A few little events...

I have truly had such an exciting past two or three months, I suppose I waited for quite a while to blog again so I would have loads of material. Aka not becoming boring, which I am but merh. On the 9th october, I attended the Radio1 teen awards and it was veritably good. No one really stood out for me except Ed Sheeran maybe because the whole room was silent when he sang. But it was still a nice occasion. To be honest, it's the same every year but with different (Mostly overrated) artists. But I got to the front and got a few hugs off people so I'm happy with that really.
On Tuesday 1st November, I went to see Jessie J at the Hammersmith Apollo. It was brilliant, and I am amazed at how she sings live each and every time she performs. Her voice is truly beautiful, and after that I am now an even bigger fan. I'm wishing her the best in a journey that can only guide her upwards. My favourite songs by her are Nobody's Perfect and Who You Are. I was (And still am) jealous of the girl who got to go up onstage and sing with her. Also, 'Who you are' is now one of my favourite songs, and I am consistently watching the video I took of it live. Simply stunning.

I also won tickets to go to the X-factor live shows for 'Movie week'. I queued for absolutely hours but the tiresome wait proved worthwhile. Whilst standing in a line for the toilet (How attractive I might add), Craig and Marcus ran past. They seemed almost in awe, as they weren't aware we were there and said Hey. Also waved and said hi to Olly Murs, was within touching distance of him. And I embarrassed myself on national TV, how fun. All in aid of being noticed by Gary Barlow. It was a fun night, I'd love to go again if Gary gets confirmed as a judge next year. I very much wanted to attend the final, as I was offered a ticket by a friend but was unable to attend.
Also, how well have Tottenham been doing in the premier league? We are third with a game in hand above both Arsenal and Chelsea. Currently the team of London at the moment. This is brilliant, minus that loss to PAOK and us crashing out of Europa but I think Harry is focusing on a Top 4 finish more importantly. The team is consistent, on form and scoring the all important goals needed. Can't fault them at all. Clean sweep for us, with Scott Parker and Harry Redknapp being named both Manager and Player of the month for November. Consistent wins, despite a loss at stoke last week, we need to keep this up if we want a decent position. Keep it up lads!
Third with a game in hand!

On the Saturday night before GB-RAH, I attended the Capital Jingle Bell Ball. It was honestly better than I was expecting it to be-Olly Murs was fantastic and I now like him a little more. Jason Derulo and Pixie Lott are quite average, and I had saw them already.

I still can't get over the fact that Labrinth plays the guitar!
He also has a brilliant voice. The night was rounded off with a very showy (Abit flat) performance by Rihanna. The performer we had all been anticipating, yet she was verging on awful. The Wanted stood out for me. I'm considering going to see them in London next March. It was a brilliant night compared to what I was expecting, and the night I was going to have on the Monday...
 And the Monday 5th December arrived, it was the day. Unfortunately I had to attend college, where I remained unfocused throughout the day until 4pm. It was only for Gary Barlow RAH -Insert Sarcasm-. After a long, nearly delayed journey I arrived at Kensington at the Royal Albert Hall. The hall is absolutely stunning, and I insisted on taking a picture to show this.

The concert was absolutely fantastic, with Gary delivering as usual. Also, added with a little of his remarkable dry humour. Opening with 'Greatest Day' and going into 'Reach Out,' it was truly a night to remember. Before Monday, I didn't particularly like 'Could it be magic' but now I like it a bit better after Gary performed it 'Beautiful World style'. The memorable night was added to by many things, such as he done the 'Pray' dance not once but TWICE and treated us to a medley of 'I'd wait for life,' 'Lie to me,' 'Love ain't here anymore' and 'Forever Love'. #loveit. Following the interval, a crowd of middle aged fans surged forward and to the side as he strode through them, attempting to sing 'Everything Changes' meanwhile. Barlow basically got molested, even by men. His brilliant performances of 'Nobody Else' and 'patience' were brilliant and had the audience on their feet within seconds. The first guest, was LuLu of course, as they sang 'Relight my fire' together. 'I swear she gets younger everytime I see her?' He joked. The second guest was Jason Donovan, singing one of his songs whilst Gary played the piano. Didn't really interest me but it was quite good. Then, Olly Murs came on and sung 'Shine'. It totally suited his voice. Mark Owen who? It was my second time seeing him in one week and I was incredibly #excited. Marcus Collins was ill, so we weren't given a song from him although the Tuesday audience were.

Sums up the night! 'Everything changes'
'This is the worst bit, I have to go now,' before 'Back for Good,' which has to be one of my favourite songs live, ever. I especially love it as the crowd chorus and it all comes together and we all feel united as fans. We were then suddenly introduced to 'Never Forget,' which I don't think I will ever forget. Meanwhile, a friend had called me and was mesmerised by how fantastic it all sounded. My seats were slightly at the side, and it was truly amazing seeing everyone else do the arm movements, Which of course look like this in case you didn't know:' \o/ '. My highlight of the night was probably Gary singing 'Rule the world' and 'Patience'. I am totally in love with the way he introduces Patience 'This was the song that brought us back after all these years'.That was only my second 'Proper' concert and it will always be the best. Honestly a fantastic musical experience that I would love again!
Thanks for reading...
