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

Fresher's Ball in my 2nd Year

Hiya guys, I'm currently writing this blog post after 3 mental days which included; going to the Fresher's ball as a 2nd year (that's the topic of today), turning 20 and bringing my Mancunian friends to the big city. The latter two are pretty much irrelevant for today's post but I mean they all sort of blend together I think. The Fresher's Ball is done at pretty much every university in England and is a way for first year's to end their 'relaxation' period and get ready for the real work. I missed last year's because I went home for my sisters birthday so I was even more determined to go this and have an epic time. Also, the fact that it was the day before my 20th Birthday seemed like fate because why wouldn't I want to start my birthday with my friends dancing like we were 1st years and drunk - although I was sober the entire night. The Ball was on the university campus and seemed less formal and more like an awesome club night ba...

Strictly Top 5 - Claudia and AJ

Hiya guys, The Strictly tour has been over for a while but my brain hasn't wrapped itself around the fact that I have to wait until September for it too start again. But, these Strictly posts are going to keep coming until I've maybe done one for every bit of Strictly possible. If you follow me on any of my social media, or have followed my last few posts, you'll know that Claudia Fragapane and AJ Pritchard were one of my favourite couples in the show and I was gutted that they didn't make it to the final. It wasn't just because they were amazing together and danced amazingly, I think it helped that they are pretty similar age as me (Claudia is 19, I'm 20 and AJ is 22) so I liked seeing some younger people dancing! I know that I put some of their dances in my other top 5's, but I'm going to do one anyway because most of their dances were phenomenal . 1. Jive to Hey Mickey If only there hadn't been that little slip up near the begin...
