MTV VMAs 2014

Another year, another amazing video music awards! Last nights brilliant show was bursting with talent and was just fantastic. The show opened with a brilliant medley from Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj and the beautiful Brit Jessie J. Despite Nicki's slightly
embarrassing wardrobe malfunction, she was very professional and still the 3 fierce women delivered a great performance of their already very successful single. Taylor Swift looked beautiful and gave us a very fun and enjoyable performance off the upbeat tune of 'Shake It Off' shaking off (if you pardon the pun) lots of criticism of the new song. The audience was also treated with a delightful performance of the incredible 'Amnesia' from the sensational 5 Seconds of Summer and Queen Bee (Beyonce) did the most exciting medley of the year. Other excellent performances throughout the night included: Sam Smith, Maroon 5, Usher, Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora.

Every single award winner was very deserving. Best Lyric Video went to 5 Seconds of Summer which is no surprise and a huge achievement for the Aussie lads who are currently touring with the boys of One Direction. Ed Sheeran also went to win Best Male Video for 'Sing' which is amazing. However the most emotional part of the night was when Miley Cyrus won Video of the Year for 'Wrecking Ball' and sent her friend Jesse on to the stage to accept the award who then went on to represent homelessness. Everyone went silent and Miley looked on proudly as she wept from the side of the stage. He talked about My Friends Place which is in Hollywood and is a homeless centre for young people. Miley is a huge supporter of this cause and donations can be made here. We love Miley!

Below is a full list of the award winners:

Best Lyric Video- 5 Seconds of Summer, 'Don't Stop'
Best Female Video- Katy Perry, 'Dark Horse'
Best Male Video- Ed Sheeran, 'Sing'

Also please do free to comment, I would love to here what people think... :-)

Ed Sheeran 'X' review

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I have been extremely busy with exams and just life in general but I have decided to do a short review on Ed Sheeran's new album 'X' because it is amazing and I have been really enjoying it!
Recently the whole world has been ecstatic as Ed Sheeran's new album was finally released worldwide on June 23rd after years of waiting and desperation. Immediately the album became number 1 on top of the iTunes chart in more than 65 countries including the US, Australia and Germany. The album, pronounced 'multiply' features the number 1 single in the UK 'sing' which was written by Ed himself and Pharrell Williams and creates a different sound to his usual songs as it provides more of an upbeat tune. The album also includes other songs by the name of 'Don't', 'One' and 'Photograph' all with massive potential and a possibility of hitting the top spot in the future.
My favourite though has got to be the beautiful 'Thinking Out Loud' because I think the lyrics are so meaningful and the sound is just lovely. I hope this song is released as a single shortly because despite it not having a music video, it has already entered the charts and from today it is 29th! As well as this 'Don't' is in the charts at 22. I also particularly love how Ed has done more rap especially in the song 'Take It Back' because it shows the true depth of what he is capable off and shows off his enormous talent. 
All together 'X' is an incredible album and Ed has made such an improvement from his previous material on '+' (which I didn't know would be possible) and some how 'X' may even be better than '+' even though they are both truly magnificent! The songs on this album provide a different sound and it is brilliant for when you just want to relax which is great for over the summer. It is defiantly worth a listen if you have not already and I really cant wait to start seeing some more of his music videos!
