Beth has been lucky enough to get tickets to Sundays extravaganza. I logged onto the BBC website about 9 times with different usernames and email addresses but Beth's cousin in Newcaste, who was instructed to register, came up with the goods and tickets as rare as rocking horse sh.it came Beth's way!
She was up at 7.30 sharp to get ready for the event and 1 and a half hours later she was ready. God love teenagers! The weather forecast was foul. Beth was dressed in a little flowery dress type thing with a cropped denim jacket, over a pair of black leggins and a trendy pair of Jules wellies. I congratulated her on her footwear! The hair was curled and cemented into place with mega amounts of Wella hairspray (coz she's worth it).
The headline act today was the freak aka Lady GaGa. She was due on at 9pm. I tuned into BBC3 TV but she was late and didn't come on till 9.30pm. Everyone else had run over. She came out of a coffin dressed in black rubber with a huge bump, singing 'Born This way'. Weird. I hoped my poor Beth hadn't been traumatised by the event. Lady G lost the bump and went on to do her thing. Sh was actually very very good and I am now a fan. I'm still undecided whether she is a woman or a man or she isn't sure. I think she may be Jewish.
At one point she said that there had been a note on her dressing room mirror to say 'Radio 1 requests you don't swear' but as she was from NYC she would find that impossible. A wave here to BM's mate from NYC!!!!
I was listening to interviews earlier in the day with the artists and groups performing.
Ferne was interviewing The Script. Now I really like the Script. I love their music but hadn't really paid them that much attention only to note that they were fit. I was totally surprised to find that they were Irish and from Dublin! What lovely accents they had. Mmmmm.
Now back to the point of this post.
Who would have thought The Script were Irish?
What's the difference between a dialect and an accent? And how do people with an accent sing without one
