5 Seconds of Summer ROWYSO Manchester

Hiya Guys,

It's been a while and that is mostly because my A Levels have started and my mind is in full revision mode. But I had a nice day off yesterday and, as usual, my title basically tells you what this post is going to be about.

After a hella' stressful trip which took us (me, mum and sister) an hour to get to the arena, we finally arrived and I got my chill back and some McDonald's. Taking a look at the merch store (which is always my favourite part of the pre-concert ritual) and the horrendous prices, I settled with a programme and queued up to go inside... I was surrounded by two types of girls that night:

  1. Girls of different ages who were dressed like they should've been at prom
  2. People who were dressed in all black or plaid (which I fitted into)
The latter I found easier to look at, I didn't see the point of dressing in such a way because you were there to enjoy yourself not get married. I could go on for ages on this topic but it's not why I'm here! 

So, Hey Violet the support act came on at 8:00 and they really knew how to work a crowd. Their cover of Blank Space was one of the best I'd heard, it kept the essence from Taylor's original but added the rock vibe that we expected. So check them out on their Youtube and Twitter.



Onto the main set from the 5SOS boys! They started with the ever amazing 'End Up Here' and I think, from that moment on, I went from having a heart beating at a thousand miles to my body just being full of adrenaline the whole time.




One of the things I've always loved about them is the fact that they don't take themselves too seriously, like the fact that halfway through Michael started shouting 'Luke Sucks Balls' and Luke tried to defend himself pretty poorly. But then they got all sentimental, especially Calum, who when we started singing Amnesia, he just stopped and listened with a face that could make anyone melt.





I can't really remember any other concert where I have sweat that much, that included concerts at standing venues without air conditioning. They didn't falter on energy which meant I kept up my energy. That surprised me because I suffer from asthma and I can't be as energetic as I used to be. They took away every bad feeling I had and replaced it with happiness and a new found love for live music.





They sang and played amazingly while running around the stage like the lunatics we all fell in love with! Other bands should take notes on how to perform like real pro's!

I couldn't really tell you a highlight but I think my favourite song was Wrapped Around Your Finger, mainly because it really showed Michael's vocals and I felt like I was the only person in that room. If you read my post on McBusted, then you'll know ho important it is that the artist can make me feel special!



I've ended with this picture I took of Ashton because it perfectly defined the show! They wanted us to smile and forget all of our worries for that one night and be the happiest we could be. I know I had the best time and I hope the boys did too!

So, what's the conclusion of this post? Well if you ever doubted 5SOS as a band, please do not judge them until you have seen them live because they really are something!
If you have seen one of their shows, tell me what you thought on my social media sites @Full_Time_Nerd or standingintheredsky.tumblr.com or leave a comment below!

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

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...

My Strictly favourites for this year!

Hiya guys, Hasn't the first few episodes of Strictly been amazing and shocking, in terms of talent and the results (book Tameka leaving). I don't remember a year where so many of the contestants are this talented so early because even Ed Balls isn't as bad as people like John Sargeant or Greg Wallace. Before I start, special shoutout to Judge Rinder who literally entertains me every week and Claudia who proves that us short people can do whatever we want. So, what does a new series of SCD call for... oh yeah a list of my favourite's who I think have a proper shot of winning the glitterball this year. I am sorry for the size of the list, they're all too good to just pick a few! LETS GOOOO... 1. Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse I loved Danny in Hollyoaks so I was mega excited when it came up that he was coming on the show and by God he did not disappoint me. I was also thrilled when he was paired with Oti who is absolutely magnificent but couldn't show...

Help! Essays are due!

Hiya guys, This week is another attempt at helping you gorgeous people to learn things through my mistakes. It is that time of the year and whether you've already given in essays or have some to give in, everyone will need help at some point. Please don't just take my word for it as I am only a first year university student and cannot help with content or structure . However, here are just a few points that I wish I'd known when I started doing essays and things that I do now that really help my essay writing process. Essay's, whether they be for a humanities or a science subject, have a core aim and that is too write about a specific topic to show your understanding and ability to write coherently and for a purpose so hopefully this can be partly useful to everyone. 1. Once you've chosen a question, step back and think about what it is asking Get the question and analyse it. What is the question word? Is it 'why, what, to what extent,' and figur...
