Somebody To You

So The Vamps just dropped their new music video “Somebody to You” featuring Demi Lovato  literally hours ago! Let’s just say there have been some mixed opinions. I am going to be doing a post ALL about everything vamps which will be up on Sunday so keep an eye out for that!

Within the video we see the 4 boys messing around in LA playing football and eating (the usual) then the band holds a small gig on the beach. The whole video has a really fun summer vibe to it, which I LOVE! The boys really worked hard on this track and the shooting took a couple of days much to our anticipation as daily they released a short Instagram video counting down the days to the release.

The song is called “Somebody to you” so let’s be honest we expected some girls to be in it, Brad had already kissed a girl in their “Can we dance” video so why was there an issue? Well... I think now there are a lot more female fans that adore the boys and will get jealous even though there is no kissing in this video they is A LOT of flirting and I must admit I was a bit jealous when I saw Laura Marano she truly is beautiful!

I think the reason the video received mixed opinions is because the girls are “perfect” they’re shown in bikinis and shorts throughout. I mean yes it’s LA and yes its hot but you know what I mean. A lot of the “Vampettes” are teenage girls who will feel self conscious anyway and may feel like they will never be good enough. Many girls fanaticise about meeting or dating a band member and they might now feel like that dream will never come true. You might be saying “Jess is this not all a bit extreme loads of music videos have girls in bikinis” and yes I agree, however the boys have a massive impact on their fans and they should know this and taken it on board. I understand that they didn’t direct the shoot or choose the girls however; they will have had some say and might have even expected this kind of reaction.

Let’s just talk about Demi Lavato for a second. She looked SO GOOD in this video! We all know that Demi is an incredibly talented artist and she features on this track and it AMAZING!

Personally I love this song and I do love this video and I hope that many others will too as they have worked incredibly hard on it and personally I am incredibly proud of them.

Maleficent

Hey everyone!

Today is Sunday which means its "Review Sunday"

So as you will know Disney have a new film called “Maleficent” which is in theatres NOW! I went to see it with a few friends on Tuesday. We were sat 3 rows from the front as the screen was jam packed of Disney fans all super excited to see Angelina Jolie rocking wings and horns.

Maleficent is a new spin on the old classic Sleeping Beauty. The film is from “the villain” Maleficent’s perspective so you get a really different feel to the story. The plot itself is very different and you see Maleficent go through a range of emotions as you follow her story which has never been told.  A beautiful classic is now a 3D wonder for all ages.

We planned to watch it in 2D but the only 2D showing was sold out so we went for the later 3D showing, I’m not a massive 3D fan myself but honestly it was totally worth it. It wasn’t the kind of 3D where things fly at your face and you’re constantly on edge the entire time. It was the kind of 3D where all the colours were brighter and appeared almost magical, almost as magical as Angelina Jolie’s cheekbones. I am not joking when I say I had eyebrow and cheekbone envy. Every single female in that film had PERFECT eyebrows I couldn’t help but stare. Well done make up department.

If I was to rate this film I would give it “4 stars” because, it was made beautifully and was incredibly enjoyable. But the issue I had was that it was meant to be from a different perspective of what happened in the old classic Sleeping Beauty however, Disney changed the story line to reveal a plot twist which was good but personally I would have preferred it if they stuck to the original story line. But other than that it was excellent and I would recommend going to see it.

I am a massive Disney fan myself and I defiantly loved this film and shall be purchasing it on DVD. The recent animated Disney film Frozen has caused a lot of hysteria around the world and I’m sure that Maleficent will do the same! Another amazing Disney film that will be added to the collection.

Note: These is not my image it’s an official Disney poster for the film.

Birthday Bonanza

Hey Everyone!

I AM FINALLY 17! And after such a long wait I can finally do.....nothing. I could learn to drive if I wanted, which I don’t.  Anyway yeah my birthday that’s what I was talking about. The big one seven, seventeen my birthday was on the 29^th of May... just like every year but this year was special! It was the day after I’d seen the wonderfully handsome 5 member British boyband One Direction. 

I didn’t get a lie in like I wanted as my father came crashing through my door at 8 in the morning, yes 8 AM screaming “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” and once I was awake just left. He just walked away. So a grumpy Jess who hardly got any sleep was awakened at 8 in the morning unable to get back to sleep so I pulled myself out of bed and hour later at about 9am after lying there doing the usual routine of Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr and getting that feeling of being Facebook famous from all the birthday posts you receive. Yes I do still use Facebook. Judge me.

So at 9am I finally scrambled myself into my parent’s room where my dad had already left for work, my brother was still in bed so it was just me and my mum (which I’m not complaining about) who was getting ready to leave for the day. As you can tell family time is not morning time. After I had received my favourite perfume and an incredibly cute pink sheep, which unfortunately wasn’t real but a pet pink sheep would be utterly fantastic. I wasn’t “showered with gifts” (not that I was expecting to be) but I had already been given One Direction tickets! And if you don’t think that’s the best gift ever then unfortunately you are wrong.

So my birthday plans for the day was me and “the girls” were going for a picnic just at the local park. Yeah we’re cool. As it had rained ALL day the day before (which we were out in all day, no regrets.) the grass was soaking and none of us really felt like sitting on wet grass. So we found a small sheltered concreted place which we call “The Pavilion” I have no idea why we call it that, that’s not its name.

So we set up camp in the shelter where I was “showered with gifts” which I am incredibly grateful for, but let’s just say they know me better than I know myself. I got A LOT of One Direction stuff which included : A pillow, mints, a bracelet (which I haven’t taken off), an unofficial DVD which features Diva Fever and if you don’t know who they are you better find out, a singing card and I also had received a beautiful 1D top from Beth on the 27th so that I could wear it to the concert.  Safe to say I like One Direction.

I also got a lot of other stuff which I also incredibly thankful for! Including: Vamps bracelets, Lord of the Rings books, Vamps poster, chocolate, Percy pigs and lots more. Thank you so much girls.

Also if you think your best friends are the best then I am afraid you’re sadly mistaken. Ellie got me a singing One Direction card, it speaks to me and wishes ME a happy birthday not you me! But what is more amazing is that Beth and Amy made me this AMAZING card which was coloured in beautifully and has a picture of Prince Eric’s (my favourite prince sorry William) body with Harry Styles’ head its truly magical and when you open it up you’re greeted with an A3 collage of pictures of us. I’m not going to lie it made me cry, much to their satisfaction I might add.

Beth and Amy weren't the only ones who made me a card. Because myself and Joanne watch A LOT of films we know a lot of quotes from them. So many in fact that her entire card was made with our favourite quotes. Note this isn't all the quotes this is our favourite ones! So yes there is a lot. 

Right okay people it’s about to get emotional #PDA My girls mean literally the world to me we’re like a little family of annoying teenage girls who love boy bands and for them to put so much time and effort into my cards and my gifts is absolutely incredible and I love them so much for it. One Direction wouldn’t have been so amazing if I didn’t spend it with Amy, Beth and Ellie. My birthday wouldn’t have been so good if I didn’t share it with *insert a list of names that will mean nothing to you* but honestly all jokes a side they mean a hell of a lot to me.

Now that’s over and we can all shake off the sop (that sounds disgusting I apologise for that) here’s some images from the picnic. And obviously being us we cant get a nice photo to save our lives. I apologise on behalf of all of us for our faces. 

After my picnic I went out of a family meal! Me, my parents, brother, Nanna and Auntie Claire went to my favourite little restaurant “Shiremoor house farm” not much exciting happened here we just had general chit chat and I eat my favourite meal duck salad and chips, I can’t even physically put into words how good it is. Here’s a picture and you can image it. You’re welcome.

I had an amazing birthday! Roll on next year! 

Fangirl Feels

Hello Everyone!

So after a 4 year wait last week I FINALLY saw the biggest boyband in the world One Direction in real life! Yes Harry Styles was in the same room as me and now knows I exist.

On the 28^th of May I went to see the boys at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland and honestly it was one of the best nights of my life. The lights, the stage, the crowd and the boys there was just so much to take in at once it was incredibly overwhelming I may have cried... a lot.

So I had a very long day ahead of me as myself and 3 friends: Beth, Amy and Ellie decided it would be a good idea to go for 9am and honestly it was a great idea. Myself, Amy and Beth had decided to go and look around the stadium a couple of days before hand since we’d never actually been even though we lived like an hour away, but we wanted to know where everything was, where we were queuing to save time on the day etc and to make sure everything was perfect. Which it was. We made 2 new friends: Jade and Morgan who were lovely and we spent the whole day queuing with them making the day go by a lot faster! It rained all day so the crowd was a sea of ponchos (which Luke Hemmings from 5 Seconds of Summer commented on) as the stadium is roofless over the crowd everyone was soaking but we were not going to let that stop us from singing our little hearts out.

What we had a long wait of course we needed to take a few selfies. 

After a spectacular 9 hour wait, everyone already soaked from the rain out walked the 4 member Australian boy band 5 Seconds of summer. I thought Ellie had died next to me she had been hit by a serious case of the fan girl feels. The beautiful boy band from down under had once again tagged along on One Directions tour to  get the crowd excited which honestly wasn’t hard. After everyone calmed down (slightly) they started playing and it was amazing. I hadn’t seen them live before and had only listened to  a couple of their songs prior to the concert. I had been told that they were good live but I defiantly under estimated how good! If you get a chance to go and see them I HIGHLY recommend it. I am super excited for their debut album to come out in June!

Once 5 Seconds of Summer had finished their set the crowd was rearing to go and couldn’t wait to catch a glimpse of the boys. So, to keep the crowd buzzing they played the famous “Macarena” and all around the stadium you could see people doing the dance all in sync. Was a magical moment shared by all.

The lights started flashing and everyone knew what was about to happen. Finally, after a tremendously long wait the 5 boys everyone was waiting for were about to step out in front of 60 thousand people in the pouring rain. The video of them travelling across the world started playing and the screams began. I feel sorry for the boys sometimes even with their ear pieces in the crowd must be deafening. Within moments One Direction were right there in front of me singing Midnight Memories, I was unsure as to what to do with myself at this point so I sort of just buried my head in my hands screaming and crying.  Some may call me weird but others a professional fangirl. Harry Styles was about 3 people in front of me if that isn’t a dream come true I don’t know what is. I didn’t manage to get any photos from the concert because I was too busy recording Harry Styles dancing, eating bananas and other wonderful stuff he does. Sorry not sorry. Like I said before Harry Styles knows I exist, well here’s the story which I will be telling until I die he was in front of me and we made eye contact for like 10 seconds people then I smiled at him and he smiled back. Also when he threw his water into the crowd and me and Beth were hit by it and blessed with this holy water from Mr Styles. Was a beautiful moment for everyone involved.

 

I mean Harry Styles was incredibly close to me this is hardly zoomed. It was magical.

 After the boys had finished their set which I never wanted to end the crowd started flooding out all at once trying to get home. Thankfully there had been more Metros put on for the concert however it still took hours to get home and I didn’t finally arrive in my bed until half 1 where a happy Jess lay there unable to sleep as I was still super excited and unable to believe what had just happened. I think it will take a while for this to sink in!

Because I was in my own world I didn’t take any photos just videos however the other girls did so thank you very much to Beth, Amy and Ellie for these photos, and a couple of print-screens from my videos. 

Yes that is the famous Harry Styles eating a banana on stage. Hey when you've got that much money and previously dated Taylor Swift you can do what you want. But not drugs. 

Don't know how I feel about Snapback Styles, maybe stick to the bandanas.

Finally here’s a just some pictures from the night! Only a few days later and I already want to re-live it
