Sirens

Cher Lloyd's first single off her upcoming album Sorry I'm Late is definitely worth the long wait.  It's such an addicting song.

The song was released on iTunes not too long ago and is a little different from what we're used to getting from her.  Her songs usually contain rap but this one doesn't at all.  It's actually a beautiful song and she sounds amazing as well...as usual.

Vibe On

The magic behind every song is/are the songwriter/s.  You may not know this, but "Loser Like Me" from Glee, Usher's "DJ Got Us Falling In Love," and Vanessa Hudgens's "Say OK" all have something in common - the man who helped write them.

Savan Kotecha is an very talented songwriter and music producer from Austin, Texas.  He writes for so many different labels like Syco Records, Columbia Records, RCA, and Capitol.  He has co-writtern so many hit songs like (but not limited to):

• Justin Bieber - "Beauty and a Beat"
• Vanessa Hudgens - "Say OK"
• Ke$ha - "All That Matters (The Beautiful Life)"
• Victoria Justice - "Beggin' on Your Knees"
• Glee - "Loser Like Me"
• Emblem3 - "Chloe (You're the One I Want)"
• Usher - "Scream"
• Cher Lloyd - "Want U Back"
• One Direction - "Up All Night"
• Britney Spears - "I Wanna Go"
• Maroon 5 - "One More Night"
• Dannii Minogue - "Vibe On"
• Adam Lambert - "If I Had You"

Oath

Well, it is official.  English singer Cher Lloyd married longtime beau Craig Monk on the 18th.

You all know I am a huge fan of the pop star so I am so happy for her and her new husband.  She may only be 20-years-old, but he star has already accomplished so much with her career with number-one singles, top twenty album in five countries, and a sophomore album on the way, Cher has done more than the average 20-something.

Want U Back

With Ur Love

My drawings

Little Mix

I drew this last year.  As you may know, Little Mix is one if my favorite groups so I had to draw each of the members' logos. 

One Direction

My previous explanation is pretty much the same for this picture.  I could not pass up the opportunity to draw the boys.

Cher Lloyd

This one was so much fun to draw because I really just drew any shapes and colored with the first color I saw!

Concerts

I love going to a concert.  I really only enjoy myself, though, if I actually like the singer/band.  You're probably thinking, why would she go to a concert she didn't want to go to? and you're right.  Why would I go to a concert I had absolutely no interest in going to?  There is actually quite a simple answer, though.  A concert, to me, is a concert.  I would never go to a concert for a band I have never heard of, but if I like a couple of songs and the tickets are cheap, why not go?

I'm only 17-years-old, but I have been to my fair share of concerts.  Not necessarily as many as some of my peers have, but I'm proud of my number:

1.  Bon Jovi - My very first concert and it was at Giants' Stadium.

2.  The Police - It was on Halloween at MSG and the three band members were all dressed up for the holiday.

3.  Bruce Springsteen - Izod Center

4.  Bryan Adams - We were four rows from the stage at the PNC Bank Arts center.  George Thorogood was the opening act.

5.  Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band - 2008 at the PNC Bank Arts Center.  Edgar Winter, Billy Squier, and Colin Hay were among the All-Starrs.

6.  Jonas Brothers - I have seen them twice.  Once in 2008 at MSG and the second time at the Izod Center and I was five rows from the stage. 

7.  Miley Cyrus - Saw her in 2009 at the Prudential Center.  The opening act was Metro Station. 

8.  Justin Bieber - 2010 at the Prudential Center and Sean Kingston and Jaden Smith were there as well. 

9.  Cher Lloyd - My school won a concert from her and I got to the venue so early with my friend, we got to be front row!

10.  Amy Grant - I saw her at the Beacon Theatre with my youth group at church during our 30-Hour Famine.

Happy Birthday

As you may know, I got a record player for my birthday. To go along with the record player, I got three records: Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison, John Waite's No Brakes, and Summer Fun Vol. 2. Cher Lloyd's perfume also was a gift to me. It was in fact a very musical day.

To make my birthday even better, I made the school talent show and will be singing the song "Operator" by Jim Croce. When the talent show occurs, I will be posting a video of my performance on YouTube and on my blog for those who are interested in seeing how it goes.

BRAT

I just saw Cher Lloyd perform...in the first row!!! My school won a contest so we got to see her.
She performed five songs: Superhero, With Ur Love, OMG by Usher, Oath, and Want U Back. To be honest, I cried a lot of the time. She is one of my favorite artists so being able to see her perform from the first row was incredible. After she performed, she answered a couple of questions. She was so sweet!
And to make my night better, I was lucky enough to bring home her set list that was taped to the stage. Cher Lloyd stood on it!!
I would like to thank my school and principal Mrs. Jewell for helping to make this happen, Michael, the student who got our school really involved, iPlay America for letting us hold the concert there, and Cher Lloyd for performing for us.
I was star struck and still am.

Stand Behind the Music

I am in love with British singer/songwriter Cher Lloyd.  She was on season 7 of the X Factor and placed fourth on the show.  She soon after was signed by Simon Cowell because of her talent.  I got her album the first week it came out, the beginning of this month, and I love every song.  Most of her songs involve her rapping, but the raps are not at all offensive in any way.  My current favorite song is "Behind the Music", hence the picture above.  I highly recommend buying her album!!
