SHOCK X- FACTOR EXITS....

well well well, can you Adam & Eve it? Now the last few weeks of watching X-Factor have brought me nothing but frustration. Reason being that the Weasel otherwise known as Katie Wassiel was still in the competition.

And as much as I was shocked and full of dismay that the judges were keeping the singer in (in my opinion to gain more media focus) other fans were more shocked that Wagner was still in the show.

So as much as I disliked Katie I was very suprised she had finally been kicked off. Amen!! Finally because it had gone to Deadlock, we were rid of her. Then came the second dismissal...... *booming x-factor voice* "WAGNER." Now i know as much as the next person that Wagner was not the best singer in the competition but he was a loveable rogue, full of charm and passion. He will be forever missed, but what does Wagner have to say about his X-factor exit?

Wagner blamed the badly chosen songs on his exit, saying :“The songs that can really show my voice like La Fortuna and The Wonder Of You and Creep, I sang them well because I can connect with the emotion. Songs like She Bangs, I can’t feel that.”




Can I end on HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA and you cut your hair for nothing, new you? pssssst don't make me laugh more. As for Wagner, I don't think we've seen the last of him, in the form of comical Saturday evening television, there is his secret love child with Mary.... WAAAAGGGGBBBOOOOOOOO!

Lynx Allnighter
























The next cracking music event I managed to bag a ticket to was the first ever Lynx Allnigter. I can't even remember where i won these tickets but it was to be held at Alexander Palace and the point of the night (a mental halloween rave starting from 9pm-6am) me and my sister proudly stayed at the venue until 4am and thats pretty darn good considering we didn't move from the front row once. we were bang straight in the centre with the most perfect view.



As this was actually a month today I'll have to think back to the memorable bits and bobs.
Ms.Dynamite launched her hot comeback and kicked off the night in style, it was really nice to see her perform her old school songs taking me, my sister and the other ladies we'd chatted to back to our younger days.








We got a lovely little wave from her, think she appreciated the mad response. Then next up we had amazing sets from DJ Shortie Blitz and I really liked the Audio Bullies dj set. There were quite long dj sets inbetween but i was still pumping out those classic dance moves, i swear i did not waver and because of this i was on the big screen a few times.









Professor Greens set did not dissapoint.. even if he came out half drunk, or was asleep in a wheelchair with backing track playing (i think i'd still be satisfied lol). He came out with I'm guessing alot of his Hackney mandems because they look like they relished in the stage antics, throwing £20 notes all other the gaff... before quickly taking them back and probably handed back to a stern Pro Green after. But basically he put his all into every performance and if i recall i did get a smile from him (well i should think so).







Now I wasn't at all bothered about seeing the pint sized and current I'm a celeb get me out of here Aggro Santos but he proved himself to be quite the entertainer, he also looked very dapper in suit and shades. I was also shocked to realise just how many of the words to his songs that I knew. I shouted at him to take his glasses off which he later did and his albums sounds like its a good mix of reggaeton, funky and hip hop. I must mentioned that me and my sister got a cheeky air kiss as we hollered that we LOVE aggro santos.









It was a major gap after Aggro finished but i was determined to see Roll Deep and after sara gave up in search of a pew, I kept busy by dancing away to myself. I think Roll Deep were worth the wait. It's the second I've seen them (mobo awards) and although a low budget set, they still put all their energy into it :)

MOBO AWARDS 2010

I thought I should update you on the last few months of madness I have incurred.


I had the amazing luck of winning tickets to the prestigious event, held at The Echo Arena in Liverpool. Not only have I wanted to attend the Mobo Awards for quite a few years (i remember watching it as a little nipper and being in awe and inspired by the music celebrating british black influencial music.) Aswell as wanting to go to the award, I've wanted to visit the city of Liverpool, it was last year that it won City of Culture and as the creator of the Mobo Awards said herself 'They couldn't think of a city more deserving to hold the awards, having amazing musicians like The Beatles coming from Liverpool.'






This years awards certainly didn't dissapoint and I couldn't have been more please with the line up of performers. My favourite Proffessor Green, Travis Mcoy dueted with JLS, collaborations with Tinchy, Tinie, Devlin, Giggs and Pro and a glittery performance from N-Dubz.




There was also performances from host Alesha Dixon, stage antics were had with Roll Deep, chart topper Jay Sean gave the performance of his career, Nelly made his comeback with a dozen scantily clad beauties and Mark Ronson started the show with a Bang Bang Bang.




I really couldn't have asked for a better night (okay perhaps if i hadn't have drunk the place dry I could have attended the after party and mingled with a few more stars but you live and learn)




I did however get to meet my crush Professor Green (third time counting) and equally cute Ed Drewitt.




Liverpool was the friendliest City I've encountered, I fell in love with their wicked accents, kindness and hospitality. I will definetly be visiting again in the coming months as because of my foolish drunkness i was unable to attend not only the official after party but another one at Mosquito club.




So let me tell you some glitz and glam of the event. I got to walk down the red carpet in full view of the waiting paparazzi. Once inside and after collection of our exclusive wristbands, me and Kelly made our way to the Pre- Party, where we dined on delectable mini ice cream, mini kebabs and jerk chicken & rice canapes. I was impressed already but that was just the beginning. We were surrounded by the richest people and many industry insiders, i was stood next to Corinne Bailey Rae and Roll Deep. I was out od this world. We even had our very own DJ spinning the best tunes but me and Kelly seemed to be the only ones dancing (maybe we should have learnt the ettiquete lol)




It was then that we were given a 10 minute announcement that we should find our VIP tables (yes you read that correctly) I was literally sat 10 tables away from the UK's finest music acts :) The table blew my mind, we had bottles of wine, water, Mobo cupcakes and programmes.




Never has a gig been too quick , I didnt want to leave but i had to because I had drunk far too much, it was on my way to the hotel that I bumped into pro and ed.
END OF... :) next post
