Former N’Sync band member Lance Bass introduces this dear-God-don’t-let-it-be-real music video for Heart2Heart’s “Facebook Official.” In it, five twinks with anime hair and kitten eyes sing about social media romance with lines like, “I like your status, two thumbs up” and “Girl I don’t wanna play Farmville, I just wanna play for real.”
The video (now viewed over 600,000 times) may be popular with real-life tweens, but the 13-year-old girl inside of us does not approve. Perhaps it’s just a commercial for Mac computers or Facebook or (GASP!) a commercial for Lance Bass’ un-announced career as a boy band manager. Oh no…!

I immediately wanted to tell one of my best friends about this video but then realized i didn’t want to admit i had watched it. Is Heart2Heart a gay boy band or a “straight” boy band? Who wrote this crappy song? Aren’t boy bands supposed to be attractive? Was it really possible for Lance Bass to sink lower in my opinion than he already had? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!!!

“anime hair and kitten eyes” lol

Not a great song, but catchy enough. The 13 year old girl in me finds each one of these guys cuter than the next. Me likey!

I think Lance is trying to see if an all gay group can appeal to the masses. Most of the successful bands have at least one straight member.

I guess it’s mocking the J-Pop stuff…the hairs a little less on point as theirs tho

Like many other opinions, I think this is a prank; it can’t be real- it’s like an SNL skit! Too funny!

Groan.
They managed to include just about every sad cliché of the pathetic “boy band” imaginable.
And seriously? ANY band that uses its name in the lyrics of a song should be drawn and quartered, then hung from the parapets to slowly shrivel and dry in the harsh sun.

The blond kid….the one who looks like Cameron Diaz…I swear I’ve seen him in a gay porn before.

Is this a commercial for Aqua Net?

Boys bands will be back. It’s unfortunate but it’s the nature of pop music. It’s cyclical. When they do return though, it will probably be in a different format than the 90’s/early 2000’s versions, like the one parodied here.

I wonder if the fact the second, backwards “Heart” in their logo looks like “Trash” is intentional?

Sorry, but the hair look, dance movements and clothing are rip off of Korean Boy Bands! Just look at the bands, 2PM or F-Cuz. This video is really bad not to mention the lyrics!

@Joe: I thought the blonde had a not strung out ARRON CARTER look myself. But the whole vid was great. Prank or not it nailed it. And it does look like a long version of a promo for FACEBOOK.

Most definitely a parody of K-Pop male groups.
