This year, I really support James Arthur. And Ella Henderson. And I'd love for Lucy Spraggan to get signed, but she isn't really a reality talent show type of singer, more of a recording artist type. If that made sense to you. And I like Union J. I like their faces. George Shelley is beautiful. And they can sing. But JAMES please. Or Ella. #votejames #voteella. In case you don't watch The X Factor UK, here are some videos:

YOU'RE WELCOME.
They're amazing, aren't they? Hopefully this gets you to start tracking The X Factor, at least on YouTube. My favourite singing reality contest.
So, why I love James Arthur so much. To me, it seems like James is the kind of person who's pretty closed up on the outside, and usually doesn't show himself too much emotionally when he's doing everyday things. But when he starts singing, it's like he's pouring his soul out (like how I writemysoulout, hehe. I tend to use 'soul' instead of 'heart', because I find it more powerful and closer to the truth). You hear that pain in his voice. You literally hear it. He's incredible. He's gone through a lot in life, and he expresses it in his music. He deserves this, to get a chance to show people who he is as a person, and to share this heartbreakingly beautiful music with everybody. Music, to me, is a way to put your emotions and feelings into something beautiful. And that's what James does. I hope he wins.
On to Ella Henderson. Her first audition reduced me to tears. My grandpa died a couple years ago, and he was such a sweet and incredible person, who loved me. And the way she songwrites, it's unbelievable that she's only 16. Her voice too, it's so OLD. In the best way possible. Her voice is like that of an old soul. It's beautiful, and recently, Louis Walsh (one of the judges) said that the show has never gotten such a voice ever since Leona Lewis. Leona Lewis. I mean, that is HUGE. But I agree. She can be compared to Adele, she's that good. Only sixteen, gosh.
Lucy Spraggan now. She is the ultimate recording artist. She's a bit like Ed Sheeran. GENIUS, with her songwriting. Her voice too, it's very unique. She can't do a whole big range of different types of music, but when she does her stuff, it's mind-blowing. I hope she gets signed to a record label soon and can already come out with an album. I love her.
Last but not least, Union J. They're kind of like One Direction, minus the incredible one-of-a-kind personalities and that effect that One Direction just has on you. I don't know, I'm not really a mainstream type of girl, but One Direction just has this thing which makes me love them. It's so weird yet enticing. I mean, their bromances and personalities and shit, it's what makes them, them. ANYWAY, this is supposed to be about Union J. Union J has the looks, the character (at least, from what I know so far they do), the voices (boyband-type voices), and whatever else is needed to appeal to girls. They have a strong female following, and that's definitely going to help them in the competition. I think they could be big, they really appeal to us girls. I just have a soft spot for George Shelley. As long as they do the right songs, they could smash this and go on to rule the world, like what One Direction did. So boys, watch out.
So, I think that was it. I still can't believe I'm leaving Singapore. This is so weird, everything's still pretty much the same. Life is like a rollercoaster. Once you're up the next you're down. Oh Zayn, your wiseness has affected me. Never mind. My trainers are soaked, another big downpour today. My oh-so-tough friend Sheryl SCREAMED when the first thunder sounded. I actually ducked, the sound was so surprising and LOUD. But I actually don't mind, it reminds me of England, and I can dream that I'm actually there. Oh, and speaking of England, my relative who's studying there got me a guide about Stonehenge, and now I can add that to my collection of genuinely-from-the-UK-British-things. I sound obsessed, and I am. It's just it's a big part of my future, going to England. I want to live there, I love the weather, the places, the people, the hustle and bustle of London, the calm and quiet and general prettiness of the villages. It feels like home, even though I've never even been there.
Well this was a long goodbye paragraph. Really goodbye now, then. Good bye!
Love always,
