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 her talent last year so these two together are a power team! I know there is a lot of controversy considering he went to a stage school but he did not focus on dance so it can't be used against him! However, he is absolutely amazing and I can't believe his talent in both the latin and ballroom dances - I mean did you see that arm shaping in the Paso! These guys maybe are my absolute favourite in terms of talent, pairing and partnership. I am excited to see what is to come... especially in the jive which is my favourite dance.
2. Greg Rutherford and Natalie Lowe
This was the surprise of the series and, even though I love Greg anyway, I am so happy that he is actually good and not just a bit of a joke. Also, like Oti, I am so glad that Natalie has someone good and with a lot of charisma because I haven't seen Nat able to show of her skills since Scott Maslen *do you remember THAT jive?* I don't know whether his latin will be technically perfect but I know he'll put in his all and he'll put on a show! But I want to note that as soon as Greg was announced, I called that Natalie was going to be his partner so woohoo me.
3. Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton
I just want to say... WELCOME BACK TO THE MAIN SHOW JOANNE! I think having Ore as a partner has been a great way to bring her back to being a pro and competing because he is just a ray of sunshine! He brings such charisma and sophistication to all of his dances and I can't believe that this is the same guy I used to watch on CBBC all those years ago because I now feel like I'm watching a dancer not presenter. He can do ballroom and he can do latin, what else could I want? Ore's ability to execute dance moves with his own twist put together with Joanne's beautiful choreography really makes for an amazing watch!
4. Will Young and Karen Clifton
Another Clifton on the cards and I feel like this family do nothing but make Strictly amazing! I have been a fan of Will Young since the Pop Idol days but never did I think that he would be as amazing as he is. Although he may not be up to the same standard technically as Danny, his performance skill and genuine dancing ability makes me smile literally every week. He gets into his character whether it's a Bollywood boy or rocker and puts his all into it which just makes it easy to watch. I don't feel like I'm watching Strictly when Will's on, it literally feels like I'm watching a West End Show. I think he is going to go so far and his skills are improving all the time.

So here are my favourites but not forgetting some of my favourite pro's Brendan Cole and Kevin Clifton! This year is exceptional so I can't wait to see what the rest of the series brings.

Who are your favourites or do you know who you want to win?

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...
