Europe were kind of the first ones to embrace my music; the kids from around the way would come out to my shows and really enjoy it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was just going more for what I've always been influenced by, European music.
Ireland, Italy and Brazil are the most musical places for me. They're extremely musical cultures and anything you pitch they basically catch.
There are a few countries that, for whatever reason, really enjoy listening to my music.
Europe in general is a great place for me, but specifically Germany has been very good to me. Germans love classical music... Electronic dance music is massive over there, so I'm kind of the marriage between the two.
We didn't really expect to achieve anything outside of the UK, and it just went crazy. It's just crazy that people know our music. We're just humbled by it.
We didn't realize there were that many boy bands until we started touring in Europe. I don't think we were ever affected by it since a lot of the groups in Europe didn't really sing live, but we did and would perform a cappella as well.
My music was typically continental - nothing like, say, The Beatles.
So anyway, I really enjoyed the European audiences.
I did a long concert tour in England and Denmark and Sweden, and I also sang for the Soviet people, one of the finest musical audiences in the world.
I loved Europe so much.
