Sooner or later in life, the things you love you lose

Hey all,
            I've had the laziest, most relaxing 3 days EVER! I did some Christmas shopping in London - OUCH! haha. I went to my Cousin's school Fayre on Friday and I have to be honest - it was rubbish. There was no Father Christmas, No Christmas music, no Christmas tree - it was so depressing! I don't see why they can't do it December...
My iTunes bill came through to my inbox yesterday - £43.75. Should probably cut down a lil.
I chose to call this blog 'Sooner or later in life, the things you love you lose' because they're really powerful words and come from a great song!
My current top 10 songs this week are (In no particular order!):
Happiness - Alexis Jordan
Hello - Beyonce
Love You More - JLS
Overcome - Alexandra Burke
Raining Men - Rihanna & Nicki Minaj
Safe - Westlife
Shine A Light - McFly & Taio Cruz
The Silence - Alexandra Burke
Your Song - Ellie Goulding
Thinking of Me/Sophie - Olly Murs

What are you top 10s this week?

My Album of the week has to be 'Some Kind Of Trouble' James Blunt - It's a really great mix of up-tempo and slow songs and has a good variety of material on there.

This year's X Factor finalists needn't worry if they don't win the competition, as JLS and Olly Murs have proven. JLS came second to Alexandra Burke, who has done well, but have sold nearly double the number of albums than her. Olly Murs' lead single of his debut album went straight to number one, with Joe's stuggling at number 6. Joe's album has dropped out of the iTunes album chart like a lead balloon, along with his single 'Ambitions'. Olly's single 'Please Don't Let Me Go' is sitting tight at number 65 after 3 months in the chart. So statistically, whoever wins will flop, and whoever comes second will triumph eventually. I can imagine them all backstage crying their eyes out 'No, I don't want to win, Mary, you win.... please, not me.' and so on.
Isn't Ellie Goulding doing well at the moment!?! Just goes to show, whoever you are, all you need is the right song. Her debut project didn't do spectacularly well - I didn't know she could sing until I heard 'Your Song' - I thought she was another auto-tune addict. Hopefully her second album will detract from the 'electro' vibe and focus on her vocals more - a bit like Adele.

That's all for now folks, have a great week. I'm looking forward to watching T4's Stars of 2010 at 2:25 this afternoon! Come join me!

Peace xx
