The Best Song Ever : One Direction Uncovered

I know this was our expression when seeing this video, who agrees with me right? 
So It has been on repeat since the release ( and is my voice mail tone) and maybe just listening to it right now and a million times on tv today not that I'm complaining ;) 

But there are some things a lot of the directioners did miss? 
I wonder did you notice all of these ? 


But honestly this is something that is going to stick with me I mean it can't get anymore significant. 

Louis takes the Hollywood picture and throws it to the floor signifying that the media and stigma of Hollywood truly means nothing to them. Then the boys replace it with a poster of them. In the exact same place where the picture was. They've done it without wearing the clothes they've told them to wear. Acting the way they tell them to act or following the stereotypical boy band path. Can't writes " this is us" over the picture. The boys step back and smile. They are proud of who they are and they don't have to do it anyone's way. It's their own way of conquering the world. Without changing who they are and it's a beautiful thing. 

The dressing up of the various people of the management the boys disobeying and not listening to them. Symbolises that the management don't control them. Again this is them. The boys who do what they want with the help of management and they don't need to argue with the management. So with the fans that blame management the boys are saying. "THIS IS US!" 



Harry tripping over at the end of the dance scene but makes it totally noticeable and looks to his left in a very awkward way. 

Yup we noticed that styles! 



Now I know that everyone was memorised by Zayn singing and his high notes but did anyone notice the background. Liam hitting Harry Over the head with the vase




Yup Liam isn't a puppy anymore. 



Louis's  dancing. Now everyone who has watched all of the vines, the video diaries, and the interviews. Will notice all of Louis dances, as well as the other music videos.so for a dance sequence in the best song ever makes me laugh to sum up all the other dancing they did in the other music videos as well as Louis's dancing. 



But then they modernise it with joining the trend for... 


In conclusion, One Direction are NOT ! Your average boy band. They have involved bigger and better. I can't wait till the boys grace us with a visit in Australia.

Presenting: Bonnie McKee








This Week, I have really been digging the 29 Year Old Californian  award-winning singer, Songwriter, and Actress and New Upcoming Pop Diva. She is a triple threat and was labelled by Rolling Stone Magazine as "Best Secret Weapon" in 2011.Her Hit Single American Girl I have listened to so many times and I do not regret it one bit. 


Her debut CD was released in September 2004, Titled Trouble. The First Single was called that Somebody. Which showcases her vocal ability and perfect harmonisation. After Warner Brothers Record contract fell through she turned to alcohol and partying. One Morning she woke up and got to work writing her hits. " I had to Climb My Way Back Up" She said about her success.


The First Time I heard her was the video of the Celebrities Lip- Syncing to her song. American Girl. If you haven't watched it you can have a look at it here. Celebrity Lip Sync- American Girl
Celebrities include Kesha, Macklemore, Carly Rae Jepsen, KISS and Jason Derulo. Just to name a few. 

The next one and my favourite video of the lip syncing has to do with the Keep a Breast Foundation. The Warped Tour Video. If you haven't watched it. You Can Watch it here: 
Artists Include, Mindy White, Forever the Sickest Kids, The Summer Set,  Go Radio. Just to name a few on a hilarious tour video while on Warped Tour. 

Doing Research on why she is the secret weapon.This is what makes her so totally cool is that she has teamed up with a lot of people to co write hits. Such as Teenage Dream By Katy Perry and Dynamite By Taio Cruz. She uploaded a video on her Youtube channel singing just some of the songs that she co- wrote. 




Talented, Pretty and Her hair is amazing.

She has Built Herself up to be a bigger and better sensation with the release of  her own Music Video of American Girl.

The incredible contacts she has made now great Friends of hers. And with all that she has Launched herself up to what can only be described as a Pop Diva in the making.

Daylight Hours



                            
As It is winter in Australia, I have to admit like the rest of Australia, I hate the rain and I miss summer. Those times at the beach. Watching the surfers, the young summer loves that blossom. Which reminds me of the upbeat spirit of Daylight Hours. 

Daylight hours are a three piece from Melbourne who started in 2011 and consists of Phil Gruszka, Adam Gruszka, Anthony Ruberto.

Their debut EP "Brand New Tomorrow" was released 2011. And their second EP was released 2013 titled "With You, I'm Home". Which is an ode to the summer time. 

Heartbeat,which is an upbeat catchy sound with Clear Polished vocals, a breakdown for a bridge. Hypnotic riffs and exceptional drum skills, that tie the song together perfectly. Which they said its one of their favourite songs to play live. 

Save me, a softer sound then heartbeat with a deeper message that tells the story of wanting to be saved. The lyrics of this song are catchy and would be a crowd favourite at the concerts. 

And Summer love, saw their debut music video which portrays the song perfectly. The summer feel with upbeat electro dance. It tells the story of a romance. 

With their cover of "Love Is Easy" By McFly. And " Sex On The Radio" By Good Charlotte, Which pushes them to extremes on a new level. 

They have a lot to offer the music scene and have revealed they have a lot of big plans as they continue to grow as a band with their music scene. 

They will  be releasing a new single along with a music video sooner then we thought! Which the audience is anticipating muchly.

Check them out here! :

The evolution of For Our Hero

My love for this band has been so big since the release of Young Wolves. Being a fan of them since those awkward hair days with their hair straighteners. Tonnes of hair spray and watching all the webisodes over and over. I have watched these boys grow as a band and evolve into what can only be described as perfection.

The band consists of Taplin brothers Jay, on vocals and Beau who writes the band's lyrics, Dave Tran and Leon Blair on guitar, while Geoff Taylor and Nax Vee complete the six piece band, playing bass and drums. They are between drums and bass at the moment so I'm unsure on who we have taking Nax's Place. 

I've been to three concerts of theirs and I find myself going to more. The way they put on a show is never the same and that is what I love about it . They can entertain the crowd and put on a show is amazing. They can entertain the crowd and put on a great show . 

So those short stack days. The big hair , the hair straighteners and the tonnes of hair spray , watching the webisodes. The webisodes had an intro song which was someone throw a beach towel cause my heads a swimming . I think it's my favourite for our hero song to date. Even though it wasn't released properly until the basement sessions. 

Threw the looking glass was them finding themselves. With the catchy hits as mister Prozac and white lighter.Most of the songs are catchy, and are sure to be stuck in your head for days. 

After glow combines the raw power of the vocals that  is unleashed contrast of melodic phrasing,  which construct a metaphorical world within a songs. After glow saw a dark 
Yet highly polished pop-soul sound. 

Strange days- was where we saw their first music video for don't  you dare. Which we follow the journey of Jay Taplin through the forest with the band through the council in the woods where he meets a girl. The classic tale of lust and love withdraws between Jay and the girl. 


Young wolves saw the new revolution of For Our Hero. It's for our hero 2.0 bigger and better than ever. With songs like weekends that have the upbeat jazz song harmonising with group vocals at the end of the song. That contrasts with rock inspired tune young wolves where the band team vocals up with lead frontman of The Cab Alex Deleon. 

You've got to admit to live in Beau Taplin's mind would be one fucking adventure. Jay has the voice of an angel. Leon is the friend that everyone wants and you can just talk to him for hours. Dave Tran combines his  melodic guitar riffs with a smile that would melt a girls heart. Geoffrey Mark Taylor gives the best hugs and his intellectual convosations are amazing. This is what brings For Our Hero to the music scene because they are destined for big things. This band keeps getting amazing and I don't know where I would be without them and their music. Thank you. 

If you are like me and Love For Our Hero
