Sorry, please do excuse the pun in my title!
But yesterday Edinburgh DID go wild, because no other than Jessie J was there!
But yesterday Edinburgh DID go wild, because no other than Jessie J was there!
I was lucky enough to get tickets to see her live last night at Edinburgh Castle, and it's fair to say that it was one of the best nights of my life so far!
Now me being a complete music junkie/music nerd I am always on the look out for new and up and coming artists, so the singer A*M*E has been on my radar for a while now. I first heard of her sometime late last year and have been watching her grow ever since, she is a very genuine girl and I am a HUGE fan! So when I heard she was going to be supporting Jessie I was so incredibly excited!
The night as a whole was amazing, A*M*E put on an brilliant show and saw me and Alice going nuts for her (I have to say that a lot of people around us were very unenthusiastic) so waved and shouted "I SEE YOU GUYS". At the end of her set Alice and I decided that we would run down to see if we could catch a glimpse of her. I was in high heels (stupid thing to wear to a concert I know) so running down the multiple stairs was a great feat in it's self! But as we reached the bottom of the stairs we saw A*M*E rounding the corner, at this moment I was thinking "I'm never going to see her again so what the hell, go crazy!" So I shout at the top of my lungs "A*M*E?" and she turns round goes "YES?" and me being completely in shock manages to force out a squeaky "We love you!" and to my surprise, instead of her bolting from this panting, red faced, over excited girl as fast as she could she goes "I love you too!" Honestly, the concert could have ended there and I would have been happy! It was the first time that I had almost lost my voice before the main act had even stepped on stage!
During the break between A*M*E's set and Jessie J me and Alice were queuing to try and get to the surprisingly clean toilets when I saw a door open and who should walk past (on the other side of a barrier) but Jessie J, let's just say I screamed, a lot!
The rest of the night was amazing, Jessie is just such a brilliant performer and really knows how to get a crowd on her side! At one point she even had us chanting people's names from in the crowd "STEVE, STEVE, STEVE, STEVE, STEVE. NATASHA, NATASHA, NATASHA!"
The atmosphere was amazing, I cried ("Who You Are" really is such an emotional song), laughed, danced, screamed and sang very out of tune! The backdrop of the castle was just so breath taking and as the sun began to go down it felt unreal!
There was a darling of a girl sitting in front of us, she must have been about seven years old and she talked to us through out the whole show. I have never met someone so sweet!
The whole concert went by in a blur! Alice and I ran up and down the stairs so many times as we couldn't bare to miss a good story opportunity! By the end of the night we had managed to talk to A*M*E, the backing singers and Jessie's best friend Hollie. We also saw Jessie come out of her changing room twice, stalkers much! And made some good friends, and possibly a lot of enemies, if looks could kill me and Alice would have been shot down multiple times, people did't like our enthusiasm!
But I can't complain as I had the most wonderful night, and one I will never forget!
I will just quickly apologise for the mass amount of pictures and the awful footage, filming really isn't my strong point!
