It's Britney, bitch. And the X-Factor, bitch, too.

OK, so just a couple of things I need to talk about. First of all? The freaking fantastic Femme Fatale concert by Britney!!! Absolutely amazing! The UK press are giving her a massive load of criticism at the moment, but no one can say she's 'lost it' after putting on a show like that!! The staging and lighting was incredible, the songs were a good balance of old classics given a new twist with the more recent singles and album tracks, she looked fantastic despite all the tabloids going on about this new 'fat' Britney, and best of all she sang live!! Well, it was a 50/50 split between live and miming, but when she sang live she showed that she does actually have more talent than people are willing to believe! She did get the words wrong at one point during I Wanna Go, oops, but at least it showed that it was live! I sang my little heart out, along with a full, yes full, O2 Arena (not quite sure what the papers were going on about her not selling half the tickets...) and had an all round amazing time! It's Britney, bitch!! Oh, and Joe Jonas, one of her support acts, was actually a really good singer, much better than I'd previously given him credit for. And hot too. With good, strong arms. *daydreams about Joe Jonas*


Check us out on TV!!
Moving on, the next night was X-Factor night, where me, my sister and Richie all went along to watch the filming of the Saturday live show. At 10.45am. Yup, that's right, we we're queuing outside Fountain Studios for 8 or so hours before the show started. Ouch. And the people at the front of the queue (although only 20 people ahead of us) had been there since 6.30am. The crazy bastards. We did have a brilliant time though, it's so much better watching it in the studio than on TV!! Don't know how I'll cope watching it on TV from now on... And we were so close to all the judges, plus Dermot stood right next to us for one of the links he did (we were on TV!! See the picture!!), Alexandra Burke standing in for Kelly, Sinitta was there (wow...) plus one of the hot ones from Nu Vibe, the Joe guy that never made it through judges houses (you know, the one that looked like he was having a seizure every time he performed) and one of The Wanted (they really need to stop following me around...). The performances were all amazing and I had a great time despite my hands hurting from the clapping and sore throat from cheering!! Oh, and the studio is deceptively big on TV, its soooo much smaller than I thought!! Totally worth queuing for all those hours though, would do it again anytime!

That is all.

Favourite songs of the moment:
Bruno Mars - Runaway Baby
Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out
