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

Introducing me!

Hiya guys,  This is my first ever blog post, I was going to say of the year, but it is actually my first one ever! I think it is necessary to introduce myself to all you beautiful people.  My name is Sonal Lad and I am a below average 18 year old girl from England!  I started this blog because I have always been interesting in writing to a mass audience and I believe that this could be the starting point of trying to get into journalism. I also love the idea of being able to interact with people from all over the world on issues that are dear to my heart!  I think as time goes on, you will get to know me a lot more and hopefully I get to know all of you guys a lot better! That's all for now my dears, See you soon xx

Ear Piercing Debate

Hi my lil' fairies, It seems like all I ever seem to do is complain about what I've seen on my usual weekday morning television schedule, which normally includes Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women! I can normally watch pretty much any segment and understand both perspectives, but, today, I watched a segment about a debate that has been talked about before and is just increasingly angering me each time. Would you let your toddler get their ears pierced? Here's the video from the last time it was debated: I know it's a question that raises controversy but my main issue was the argument from the woman who opposed it: getting your toddler's ears pierced is child abuse. EXCUSE ME?!? Here's my stance on this issue as a whole: I got my ears pierced when I was a small baba because it's pretty much normal in my culture and the same thing happened to my sister when she was little. I never found anything weird about it and, fast forward 20 ...

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...
