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:

Bruno Mars Mashup (performed by IM5, arranged by Will Jay) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KH-9qOePk4

All I Ask/ Let it Go Mashup - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9goWk3vqUnU

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

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

Ear Piercing Debate

Hi my lil' fairies, It seems like all I ever seem to do is complain about what I've seen on my usual weekday morning television schedule, which normally includes Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women! I can normally watch pretty much any segment and understand both perspectives, but, today, I watched a segment about a debate that has been talked about before and is just increasingly angering me each time. Would you let your toddler get their ears pierced? Here's the video from the last time it was debated: I know it's a question that raises controversy but my main issue was the argument from the woman who opposed it: getting your toddler's ears pierced is child abuse. EXCUSE ME?!? Here's my stance on this issue as a whole: I got my ears pierced when I was a small baba because it's pretty much normal in my culture and the same thing happened to my sister when she was little. I never found anything weird about it and, fast forward 20 ...

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...
