Are You For Real?

So today at school, yes, school, ugh. But yes, today at school I was sat in class and we got on to the discussion of whether we wanted to go to university, and if we did, what we wanted to study. I piped up "I'd loooove to study French and English!" "WHAT?" about five shocked voices shouted, "You want to study what?" a girl went on to say. Call me "out of it" but it wasn't until today that I realised that languages were regarded as uncool. I know from my posts I come across as a pretty big nerd, but I totally promise I'm not but (and not to be blunt) I don't really want to spend the rest of my life working in Tesco, I'd really like a satisfactory job. I'm not saying I want to translate or teach French I just think it would be a really interesting thing to study. But it seems that these days "cool" is someone who couldn't give a damn about their future, prances around in next to no clothing and someone who is (in want for a better word) easy, you know what I'm getting at here. Where as once we are older the roles will almost definitely switch, those who tried hard at school and got a good job will be the ones with lots of friends and the "cool" ones will have gone majorly down hill. I don't know about you, but I would rather maybe miss out on some of the fun at high school so that I can have a fulfilling and enjoyable career ahead of me. I really don't want you to get the wrong end of the stick though, I am NOT one of those people who stay inside all their life revising and watching documentaries, I love to have fun and I have a great group of friends. BUT I'm not like half of the girls in my year who prance around practically throwing myself at guys and constantly back chatting teachers, because I don't want to be pregnant at the age of sixteen with no qualifications. So tell me, would you rather be cool for six years or have a brilliant rest of your life?

Ones to watch this summer.

Music is another thing I love. I live for music, and I need music to live. (okay that's maybe a small exaggeration, but I don't think I go a day without my music) It's just such a wonderful thing and can set the scene for any occasion.
I've always had quite a good eye(or you could say ear) for picking out artists before they blow up and become big. So I've decided to do a list of people I think will become big this summer and just quirky undiscovered artists I think you should check out (:

• AlunaGeorge have got to be the coolest music duo out there and the fact that they are signed to Universal shows I'm not the only one to think that! But I've been an AlunaGeorge fan well before they featured on that Disclosure track "White Noise". Remember when they released their song "Just A Touch" last year? No? I didn't think you would. AlunaGeorge have been on the scene for a while now, but thanks to good old Disclosure they have finally broken into the public eye! I'm sure you will all have heard "Attracting Flies" and LOVED it, so go check out some of their older music, it's just as good, I promise! Oh and don't forget to pre-order their latest album "Body Music" from the Universal website, NOW!

• Amplify Dot, A.Dot, Dotty, Ashley. She may look cute but believe me you wouldn't want to get in the way of this girls bars, they could break you! You're probably wondering where you recognise her from, am I right? Well here's a clue "SPEED THROUGH LIFE IN A PURPLE HAZE, LIVE FAST, DIE YOUNG LIKE KURT COBAIN!" Her single "Kurt Cobain" got A LOT of attention and lets just say not all of it was good... Her video was spammed with quite a lot of comments from twelve year old "Nirvana fans" saying she was being disrespectful to Kurt, Puhleazeeee you aren't even old enough to know who Kurt Cobain was hunny so go crawl back to your play pen. The opinions were mixed, but personally I think Cobain would be happy to have a song "about" him, it seems like he was all for music. But that being said A.Dot cleared up in an interview that the song was not about Kurt, it was just based on his legacy. She watched a documentary and a film about him and was inspired, so I think good on her. I guess I am a little biased though, I am a HUUUUUUGE Dotty fan, I used to swear I would marry her one day *cringe*. But not in a stalkerish "I'm a Directioner and I WILL marry Niall no matter what you say" sort of way, more of in a "I just view you as a normal person and look up to you, think you are very musically talented and respect you" way. Yeaaaaaah. Right moving on swiftly and back to the music. A.Dot's mixtape "Dotty's World" is well worth a listen and not long after that mixtape she was featured on The Female Takeover, one of the sickest YouTube videos out there. I really could go on for ever but I won't but please, check her out because she's going to be mahoosive!

• Etta Bond well this girl is a crazy sound machine. I've been following her for a while and it's been amazing to watch her grow! She is so musically talented, her hair has seen more colours that Picasso's paint brush and no one can rock a beanie like her. It's something about the voice and the look that is so captivating, she's like a drug, once you start you can't stop. Her EP "Emergency Room" with Raf Riley is nuts and features the song "Boring Bitches" which I promise you will feel the need to sing at least once in your life! She's worked with LOADS of people including Devlin when she featured on his song "Love Cards". This girl is going to be big big big!

• Leah Mcfall. I can't help but kick myself so hard whenever someone refers to her as "that girl off the Voice", because yeah she is "that girl off the Voice" but she is also the girl I was in touch with last year because I realised how deeply talented she was. I was trying to get her to come and perform at a charity gig I was organising, and I was so close. It was one of those moments that I wished I had a record label because I would have snapped her up so quickly. Don't get me wrong I am OVER THE MOON she is doing well on the voice but I'm just mad at myself for not acting on my instinct last year, because she was my big thing. I was acting like her own little one  girl street team, practically forcing people to subscribe to her and like her youtube videos. I was talking to her on twitter and through email, I knew she had big things coming for her and I was right. So please, vote for Leah, because she will not let you down!

• Kelz TBK. This man is sick, crazy, dope, dench and completely nuts. Not only can he rap but he can draw too! I have been following him since the very start of his journey and hope he can do well, he deserves it so much, he's such a genuine guy, his song "Like An Angel" is about his mum! He will do big things for British music if only he could break into the industry! So go download his mixtape from his website, please? It's free and we all love free things, eh?
