#ImNobodyToo - Dalton Rapattoni

Hiya Guys,

I had previously had another post written for Music Friday's but something happened last night in the USA that made this post crystal clear. 

I have never spoken of American Idol, because obviously I am from the UK, but someone that I have been fond of for a while appeared as a contestant and I mean he has made such an impact in my life that I couldn't not write about him.

If any of ya'll watched last night's episode, you would of recalled a young boy from Dallas singing Phantom of the Opera. If that doesn't ring a bell, 'you're masculine but a bit feminine too with your makeup' was what J-Lo described him as. Yes I am talking about 19 year old Dalton Rapattoni, ex-member of IM5 and member of Fly Away Hero. 
You may have seen IM5 appear on my Christmas songs list and he appears on my social media more often than my own life.

So anyway, for me, he was the soundtrack of an extremely difficult 2015 and has a voice that is amazing and unique. He chose an amazingly difficult song but made it seem effortless, however this post is less on him on American Idol *I don't want to give any spoilers* but more about him as a musician. However, if you want to watch his audition to see the result for yourself, then here is the link for it:

So anyway, Dalton Rapattoni is one of those artists that either you listen to and you're like 'oh he's great' or he suddenly becomes your whole world and his music does something to you, I am obviously in the latter category. 

His voice is so distinct and that is so important to remember when listening to voices or artists. I believe that when you listen to him sing a specific song, you can literally hear that emotion and rawness and know that he means every word that is coming out of his mouth. Also, if you choose to listen to him through headphones, you can hear the richness and passion through your body and believe that you are the only person in a room with him while he sings.

There is literally a song that he has written, for him and his band Fly Away Hero, for every emotion whether it be angry, sad or heartbroken and I feel that it is a great way to actually piece together your emotions.So if you're sad listen to Stop, if you want to scream listen to Gasoline and if you want to cry listen to Misunderstood from their EP Lost and Found.

He also isn't a sore for the eye. Another thing that is amazing about him is his distinct style that is a mix of rock and quirkiness with the blacks yet the brightness of his shoes and the eyeliner and flowery Doc Martin's. His style is great to use as an influence whether you are a guy or a girl and he does eyeliner better than I could dream.

 So that is me introducing you to a new musician that is going to be even bigger than I ever thought! Even from being in a boyband, he was always unique and has grown so much as an artists and a performer, so please give him some love and let me know what you think of him in the comments!

Thats all for now my dears,
See you soon

P.S: If you're reading this Dalton, thank you for everything and you've helped me so much.

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...
