Olly Murs may need to rethink his American campaign

  • April 4, 2012
  • Mikey

Olly Murs is just going to be himself in the hope that his charm and hard work will win over American audiences.

"I’m a long way off getting a Number One in America", he said. "But I'm going to work hard."

Olly is hoping that his indecent crotch will form a crucial element of the US 'campaign'. "Of course the tight trousers are going with me," he told The Sun. "I’m not going to do anything dif­fer­ently. I want to be myself and I like the trousers."

Murs will join One Direction's US tour at the end of May to boost an album launch soon after. The 'Party Rock Anthem' inter­preter is also hopeful 1D can help him after his recent romantic endeav­ours in America failed. "I was chucking the bait out but I wasn't getting anything back," he said.

Crikey.
