Mid-Week Rambles

Maroon 5

OH MY GAAWWDDD!!! I think one of the most amazing nights of my life. On Friday I felt like the luckiest girl in the world as I had the privilege of going to see the incredible Maroon 5. If you cannot tell I'm still not over it. I have never been one of those fan girls like Beliebers/Directioners/etc. but I can honestly say I am a... I don't think they have a name for their fans but let's call me a "Marooner" - not the best name oh well.

The supporting act was Robin Thicke and if I'm honest I wasn't too bothered about seeing him as my opinion of him was pretty low but wow how wrong was I and how glad am I that I went early enough to see him. He was so genuine on stage and had an amazing voice. His songs had an old vibe to them (surprinsing I know) and his voice had a gentle warming tone that was really sweet and sincere. If there is ever a chance to see him live again I definitely would go.
He finished his set with "Blurred Lines" which had the entire place dancing and singing. He was the perfect person to ready the audience for Maroon 5.

Now the main event. I think they had me when they came on early, I mean rockstars that are punctual unheard of. I also liked they there were none of these stupid costume changes, I mean I can understand it with women, but why do men need to change into a new outfit during a show? It baffles me - no disrespects to the artists that do this I just find it annoying. 

We were in for a treat, a full hour and a half I think... can't quite remember of singing and a little conversation. 

Adam Levine also seemed really genuine as he joked "We're not a boy band, we're a band band" and when he couldn't stop laughing before singing "She Will Be Loved" which he justified by saying "Stop smiling so much you guys are making me laugh" which made the entire O2 erupt with laughter. All this just made me love him even more than I already did 

*fan girls for a minute and I'm back.

His interaction with the audience made the performance of "She Will Be Loved" brilliant as he divided the arena into two and had half of us sing "And she will be loved, and she will be lo-oved" whilst the other half sang "I don't mind spending every day, out on your corner in the pouring rain". 

I honestly cannot imagine a better feeling than being in such a huge space with thousands of people staring at you singing your lyrics to you. 

My personal favourites of the night were: Lucky Strike, Moves Like Jagger, Payphone and She Will Be Loved.

I had the most incredible night and all I'll say is if you ever get the chance to see them live GO because I guarantee you, you will become a "Marooner" like me!!

Beyoncé Concert

So on the 2nd May I went to see the incredible Beyoncé at the O2. I was in standing, right by the second stage by the VIP section, which after queueing for quite a few hours was well worth the wait.

Not only was I in spitting distance of Beyoncé I also got to see Catherine Jenkins, Kelly Brook, her injured boyfriend Danny Cipriani, who is gorgeous by the way AND Kim Kardashian. I did manage to snap a few photos of the incredible evening and celebs so here's one of the best nights of my life.

It has been one of my life long dreams to see Beyoncé and it was everything I expected and more. I have never seen anyone perform live as well as she did. It was truly amazing and I feel so lucky to be able to go. 

Now of course during the opening act and waiting time before she came on, I may have gone slightly stalkerish and taken a bunch of pictures of Kelly Brook who was letting her hair down, her stunningly hot boyfriend, who spent a lot of the night on the phone, Danny Cipriani and Catherine Jenkins, who had a slightly full face of makeup. The two girls danced all night in the segregated VIP area, where everyone seemed to know everyone. 

Kelly wore a red detailed top, paired with jeans and a pair a leopard print Louboutins. Whilst Catherine was wearing a black top and black jeans, with very heavy eye makeup. The two girls looked pretty and seemed as though they were having a great time.

Kim Kardashian arrived 30 minutes into the performance. She kept her head down and was at the very back of the VIP section. She left early to visit Beyoncé backstage shortly followed by Kelly, Catherine and the posse. 

Although I acted a bit like the paparazzi for the majority of the night I was watching the performance and like I said before it was one of the best nights of my life and it was a privilege to be able to see and be so close to one of my idols.

Thanks for reading everyone, if you managed to get tickets to see her let me know in the comments or send an email.
Much love x
