Oscars 2015



Last night on the 22nd February the amazing annual Oscars Academy Awards took place and it happened to be the 87th ceremony! It included inspirational speeches, talented performances and some crazy moments...


Neil Patrick HarrisThe night was filled with endless entertainment and to host the evening was the much loved American actor Neil Patrick Harris. Unfortunately his presenting happened to be a bit of a flop with awkward interactions and jokes falling flat. However this did not ruin the night and there were still incredible performances.

Lady Gaga performs songs from <i>The Sound of Music</i> during the 87th Academy Awards in Hollywood, California.Recently engaged Lady Gaga took to the stage and reminded everyone just how talented she really is. She sung a medley of classic Sound of Music songs for the films 50th birthday ending with a huge onstage hug from the very elegant and classy Julie Andrews. Gaga's performance was defiantly the performance of the night. Rita Ora also performed stunningly and impressed the audience with song 'grateful'. Other performances included Adam Levine, Jennifer Hudson, Tim McGraw, Neil Patrick Harris, Tegan and Sara & The Lonely Island and John Legend & Common.

Jingle Bell Ball!

I happened to have tickets for Capital's Jingle Bell Ball on Sunday the 8th of December at the amazing O2 Arena. I was in block 107, row V, seat 108 and thought these seats were actually really good for the back of the lower tier with the stage being straight in front.

The first performer to enter the stage was the wonderful Jessie J (here is a link to my blog post I did about her Alive arena tour which I went to in October! http://charlottecarina.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/jessie-j.html). Jessie was incredible like usual and got the crowd warmed up immediately. She looked stunning and put on a great performance singing: Price Tag, Do It Like A Dude, It's My Party, Domino, Thunder and Wild along with Dizzee Rascal.


Next was John Newman and this was his first appearance at the event. He only sung Love Me Again and Cheating but they were both really good and he also joined Rudimental later on to sing with them.


After was Little Mix who were brilliant and had such a good routine! They sung Move, DNA, Wings and their new single Little Me. They are great live and they are really entertaining because they know how to work the stage and dance.

Lawson then performed and were also amazing, I have seen them quite a few times now and they have never once been bad. After the show finished Adam and Ryan walked straight past me and my best friend which I couldn't believe! They sung Brokenhearted, Standing In The Dark and Juliet.

After Lawson was Jason Derulo. He actually surprised me because I wasn't really looking forward to him but I thought he was really good. His dancing is absolutely amazing and his performance was great. However he didn't really talk to the crowd much which I thought was slightly rude. He sung 4 songs which were: The Other Side, Trumpets, Whatcha Say and Talk Dirty.


It was then the highly talented and bloody brilliant The Vamps. This is the biggest venue they have played at and they completely owned the stage and got a massive crowd reaction. They sung Can We Dance, Wild Heart and Jingle Bells which all sounded amazing and I am excited to see them at their own concerts in the future. (Sorry the picture isn't brilliant, it was hard to take a decent picture with my best friend going wild next to me.) ;-)

It was then the special guest who is called Elyar Fox. I really didn't enjoy him and he bored me because I guess I don't really know him but his voice was still pretty good. He only sung one song and that was Do It All Over Again.


Next was Dizzee Rascal and I didn't really enjoy him either because i'm not a particularly big fan of his type of music and we missed part of his performance because we decided to get a breather. His set seemed to go on forever and he sung Bonkers, The Power, Something Really Bad, Holiday and Love This Town. 

Rudimental were awesome and I really enjoyed them! I saw them at the Summer Time Ball this year as well and they are really worth seeing because you cant help but dance. They performed Feel The Love with John Newman and Waiting All Night with Ella Eyre. 

Obviously the best was saved to last and it was the person that everyone was looking forward to... the incredible Lady Gaga who is honestly such a born entertainer. She had a brilliant set which was amazing. I love how she changed things up and really performs to the crowd. She knows exactly what to do to get the reaction she wants and it is wonderful to watch. She sung Just Dance, Do What U Want, Applause, Born This Way, Bad Romance, Aura and Jingle Bells which were all spectacular.


That is it for this blog post, I will try write another soon when something interesting happens in the celebrity world and if you were wondering I used my Fujifilm camera for all of the pictures I used!
