I met Nathan Sykes? 12/04/15

Hiya guys,

Another week meant another concert for me (this is the last one until June). This time I went to see Nathan Sykes at the Ruby Lounge in Manchester. Many of you may know him as 1/5 of the band The Wanted, and this was his first tour since going solo.

I got there at 12:00 and met a girl at the venue whom I met online who introduced me to some of her friends she had met. It's weird how fast 7 hours go when you make friends. At every other gig he went out before and we started to worry when he didn't come out but it meant that I could chill near his tour bus with one of the girls I had met and spoke about TW things that I hadn't spoken about for some time. 

I was excited getting inside because I was on the 2nd-ish row from the stage. I was next to two lovely girls from Liverpool and they were very helpful in relation to my height issue (being 18 and 5ft 1 never works), they made space to get me as close to the front as I could. Jerry, the support act, was such an amazing singer and captured everyday life of a girl in sweet and calm songs. 

Nathan came on at 8:00, starting with a new song 'Twist.' It really got me excited for his new album and I felt myself getting into the music more than I could've ever imagined. I swayed and sang and as if Nathan and I were the only two people in the room.

 As I said with McBusted, it is the ability to make a person feel alone in a room full of people that makes you an amazing artist. I was confused because Nathan said he hadn't been able to speak an hour earlier, but his voice was so strong and it seemed faultless and effortless. I also loved his song 'Over and Over Again' where he played the keyboard, I was close to tears but in a good way. All his lyrics meant something to him and to me in some way. With 'Rolling in the Deep' by Adele and 'More Than You'll Ever Know' there were songs we knew and with the latter, a song to get down and seductive with (it's a sexy song). The hour and a bit passed in a flash but it was a nice flash.



At 9:45 the entire concert fell out happily and stumbled to the back to meet Nathan. We had waited and we were unsure whether Nathan could meet all of us but he didn't disappoint and not only did he take pictures with us, he held a conversation with every single one of us- me included. When I walked up to him my heart wasn't beating fast because it was almost unreal, it still is and when he saw me he was the sweetest human being around. He said and I got my photo, but bless him even though his voice was going he spoke to me normally. He made sure that I was getting home safely and we spoke about driving and I hugged him and I know it may seem over-rated but it really made a tough year seem brighter.


I would definitely recommend anyone to see this boy live and no just because I am a huge Nathan/ TW fan but because I am a huge music fan and he is the epitome of talent. Thank you Nathan Sykes for an amazing night and for being such a gentleman when meeting every single one of us. Thank you to the 5 girls I met and hung out with all day and was there when I met Nathan...

That's all for now my dears,
See you soon

What? I've actually finished university!

Hi my lil fairies, It's been a whirlwind few weeks, and probably months to be fair, but I've finally finished university - well I finished a few weeks ago and I've been trying to get back to normality. I managed to get a part time job and I know that, sooner or later, it'll dawn on me that I won't ever go back to university. I think the biggest thing for me is that I've pretty much spent all my life in education and it's been at the core of my life. As soon as I turned 3/4 I started primary school and then I was there until I went to high school where I spent 5 years until I went to college for two, which was then ended by 3 years at university - that's a long 18 years in some sort of education. It's crazy thinking about it now, that I was pretty much given a full blown schedule for most of my life and now I'm free... I can't say how much I've enjoyed these last three years. Even though they've been some of the toughest, they...

American Idol Top 5 Performances

Hiya Guys, I am suffering post-American Idol depression and I sort of feel empty not having a huge number of performances to catch up on... but it means that I haven't got an excuse to procrastinate and can actually get work done. But, I don't want to let go yet and I love procrastinating so I thought, 'Why not do what I do best?' That would be creating lists of my favourite things so let's get onto my top 5 favourite performances from the entire series of American Idol. This was one of the hardest posts to do as there were so many performances that I loved for different reasons. 1. Dalton Rapattoni - Bird Set Free by Sia Now, I know this may seem bias as I have been a Dalton fan for a year now but this performance was something that I will never forget and don't want to forget. Firstly, Sia did an amazing job with this song and the lyrics of this song are now probably some of my favourite ever lyrics because they have so much meaning and is very relatab...

WWE! A New Era?

Hiya Guys, I really hope that this week's blog title is obvious to those of you who understand and will most likely read this post! I am a big WWE fan and, before you say 'oh it's fake', well I do know that but I'd like to also say that Marvel and DC and all those films are also fake. So, these last few weeks made history in WWE by having the Brand Split of RAW and Smackdown and making them both live.  Here is my overview of the Draft last week as well as the first week of the so-called 'new era.' Draft Day I will be honest and say that Draft Day was a huge disappointment in terms of the draft itself and the way it was organised. It seemed extremely lackluster and rushed in comparison to the other years and seemed to be very much focused on the Managers of each of the companies (Stephanie/ Mick Foley and Shane/ Daniel Bryan) instead of the superstars. However, when it comes to the picks itself, I was pleasantly surprised and happy. I think...
