#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.

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...

Book... I PICK YOU!

Hiya guys, The title of this post is pretty self explanatory and I feel like these kind of posts are nice because they don't trick you and give you an insight into my crazy life. It's crazy how in my dads time, it wasn't 'cool' to be interested in books and now, everywhere you look, it seems as if books are becoming so much more mainstream and encouraged. Here are my top 4 books but they are in no order because I could never choose between my babies.           1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky This is one book I refuse to not have with me so it goes literally everywhere with me from Manchester to London. I think it was because the book had so much meaning and was the first book I felt as if I connected too. Charlie has a bit of everyone in him and it just means that you can relate to his character in some way without you feeling as if your diary is being read by millions. The fact that Chbosky has managed to touch on some reali...

My Magical Floridian Holiday

Hi Guys, I've been quiet for a few weeks and there's been a reason for that, I was lucky enough to be able to jet off to Orlando in Florida with my family for two weeks for a fortnight of magic and fun. I just got back yesterday and I don't think I'm ready to give up that feeling. This means that the next few posts on this blog are going to be based on my holiday. This post is just a quick look back because the holiday was filled through so much that I couldn't even think about writing about it in one post. I had high expectations for this trip because it's been about 8 years since I'd last been and my love for Disney has just grown. There were some major differences from the last time I went. The biggest thing was that we stayed at a Aparthotel last time whereas, this time, we stayed at Disney's All Star Music Resort. Even though it's one of the cheaper options, it didn't make the trip any less magical and made life much easier but I...
