All Time Low- Back to the Future Hearts Tour

Hiya Guys,

Sorry for not posting last Friday or at all but it's because I have loads of assignments due in and Music Friday wasn't uploaded because I was preparing for this week by going to a concert!

As I have mentioned before, I am such a huge All Time Low fan and the fact that, after 5 years, I have finally been able to see them live is really a huge thing for me and the fact that I took my mum and converted her to a fan is huge. Before I start my highlights or review, I want to say that the wait didn't disappoint me and it has been one of the best tours I have seen due to the sheer perfection of everything including the support acts, the setlist, the energy and the atmosphere.

I had heard of both the support acts (Against the Current and Good Charlotte) but live, they exceeded all of my expectations. It was obvious that Good Charlotte was the most popular of the two but this was clearly because of the length of time they had been around as they had fans from the age of 15 to 40. They kept there setlists current and interactive with Against the Current playing an amazing rendition of Uptown Funk and GC playing some of their classics such as Girls and Boys which even my mum knew.
Once everyone had been hyped up by the support acts, up came All Time Low from a platform with the light shining down on them (and Jack having his hands down his pants) which set the mood for the entire night.

Apart from having the best setlist I have seen which contained pretty much all the songs I wrote on my list last post inc. Lost in Stereo and Poppin' Champagne, there was so much energy and so many highlights that I can't really put it into words how amazing it was.

There were so many levels to the set and this included extremely upbeat songs where everyone in the arena was jumping up and down (with the occasional moshpit) to everyone having their flashlights out and crying (that might just have been me in Missing You). I have never felt so accomplished or so satisfied after waiting for so long to see a band because normally you always feel a bit disappointed but here I never did.

Each of the boys brought something to the night:

1. Alex Gaskarth
I sometime wonder how Alex can make so many styles of songs sound so cool! He epitomises what a lead singer should be with crowd participation, an amazing singing voice and guitar skills to die for. I don't think I've met someone who is a triple threat as much as Alex: great singer, great guitarist and great performer.
2. Zachary Merrick
Zack was as quiet as he always is but it always seems to work for him. He didn't need all the gimmicks or stage antics like Jack yet he managed to draw me in with the passion and skills on the bass (or several of which the one pictured was my favourite). Also, the fact that he knew the bass rift to 'Do you want me' off by heart really stole my heart!
3. Jack Barakat
I could not keep up with Jack the entire 2 hours because he had so much energy that I didn't know where to put my eyes. He was running from one side to the other, jumping into the crowd and sweating his balls off yet his performance skills never faltered once. Jack Barakat, you are my hero and I would party with you!
4. Rian Dawson
Silent but deadly is the only way to describe Rian Dawon. His drumming was a little show within the main show because the passion shown in his face is so dramatic and exciting that I could watch him all day. He is so ruggedly handsome and so talented that he is one of my favourite drummers!

Ending the night with a cheesy improvised version of the 80's classic 'Don't you want me' really summarised the tour in a few words: very weird yet it works!

So that was my night and I can't stress enough how much I recommend you seeing them live if you have the chance whether it be at an arena, stadium or at a festival!

That's all for now my dears,
See you soon

xxx

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...
