The End of the American Idol Era! - FInale Night

Hiya Guys,

As many of you who've read my other posts know, I have been pretty much addicted to this series of American Idol (even though I am from the UK) and I am sad to say it has finally finished. After 14 years, they've hung up the microphones and packed up the stage and ended on a high!

This series has been absolutely amazing and I have witnessed some amazing and talented singers that are really going to influence the music industry in the years to come. But these last two days of the finale have really ended the show on a high note. 

I was extremely devastated when Dalton got voted out but I am so incredibly proud of how much he has achieved and he couldn't have lost out to two better people! Trent and La'Porshe are absolutely stunning singers and I don't think I could have predicted a better final. Wednesday night really heated up the process with it being on a much larger scale in terms of staging and audience as well as more to lose.

Dalton's performance of Strike a Match was definitely an amazing way to bow out of Idol and a reminding everyone on how he got to 3rd place. It has so much emotion and you could literally see the happiness in his face as he domineered the stage with this amazing song that could be a no.1 single. He always makes a spectacle of every song and my eyes are never not drawn to him in a performance. He should be proud of his journey and this performance was no exception. I also have to thank him as, without him, I never would have watched this series to start with.

La'Porsha Renae was an absolutely stunning runner up and I think that, no matter what happens, she has an amazing future. She is also a role model for women and girls everywhere. Her song Battles is such a statement and would have been an amazing single for her because it really shows off her vocal talents and I hope she knows how amazing it was. Followed by her cover of Diamonds and A House is not a Home were as amazing as her first performance. I loved hearing Diamonds again because I think that it was one of her strongest performances and she manages to show her great range with whatever song she sings! I wish her all the best in the future and feel blessed to have been braced with her voice.

Trent Harmon was someone I clocked as a favourite from the start and I couldn't be happier for him because any three of them could have won! Singing Chandelier again was such a good choice for Trent as it was one of those performances that captivates me and really shows off his amazing vocal skills including his range and all of those acrobatics! Not to mention that I am uber jealous of his voice because I cannot even reach half the notes he can and I am a 19 year old girl... If You Don't Know Me By Now was also one of those songs that was absolutely perfect for Trent and it shows off his stage presence and actually shows him off as a proper diva with that jacket. I actually felt him singing those words and that is what I love about him and all of the other singers on here this year. Finally, his winner's song Falling was the perfect song for him. I don't want to keep repeating it but his sheer vocal abilities amaze me again and again and I know that he is going to have an amazing career.

So that's my finale round up and I think it was one of the best out of any talent shows I have watched, including those in the UK, and I feel blessed for being so involved.

So I bid you a goodbye American Idol and thank you for the memories!

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...
