Will Jay is an angel!

Hiya guys,

Time for me to introduce you to yet another artist that I am loving at the moment and literally listen to on a near hourly basis. Will Jay Behlendorf is a 19 year old singer/ songwriter from LA who used to be in the boyband IM5 but has been a solo artist for longer than a year.
Isn't he adorable?

I don't even know where to start with the masterpiece that is Will Jay so I guess I will say a bit about him and his personality then I will go onto his music and list some of the standout aspects of his musical talents and then link you to some of my favourite videos of him. 

Will is the sweetest person ever and is a combination of being slightly geeky, very talented and such a gentleman. When he was part of IM5, he was ever so shy and introverted but when he was comfortable with an interviewer, such as Ava from On The Spot Interviews, he really burst out of his bubble and he would come out with some of the best one liners I have ever heard. He is the kind of person that you would marry at a heartbeat because he is a guy that any girl would dream about.

Musically, I don't think I can categorise Will into any one genre because he has shown that he can sing and dance to pretty much everything and anything that has a melody too it. With his talent of identifying perfect pitch and knowing what he can contribute to the music industry means that he doesn't ever lose himself and is a true artist.

I personally love his song writing skills and the way he takes an amazing melody and puts such heartfelt lyrics to them that are catchy and meaningful. From Superman (of which he wrote with Dalton Rapattoni) and Heartless that he wrote for IM5 to some of his own songs such as Watercolours and Carnival, it almost seems crazy that someone this young can write songs like this with such ease and flow. 

What also makes him stand out is the ability to take a variety of songs from the same or different artists and put them into a mashup that flows so well that it sounds as if it should be one song alone. It is so hard to put songs together that are of different genre's and tempos yet keep the essence of each song and adapt them to each other. I think it is an ability like this that separates the singers from the musicians and Will Jay is definitely one of those few musicians.

So here are a few links that I think you should watch:

Also, Will Jay if you read this, you are absolutely stunning and I really hope that one day you'll come to the UK and I can see you live because you are magnificent.

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

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 Strictly favourites for this year!

Hiya guys, Hasn't the first few episodes of Strictly been amazing and shocking, in terms of talent and the results (book Tameka leaving). I don't remember a year where so many of the contestants are this talented so early because even Ed Balls isn't as bad as people like John Sargeant or Greg Wallace. Before I start, special shoutout to Judge Rinder who literally entertains me every week and Claudia who proves that us short people can do whatever we want. So, what does a new series of SCD call for... oh yeah a list of my favourite's who I think have a proper shot of winning the glitterball this year. I am sorry for the size of the list, they're all too good to just pick a few! LETS GOOOO... 1. Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse I loved Danny in Hollyoaks so I was mega excited when it came up that he was coming on the show and by God he did not disappoint me. I was also thrilled when he was paired with Oti who is absolutely magnificent but couldn't show...
