I'm back! Again! Sorry but I just graduated in a master and things were so chaotic!! I had to finish my thesis and had to deal with my careless professor supervisor.
BTW, recently I was thinking that in the past 2 years I was still listening to the same set of songs, with some temporary obsession for some catchy songs which passed after a couple of weeks.
I felt like lately music was always the same, nothing new, same patterns, same bases... in other words, boring!!
However, in the last couple of weeks, I've rediscovered some artists that I forgot about and also discovered some nice new songs from fresh singers, which is nice! It's always nice explore different music! It's refreshing! Sometimes we're stucked with some songs that just remind us sad or bad things and automatically we feel that way. But sometimes, new music can bring that new energy and can affect our mood in a good or bad way, it depends.
Thanks to a playlist that I heard on BBC Radio 1 I've discovered some new songs that right now are stucked in my head!
The first is the debut single of Harry Styles and the other one is the new song by John Mayer, "Still feel like your man".
Talking about Harry Styles, who came right from a band and now he's working as a solo artist, I was thinking about all those singers that reached fame through a band or group and then start a solo career, leaving behind their band mates and becoming a super star.
The Brits Awards are the most important event for the british music scenario. This means that a lot of singers and musicians are awarded with honours like best british band or singer and more but also they show us a lot of great number of outfits and styles during the red carpet and the performances.
On the 23rd July of 2010, 5 british and irish teenager boys were put together in a boy band called One Direction as contestant at the X Factor UK.
Unfortunately they didn't won, but they gained a lot of fans that supported them till now.
I can say that in five years they became one of the biggest boy band in the world after the great splendour of the 90's bands.
After the X Factor Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Harry Styles aka One Direction began to perform in little concerts that soon became big concerts in even bigger arenas and stadiums with an enormous amount of fans.
I still remember the first time I saw their first video "What makes you beautiful", I thought "Ugh, another boy band of teenagers! But their song is nice". I wasn't a fan but I liked their songs when I randomly listened to them.
While I was listening to their songs, they were becoming each days more and more famous.
They went through dramas, girlfriends, awards, concerts, tours, gossip, fake rumors and all but they're still here.
Last year I randomly listened to the first song of their new album, "Night Changes", after the first listening I couldn't stop! That night I listened to all their new album Four and I loved all their songs!
I was and I am going through a really tough time and listen to them help me, they relax me even if they're targeted as a band for teenager girls. I can't help but I like them, because they're a source of positivity and freshness.
It's amazing see how many fans they have all over the world, and OMG how loud ad crazy (in a good way) they are!!
One Direction, till now, won 188 awards, they made 4 tours, 4 perfums, 4 albums, 12 music videos, 72 songs and 15 singles.
They've lost one member through their trip but they're still together. 4 months ago, Zayn decided to take a break and then leave the band to take care of himself. But some fans took his decision like a betrayal and others tried to understand their idol. It was a really big drama for the fandom.. and you can't imagine how many fanfictions came out! It was insane!
Sometimes their fans go so crazy that no one can explain why they are so frantic and hysterically happy!
Some tried to explain what happens in a fan's brain when she/he listens to One Direction.
Can you imagine how much the fandom freaked out yesterday when Liam wrote a tweet thanking the boys and Zayn? And Zayn replied!
The fans were on fire!
Should we say that beyond their singing skills, they are also so lucky that they are really good looking young men? I can say so. I mean.. Look at them!! Look at them!!!!!
Personally I am a Harry's girl so I freak out just for news about him.
(OMG, why did I just say that?? You're no more a teenager Carol!)
And they're also funny!! Full package, girls!
They reached such a high level of international success that they were invited to perform even at the Arena in Verona, which is one of the greatest honour as an artist!
I live in Verona and I still remember all the screaming coming from the Arena. It was crazy! Unfortunately at the time I liked them but I wasn't a fan so I didn't go to the concert.
They also seem to care to each other a lot, in fact they call each other brother. How cute!
One Direction has a really big potential and they are "exploiting" it very well even if one of the member left.
Now they are the OT4 with many more years to come!!!
But most of all, we need to admit that everyone likes One Direction! How is it possible you never jump and dance to one of their songs? Come on, you can tell me.. ;)
I always loved Monte Carlo! I think it's one of my favourite place ever! I visited it for the first time when I was 14 years old with my best friend and her family for easter's holiday. For me it was like a dream! I stayed in a luxurious hotel and we ate in the most famous restaurants. It was just so WOW!
I came back when I was 18, when I worked as hostess on a cruise ship and I stopped for few hours there and "grab a bite" at the Cafè de Paris. Finally this year I came back to Monte Carlo with my best friend and we stayed on the yatch of her stepfather. (yes, I know I have the best BFF ever!). When I'm in that city, I can breath glamour. It's amazing! Great shops, great food, great landscapes and views!
Right now in Monte Carlo there is the Formula One Grand Prix and of course a lot of celebreties arrived to attend this sporty but at the same time glamorous event.
Cara Delevingne wore a preofessional jumpsuit and tried a real race car. Later she visited the "backstage" with her sister Poppy and in the evening she attended with the McLaren-Honda's pilot Fernando Alonso the TAG Heuer party in a amazing black jump suit and then she was joined by dj Mark Ronson.
During the day she wa spotted talking with Cristiano Ronaldo while going to the cars' boxes.
Also the Jenners' sisters were at Cannes ealier this week and decided to make a stop and visit Monte Carlo. Kylie watched the Grand Prix with her boyfriend Tyga, meanwhile Kendall was with her girlfriends Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid and Hailey Baldwin who were rooting for Lewis Hamilton who unfortunatelly lost the race.
Kendall wore these eclectic and colorful Zimmerman top and trousers.
At night they continued the fun in a club all together! What an awful life, uh?
And then, an afterparty on their yatch, I think was mandatory!
The handsome Michael Fassbender visited the cars' boxes with her girlfriend actress Alicia Vikander, who I personally adore since "Royal Affair" with Mads Mikkelsen. Great film, I recommed it.
The lovely couple were later joined by Game of Throne's actor Liam Cunningham aka Ser Davos.
Also Liam Payne from One Direction decided to take a break from recording the new album in LA with the boys. It's a few days that he and his gorgeous girlfriend Sophia Smith are strolling around the city and the race's "backstage".
Look at their bodyguard holding Sophia's purse! ahah
Liam being a total gentleman! Awwww
How cute they are together??
Btw, today is my birthday!!!!!
Please someone bring me to Monte Carlo as birthday present!
I'm waiting... ahah
