TS will portray McCartney (possibly)

Eighteen-year-old Thomas Sangste will reportedly play young Paul McCartney in the forthcoming film "Nowhere Boy," about the early life of John Lennon, according to the Daily Mail[1]...He joins castmembers Aaron Johnson (John Lennon), Kristin Scott Thomas (Aunt Mimi), Anne-Marie Duff (Julia) and Josh Bolt (Pete Shotton). The movie is based on a memoir by Lennon's half-sister, Julia Baird.

It was a joke! Do you not get the concept of a joke, or sarcasm possibly?

Did u know that Thomas can play the guitar? Now, he has to learn how to play it with his left hand for this movie.

OMG, I didn't! I thought he just knew how to play the drums. That's SO exciting. I hope we get to hear him sing! I would like pee my pants with joy. I wonder if they're going to make him learn how to play with his left hand, or digitally flip it around, or just leave it as is, and just ignore the fact?

AHH YAY.

Well, like i said, right now he is learning how to play it with his left hand so, i don't think they will digitally flip it.

Haha, so, u haven't heard him sing before or do u just like his singing?

Ah, cool. That must be hard.

I've never heard him sing before, except in "Bobbie's Girl" which doesn't really count 'cuz he was little.

I have a weak spot for actors who sing, lol.

OMG, so i'm guessing u don't watch Phineas and Ferb regularly? Trust me...Ur missing alot when u don't watch Phineas and Ferb !

Thomas sings alittle in Phineas and Ferb. Okay, now i'm not being mean, i mean, i find it really cute but, the truth is.....Thomas can't sing.

The only thing that really bothers me about that, is cuz my sister bugs the heck out of me cuz of it. Shes thinks that it makes Lucas Grabeel better then Thomas .

Anyway, here is the link of Thomas sing alittle bit in Phineas and Ferb

Nah, don't watch it much. I'm not really a fan of cartoons, with a few exceptions.
But when I see it on and there's nothing else, I usually turn it on to try and catch TS's line.

To be fair, I don't think we can really judge his singing ability just on one line. (Specifically a line in a cartoon song where none of the cast were really trying to sing, IMO.)

That sucks about the Lucas Grabeel thing. Thomas is SO better, even if he can't sing. I like Lucas Grabeel from Halloween Town (I don't remember which sequel it was), but I refuse to watch Highschool Musical, so I can't really judge.

Thanks for the youtube link. =)
