Get ready, cos two of the biggest pop stars in the universe

0:00:020:00:04

are about to go into battle -

0:00:040:00:06

the phenomenal 5 Seconds Of Summer,

0:00:060:00:08

versus the outstanding Paloma Faith.

0:00:080:00:12

There can only be one winner, so stay right here.

0:00:120:00:15

I am Amberley Lobo and this is Pop Slam!

0:00:150:00:18

Going head-to-head we've got...

0:00:340:00:36

# Don't stop

0:00:360:00:38

# Cos you know that I like it... #

0:00:380:00:41

5 Seconds Of Summer, the supercool Aussie heart-throbs

0:00:410:00:44

who have taken over the world with their huge rock tunes.

0:00:440:00:48

# ..Don't stop

0:00:480:00:51

# Doing what you're doin'... #

0:00:510:00:54

But how would they do against the unique...

0:00:540:00:57

# Everything is changing... #

0:00:570:00:59

..Paloma Faith!

0:00:590:01:00

# And I've been here too long... #

0:01:000:01:02

She's got unbelievable style,

0:01:020:01:04

a totally incredible voice,

0:01:040:01:06

and a Brit award for Best Female.

0:01:060:01:09

# ..I...I can't do this any more... #

0:01:090:01:13

So, whose team are you on - Team 5SOS or Team Paloma?

0:01:130:01:18

Can't decide? Well, it's my job to help you out.

0:01:190:01:22

I'm going to be diving into the lives of these megastars

0:01:220:01:25

to see who has what it takes to win the ultimate prize in pop music -

0:01:250:01:28

the Ambo!

0:01:280:01:30

There's only one way to win the Ambo

0:01:310:01:33

and that's by gaining as many of my Ambo points as possible.

0:01:330:01:37

I'll be dishing them out over three slamming rounds of pop-osity...

0:01:380:01:42

..where I meet the people

0:01:430:01:45

who knew the stars back in the day,

0:01:450:01:47

then I check out how hard they've been working,

0:01:470:01:50

and, finally, I scrutinise their style,

0:01:500:01:54

all before the big moment.

0:01:540:01:56

And the winner

0:01:560:01:59

of the Ambo is...

0:01:590:02:01

This is going to be big, so get involved

0:02:010:02:04

and go to the CBBC website

0:02:040:02:06

and tell us whose team you're on.

0:02:060:02:08

I'm on Team 5 Seconds Of Summer because I love them so much

0:02:080:02:11

and I'm going to see them in concert.

0:02:110:02:13

My favourite's definitely Luke.

0:02:130:02:15

Go, Team 5 Seconds Of Summer.

0:02:160:02:19

I want Team Paloma Faith because I just love her music.

0:02:190:02:23

She has got the best voice in the world,

0:02:230:02:25

and I absolutely love her so much.

0:02:250:02:28

And I wish I could be like her.

0:02:280:02:30

But, seriously, who do you think is going to win?

0:02:300:02:32

I mean Paloma is cool, quirky and has an amazing voice,

0:02:320:02:35

and 5SOS are pop punk,

0:02:350:02:36

and they're from Australia -

0:02:360:02:38

what a perfect combination!

0:02:380:02:40

Well, Paloma, 5SOS, you know what we've got to do...

0:02:400:02:43

It's time for Pop Slam!

0:02:430:02:45

Round one - Pop Potential.

0:02:500:02:52

This is all about how our stars made it big.

0:02:520:02:56

First up...

0:02:560:02:57

# Do do-do do do do do-do... #

0:02:570:03:00

..5 Seconds Of Summer.

0:03:000:03:01

These guys are fast becoming one of the biggest pop-rock bands

0:03:030:03:07

the world has ever seen.

0:03:070:03:09

# ..Cos good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught... #

0:03:090:03:13

But before all that,

0:03:130:03:15

they were just four school kids growing up right here...

0:03:150:03:17

in Sydney, Australia!

0:03:170:03:21

# ..I swear she lives in that library... #

0:03:210:03:23

Well, actually, it was here in Riverstone,

0:03:230:03:26

just outside of Sydney.

0:03:260:03:27

It's a quiet place, but it's here that a band formed that

0:03:270:03:30

was about to make a lot of noise.

0:03:300:03:32

So, do you guys actually want to know how 5 Seconds Of Summer

0:03:320:03:35

made it massive?

0:03:350:03:37

Of course you do! Let's do this.

0:03:370:03:40

# ..Not reading books

0:03:400:03:41

# She said to me # "Forget what you thought

0:03:410:03:44

# "Cos good girls are bad girls that haven't been caught..." #

0:03:440:03:47

It all started right here,

0:03:470:03:50

at Norwest Christian College

0:03:500:03:52

where Michael, Luke and Calum went to school.

0:03:520:03:55

# Do do-do do do do do do... #

0:03:550:03:58

The three of them loved music

0:03:580:04:00

and they loved bands like Blink-182 and Green Day,

0:04:000:04:02

so they decided to start a band.

0:04:020:04:04

Probs the best idea in the history of best ideas.

0:04:040:04:07

Whoa...!

0:04:070:04:09

# Well, I don't even like you

0:04:150:04:16

# Why do you want to go and make me feel this way... #

0:04:160:04:20

The band was born.

0:04:210:04:24

And it was Michael who randomly chose the name

0:04:240:04:26

5 Seconds Of Summer.

0:04:260:04:28

# ..Cos I can feel you watching

0:04:280:04:30

# Even when you know that you'll be seen... #

0:04:300:04:34

So, the boys had the name and knew how to play...

0:04:340:04:37

but that was a problem -

0:04:370:04:39

they all played guitars and sang.

0:04:390:04:41

5 Seconds Of Summer needed a drummer.

0:04:410:04:44

Enter local boy Ashton Irwin...

0:04:440:04:47

hashtag love him!

0:04:470:04:48

Oh... No spinning.

0:04:480:04:50

No SPINNING! NOOOOO...!

0:04:500:04:52

The now-complete band started uploading videos of themselves

0:04:530:04:57

onto the internet

0:04:570:04:59

and, not surprisingly, people were loving them, including me.

0:04:590:05:02

I am giving you three Ambo points

0:05:030:05:06

for not wasting any time,

0:05:060:05:07

and getting your music online.

0:05:070:05:09

5SOS were gaining a lot of momentum with their online following,

0:05:090:05:12

and they had a tonne of fans

0:05:120:05:14

who loved what they were uploading.

0:05:140:05:16

But they needed to get out there in the real world,

0:05:160:05:18

so on the 3rd of December, 2011,

0:05:180:05:20

they came right here to the Annandale Hotel in Sydney

0:05:200:05:24

and played their first ever gig as a four-piece band.

0:05:240:05:27

And I get to check it out. So excited.

0:05:270:05:29

BAND PLAYS

0:05:290:05:33

LYRICS INDISTINCT

0:05:330:05:35

This is footage of the boys performing

0:05:390:05:42

at that first gig at the Annandale.

0:05:420:05:45

Oh, yes! This is the very stage where the 5 Seconds Of Summer boys

0:05:450:05:49

performed their very first gig as a band.

0:05:490:05:51

Now, I know it might look pretty small,

0:05:510:05:54

but from here they went on to play

0:05:540:05:55

in some of the biggest venues across the world.

0:05:550:05:58

This was a stomping first performance as a four-piece.

0:06:030:06:07

Two Ambo points coming your way, boys!

0:06:070:06:11

Playing the Annandale was all well and good,

0:06:110:06:14

but the boys wanted more.

0:06:140:06:16

# ..Fine at all

0:06:160:06:17

# I remember the day you told me you were leaving

0:06:170:06:22

# I remember the make-up running down your face... #

0:06:220:06:26

To take it to the next level, they needed help.

0:06:260:06:28

Enter, Adam Wilkinson - their first ever manager.

0:06:280:06:31

He's the guy who made them into a global phenomenon. Huh!

0:06:310:06:35

Wouldn't it be nice if he was here

0:06:350:06:36

in this beautiful spot to chat with me? Shame.

0:06:360:06:41

Jokes! He totally is! I'm so excited.

0:06:410:06:44

# ..Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you...#

0:06:450:06:49

Adam, firstly, thank you so much for bringing us 5SOS.

0:06:490:06:53

But take us back to the beginning. How did it all start?

0:06:530:06:56

I was working in a recording studio at the time

0:06:560:06:58

and the guys came through on a little tour.

0:06:580:07:01

There was just something about them, you know,

0:07:010:07:03

there was this weird nervous energy between them.

0:07:030:07:05

And they had the good looks, they had everything there.

0:07:050:07:08

I hadn't heard their music at that point, but something just clicked.

0:07:080:07:11

Did you have a sort of special sense that you thought these guys

0:07:110:07:15

-could go on to do something amazing.

-Absolutely.

0:07:150:07:17

At that point, I didn't think they'd be as big as they are now,

0:07:170:07:20

but they definitely had it.

0:07:200:07:21

# ..If what we had was real

0:07:210:07:23

# How could you be fine?

0:07:230:07:27

# Cos I'm not fine at all

0:07:270:07:29

# I remember the day you told me you was leaving... #

0:07:290:07:32

So, you were with the guys for two years,

0:07:320:07:34

do you have any fun stories from that time?

0:07:340:07:36

Look, probably my favourite story is on one of our tours,

0:07:360:07:39

I thought, it's probably time for the guys

0:07:390:07:41

to start having their own hotel rooms, so...

0:07:410:07:43

Wait, hold up, were they sharing?

0:07:430:07:45

They were sharing up to that point. They were sharing two in a room.

0:07:450:07:48

I thought it's probably time for them to have their own rooms.

0:07:480:07:50

So we booked the hotel, we checked into the hotel,

0:07:500:07:53

went to check on them about an hour later,

0:07:530:07:55

and they'd put all their beds

0:07:550:07:56

into one room and they were all sharing in the one room together.

0:07:560:07:59

-Aw!

-They all wanted to be together.

0:07:590:08:00

They're really, you know, a great bunch of friends, obviously?

0:08:000:08:03

Absolutely. They're best mates. So...

0:08:030:08:05

# ..If the day I woke up with you right beside me... #

0:08:050:08:10

Say 5 Seconds Of Summer have gone from a small band

0:08:100:08:12

to one of the biggest bands in the world. Are you proud of them?

0:08:120:08:15

Oh, unbelievably so.

0:08:150:08:17

You know, to see them playing to 16 people,

0:08:170:08:19

to the O2 Arena, has just been absolutely unbelievable.

0:08:190:08:22

They're really hard-working guys and really good people,

0:08:220:08:25

you know, and I couldn't be prouder of them.

0:08:250:08:27

# ..The day you told me you were leaving

0:08:270:08:29

# I remember the make-up running down your face... #

0:08:290:08:33

Adam is awesome!

0:08:330:08:35

Boys, have two Ambo points

0:08:350:08:37

for landing a manager to help you get to the top.

0:08:370:08:40

# ..Cos I'm not fine at all. #

0:08:420:08:46

Their fan base was growing and growing,

0:08:460:08:48

but 5SOS were really catapulted into stardom

0:08:480:08:51

when a few of their fans tweeted about them.

0:08:510:08:53

And when I say fans, I'm talking Louis and Niall.

0:08:530:08:56

You know, One Direction.

0:08:560:08:58

SCREAMING

0:08:590:09:01

# Whoo! #

0:09:040:09:05

That's right, those 1D boys loved 5SOS from the beginning

0:09:050:09:10

and when they started talking about them online,

0:09:100:09:13

everyone knew about their awesomeness.

0:09:130:09:16

Have four Ambo points

0:09:160:09:18

for being so good that even One Direction love you.

0:09:180:09:21

# That's what I like about you

0:09:210:09:24

# You hold me tight. #

0:09:240:09:26

Soon the boys would be bigger than they ever could have dreams,

0:09:260:09:30

but more about that later.

0:09:300:09:33

Now, let's head back over to the UK

0:09:330:09:35

to see how Paloma Faith made it massive.

0:09:350:09:38

# She's gone

0:09:380:09:40

# And I'm picking up the pieces... #

0:09:400:09:44

Today, she is one of the UK's most sassy and stylish pop stars.

0:09:440:09:49

But before she hit the big time,

0:09:490:09:51

Paloma Faith was living right here in Stoke Newington, North London.

0:09:510:09:56

# ..In her shadow is it me you see?

0:09:560:09:58

# Cos all that's left is you and I

0:09:580:10:02

# And I'm picking up the pieces she left behind... #

0:10:020:10:08

This is the very street that Paloma grew up on.

0:10:080:10:11

And back then, she didn't even know she could sing.

0:10:110:10:14

This is the story of how a shy schoolgirl

0:10:140:10:16

went on to become one of the biggest characters in pop.

0:10:160:10:20

# Ooh! #

0:10:200:10:24

It's hard to believe, but Paloma was actually really shy at school.

0:10:270:10:31

But all that started to change when at aged seven,

0:10:310:10:35

she got offered a role in a school play

0:10:350:10:37

called Dinosaurs And All That Rubbish.

0:10:370:10:40

And she caught the performance bug big time.

0:10:400:10:43

# The city lead me out one night

0:10:430:10:46

# Through lonely streets and neon light

0:10:460:10:48

# Searching

0:10:480:10:50

# Again... #

0:10:500:10:52

A few years later, Paloma started going to

0:10:520:10:54

the now-closed Islington Green School.

0:10:540:10:57

She loved it there and got amazing grades,

0:10:570:11:00

as well as developing her love for dancing, singing and performing.

0:11:000:11:04

Have three Ambo points

0:11:040:11:06

for overcoming your shyness, Paloma.

0:11:060:11:08

Paloma left school with straight As,

0:11:110:11:14

but she never really knew what she wanted to do.

0:11:140:11:17

She had a bunch of random jobs, an actor, dancer, model,

0:11:170:11:21

magician's assistant, and you'll never believe this,

0:11:210:11:25

she had a job as a ghost on a ghost train.

0:11:250:11:28

Say what?!

0:11:280:11:30

Now, prepare yourselves

0:11:300:11:33

to ride Carnesky's Ghost Train.

0:11:330:11:37

It all sounds a bit too spooky for my liking,

0:11:370:11:40

so I've tracked down Marisa who use of direct Paloma on the ghost train

0:11:400:11:44

to find out more.

0:11:440:11:46

Now, Marisa, I am super jealous,

0:11:460:11:48

cos you got to work with Paloma for two whole years.

0:11:480:11:51

Paint me a picture. What was it like?

0:11:510:11:53

Well, she used to sing as she danced inside the ride.

0:11:530:11:57

She was in this very dark, scary haunted-house ride

0:11:570:12:01

in a beautiful vintage dress with all ghostly doves landing on her.

0:12:010:12:07

And, every so often, you could hear her singing over the soundtrack,

0:12:070:12:11

this beautiful voice coming across.

0:12:110:12:13

# ..And although it was the shortest time

0:12:130:12:16

# I'll never forget it... #

0:12:160:12:18

So were you surprised to see Paloma

0:12:180:12:20

doing all those amazing things that she does now?

0:12:200:12:23

I think we all knew that Paloma was special.

0:12:230:12:26

She's a really normal girl from London,

0:12:260:12:29

she went to a normal school,

0:12:290:12:31

and it was through sheer willpower

0:12:310:12:34

and talent and professionalism

0:12:340:12:37

and commitment that she succeeded.

0:12:370:12:40

# It was best when we left it

0:12:400:12:42

# Now I'll never forget it... #

0:12:420:12:45

We're all very proud of her

0:12:450:12:46

and it's such a joy to have been part of that story.

0:12:460:12:50

All of us are very proud of her.

0:12:500:12:53

That is one random job.

0:12:530:12:55

And I love a bit of randomness!

0:12:550:12:58

Have two Ambo points.

0:12:580:13:00

# ..In this love affair. #

0:13:000:13:04

While Paloma was spooking around the ghost train,

0:13:040:13:08

she developed a kooky fashion sense.

0:13:080:13:10

And it's this that got her noticed by a band

0:13:100:13:12

who were looking for a singer.

0:13:120:13:14

They asked her to join them and she said no.

0:13:140:13:17

I'm kidding, she totally said yes.

0:13:170:13:20

And it was when Paloma was performing with these guys

0:13:200:13:24

that she got spotted by a record label

0:13:240:13:26

and was asked to perform at an industry showcase,

0:13:260:13:30

a very tough crowd to please.

0:13:300:13:32

Paloma had to perform in front of a bigwig from Epic Records.

0:13:320:13:36

I'm a record label bigwig.

0:13:360:13:39

Talk about pressure. It was her chance to impress,

0:13:390:13:43

but it didn't quite go to plan.

0:13:430:13:46

Now, I wasn't there at the time,

0:13:460:13:47

but I imagine it went a little something like this.

0:13:470:13:51

Hi. Hi, everybody. My name is Paloma and this is one of my songs.

0:13:510:13:56

SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

0:13:560:13:58

SHE HITS A HIGH NOTE

0:13:580:14:00

# ..And she's gone and I'm picking up the pieces!

0:14:000:14:04

# I watched you cry But you can't see me...

0:14:040:14:07

# You can't see that I'm the one sitting by your...

0:14:070:14:11

# You can't see that I'm the one standing by your... #

0:14:110:14:15

Look, mate, I'm trying to do my thing. That is well rude.

0:14:150:14:19

Can you please get off your phone and stop texting.

0:14:190:14:22

I'm a record label bigwig, I put my phone down for nobody.

0:14:220:14:26

Righto, well, I'm off, guv'nor.

0:14:260:14:29

And...send.

0:14:310:14:33

Ohh, big time awks.

0:14:330:14:36

Not the best way to make it in showbiz,

0:14:360:14:38

but Paloma did make a big impression,

0:14:380:14:41

and a few months later that very same exec

0:14:410:14:43

gave her a call and offered her a record deal.

0:14:430:14:46

# Go, Paloma! #

0:14:460:14:48

# You left me for another lady. #

0:14:480:14:51

I reckon getting a record deal,

0:14:510:14:53

even after storming out of your own audition,

0:14:530:14:55

deserves three Ambo points.

0:14:550:14:58

Paloma was off the ghost train and on the road to chart success

0:14:580:15:04

and released some killer tracks,

0:15:040:15:05

including this bad boy which slammed into the charts in 2009.

0:15:050:15:10

Have another two Ambo points.

0:15:100:15:13

# ..Her name was New York, New York

0:15:130:15:17

# And she took his heart away... #

0:15:170:15:21

And that brings us to the end of round one.

0:15:210:15:24

Let's check out the scores.

0:15:240:15:27

Ohh, it's close!

0:15:270:15:29

5SOS and Paloma Faith

0:15:290:15:30

have both shown some strong pop potential,

0:15:300:15:33

but the boys just have the edge going into round two.

0:15:330:15:38

We've seen how our stars made it,

0:15:380:15:40

now let's see how hard they've been working.

0:15:400:15:42

It's time for round two.

0:15:420:15:44

Round two, pop success.

0:15:480:15:51

This is all about what our stars

0:15:510:15:53

have been up to to make sure that they stay at the top of the charts.

0:15:530:15:56

First up, 5SOS.

0:15:560:15:59

# Simmer down

0:15:590:16:00

# Simmer down

0:16:000:16:02

# They say we're too young now to amount to anything now... #

0:16:020:16:05

5 Seconds Of Summer

0:16:050:16:07

really put in the hours at the start of their career

0:16:070:16:09

and got very big very quickly.

0:16:090:16:11

# ..She looks so perfect standing there

0:16:110:16:14

# In my American Apparel underwear... #

0:16:140:16:17

When they released She Looks So Perfect in early-2014,

0:16:170:16:21

it got to number one here in Australia.

0:16:210:16:24

And it got to number one right here in New Zealand.

0:16:240:16:27

And, of course, right here in the good old UK.

0:16:270:16:31

In fact, they are only the fourth Australian group ever

0:16:310:16:35

to top the UK singles charts.

0:16:350:16:37

That is an incredibly successful first release.

0:16:400:16:43

Have three Ambo points.

0:16:430:16:45

# I tell myself it don't mean a thing... #

0:16:460:16:50

5SOS aren't the only ones who have enjoyed mega stardom.

0:16:500:16:54

Since being signed, Paloma has had a lot of chart success.

0:16:540:16:58

But she didn't get a number one anywhere until...

0:16:580:17:02

she came here to Australia in early-2014 and released...

0:17:020:17:06

# Only love can hurt like this! #

0:17:060:17:10

And it shot straight to number one.

0:17:100:17:12

What can I say? Us Aussies have good taste. Bonzer!

0:17:120:17:16

# Your kisses burn into my skin... #

0:17:170:17:19

Take two Ambo points for a Aussie number one.

0:17:190:17:22

# Only love can hurt like this! #

0:17:220:17:27

But Paloma didn't give up on her home country.

0:17:270:17:29

Just a few months later, she finally got her first UK number

0:17:290:17:33

one with this killer tune.

0:17:330:17:35

# Everything is changing

0:17:350:17:37

# And I've been here for too long... #

0:17:370:17:40

Have I never three Ambo points for teaming up with Sigma

0:17:400:17:43

and topping the charts back in good old Blighty.

0:17:430:17:47

But Paloma's not the only one who's had some awesome chart success.

0:17:490:17:54

One, two, three, four!

0:17:540:17:56

SCREAMING

0:17:560:17:58

5SOS have been mega successful.

0:17:580:18:01

And with mega success comes a mega fan base.

0:18:010:18:05

Seriously, people go wild for these guys and who could blame them.

0:18:050:18:10

-BOTH:

-5 Seconds Of Summer!

0:18:100:18:12

# Back in high school

0:18:130:18:15

# We used to take it slow... #

0:18:150:18:16

Their fans are really important to the boys,

0:18:180:18:21

so to give a bit back and to say thanks for all the support,

0:18:210:18:24

they launched an event called Derp Con.

0:18:240:18:27

Derp Con! Whoo!

0:18:270:18:29

The boys ran a competition

0:18:320:18:34

where they flew 60 lucky fans and their friends

0:18:340:18:38

to see their gig in LA.

0:18:380:18:39

Not only that, they also put them up in a hotel

0:18:390:18:42

and hung out with them backstage.

0:18:420:18:45

Now, that is an awesome comp.

0:18:450:18:47

-Michael...!

-THEY SOB

0:18:470:18:49

-And he was really...!

-THEY CRY

0:18:490:18:51

Working hard to give back to their fans, I like it!

0:18:510:18:55

Take two Ambo points.

0:18:560:18:59

CHEERING

0:19:000:19:02

But it hasn't all been super fun times for the almighty 5SOS.

0:19:020:19:07

While they were on the road with a little band,

0:19:070:19:09

you might have heard of them, One Direction,

0:19:090:19:11

Calum had a slight wardrobe malfunction.

0:19:110:19:14

I didn't say, I wasn't there,

0:19:140:19:15

but I imagine it went a little something like this.

0:19:150:19:18

"Hey! What's up? My name is Cal! Let's do this!

0:19:180:19:23

"# Don't stop doing what you're doing! # And jump!"

0:19:230:19:27

-CLOTH RIPS

-"Oh, crikey!

0:19:270:19:29

"I've gone and done it, I've split my pants!

0:19:290:19:31

"Bruce! Bruce, we have a rock emergency."

0:19:310:19:35

"Duh! What's up?" "I just need some more tape."

0:19:350:19:37

"Oh, yeah, sure. Sure, yeah. There you go, Cal."

0:19:370:19:40

"More! More!" "Calum, your pants can't take any more tape!"

0:19:400:19:44

"More, Bruce!" "OK." "Thanks, mate." "All right, see ya.

0:19:440:19:48

# Don't stop doing what you're doing... #

0:19:480:19:52

"And jump. And jump."

0:19:520:19:54

That's right, Calum split his pants and had to tape them up

0:19:540:19:57

just so he could keep on rocking. Now, that is what I call dedication.

0:19:570:20:01

Nice one. You can take another Ambo point

0:20:010:20:05

for performing through a wardrobe disaster.

0:20:050:20:08

But what about Paloma's performances?

0:20:080:20:10

Paloma has some awesome songs, awesome videos,

0:20:110:20:15

but not only that, she also has had some pretty awesome performances.

0:20:150:20:19

How awesome? Check this out.

0:20:190:20:21

In summer 2014, Paloma Faith

0:20:260:20:29

was joined at Royal Albert Hall by a 42-piece orchestra.

0:20:290:20:34

# Well, you ask for money

0:20:340:20:36

# It's always something... #

0:20:360:20:39

They performed some special versions of Paloma's songs

0:20:390:20:42

as part of the BBC Proms.

0:20:420:20:44

And I've come to meet the legendary Guy Barker,

0:20:440:20:46

who conducted that very performance.

0:20:460:20:49

Now, Guy, that performance looked magical. What was it like?

0:20:500:20:54

Oh, it was amazing. If you imagine there was about 83 of us on stage

0:20:540:20:58

and 6,000 people in the audience.

0:20:580:21:00

And all 6,000 people were dancing in front of us,

0:21:000:21:03

so it was just an amazing atmosphere.

0:21:030:21:05

# ..Won't you shake me

0:21:050:21:07

# Come on and work this... #

0:21:070:21:09

And what was it like working with her for the Proms?

0:21:090:21:13

Oh, it's great. She's always great to work for.

0:21:130:21:17

She's incredibly creative,

0:21:170:21:19

she's incredibly musical,

0:21:190:21:21

she's a wonderfully talented lady,

0:21:210:21:23

but she's also such a lovely human being.

0:21:230:21:27

And she's got such a great sense of humour,

0:21:270:21:29

it's always a joy working with her.

0:21:290:21:31

# ..Got trouble with my baby

0:21:310:21:33

# Got trouble with my baby. #

0:21:330:21:36

I am going to dish out three Ambo points to Paloma

0:21:360:21:39

for working the pub crowd and the classical lot

0:21:390:21:42

by putting on such an epic performance.

0:21:420:21:45

And that brings us to the end of round two.

0:21:450:21:49

5SOS and Paloma have been working pretty hard,

0:21:500:21:53

but Paloma has just pushed one Ambo point ahead.

0:21:530:21:57

If you don't agree, you know what to do,

0:21:570:21:59

hit the CBBC website and have your say.

0:21:590:22:02

We found out how our pop royalty made it big

0:22:040:22:06

and how successful they've been.

0:22:060:22:08

It's now time to see how glam they've become in round three.

0:22:080:22:13

Round three, pop style.

0:22:170:22:19

This is all about our celebrities' lives.

0:22:190:22:21

Clothes, cars, pets, or whatever else they splash their cash on.

0:22:210:22:25

First up, 5SOS.

0:22:250:22:28

When it comes to fashion, I think the 5SOS boys have nailed it.

0:22:340:22:38

They keep it pretty punky, nice and laid-back

0:22:380:22:40

and love nothing more than rocking out in jeans and a vest.

0:22:400:22:43

# All the things that you read in a magazine

0:22:430:22:46

# I'm not saying I want to be Charlie Sheen... #

0:22:460:22:49

That's some great style, boys.

0:22:490:22:51

Have two Ambo points for one rocked-out look.

0:22:510:22:54

But if we're talking fashion,

0:22:540:22:57

we've got to talk Paloma.

0:22:570:23:00

# I was standing... #

0:23:020:23:04

When it comes to style, let's be honest,

0:23:040:23:07

Paloma really does blow the competition clean out of the water.

0:23:070:23:11

# And they could never tear us apart. #

0:23:130:23:17

Paloma is always dressed up to the nines

0:23:170:23:20

and loves to go all out with her looks.

0:23:200:23:23

She can do quirky, outrageous,

0:23:230:23:26

colourful, vintage, Hollywood,

0:23:260:23:30

and, of course, loves to accessorise with super funky hair and hats.

0:23:300:23:35

Take four Ambo points

0:23:350:23:38

for having some of the best pop style around.

0:23:380:23:41

And while Paloma's got some epic fashion style...

0:23:410:23:44

my Pop Slam! research has shown

0:23:440:23:47

that 5SOS have got some pretty impressive romantic style.

0:23:470:23:52

Those 5 Seconds Of Summer boys might be total pop-punk legends,

0:23:520:23:56

but they also have a sensitive side.

0:23:560:23:59

Hold the phone and listen up,

0:23:590:24:01

cos I'm going to show you exactly what a perfect date

0:24:010:24:04

with Luke from 5SOS would look like.

0:24:040:24:06

And a warning, this information might make you fall in love with him

0:24:060:24:10

more than you already do.

0:24:100:24:11

SCREAMING

0:24:110:24:13

# Whoo! #

0:24:130:24:14

Luke's idea of a perfect date

0:24:140:24:16

-would be hanging out at his favourite Sydney beach.

-Yeah!

0:24:160:24:19

Probably playing some footy.

0:24:200:24:24

HE GROANS

0:24:240:24:25

Having a romantic walk by the sea.

0:24:270:24:28

Telling each other some hilarious stories.

0:24:280:24:31

SHE LAUGHS

0:24:310:24:33

Ow!

0:24:330:24:35

Ow.

0:24:350:24:37

SHE LAUGHS

0:24:390:24:40

And, of course, buildings some sandcastles.

0:24:400:24:44

Coo-ee!

0:24:440:24:45

SHE LAUGHS

0:24:450:24:47

Argh!

0:24:470:24:49

Argh!

0:24:490:24:51

'Then, after hanging on the beach,

0:24:550:24:57

'he brings his lucky date right here

0:24:570:24:59

'to pick up some of his favourite ice cream.'

0:24:590:25:02

Yeah!

0:25:020:25:03

HE SIGHS

0:25:080:25:10

Soz, Luke, the Lobo doesn't share.

0:25:100:25:13

But that is some great romantic style nonetheless.

0:25:130:25:16

Take two Ambo points.

0:25:160:25:19

SCREAMING

0:25:210:25:23

CHEERING

0:25:230:25:25

Paloma has an outrageous style and when she's kicking back at home,

0:25:300:25:35

she also likes to get creative in the kitchen.

0:25:350:25:37

But sometimes her cooking skills don't go down so well.

0:25:370:25:41

She had a massive pop fail

0:25:410:25:43

when she took a lamb dish to Alan Carr's place

0:25:430:25:46

and gave him and Adele, who was also there, food poisoning.

0:25:460:25:49

What?! Awkward!

0:25:490:25:51

# Help me

0:25:510:25:53

# How were you going to do love this way? #

0:25:530:25:55

You can't go around poisoning celebrities.

0:25:550:25:59

I'm taking off an Ambo point for that one.

0:25:590:26:02

# I want to get lost and drive for ever... #

0:26:020:26:04

But 5SOS aren't having any food-based problems.

0:26:040:26:09

# ..Taking the long way home... #

0:26:090:26:12

The boys from 5SOS love nothing more

0:26:120:26:14

than the most Australian food known to man, Vegemite!

0:26:140:26:19

And as an Australian myself, I must say it is awesome.

0:26:190:26:24

Get in my belly!

0:26:240:26:26

Oh, yeah!

0:26:260:26:28

-MUFFLED:

-That's another Ambo...

0:26:300:26:32

Sorry, that's another Ambo point to 5SOS

0:26:320:26:34

for having great Aussie taste.

0:26:340:26:36

And that brings us to the end of round three.

0:26:360:26:39

# We're taking the long way home. #

0:26:390:26:41

Guys, this Pop Slam! has been increds,

0:26:440:26:47

but all good things must come to an end,

0:26:470:26:49

and it's time to get down to business

0:26:490:26:51

and find out who has won the Ambo.

0:26:510:26:53

But after we take a look back at what we've learnt.

0:26:530:26:56

5SOS have gone from a sleepy Sydney suburb

0:26:570:27:01

to being one of the biggest bands in the world.

0:27:010:27:04

But Paloma has done some spectacular performances

0:27:040:27:07

and always looks and sounds totally amazing.

0:27:070:27:11

This Pop Slam! could quite literally go either way.

0:27:110:27:15

Oh, yes. Take a good look. Calum, hands off.

0:27:160:27:20

This could soon be yours.

0:27:200:27:22

It's the moment we've all been waiting for.

0:27:220:27:24

The Ambo points have been counted and independently verified by me.

0:27:240:27:29

And the winner of the Ambo is...

0:27:290:27:32

Oh, no, wait! It's 5SOS!

0:27:390:27:41

Paloma, I am so sorry.

0:27:410:27:42

Guys, congratulations! Let's see some more of you in action.

0:27:420:27:46

# She looks so perfect standing there

0:27:470:27:50

# In my American Apparel underwear

0:27:500:27:53

# And I know now

0:27:530:27:56

# That I'm so down. #

0:27:560:27:59

That Pop Slam! was off the hook!

0:27:590:28:02

Make double sure you tune in next time

0:28:020:28:04

to see more of your favourite pop stars

0:28:040:28:07

battle it out to win the Ambo.
