Ever since I posted the video of Keegan, Josh & Connolly rocking out to One Direction on youtube and began tweeting it to the band to see if they would watch it and say a little something to the boys for their 7th birthday (May 9), the Triplet Directioners have gotten just a little attention. But as far as we know, they have not caught the attention of the five most important people...Harry, Louis, Niall, Liam & Zayn!!
The video...@CherylHickeyETC: @Aisling_HkyMom @onedirection OMG my fav video! Love love
Then Cheryl tweeted... @CherylHickeyETC: @Aisling_HkyMom @onedirection Ok do me a fav record our show for your boys tomorrow ok?
And this... @CherylHickeyETC: @Aisling_HkyMom @onedirection we all love the video here
Here's the result of Cheryl's love of KJ&C's video:
The full video is also linked on ET Canada's website under 'Web Exclusives'. Yes, that is Keegan, Joshua & Connolly (bottom right corner) featured on the same page as Kevin Costner, James Franco, Jane Lynch (GLEE) and fellow Canadians Cory Monteith (GLEE) and Kiefer Sutherland!!
Following in ET Canada's footsteps, Global News Calgary got in on the Triplet Directioners love and did a brief segment on the boys on their Friday, April 6th news hour. You can see the story at the 45min 40sec mark of the newscast : Global Calgary News Hour - April 6th
Other than the television coverage, the mum's of two members of One Direction have seen the video. Harry's mum tweeted me to say she thought it was really cute. YAY!! So sweet. She didn't even have to respond. Louis' mum did one better. She tweeted me saying "I'm loving this. I have twins. #multiples", and then she retweeted the video to her 150,000+ followers. How awesome is she, my fellow mum of multiples!! A few days later she tweeted me again to say she was going to ask Louis if he had watched it yet.
At the time of this blog, I don't have any confirmation that the guys from One Direction have seen the video.
At this point, after almost 2000 personal tweets in just two weeks and the many many retweets by Directioners on Twitter, I would like to think it's only a matter of time before One Direction does see the video and say something about it. But when you're competing with millions of Directioners, it's a hefty feat to get One Direction's attention.
Even with celebrities retweeting the video, one going so far as to tweet Ellen DeGeneres telling her she should have KJ&C on her show when One Direction is there (wouldn't that be something!!) , it's not easy to get their attention.
Yet I am still determined to complete this mommy mission.
Just three weeks until Keegan, Joshua & Connolly's 7th birthday...
