One Direction Night Changes video

BandAid30 review

The video for BandAid30- Do they know its Christmas? was shown on the Xfactor results show on Sunday, and it allowed us to see how the track came together with all the stars of 2014 singing on it. The song began with One Direction singing the first lyrics, a big responsibility when singing such a well know, classic song, but they executed it extremely well, and Sir Bob Geldof even agreed. We see all the stars in the video doing their bit, 1D, Ed Sheeran, Olly Murs, Bono, Ellie Goulding, Emile Sande, Sam Smith, Coldplay, Bastille, and many more amazing names that came out to perform on the single.

The song is great, and always will be, but I'm not too sure about the youtubers in it, sure they're popular with the generation of today and it's all in the name of charity, but they're not professional singers, they should've asked some other brilliant singers to be in it rather than youtubers, who looked a little out of place surrounded by all that talent.

One Direction deluxe edition tracks review

After One Direction's deluxe edition of FOUR was released on Monday I was able to listen to the four bonus tracks that they added just for the fans. The quality of these extra songs are similar brilliance to the tracks on the normal version of the album, although one of them makes me laugh when listening to it.

Illusion:
Written by Liam about his girlfriend Sophia Smith, the song starts off with the lads singing together with no music or instruments ion the background, which gives off the vibe that this track would be sung on tour as the crowd would be able to shout these first lyrics with them as the start the song. The lyrics are pretty straight forward, as Liam is writing about his girlfriend, her is stating that his love for her is real and he would never do anything to compromise their relationship. The song also states 'Tell me you believe in love, cause it's not an illusion' which suggests that they are asking their loved ones if they believe in the aspect of love and if they feel there love is real, like they do.

FAVOURITE LINE- 'I promise falling for me won't be a mistake'

I been thinking about the nights
And the dangerous tricks
People play on the eyes of the innocent
 
Once In A Lifetime:
This track is definitely more of a ballad, the pace is slow and almost relaxing to listen to. The song itself is quite short, so it's quite obvious the group wanted this one to be a bonus track, but it still works with the rest of the album, it's a typical love song, which is quite adorable if I'm being honest. There's not really much to say about this one, except that it will definitely be a song that fans will wave their phones in the air for.

FAVOURITE LINE- 'Once in a lifetime, you were mine'

Act My Age:
This song makes me giggle every time I listen to it, I can't help it. It starts with a guitar plucking and then transitions into almost Irish music (Niall is that you??), and the lyrics are almost joking around with the listener, suggesting that even when the group are old men and their kids 'think they're a joke' they won't yield to the stereotype of an old citizen, they will still have fun and mess around like they do now. It also suggests a mention of a partner in their lives, so even with their partners they will act the same as the did when they first met when they're older, and they'll still do the things they used to, like dancing and partying. Even though the song is hilarious, it's still got a good beat that you can sing along to again and again.

FAVOURITE LINE- 'I can count on you after all we got up to'

Change Your Ticket:
When I first heard this song I thought I was listening to 'Girls' by the 1975, but then Harry started the song and I was pretty surprised. I'm not sure whether Matt Healy had any writing credits on the song or if he gave them any ideas for it, but it sure sounds like it, but it works for them and the song was executed really well. The lyrics are describing when the lads are away from their partners in a different country, they then stay with them for a weekend but then they have to go back home, but the lads don't want them to leave just yet so they ask them to change their ticket home so they can stay longer. Even if it does mean having to wear a disguise when they go out in public to hide from the millions of fans they have around the world.

FAVOURITE LINE- 'Don't play innocent, I know what you meant when you said you'd come over' (oo-er)

Demi Lovato's KOKO show in London

Demi's only solo show that she was doing in London this year took place at the KOKO club in Mornington Crescent on 1st June and I managed to grab two tickets to it, and it may have been a small venue but the whole place was rocking.

She started off the show with her first single from recent album DEMI, Heart Attack, which was a great way to begin the show as it got everyone jumping and singing the lyrics back to her. Other songs included classics from her older albums such as The Middle, Catch Me and Unbroken, which the hardcore fans (like myself) went wild for.

She showed the love for her UK fans by changing the lyrics of Made in the USA to Made in the UK, which everyone went crazy for.

And she didn't miss out the song that every single Frozen fans love, Let It Go, and she even brought up a younger fan who had dressed up as Elsa especially for the show, and her name was KOKO! can you believe the irony?

 After jumping into the crowd during Neon Lights, Demi left the stage just as the crowd started chanting for an encore, and she didn't disappoint. She ran back on stage to perform the heart jerker Skyscraper which got everyone waving there phones in  the air. She finished with Give Your Heart a Break which got the whole venue jumping. This girl really knows how to put on a good performance, she sings live fantastically and hits every high note perfectly, who wouldn't love her?

I would definitely go to see her live again, come back to the UK Demi!

Ella Henderson Chapter One Album Review

Fresh off the Xfactor, Ella Henderson had dropped her debut album 'Chapter One' which feature number one single Ghost, new single Glow and her next single Yours. It shot straight to number one, knocking Ed Sheeran off the top spot.

The deluxe edition of the album includes 18 tracks and they're all equally as good as the others. The message behind 1996, the year Ella was born is quite a heart felt one, reminiscing about growing up with her family, even mentioning a childhood best friend, which I'm sure a few girls that age can relate to, I know I can. The album features a mix of slow and faster numbers, but the majority are ballads which are Ella's strongest point, but she perfects the faster ones too, particularly in Billie Holiday and The First Time which are ones that you'd belt out in the shower. The most beautiful song on there is undoubtedly Beautifully Unfinished, which is a soft, slow ballad that really shows of Ella's amazing voice. It's something to take a listen to if you need to relax and unwind.

Being this is her first album, she's done a brilliant job with it, I'm sure Simon Cowell can agree with me on that one too.

FAVOURITE TRACKS- Hard Work, Rockets, The First Time and Glow

Ed Sheeran Thinking Out Loud video review

When this video was released the first this I said was 'I didn't know Ed Sheeran could dance so well!' Which was probably the question on a lot of peoples lips, but this guy is multi talented, what's not to live about him.

Bravo to Ed Sheeran for this beautiful video, the dance itself was amazing, even incorporating some of the lyrics into the dance steps, but the way that the routine flows well with the song. The lighting made it look even more romantic as well, the lady he was dancing with is very lucky indeed. The song reached number 1 in the UK charts which just shows how popular it is, it's already been named my mum and step dads 'our song' so it's definitely one to listen to if you ever wanted to show how much you love someone. If I ever got the chance to dance with Ed Sheeran, I wouldn't say no.

Taylor Swift Blank Spaces video review

Following her hit single from the new album '1989' Taylor Swift has dropped her new video for upcoming single 'Blank Space', and I have to admit, it's a little strange.

The song is about relationships (no surprise there really) but it focuses on how t-Swizzle is trying to show that she's how the media makes her out to be., and that sometimes her relationships end because of the guy that she was with, not her. She does portray herself as a bit of a crazy lady with the make up running down her face, the psychotic look she has on her face and almost using voodoo on the guy with an apple, but it works with the lyrics of the song. The lyric 'got a long list of ex lovers, who'll tell you I'm insane' makes her out to be the person that the media portrays her to be, but I think she's trying to make fun of that in this video because it's likely that she's only dated a few of the guys who she's been linked with (although we all know she dated Harry Styles)

The video is great really, like I said, a little insane, but that's what she was going for in the first place so it goes with the song lyrics and to create the narrative that she wanted to stars. Four for you, Taylor four for you.
