Xfactor tour!

On the Saturday 5th March, me and a friend went to see the xfactor tour at Wembley arena! It is where most of the xfactor finalists that were on the live shows perform to many parts of England. The finalists that made it to the tour were One Direction, Matt Cardle, Aiden Grimshaw, Paige Richardson, Wagner, Rebecca Ferguson, Cher Lloyd, Katie Waissel and Mary Byrne. I was impressed with every one of them when they performed. I would say that my favourite was probably Cher Lloyd. When i watched her on television I thought she was a good singer but not amazing but when she performed live I thought she was by far the best. Her voice sounded unique and strong. My other favourite was obviously One Direction. As well as them being great entertainers, all five of them were also great singers. My favourite out of the band is Harry Styles; I think that he has the most powerful voice out of the band however i think that Zayn has the most unique voice in the band. Either way though, they are all very good! At the end Matt Cardle sand some of his best songs that were sung in the live shows like Bruno Mars: Just the way you are, Katy Perry: Firework and The Moody Blues: Nights in White satin. The last song he performed was his winner’s single which became Number 1 on the Christmas charts. I think Matt Cardle has a beautiful voice.

However not only did we get to watch the finalists perform live, an hour before the show actually started I knew someone that works with the production team that was able to get me and my friend meet and greet passes! When I got told this, I was even more excited, it was such a bonus to the night. So instead of having to be at the place at half seven we had to get there at quarter to six. We went in to get out tickets and then queued outside for about 10 minutes. We then all went inside and got a backstage stamp on our hands and went up these stairs and waited in a line in the corridor for 5 minutes. At just gone 6pm it was time when we all went into a big room and stood around the edge in an oval shape. It was good because I thought there would be able 150 people in there but there were only about 30 people. After waiting for a while, they bought out Matt Cardle first and then after he went to a few people they let Rebecca Ferguson in and so on. When Matt got to us, he seemed so nice, i have met him before in Covent gardens but he wasn’t in much of a rush as he was when i first saw him. I had a joint picture with Cher and Katie and they were both lovely too. When Aiden came, me and my friend were on either side of him and after he had the picture he told me that he loved my hair which made me happy! When Wagner came to us, he said we were both beautiful girls which was cute. The last act to come out was one direction! They were most of the reason why I was so excited. I really wanted to meet them, especially Harry Styles. When they came over, I unexpectedly felt quite calm which was good. We spoke for a bit and then got a picture, as I was about to take one for my friend the body guard told me to get in the picture so it was quicker but I said i didn’t know where to go and Harry told me to stand next to him and then put him arm around me. It was so cute! Below is a picture of me and my friend with one direction and a few of the other acts.

This is a picture of me and Aiden Grimshaw!













                 


                                                                                          

Here is me with Rebecca Ferguson who was lovely. I think she has a strange singing voice but in a good way. It is different and memorable.

This is a picture of Cher performing her first song live to the Wembley audience. She was an amazing entertainer as well as singer and I certainly think that she has the x factor and will be one of the artists that become very big in later life.

Here is a photo of Wagner dancing and singing to the audience. He was very entertaining and great fun for everyone to watch.

The whole experience of the xfactor Wembley arena tour was amazing! As well as each act being a great singer they were also brilliant entertainers. If I had the chance I would love to go again and will defiantly be looking into when any of them are doing gigs.
