212 is the area code for Manhattan, unless you got stuck with a 917 or a 646, in which case I feel bad for you. 323 is the area code for parts of Los Angeles, but it’s actually the low-rent version of 310. Anyhow, these two area codes form the base of the hook for “VIP,” which Killian Wells, the bisexual performer, just released his new music video for. It’s about being an A-gay party boy, I think? And he kisses both boys and girls it in, which should attract some interest? Well it sounds like Asher Roth meets Ke$ha, and I’ll listen to it again.

Foursquare should use this for a commercial.

Enh, idk. I like the visuals, nice production values, but the song is kinda so-so. Plus, he’s cute, but he looks a little too wide-eyed + doesn’t really seem to have the swagger to pull off some of the “badass” lyrics (“nobody gonna miss with me”, etc).

OK, um, some ppl looked out of place, and the puke was gross.
And was that Laverne Cox at 3:02 ???
Hate limousine vids, the music was k, and lol he looks like a younger Johnny McGovern but cuter.
EdWoody
Looks like Jonny McGovern in a blond wig.
WTF?
I’d say it’s a big douche bag video (WTF?? He name drops Nelly Furtado?? Who does that?) but I almost think (once I saw the puking) that there may be some sort of self-deprecating ironic sarcasm at play. If so, he didn’t hit that either. Leave that shit to Robbie Williams or someone.

The song isn’t groundbreaking but I could definitely hear it on the radio. Killian doesn’t look like Johnny McGovern at all… more like porn twink Tommy Anders mmm, if he’s as hung he can make me his VIP bitch! And thank god an artist is finally unapologetic about their sexuality, even Adam Lambert hasn’t kissed a guy in a video.

Straight lawl at Queerty……
You coulda researched this better……
The Original Los Angeles Area Code was……wait for it…..
213……..
That split into 213/310….then those split into 213/310/323.
Glad to clear that up for you….
Chris
@WTF?: I agree, enough with the puking!

@Dave1414: lol he didn’t kiss a guy in a video, but he did kinda kiss one in the middle of a live, heavily-watched awards show…
Dave1414
@fredo777: True, I love Adam but I can’t think of anyone mainstream whose ever had a gay kiss in a music video
BTW the still before the video plays shows Killians bulge nicely, maybe he does resemble Tommy Anders in more than just the face hahaha. How long before this guy has a sex tape scandal?

Trashy, ridiculous, annoying, and he looks like a lesbian Jamie Kennedy on meth (assuming Jamie Kennedy isn’t himself a lesbian version of Jamie Kennedy on meth nowadays).
I almost prefer Davey Wavey. Almost.
whatever
The post and responses are filled with names of people I haven’t a clue about. Must be getting old…

Is he guesting on The Arsenio Hall Show? Opening for Color Me Bad? I guess V.I.P. doesn’t mean what it used to.

A shallow pop song relying on shallow pop clichés. And while I can be a fan of gross out moments, the vomiting had no place in the video. The song is about how great his parties are, I don’t consider a party a success if most of the guests leave with Gastritis.
Please wake me when a the no name hack does something original.

cute song and artist! I could see them singing this on Glee.

Not a very memorable song, but not terrible. Ixnay on the puke, por favor !
I dont personally care which area codes my “hos” are in as long as they’re on the same cell carrier — i can’t live without my free mobile-to-mobile minutes !!

323 is low rent? Where? And 310 is LA? Don’t you mean WeHo, Bev Hills and Santa Monica? Those are all Cities of their own.
Let me guess, you wrote this article in less than 5 minutes, didn’t you?

It’s fucking spencer pratt.
Thats all i gotta say.

The song absolutely sucks. Everything else is irrelevant, cute as he is and all.
Lookyloo
Another lame song that wouldn’t get any notice if not for the fact the performer is gay.
JonathanHasHasIt
bad bad video. Straights do not have the market cornered in bad taste and cheesiness.

@EdWoody: who is Johnny McGovern?
Hyhybt
@Justin: Not only that, but there were sound, logical reasons for putting 212 and 213 on opposite ends of the country.
