For anyone who is following this blog, I don’t update it as much as I used to.

I have a new project on the go called Theatre in Scotland.

It is a website which aims to promote theatre productions throughout the country regardless of genre or whether it is professional or amateur.

It can be found at www.theatreinscotland.co.uk

Hope to see you there.

Arriving at Hampden stadium on the morning of Saturday 9^th January,  later than planned due to hideous road conditions, I joined the back of the (thankfully rather short and indoors) queue.

I’d dragged my dad along for moral support. Well, really he had volunteered because he didn’t trust me to drive in that weather. I don’t blame him.

The Stage published an article at the end of October telling of a breakthrough in downloads for theatre.

We all know we can download films and music easily enough and watch TV programmes on such wonderful technological advances as Sky+, Virgin Media +, On Demand, etc.

However, for the theatre fan there weren’t many options other than physically going out to your local theatre to watch a show.

With winter nights drawing in what better place to meet up for a girly chat than in a lovely coffee shop on the coast? The girly chat was with singer/songwriter, Yvonne Lyon, the coffee shop was her favourite place to write songs and you’d never have guessed we hadn’t met before this moment. 

However, with a lot in common including a love for hot chocolate we settled down to talk about the ABCs…Album, Burnsong and Charity work. Read more

X Factor Final Live Blog!! <—- click this link for the live blog!

I’d like to introduce you all to a website I’ve been a member of for two years now. It won’t appeal to everyone but I thought it was a great idea.

Singsnap.com is an online karaoke site.

It’s not JUST a karaoke website though. You can record a song and post it to allow anyone over the world to hear you. You can also sing live in chat rooms with other users. Read more

X Factor Live Blog <—- click this link for the live blog!

This week the contestants are performing two songs each, one Take That song, one Elton John song. This could be interesting, first up are the Take That songs, then the Elton ones.

GIRLS

Stacey Solomon – “Rule the World” – Stacey has such a powerful voice and to hear  her hit the low notes at the beginning was nice, they’re tough notes for a girl to sing. Also, due to the key change the song is all up and down with high and low notes, extremely tough to do but she’s doing really well.

“Something About the Way You Look Tonight”- It took me a while to realise what this song was. She is singing it well but it’s not my favourite performance of hers. I feel she sang the Take That song better. Some good notes but overall I feel it was very average.

Jeeeeez her singing’s lovely but I struggle to understand a single word when she talks. I really wonder how she doesn’t hyperventilate.

OVER 25S

Olly Murs – “Love Ain’t Here Anymore” – One of my favourite TT songs. Olly is good, but the way he’s saying “here” is grating. He avoided the really high notes but then did a relatively high and long note so I’ll cut him a little bit of slack. I still prefer him to Danyl so fingers crossed his Elton song impresses me more.

“Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting)” – Not one of the Elton songs I know as well as others, but it’s definitely an Olly song, he’s getting properly into the swing of things, especially with all the half naked ladies acting as ring girls. This outfit is much better too. *swoon* Read more

Sorry for the lack of Saturday night blog again, social life and more urgent uni work got in the way, stealing my time so I couldn’t watch it before the results show. Again, this is another reason why there’s no live blogging. Next week though? If I figure it…

My guesses for bottom 2 this week

I think the bottom two this week will be:

John & Edward

Danyl Johnson

Group performance this week: “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go”

A very colourful performance tonight – neon everywhere and cheese, cheese, cheese with the song. Can’t believe we’ve gotten rid of half of the contestants already. I definitely prefer Lloyd’s hair the way it is now, so cute.

Susan Boyle Performance  – “Wild Horses”

The legend that is Su-Bo is singing her song and to be perfectly honest I’m not majorly impressed. Read more
