The first one is two Braziilian Musician’s called Ana Carolina and Seu Jorge, while the second is the writer of the song, Damien Rice.
This is the same song that Diana Vickers sung in her X-Factor audition.

This was one of the books I asked for as a b’day present as I had tried to but it at least 2 times as soon as it came out and both bookshops didn’t have it, one was sold out (good look) while the other didn’t stock it.
I recieved this a few weeks after my b’day on a Sunday evening, about 8 O’Clock, 24 hours later on the Monday, I had completed the 314 page true story about 7 kids growing up on the Angell Town Estate in Brixton to become part of one of the London Street Gangs, (PDC).
Watch this space for the review, it’s worth the wait.. In the meantime I know it’s credit crunch times and that but if you’ve got a spare £5 you can order it from here..
Filed under: Music | Tags: Alexandra Burke, Damien Rice, Diana Vickers, X Factor
I have to be honest and confess. I am an avid follower of X factor, i.e from the first episode I watched and auditions were taking place I have watched it EVERY Saturday since and if i’ve missed it, i’ve rushed home from footy on a Sunday Afternoon just to see the re-run. Put it this way, I avoid the papers and the net before I have watched it in order to not spoil the surprise, Sad? I know!
But it gets worse in terms of the confessions!!
Basically I know I am about to put my neck on the line but for a variety of reasons, I want Diana Vickers (did I stutter??) to win X Factor, see I can hear the ‘Have you lost it?’ ‘Is he OK?’ ‘Who’s this guy fooling?’ questions from all of you as Alexandra Burke is clearly the best singer in the competition with the most star quality, but I must say firstly that I do admire an underdog, which Diana would be in a sing-off between the two.
Diana struck me from her initial audition when she sang ‘The Blowers Daughter’ by a contemporary artist called Damien Rice whom I learnt about in my first Uni, when I studied Music Management and Marketing and liked his music; it was just that, pure music. I am a fan of ANY genre of music, it’s more about how the music makes me personally feel that attracts me whether it be deep emotion, emotive words, rhythm’s, tempo’s etc, the list goes on.
I feel that Diana, albeit not the best singer is a raw uncut talent and undeniably is the most unique natural artist in the competition. Her tone of voice, some may say annoying, some may say just straight crap but I feel music relates to people in different ways and I can honestly say that in the right mood, I enjoy listening to music of the kind of nature of Diana.
I could see her along the Amy Winehouse, Duffy’s and to some extent Kate Nash while Diana would still be slighly left-field compared to those I listed.
Alexandra, however does not fit into a niche, she would fit nicely in the R&B market but would she thrive? Does any UK R&B artist really thrive?
Alexandra, has it all; the star quality, the looks, the diva-bility, the voice, the dancing, the charisma, the character, however she could have made it regardlessly without the X Factor, I feel she feels the need to prove to them they made a mistake a few years ago when she did not make it past the boot camp stage. But she didn’t need X Factor this time, and thats why it seems so evident that she must be the clear winner this time around however I know it’s not the popular choice, it’s controversial to say the least but i’m backing the underdog in this battle, Diana’s talent has grown on me.
Disagree? I bet you do, let me know…
In the current times of doom and gloom, the weather ain’t helping that cause at all, we all need abit of cheering up in our lives..
This is old, and her debut but this is taken from Choice FM and was her first major live show and she done ALOT!! Mel’s like a sister from another mother.. And it’s not coz I got love for her that i’m backing her as if she was wack i’d show her..
Go on.. Have a laugh!! That dude who gets the first joke targeted at him must feel WASTE!!
Who’s the best out of the three? Hit the comment box and let me know!!

All laugh and jokes in the Houses Of Parliament..
These days the average, hardworking citizen finds themselves waking up to constant negative newspaper articles, news reports, radio discussions and such regarding the buzz acronym of the last 24 months (CC), no not congestion charge, but CREDIT CRUNCH.
While one wonders how the country is being led financially, the question that also springs to mind is whether the MP’s even rally care too much about this situation that it leaves the average citizen in. After watching Prime Ministers’ Questions’ my initial doubts were even further enhanced.
The back and forth banter between the Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition, although entertaining, did not serve the purpose of the public, rather than discuss pressing issues, they seemed more content to nit-pick at eachother and even when they did get down to meaningful discourse, the delay in answers and constant back-tracking made it increasingly eveident that there were lie’s and cover-ups that were being clearly exposed by David Cameron.
I know, I know.. People don’t wanna hear about my discontent with politics as to most, it’s boring however I am interested as it’s a subject that as a writer one should at least be aware of and furthermore, when they are discussing raising VAT to 18.9% and beyond etc I think you need to sit up and pay at least a small bit of attention as if you’re complaining about the credit crunch now, then… It could get worse?!

One final thought though, I cannot understand why there are so few women in the Houses Of Parliament and also no representation from any of the ethnic minorities (no, not even the ‘token’ Dianne Abbott).. I know my local constitiuent is Asian but to see him in Houses Of Parliament at PMQ’s? That’s another question.
