Top Ten Musicals!!

Hello again everyone, today is the second of my top ten's and it is my top ten favourite musicals!!
I hope you enjoy!

10. Oliver

Lots of people would probably rank this higher but it is number 10 for me. I thought it was really good and all the songs were great, however I do like the books and so it was quite predictable. Still, I really enjoyed watching it.

9. The Lion King

Again, I really enjoyed this show and I watched it when I was very young and I still remember it. I love Disney so I kneww the story and this made it quite predictable but I thought the costumes were amazing!

8. Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat

When I was 11 I was in this musical and it was great fun. It isn't quite a west end musical however I think it is one that everyone should have seen as it is very entertaining.

7. Mama Mia!

This is a real feel good musical, including all the famous songs from ABBA. I loved the movie and the musical was not a dissapointment. Really enjoyable!

6. The Wizard of Oz

I went to see this with my family and the scenary was amazing. I also really liked the person playing Dorothy and recognised her as Danielle, the winner of the series Over the Rainbow in search for the new Dorothy. I thought that the dog, Toto, was really good and did everything he was supposed to. A great family show!

5. Billy Elliot

I thought this show was a lot better than I thought it wold be. The boy playing Billy Elliot was great and danced amazingly. I think it deserves to be here!

4. Cats

This musical is my mum's all time favourite so I have seen it numerous times. I like the way the cast walk around the audience as it makes you feel a lot more invlolved. Great songs and something new and different to watch.

3. Wicked

I love this musical as it is quite new and the whole storyline is really unique. It takes the story of the wicked witch of the west from the wizard of oz and totally turns it on it's head. A funky, new musical that you are sure to enjoy.

2. The Phantom of the Opera

Andrew Llyod Webber's finest, the Phantom of the Opera is a truly amazing musical and it was a hard decision whether to put it in first or second place on this countdown. I can't fault it, the songs and staging was great and it created an atmosphere where everyone was excited to see what would happen next!

And now... My favourite musical of all time is......

1. Les Miserables

This is, in my opinion, the best musical ever! I love it so much and I also really love the movie. It is a wonderful musical that everyone should watch. It leaves you wanting more and the songs are true works of art!

So there you have it, my top ten favourite musicals. I hope you liked it and if you have any other favourite musicals then just leave them in the comments below!

Top Ten Songs!!

Hi guys!

Today's post is the start of a set of top ten posts that I am doing. day of this week I will make a post on some sort of top ten.
Today's top ten is.......

TOP TEN FAV SONGS!!!!

I would just like to say that there are so many different songs that I like so I will not be able to fit all of these songs in this top ten. Let's get started!

10. I knew you were trouble - Taylor Swift

I like this song because it is modern and very different from other songs by Taylor Swift. I always liked her country songs and have taken a liking to her new, mainstream songs too!

9. Home - Gabrielle Aplin

I don't think many people would have heard this song which I think is sad as it is such a good song by a very talented artist! Gabrielle Aplin also song the Power of Love (the song used in the John Lewis snowmen advert!).

8. Kiss You - One Direction

Yes, I do like One Direction so I had to include one of their songs in this top ten countdown. I also love the music video for this song and I think it is a really catchy beat and find myself singing it alot!!

7. Fix You - Coldplay

This is quite an old song but is still one of my favourite songs ever!! Coldplay is suprisingly one of my favourite bands and I thought this song had a nice soft touch and had really meaningful lyrics.

6. Skyfall - Adele

Sadly I haven't yet seen teh movie Skyfall but loved this powerful song by the amazing Adele. I tohught the music made it really dramatic and I loved listening to it and singing along.

5. A Heart Full of Love - Amanda Seyfried, Samantha Barks and Eddie Redmayne

I know this isn't really a pop song, but I fell in love with it when I heard it in the film Les Miserables and immediatly bought it! I love the harmonies between the three singers at the end and the lyrics are truly beautiful!!

4. Jessie J - Domino

Again, this song has such a catchy beat that makes you want to get up and dance. Such a fun song to sing along to with a group of friends so I had to mention it!

3. Candy - Robbie Williams

When I first heard this song I tohught it was something Olly Murs would sing, not Robbie Williams. It is such a fun song, even if the lyrics seem totally random!! I think this song shows that Robbie Williams is still going strong in the music industry.

2. Impossible - James Arthur

I had to include this song as I absolutly love it!! I know some people who don't like this song and that is fair enough but I was right behind James from the beginning of the X Factor and thought his winner's single was amazing!!

And finally...... Drum roll please......My favourite song is......

1. Clown - Emeli Sande

This song is so beautiful as is the rest of her album and shows how amazing her voice is. She shows so much emotion through her lyrics and I believe this song is truly number one!!!!

So thanks for reading my top ten songs and tune in tomorrow for another top ten post!!!

Thanks,

Simple anti-blemish moisuriser!

Hey guys,

 Today I am going to be doing a review on the spotless skin anti-blemish moisturiser from Simple.
I has four main spot fighting ingredients which include Zinc and Chamomile.
Those four lovely ingredients are:
Zinc
Chamomile
Corn starch
and Aloe Vera.

It doesn't contain any perfume or added colour and works a treat on your skin! I really like this moisturiser because I have never had a spot on my skin since buying it 2 months ago.

See you next time my lovelies!
