GIRLS ALOUD/TEN TOUR: A REVIEW

So I went to see Girls Aloud on Sunday and it was a pretty amazing night. Amelia Lily opened and she was pretty good at warming up the crowd. When she was announced as support act I was very happy, but like every concert I go to, she wasn't the reason I bought the ticket. The girls (ALOUD) opened up with 'Sound of the Underground' and it was absolute perfection. They finished with 'The Promise', which again, was absolute perfection. Here is a bullet pointed list of the other things I found good and what I didn't find so good.

THE ALOUD

•  THE FUCKING ENTRANCE!!!!
• THEY FLEW ACROSS THE AUDIENCE ON A HUGE 'GIRLS ALOUD' BANNER. Amazing.
• Nicola Roberts .
• Two words. Act Three. It included probably everyone's favourite Girls Aloud songs (Sexy! No No No..., Untouchable, On The Metro and Call The Shots).
• UNTOUCHABLE!!!
• Nicola Roberts.
• They covered the much respected, cultural icon that is, Carly Rae Jepsen.
• Something New was fucking mental.
• Doing 'The Promise' choreography with some stranger.
• BIOLOGY!!!
• Nicola Roberts.

 THE NOT SO ALOUD

• Nadine Coyle's accent.

And that's pretty much my experience summed up. Before I go to watch 'The Devil Wears Prada', here are some Instagram pictures I took during the show. You can follow me on Instagram here.

 BYE!

I'm a Stupid Hoe.

I don't know how to feel. I went to Cardiff to see Nicki Minaj and did two things I regret. Both revolve around love, or the lack of it, and both make me feel like I want to vomit. Mixed emotions without ice cream is very difficult and wouldn't wish it upon anyone. I'm back home in Wales which I think is much needed. Going to clear my mind with my family, friends and wine. Lots of it.

Nicki Minaj was better than expected. In fact I could call myself a Barb if I so feel like it. No? Okay. Highlights included Starships, Beez in the Trap, Pound the Alarm and Monster. I went ape-shit when Monster came on because one is a motherfucking monster. Enough about Nicki Minaj because I still can't believe I went let alone enjoyed every moment of it. Oh, also I was very drunk. Such fun.

After a long, long, LONG night with a 3:30am end, me and my cousin went to sleep with an alarm set for 7. Giving us a whole 3 and a half hours sleep. WOW. SO MUCH SLEEP. HAHAHAHA. *evil face*. This was then followed by a two hour train journey and a 40 minute tube journey. *repeats laughter and evil face*. I was tired and hungover. But the best way to cure a hangover is to go straight back out and do it all again. So we did minus a superstar rapper plus free Dominos Pizza. Yep, the club gave out free Dominos and everything was perfect. Minus the sleep deprivation. But one of my favourite quotes is "No-one looks back on their life and remembers the nights they had plenty of sleep."

I'm now sitting in my living room in Llanelli ready to sleep for my entire visit. Good night. God Bless.
