Strictly Devastating

Hiya Guys,

It was the week of the Strictly Come Dancing Semi-Final and not a voice could be heard in the household as I sat holding my breath at the 10 dances I saw. However, Sunday was a different story as you heard shrieks of pleasure and a long sad cry of sadness! Yes I am a huge SCD fan but I normally leave my comments to my Tumblr blog but I felt very passionate about this week's results - not for the right reason either.

I have loved this years line up and I believed it to have been the best semi-final line up ever. My baby Jay coming back on the screen, the grace and drama of Kellie, the Northerness of Georgia, the novice and improvement of Anita and the elegance of Katie. I have never struggled so much with favourites and struggled between Jay, Kellie and Anita.

Which led me to the upset of this week's result because, although I believed the bottom 2 to be correct, the decision made by 3 judges was not the one I would have done and is the cause for a huge uproar by fans across the country.

I was thrilled that the three got through that did straight away because I absolutely love Jay and Kellie (okay I am like the biggest Kevin Clifton fan ever) but I was disappointed that Anita was in the dance off for the first time. 

I immediately knew Katie would do her average waltz and Anita would do that contreversial salsa that I loved and watched a bit too much (due to Gleb himself and that amazing choreography). Now I know they count it just on the dance off or are meant to but I believed that this week should have been an exception.

When it came to the judges telling the audience who they wanted to leave, for once I only actually agreed with Craig. Anita and Gleb are always so daring and is an all around better dancer which raises questions on whether they just wanted an excuse to keep Anton and get him to the final. My view is that Anita was always much better at all the dances and whereas Katie had huge lows (I mean that Charleston this week was awful), Anita has never fallen too far below the mark and has never been in the bottom for a reason. Anita and Gleb were firm fan favourites and I am sorely angry and upset that I am going to miss out on seeing their show dance next week.

I am very upset but I do believe that they could have won it but hey ho! I am just going to enjoy the final and vote for my two favourites!

Please let me know in the comments your views and follow my blog strictlycomesparkle.tumblr.com for up-to-date news and feedback from the final!

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

Fresher's Ball in my 2nd Year

Hiya guys, I'm currently writing this blog post after 3 mental days which included; going to the Fresher's ball as a 2nd year (that's the topic of today), turning 20 and bringing my Mancunian friends to the big city. The latter two are pretty much irrelevant for today's post but I mean they all sort of blend together I think. The Fresher's Ball is done at pretty much every university in England and is a way for first year's to end their 'relaxation' period and get ready for the real work. I missed last year's because I went home for my sisters birthday so I was even more determined to go this and have an epic time. Also, the fact that it was the day before my 20th Birthday seemed like fate because why wouldn't I want to start my birthday with my friends dancing like we were 1st years and drunk - although I was sober the entire night. The Ball was on the university campus and seemed less formal and more like an awesome club night ba...

Strictly Top 5 - Claudia and AJ

Hiya guys, The Strictly tour has been over for a while but my brain hasn't wrapped itself around the fact that I have to wait until September for it too start again. But, these Strictly posts are going to keep coming until I've maybe done one for every bit of Strictly possible. If you follow me on any of my social media, or have followed my last few posts, you'll know that Claudia Fragapane and AJ Pritchard were one of my favourite couples in the show and I was gutted that they didn't make it to the final. It wasn't just because they were amazing together and danced amazingly, I think it helped that they are pretty similar age as me (Claudia is 19, I'm 20 and AJ is 22) so I liked seeing some younger people dancing! I know that I put some of their dances in my other top 5's, but I'm going to do one anyway because most of their dances were phenomenal . 1. Jive to Hey Mickey If only there hadn't been that little slip up near the begin...
