sean

Hey all!

What a fun few days we have had this weekend! We were part of the Spongebob Square Pants Family Reunion Weekend at Chessington World of Adventures! This meant that we got to play Spongebob-related games and help children win loads of prizes! There was a trivia game, a dressing up game, a 'spongebobbing' game and our personal favourite a 'spongebobaoke' which was a karaoke to the theme tune! We now know the theme tune inside out and back to front although I (Sean) did say that Spongebob "lives in a pineapple under the TREE!" a few times, only to be corrected by the kids! Ha!

Then we got to go on loads of rides with some competition winners who were both really cool and put up with us being over excited about the new rides!! I (Sarah) was nearly sick going on a massive rollercoaster! It was so funny looking back at the picture after with my face looking ill! Ha!

On Sunday we had a wicked gig in Rhyl in Wales! The crowd were absolutely amazing and afterwards there were hundreds of people behind the barriers wanting autographs so we stayed and signed for as many as we could!

Now sadly we have had to remove the Meebo room from our site as meanies have been pretending to be us and therefore have ruined it for everyone! We love being able to talk to everyone and therefore we reply to as many people as we can on the forum under the names Sarah (SD) and Sean (SD)! We do not go on the Meebo room so please leave messages for us on the forum!

That's all for today guys! Hope that you all have your back to school/work stuff ready and that you had the best summer ever! Bring on November and our single and album release! Woo hoo!

Loads of love
Sarah and Sean

Hello there!!!!



Woweee we have had the best few days in the world ever!!!!!



We boarded a plane and flew to LA for our album photo shoot!!! We were so excited to be going to America as we had only been there once when we were children! We had really cool seats on the plane that turned into beds and we had our own personal TV's that had loads of cool movies and games! It was an 11 hour flight but it only seemed a short time because there was so much to do!!



Then when we landed in America there was a massive car with blacked out windows there to pick us up! I (Sarah) kept on trying to get into the driver's seat by mistake as they drive on the other side of the road other there!! Our driver was such a legend and really friendly... we found that most Americans are like that!!



When we arrived at our hotel we couldn't believe our eyes!! It was like the hotels you see in the movies!! So modern and really posh! We arrived into our rooms and they weren't just rooms.... they were SUITES!! Complete with a living room, kitchen, bathrooms and 2 plasma TV's!!! We felt so lucky to be there as we had never been in a hotel like it before!



After a rocky night's sleep (trying to fit into the time zones was the weirdest thing ever!) our photo shoot day had arrived! When we got to the studio we were so overwhelmed that we even had a few tears! We just couldn't believe that there were all of those people there for us!! There were amazing sets for us to have our photos taken in and the photographer was one of the best in the business! It was sooo surreal but such an amazing day! We had loads of cool clothes to wear and Torstan, an American hair and makeup man.... everything was so special for the whole day!



The shoot itself was actually so fun and didn't feel like work at all!! We messed around on set to get some action pictures and also did some posey ones! We can't wait for you all to see them!!



After a looong day we went for dinner in a real American diner!! It looked like something that you would see in Friends and we had amazing Oreo cookie milkshakes! It felt like a dream world!



The next day we did a tour of LA! We won't let you into any secrets as we filmed the whole day so you will have to wait and see the footage on our video blogs but what we can say is that we went to some BRILLIANT places and got a real feel for LA! WE would love to go back!



Then it was time to fly home! It was the most amazing trip ever and we will never ever forget it!!! Make sure you keep looking for the brand new photos and the videos as they will be here soon!!



Well that was a very long blog so we shall leave it there! Hope that you still love the summer and keep joining the forum as we love reading and replying to as many comments as we can!!!



Lots of LA Happiness

Hey All!!

Only us again!! On Thursday when we had such an exciting day visiting the Haribo factory in Pontefract!! When we arrived in the morning we were given special safety shoes, a special white overall with our names on and a very PRETTY hair net! LOL!

Then we went and met the competition winners who got to spend the day looking round with us! They were all happy and upbeat when we gave our morning introduction speech so we knew it was going to be an amazing day!!


The day was split into 3 different sections! There was the factory tour (which was so interesting as we got to see how the sweets are made and all of the massive machines there!!), there was the sweet making (I, Sarah found it really hard to do as the pot was really heavy, I'm such a weakling!!) and then my (Sean) favourite part of the day the SWEET TASTING!! We got to try all of the brand new Haribo sweets and they are the tastiest sweets ever! We can't wait for them to go on sale so we can buy them!!!

Then at the end of the day we had to present the winners' prizes for the person who made the best design and the most enthusiastic on the day! Samantha won the best design with Sour Flowers! Thank you to everyone who entered that competition!


Thanks Haribo!!

Hope that all of you are well and are watching our brand new video blogs!

Hello everyone!

This week has been wicked and things seem to be coming together really nicely for the album! We have been doing gigs all over the country and they have all been brilliant!

Then yesterday was amazing! Firstly we went to film at Nickelodeon and it was so cool to be on set on one of the programmes that we grew up watching! We had an interview with the presenters (who were the nicest people and were very reassuring about going live on tele!) and then we had to sing the theme tune to SpongeBob SquarePants! We decided to add in our very own SpongeBob SquarePants dance for good measure! It was hilarious!

Then we went to the Syco offices and who was there but Britain's Got Talent winner George Sampson? He had just came in to do some interviews but managed to have a quick chat with us! He was really sweet and had been working sooo hard! We also met his mum who was really lovely! We are hoping to go and see him soon in Into The Hoods!

Then we went to a clothes fitting to try on all of our new clothes for the photo shoot and it was the most exciting thing ever! Faye and Mags our stylists had been out looking for clothes and have picked some AMAZING stuff! We can't wait for you all to see them!

Also (this is random but true) with our first pay check we have bought our grandad 2 pygmy goats and yesterday we got to bring them home! They are the cutest ever and grandad has made them a lovely home and they have the run of the garden! We are so excited to have new pets and have called them Tea and Toast!


We hope you are all well! Hope that your summer is filled with fun, puppies, bubbles and PYGMY goats! Lol!


Lots of love

Hey guys,

We are just sat at the airport on the way back from our gig at Belfast pride and we thought we would let you know how it went! The crowd was absolutely superb and they were even chanting 'we want more, we want more' when we finished! It was amazing! We absolutely love Belfast!

At the gig there were also other acts and we got to hang out with them backstage! We met Strike from Britain's Got Talent (the martial arts guys!) and they were really lovely! Their act is so amazing and they are so talented! I (Sarah) got a quick picture with them as they came off stage with their tops off (woo woo!!) although I did claim it was for my friend! Lol! Nikki from Xfactor was there too and obviously we love her as was Rachel who was in the I'd do anything programme! She was great!

After signing lots of autographs and pictures we headed home! All in all a great trip!

Hope that you are all still smiling! Thanx to those who have signed up to the website! A very cool looking one is coming very soon! Yay!

Love

Hello everyone!

Well, what an extra busy week we have had!

We have been at Butlins doing gigs and the crowds have been amazing! We are enjoying ourselves so much and it's really great to be doing loads of performing again after a long stint in the studio recording!

On Saturday we did a gig in Margate! It was the most beautiful day and the gig was on the seafront so we got to really get that summer vibe! It made us even happier than we normally are! Lol!

Then on Sunday it was the big one... Party In The Park in Leeds with Mcfly, Alphabeat, Scouting for Girls, The Script, Sandi Thom and others! It was so weird being backstage with all these celebrities! We spoke to Danny from McFly and he was the nicest guy ever! He gave us some good advice and was really down to earth! We have always loved McFly but we are now even bigger fans after meeting them! Legends!

Our new favourite song is 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved' by The Script! We met them and they were seriously the nicest people and the lead singer made such an effort to chat with us before they went on stage!

It was such a brilliant day and it was a massive dream of ours to play to 75,000 people! When we walked out onto the stage it really took our breath away! I don't think that I have ever been that nervous (Sarah)! Was such an amazing experience! Thank you to all of the people that came and were so supportive!

That's all there is to say about our week, we think, but just to let you know that our sunscreen campaign is now online at bootsfuncare.com! Check it out coz we wanna see everyone doing the heads shoulders knees and toes dance!

We love you all! Our new video blogs are coming soon!

Stay happy

Love,

Sean and Sarah

Hello there everyone!

Just a lil update of the past few days! We have been in the studio doing some more writing! It was a really successful few days in great surroundings, plus we got to play a little bit of tennis and football in our breaks... part of our new get-fit-for-the-video-filming-day campaign! Lol!

On Saturday we did 'my first festival' at Legoland in Windsor! It was our first major outdoor concert and it was wicked! The crowds were really good and we even got them all to say a massive hello on our brand new SD blog cam! Watch out on here for footage coming in the near future! We also got to go around the park and go on some rides! I (Sarah) got really dizzy on one ride because Sean was making it go faster! Was hilarious! But very mean! Ha!

We also love the new caricatures of us on here! They are just like us! Lol!

Take a look at our Facebook and Bebo profiles as well, we would love it if you joined our fanspaces too!

We love you all!

Hey all!

What a fun few days we have had! We have been filming a fun commercial for a high street shop! We went to a house in London to do it and it luckily came out so sunny that we could do it outside! It was really good fun although it was so hot that we were both sweaty! Look out for it on here coming in the next few weeks because we will put a link up for you to see! Then yesterday we went to film XFactor - One Year On! It was so good to be back and to see everyone at the studios - We had such an amazing time on the X Factor and talking about it all really brought it back to us how far we have come!

Then after we went to a hospital in London to visit a Teenage Cancer Trust Unit.


We met some amazing teenagers and we walked out of there really wanting to help this brilliant charity. It is such a positive place for people to be when they are ill and its so important there are more of these units up and down the country.


We have a very busy few weeks coming up so we will keep you informed and hopefully over the summer we will see some of you at some of the places we are going to be performing.

Hope that you are all enjoying the Sun – and wearing sunscreen on the warm days!

Love
Sarah and Sean
