American Idol - My Favourites in the Top 10

Hiya Guys,

This post probably seems slightly weird as I am from the UK and this post is about an American TV Talent Show. Well, it is weird how obsessed I have become with this series for several reasons including the amount of talent that oozes from a variety of artists who beat most people on British talent shows.

The talent seems to be a lot more raw and they don't do what us Brits love and keep all the rubbish acts to make good TV but in the process ruin good artists shots. The amazingly funny and talented judging panel consisting of J-Lo, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. have picked raw talent and stuck to their guns by keeping people they know can make it big. The chemistry between the 3 judges is brilliant as there is so much banter and joking but, in the end, they always know what they are talking about and give constructive criticism.

Here are the people I think have made this year amazing and have made it to the top 10:

1. Dalton Rapattoni - @DaltonRapattoni

You have probably seen me post about him in the past and, if you know my social media, you'll understand how this boy has been so amazing the last year to me. However, even if I hadn't of known of Dalton before, I would have still thought he was an amazing artist (even though he was the reason I watched it in the first place). He manages to change up every song that he has sang and when he first said he was going on the show, I thought I'd know what songs he'd sing but with a repertoire of Andrew Lloyd Webber to NSync to Billy Idol, he totally flipped what I thought but included songs from my favourite genre's. I am so proud of him and everything he has achieved so, it may be bias, but he is my favourite this season and I wish him all the best.
2. Mackenzie Bourg - @mackenziebourg

 I have loved this guy from day one because of the pure quirkiness and cuteness he brings. His little geeky glasses really give him that boy next door look or the shy boy in the back of class. BUT, his voice is definitely something amazing and his individual kind of voice is nothing that I have heard recently, especially in the charts. It seems as if he is also an amazing songwriter as Roses almost sounded like something I would buy from iTunes today and really show that he could make a huge contribution to the music industry. He takes every song and makes it his own which I think is key to make it into the industry nowadays.
3. Trent Harmon - @TrentWHarmon

 This guy has an absolutely stunning voice and it seems as if he has heart and soul to match. I remember getting so worried when he came on stage on group night saying he had mono because I thought they might disqualify him but thank god they didn't! He entrances me when he sings and he always brings a slight bit of quirkiness, like Mackenzie. His voice is so unique and I don't think that there are many artists that are so pure and natural and that suit most types of songs even if they aren't normally associated with that type of voice. Also, some of those hats that he wears make me very hat jealous because some of them, including his red one, are pieces of art.

So there are my three favourites. Don't forget to follow them on Twitter and, if you're lucky enough to be in the US, then vote for them on American Idol! However, I do love them all and people like Tristan, Lee Jean and La'Porsha are also stunning so watch it and choose your own favourite!

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

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...
