LITTLE MIXs GET WEIRD TOUR

M A R C H  23rd 2016 came around and I was ready to GET WEIRD with Little Mix!

The curtain that was up when while we were waiting for Little Mix

I have thought to myself that I would write a review on the Get Weird Tour. I never knew you could actually write a review on a show but now I do... and I am going to do one so....

HERE WE GO

Wednesday 23rd March 2016 at the Motorpoint Arena Nottingham (formally the Capital FM Arena Nottingham), Little Mix were there to bring the magic.

It had come around so fast and I was so happy it did!

I have seen them before 2 years ago when they came to Nottingham for their Salute Tour and I'm not ashamed to say this but I did cry through the whole show for that tour. Luckily this time I didn't cry all the way through but yes, I did cry...

I have to admit I was VERY surprised at how close we were, we were right in the middle of the floor, which was awesome. BUT one tinny thing I always forget is that I'm sort of small so I did have a wee bit of trouble seeing but I'm used to it.

So I didn't take any pictures of the first support act but there name was JAGMAC. Now I did like there voices but, and I know it wasn't really there fault, they had sound malfunction so they had to do 2 acapellas. 

Nathan Sykes performing

Next was Nathan Sykes. I have to apologize for the bad quality of picture... I was close ish but I still had to use the zoom so most of the pictures may be like this.
On the bright side he was so good! He bought a women up on stage and then she got ENGAGED! They stayed up on stage and danced to 'Over and Over Again'. It was the cutest thing ever. 
However if it happened to me I think I would be so embarrassed but that's just me.


8:05pm came and Nathan went off stage and we then had to wait about half an hour for Little Mix. They were playing music videos before to help the time go quicker. Some people sang along to the music playing. THEN 'Black Magic' music video came on and the whole arena began to sing along and I thought Yeah they'll come on after this but they didn't. 
Half way through a music video the music stops but the lights don't go down like normal. On the screens they were showing us in the crowd, sadly I didn't get shown, while they played Beyonce 'Run the World (Girls)'. We all sang along waiting to see ourselves.
The song ended. 
The lights went down. 
The arena exploded with screams and music began. Out jumped Little Mix from the floor, with harnesses on so they went extra high. 

Little Mix's Get Weird Tour Setlist

There costumes were so bright and would sparkle when the lights hit them, which was all the time as lights were always on them. 

So here are two videos i uploaded to my YouTube channel: 

The first one is Change Your Life. I had planned to record all of this song as it means a lot to me and it did get me through some hard times in school.

The second one is Little Me. Again this really helped me and it made me a little more confident. 

The reason I wanted to have these videos is so when I'm sad or feeling a little down, or just had a bad I can just play these and I can remember the concert and be reminded to be... Me.

Michael Clifford

I only have one thing that I didn't like... was during Lightning and DNA they had the fake flame effect. I am also a fan of 5SOS (5 Seconds of Summer) and when Michael Clifford got injured by one, I didn't like them anymore. Also Calum Hood burnt his arm on one but it wasn't as bad.
Little Mix weren't close to it but obviously it looked like it from the crowds point of view. 

My friend, who went with me, said that it was too long. I can see where she is coming from, they sang a lot of songs and had a few breaks. I think it was the breaks that make it seem longer but they have them to change there outfits. 

There was a project that went on where you had to hold up a heart during Wings. Not a lot of people did it which was a shame. Or they could of done and I didn't notice.

I only caught 2 pieces of confetti and I was more protective over them while trying to get out of the arena than my phone or keeping up with my friend. 


So to finish off I have included my snapchat story from the concert its not the whole concert, it was really just Nathan Sykes and maybe the opening of Little Mix. Enjoy. 
Sorry if you can hear me singing, I'm a good singer I swear...

Thanks for reading! See you soon

ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

Trailer review! 

ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS has released another trailer and I have decided to talk about it! 

I absolutely loved the first film, the colours and the consumes where AMAZING! 

So here's the trailer for Alice Through the Looking Glass:

Here's another trailer that has been released:

So that was bloody brilliant! I have waited for this for a very very long time! 

When I first found out that they were doing another I was over the moon. And I have been waiting ever since for this to happen. It feels like it's taken so long, and I know it takes a while to make films. But I guess that what makes it more exciting, waiting for the first trailer to be released and then the film! However sometimes you can feel disappointed, perhaps not by the trailer but by the actual film…

Out of the 2 trailers attached my favorite is the second. I'm not really sure why, maybe because its new. I like the music too.
I have a thing about soundtracks to films. Obviously the sound is as equally as important as whats on the screen.

So what I noticed straight away is that the colours have slightly changed. Perhaps this is something to do with Tim Burton not directing this time. But it thing it is also to show how time has passed since Alice's last visit. Especially now the White Queen is you know... Queen. 
I think this is one of the reasons why I love these films so much. The colours.

I feel like the colours play a part in transporting you into the world of wonderland. The costumes and make-up, and colours of them, make you believe in wonderland and I really feel like when I watch this film and the new trailer that I am being transported into another world, just through the colours. I know it sounds a bit weird but I do feel this way. The colours of the film are so bright, weird and wonderful, that it feels like another world.

To me, I don't feel like the trailer has given much away. Obviously it has given things away but there are so many questions that are left open for the audience to wonder about until the film. I for one are SOOOOOOOOO excited to see it. 

I'm even thinking about pre-booking my tickets so I can see it on May 27th when it comes out.
One thing I have always wanted to go to is the very first showing and normally that's at midnight, or just after. What some cinemas do is, if the new film is following one from the another, they will show the one before and then the new one. One of the things I defiantly wan to do is this.
Or go to a premier, to see the actors and directors there, even dress up. That would be awesome.
Or go to Comic-Con. This is my ultimate goal to do. Go to America and go to Comic-Con, just like they did in the movie called Paul. 

Anyway...

I seriously can not wait for ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS its going to be amazing! 

Alice Through the Looking Glass is in cinema's May 27th

Thanks for reading! See you soon

#GETWELLSOONDYLAN

GET WELL SOON DYLAN O'BRIEN 

So this is just a quick post from my phone as I just wanted to say that I hope he's okay and that he'll make a speedy recovery...

The media has said that he fell of the set of a broken train, while filming for The Death Cure, and then hit/run over by a car. He has multiple injuries but is said to make a speedy recovery. 

So this is from Kaya Scodelario and I'm going to go on her word not the media medias as they always make it sound worse than it actually is. 

James Dansner has now cleared things up… I will take there word for it not the medias…

GET WELL SOON DYLAN!!! Love you lots!

Only a quick post to stop me from worrying and stuff... Thanks for reading

THE MAZE RUNNER

T H E  M A Z E  R U N N E R was released in 2014 and is based on the novel by James Dashner. As you know from my previous post on Teen Wolf, I was going to be doing a post about The Maze Runner. I have been waiting to do it for a while! So here it is!! You all know how I came across The Maze Runner (Nash Grier mentioned it in one of his vids) and I saw another article that asked questions about some things in the film, so I decided to answer them... There aren't many questions so I'll give you a little bit of info before I start.

• Director: Wes Ball
• Stars: Dylan O'Brien, Kaya Scodelario, Will Poulter, Thomas Brodie-Sangster
• Release Date: September 2014

Once again I have only put 4 people who star in it because we'll be here forever reading through the cast list. However if you want to here's IMDb. 

So...

The questions that people may not understand. In these answers I will be referring to the book and I think if you are a little confused, I recommend reading the books. 

How did Gally follow Thomas and the others after they left the Maze?

When I watched the film I didn't even wonder how Gally got there, I just assumed it was by magic.......

OR that he followed Thomas in there to try and get them back but once reading the book I understand.

A griever

A N S W E R : What the film missed out was that at night, which the doors where close to closing anyway when Thomas and the others left, Grievers (creatures that roam the maze at night) came into the Glade and took him into the maze. Where Gally obviously fought to survive. 

Gally played by Will Poulter and his amazing eyebrows

Why did he want to kill Thomas all though they had escaped?

I cried a lot in the scene... I still cry when I watch it now although I've watched it over (way over) 50 times...

A N S W E R : In the 3rd book you are told by Gally (SPOILER yes he's alive) the reason as to why he tried to kill Thomas but killed Chuck. Chuck jumped in front of Thomas. But its not all it seems. The group thinks he had been stung by a Griever, however he was not. It was, of course, W.C.K.D. They are able to control them, but you only find this out in the 3rd book! He was forced to say and do all of those things. If you think that was wicked (see what I did there) the also controlled Chuck to make him jump in front of Thomas. Personally I believe they did this to drive Thomas and the group. To give meaning as to why they want to leave. 

If W.C.K.D is meant to be good, then why make it sound like 'wicked'?   

In the second film you understand what the name means 'World Catastrophe Killzone Department'. 

A N S W E R : In the book the real name is W.I.C.K.E.D. Which stands for 'World In Catastrophe Killzone Experiment Department'.

I think they changed it in the films for a reason. It would make it too obvious what they were doing when they were told the real name of W.C.K.D. They can't really help what there abbreviation of the name sounds like but there is again meaning to it. James Dashner defiantly meant it (obviously). I also think that one of the reasons behind it is so you trust them even less, even in the first film.

Why didn't the helicopter rescue the boys from inside the Glade? 

(Some of) The Glade

The Glade is where all the boys live and the maze surrounds it. 

A N S W E R : The helicopter didn't land in the maze as it would defeat the object of the test or phase 1 as Ava Paige calls it. There are lots of dead bodies where they are supposed to be controlling the maze and that was also part of the plan, which is to make them believe that they are safe. 

They possibly had something else to monitor them to see when to send the people in to 'save' them. As they needed everything to work out properly, according to the plan.

Why did Thomas and Minho try to save Alby if he was already stung?

That was a gripping moment when Thomas ran in the maze. But this whole scene is different to the book and the whole concept of getting stung. 

A N S W E R : In the book they already have the serum, which doesn't cure the flare, it cures whats in the Grievers sting. Which is similar but not the same (I would imagine). And also most of the Gladers are immune to the Flare which is why they are apart of the experiment. In the book they have to get Alby back to the Medjacks (doctors of the Glade if you like) so they can give him the serum. They know it works as Gally has gone through the Changing (which is what they call it when you've been stung, you get some of your memories back), also explaining why hes so cranky all the time. 

Kaya, Will and Dylan

In the film however, that's really up to you to decide. I like to believe its apart of Thomas' personality. He can't just stand around and watch someone get trapped in the maze, so he has to do SOMETHING to try and prevent it. Also its not just Alby in the maze its Minho. Minho has just spent all day running through the maze and now he will have to run all night to try and survive, which isn't likely as no one has ever survived a night in the maze. He wants to help Minho too.

The Maze Runner cast dancing as per usual

Thanks for reading! See you soon!

TEEN WOLF

T E E N  W O L F  season 5 has come to a close. I am truly sad about this, I have no clue what I will be doing on Wednesday mornings without Teen Wolf. I really did give me motivation in the morning to get up...

Information on Teen Wolf:

• Creator: Jeff Davis
• Stars: Tyler Posey, Dylan O'Brien and Holland Roden



Tyler, Dylan and Holland

• Summary: A teen called Scott (Tyler Posey) is attacked by a werewolf and inherits the curse on himself, along with the enemies that will come along with it. However he will not fight them alone, his pack will help him, but not all of them are werewolves. 
• Channel Aired On: MTV

I have only listed 3 stars, there are so many more cast members in the show, however, these 3 amazing people are the only 3 to be in all 5 seasons. (Also meaning they're the highest paid). I have also attempted to summarize 5 whole seasons into one. With the help of the amazing website IMDb. 
Some of you reading this may think "Oh god its just a stupid teenager show" BUT you are mistaken! Yes this is based on teenagers, the only difference is its not like Twilight (no offence to Twilight lovers I am one myself). Yes there are love stories in this but that is what every TV show/Movie needs right? 
This show does start off very happy and the villains aren't that hard to defeat, until Season 3. When Season 3 hits, it becomes much darker and sadder...

How did I come across it?
I was watching one of Nash Grier's videos on YouTube and he mentioned a book called The Maze Runner, he also the film was coming out. I thought "ooo sounds interesting" so I looked at the trailer. LOVED IT!! So then I became obsessed (well not obsessed but fangirly), but that is for another time. Nash also mentioned Dylan O'Brien. I was like "Who's that" so I googled him. I had already seen The Internship with him in it, but I watched it again and I came across Teen Wolf. I was a little obsessed with Twilight at the time... I searched Teen Wolf on my TV and there it was on catch up. BUT only the second season. I decided to watch it anyway... Conclusion: I WAS IN LOVE! And this all happened before The Maze Runner was out...

The sad news is I can no longer watch it on TV as it doesn't get shown in England (I think I got lucky watching it on TV the first time). Therefor I do have to watch it online. However Jeff (the creator) knows that a lot of us fans in the UK (or anywhere that's not the US) watch it like this. 
I have signed a petition online to get it shown here...


As we have come the the end of season 5 (try not t cry) I decided to dedicate this post to them...

I googled Teen Wolf before writing this and one article that stood out was from MTV and it asked "Who Was Lydia's 'Teen Wolf' Savior: Parrish or Stiles?" 

This is what I wanted to talk about. I haven't read the article only the question. The reason being is that I want to answer it with my own views and not be influenced by the ideas in the article (Don't worry I will add the article link in at the end). 

One of my favorite moments on the show

Season 5 Episode 16. Lydia was finally saved from Eichen House. Stiles came up with the plan to get her out. Or 2 plans. Plan A, which never works, and Plan B. Along with Stiles going into Eichen House to save her, the rest of the pack do too, Scott, Liam, Kira and Malia. Stiles can not do it alone, he's only human (literally the only human left in Beacon Hills). 
Stiles finds Lydia with the help of not only the pack but Theo (a bad guy, don't trust him..He's hot but he's an ass). 

This is then where Parrish comes in. But first a little more back story...
Lydia has had a hole drilled through her head, this is to amplifier her powers of a Banshee. None of the other Banshees Dr. Valack has done this too survived. They were consumed by there power. 

Okay so this is where Parrish is NEEDED. He is a Hellhound. Both Banshee's and Hellhound's are linked supernaturally to death. This means that the Hellhound inside of Parrish knew that Lydia's scream right before she would be consumed fully by her power, would cause A LOT of damage. To prevent this Parrish wrapped his whole body around her just in time to 'muffle' the scream. Ultimately saving her too.  
The reason I said the Hellhound inside of Parrish is because they aren't fully aware of each other, they aren't connected in a way.

So now you are probably thinking "then Parrish saved her" there is one detail I have not told you...

Stiles plan to get them into Eichen house was through body bags, as the hospital was shut down and the only place to store bodies was Eichen House. However Eichen House knows all the Deputies therefor they needed a real one. Can you guess who Stiles chose? Parrish, to drive the van. Also I think that the reason Stiles chose Parrish was not only because his dad would say no to the idea but he knew that the only way to stop the scream from a Banshee was a Hellhound. Making sure Parrish was in the right place at the right time, just in case anything went wrong. Which it did as Theo's pack turned up... It's a good job he did otherwise Stiles wouldn't of been able to find Lydia in the tunnels. 

THEREFOR... my conclusion is that it was really Stiles who saved Lydia, Because without Stiles' well thought out plans, they wouldn't of been in the right place at the right time. But I can also understand how it was a group effort with Stiles as the brains if you like... 

Lydia was saved and she is safe and sound until season 6. God help us all...the feels!!!
