Update from Natasha

Mon, 04 May 2009 20:03:00 +0100

Hey you lot!

Writing is going well. I'm very excited about getting the next record out when its finished. just in case you were wondering what I'm up to. I've been creating songs almost everyday the last few weeks.
Just was in studio last week with Wycleff. He is such a musical genius.
Met with Sam Sparro this week. We are gonna make a cool collaboration. I have a good feeling about that one.
Right now I'm in the studio of Mike Elizondo. I wrote with him on my last record. We have about 4 songs we are writing at the same time. I like working with him so much. He is so versatile and plays almost every instrument excellently.

Going home to UK in a month for a bit of writing there. I can't wait. It has been a while since I was last there. Just been a bit preoccupied getting married and honeymooning and writing; that's all kept me away in the states for a while.

Also my song soul mate is playing a lot of radio here in the states a lot right now. I performed it on Dancing with the Stars last week. Some of the dancers from the show danced while I sang. It added a nice twist to the song. I'm glad I was just singing rather than dancing on that show. It looks hard!

love Tasha

Hello from the Lennon bus!!

It's one week in to the tour and all is well.
Right now I am writing a song with my mate Brian Kennedy on the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus.
This bus has a fully equipped recording studio on it. Its is truly fantastic. It travels with artists all over America offering young people all along the way the chance to use its facilities.
The charity was set up by Yoko Ono and my management to provide music education and to make music more accessible to youth.
At each stop some kids will hop on from local schools and they get to experience a studio.
Sometimes I jump on there before or after a show and write. Which is what I'm in the middle of right now. Love it!

I miss my fiance...oh yeah by the way if you didn't know already I got engaged!!!!! All my friends have been finding out about my news from pictures of me and my sparkly ring on the Calvin Klein red carpet.
You may ask 'Why do I miss Matt right now?' Well, he is presently hiking his way to the Everest base camp with my mum who is going to be sky diving really soon. Only about a week now to go till she takes the plunge. I am really glad he is out there with her to make sure she is safe and also to film it so we all get to view the journey later.
Thank you to all who have donated to her cause. I know she is very excited about aiming to make a world record in such a dramatic way and she said the only way she has courage to do it is that the money raised from it is going to help so many kids.

Lots of love

On tour again!

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 10:46:00 +0100

On the bus again, the next tour has officially begun! Looks like the NKOTB/Natasha Bedingfield tour is going to be fun. It's sold out in most locations and I've heard the New Kids have some very loyal and up-for-anything fans. And of course my own fans who will be coming are a very appreciative and demonstrative crowd, so I am really looking forward to this next two months of shows. Check out the pics of me on my bus below. My mum leaves for Everest in a week. Stay tuned for progress on this. Check out my mate Rebekah Le Beau's MySpace. She's just had a song play on The Hills and was praised on an MTV top 20 list. I love her song writing. I hung out a lot with Sharon Osbourne this week. We just so happened to be in the same place a lot (watch out for me on America's got Talent). She is so lovely, she reminds me of me own mum a little. I also met some heroes of mine, I did a gig with Carol King (seriously every song writer should listen to her album Tapestry, its pure genius) and Olympic gold winner Shaun Johnson. She was doing outrageously difficult flips while I sang 'Pocket' at an event called Pink with a Twist. Also pop legend Cindy Lauper was there. I'm listening to the Foo Fighters as I write this. The 'Pretender' is one of my fave songs, it's up there with the acoustic version of 'Everlong'. Also Coldplay's newest album really gets better and better the more I listen. By the way, you have got to get Sia's album 'Some People Have Real Problems' especially Litttle Black Sandles, such a good song. Peace and love Natasha xx

Two month tour

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 15:36:00 +0100

There are clothes strewn all over my bedroom and I have a few hours to pack for a two month tour. What do I bring and what do I leave? New York fashion week is the first stop, I'm singing at the opening of the NFL season with Usher and Keith Urban. It will be aired by hundred thousands of people on September 5th. Then comes Fashion Rocks where I'm going to lots of fashion shows and I'll be sitting there with pen in hand so I can nab the best new outfits before anyone else does! I'm also singing with all the girl powers that be, on a step up for a cure for cancer song. That can also be caught on TV and watch out because the song is really catchy. Check out this blurb from the USA Today! 'USA TODAY September 2, 2008 LIFELINE Fergie, Mariah Carey, Rhianna, Ciara, Ashanti, Carrie Underwood, Keyshia Cole, Leona Lewis, Mary J Blige, Miley Cyrus, Natasha Bedingfield, and Sheryl Crow will sing Just Stand Up together Friday at Fashion Rocks in a segment to be fed to the Stand Up To Cancer show that night on ABC, CBS, and NBC. Fashion Rocks airs Sept 9 on CBS.' That's a great line up if you ask me! Also check out the new Everyone can be an Angel section here and tell me about the Angels in your life! I set up this group to encourage people to talk about people who have inspired them and to bring awareness to my mum's charity Global Angels. She will be skydiving from Everest to help raise money for her charity and she has been an angel to me my whole life. Stop by my group, leave your story and if you'd like, stop by her charity and be an angel as well!

Angel blog

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 16:28:00 +0100

Do you believe in angels? Maybe in the form of someone in your life who touches you with kindness?I have set up a section on my site for you to be able to put up any story you might have that is a tribute to someone acting as an angel in your life or someone else's.Head here and write a thank you or tell of a miracle that someone made happen. Big or small, these are things that deserved to be recognized publicly.I have a story to start us all off...My mum, Molly Bedingfield is the main reason I have just released a single called Angel. The song is a love song, but the theme of wanting to protect someone is directly inspired by the way my mum has always cared for us four Bedingfield kids and also thousands of others all over the world through her charity Global Angels.Right now she is preparing to embark upon facing her worst fear. She is going to set a record skydiving at the height of Everest. She has never sky dived before and she has a genuine fear of heights (she gets so motion sick that she wont even go on roller coasters) and the only reason she is doing it is to raise a as much money as possible for kids. I so am amazed that she is doing this that I want to get behind her as much as possible. I am going to put a link on my site to hers where she will be giving direct updates and also provides a way you can help sponsor her jump if you feel led to. Please check it out and stay tuned because the craziness of this venture is all for a wonderful cause... and lets face it, how many mums do you know who would be willing to do it?Share your stories here. They might end up encouraging someone else.Check out the Global Angels site here

Still On Tour!

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 09:57:00 +0100

Hey! Well, I'm still on tour and the novelty of traveling on a bus has worn off little. Sure, its crazy fun and it has real beds and cool hang out spaces, but nothing beats a real bed in a room that is not moving around from state to state every night. The best hotel beds I've stayed in are at the Sofitel hotel and W hotel, I could sleep forever in those beds. My brother loved the W hotel beds so much that he bought one and had it shipped exactly as it was in the hotel to his house, sheets and all! Was fun to do 4th of July in the US. Considering it's a day that celebrates the US' independence from Britain, it was funny to be part of the festivities as someone who is British. I like the fact that it is about freedom, which i think is something worth having a day devoted to because there are so many people in the world who do not have freedom of choice or speech and other basic human rights. I performed right in Times Square at America's biggest firework display - somewhere I would never have imagined I would be years ago when I first visited New York. I'm pleased that my mates, The Script, have their single out, and album too I think. I hear rumours of them opening for One Republic on there European tour - now thats a gig you HAVE to be at. Both of these bands are incredible. By the way, I just got a text from Kenna saying he is in the UK at the moment. If you havent heard of him, then you need to get on itunes or go into a shop and by his record 'cos he is a huge influence on where music is at right now; a truly artistic artist. I met him on the Justin Timberlake tour as he is a big mate of Justin, when you hear his stuff you see that Kenna probably rubbed off a lot stlyistically on JT's recent album. So check it out. The other person to watch for is my big bro Daniel Bedingfield who has been creating some incredible music recently. I dont know when his release date is, but prepare to be blown away by his phenomenal vocals and genius songs again really soon. He is still one of my favourite artists so I really cant wait for his new stuff to come out, I'm predicting the wait won't be that much longer now. There was a great review of my New York show in the New York post. Also good pic of me if i dont say so myself! I did a crazy faux hawk that day. I've always loved playing with my hair, doing different styles with it to express myself. Being a performer gives me the perfect opportunity to be dramatic with it. Ok, enough from me...speaking of glam and hair; I've got to get my pretty on for some radio interview in San Diego. Tasha XXXXXXX

Still On Tour!

Drive Thru

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 15:19:00 +0100

Throughout this whole tour we're travelling by tour bus. I'm really enjoying driving through the US rather than flying over it. You definitely get to see more in a bus than using a plane to get everywhere.
Right now we're passing expansive flat fields in Illinois, little farmhouses all alone smack in the middle of miles of land.
In a few hours we will be in Chicago, which is such an historical city. I've got the afternoon off there to go exploring, I can't wait.

So I'm just touching base. I'm kind of zoned out today because we've been driving for 14 hours and I'm lying in the back lounge looking out the window and chilling.

We have internet on the bus so I've been surfing all morning.Thanks Perez Hilton for giving props to my mum's charity, Global Angels. It's such a worthwhile cause, and I agree with you Perez, it's doing great things.

I hung out in New Orleans all day yesterday as I had a gig in the evening. My song 'Pockets' took on a whole new meaning when I sang there. The people have really had to go through some rough stuff that life has thrown at them, and their determined spirit and ability to let it roll off them is really inspiring. I felt that so much as I was singing on stage.
There are some amazing places in New Orleans, we visited the French Quarter and I was amazed at the culture there; so much art and soul.

Peace and love to all

Recent Emotions

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 10:28:00 +0100

Hi guys,

I hope you're all well?

Here are some of my recent emotions...

- I'm itching to hear the new Coldplay album.

- I've just got the Kooks new album and I love it. I'm a new fan.

-I'm jealous of Rhianna's hot pixie hair do. She makes short hair look so good. It's suits her as much as it suits Halle Berry.

- I'm wondering if the Sex and the City movie will live up to how good the show is? It's hard to successfully translate a show to a movie in my opinion, haven't seen it yet though. If you've seen it, shall I watch it?

- I'm secretly smug that my song has owned a position higher than the Madonna single for a few weeks, only because I admire her so much. I sing a cover of one of her songs in my show by the way. She is a great songwriter; I appreciate that more now after singing her song. It feels so good to sing it. I admire how consistent she is.

- I'm missing Chris Moyles. It's hard to be away from home! That's the hardest part about the job I'm lucky enough to have. That bloke knows how to do an interview!

- Brandy is the nicest girl in the biz. I hung out with her recently in Hollywood. She's seriously a good person.

- I'm IN LOVE with my new black and white Alexander McQueen heels. I'm smitten; they go with everything so I'm wearing them everywhere. Also I'm really impressed by American Apparel. Went into one of their shops in Atlanta and took most of it out with me when I left.

Much love
Natasha

Tour kicks off!

Fri, 30 May 2008 11:19:00 +0100

The Natasha Bedingfield Verizon VIP tour has officially begun!!! I'm actually just over a week into it and I love it! My band kicks butt, I come off stage with an adrenaline high every night.

Had a bit of a rocky start for a minute when too much partying the week before caused me to catch a cold, which affected my voice. Not the best way to start a tour but it's all cool now; I'm fit as a fiddle!

This British/kiwi (briwi) girl is excited about seeing all of America and the different ways the audience responds in each place.

Just on a plane to New York right now. I've got a fantastic cancer charity gig I'm singing at tonight called the Sloane Kettering Benefit which is really important cause.

Some other cool news: My song Pocket has been in top 10 this week of top 40 pop radio. It's good news and I'm sure you already know that it's been hanging round top 10 at iTunes for a few weeks now? I'm pretty chuffed about it!

Ok enough about me and stuff. I'm still filming on the road so you might see some footage soon if I can get it together. I like staying in touch visually and in different ways and you're important to me.

Also look up verizonviptour.com. There are some seriously fun things to do on there, like enter the duet contest to win a chance to sing on stage and record with me

Love and peace

Breaking news!

Fri, 09 May 2008 13:24:00 +0100

I'm in a New York rehearsal studio right now with my band. It's the greatest feeling ever to be working with such gifted and dedicated musicians. Seriously, this tour is going to be quality! Anthemic pop songs with soul are the goal, and boy, have my guys and gals got soul!

I can't wait to get going on my first ever American tour with myself headlining. We have two massive buses and for some of the tour there are rumours that the John Lennon bus will be joining.
It's decked out with a complete recording studio and film editing suite. Its whole purpose is to educate young people musically and tons of peeps will win a chance to go on the bus and check it out.

Oh, and I have breaking news....my song 'Pocketful of Sunshine' reached number 8 on the US top 100 radio chart! AND it got to number 1 on itunes this week too!

Thank you guys for all your support. As my mate Neyo's song says, 'Its all because of you!' Everyone at home in the UK and Europe, thanks for your patience while I represent us over here in US. I can't wait till I can come back to where my roots are and tour again.

Love ya

Wikipedia - Dispelling myths

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:25:00 +0100

I feel frustrated with Wikipedia because it's not always truth that's written there, just things that people have written. The reason it's frustrating is because people go to it as a reference and ask me interview questions based on what it says there. For example I am quoted as saying I refuse to be in men's magazines. This is just not true; I have already been in a number of them. What I have said and I'll say again is that I want to be known for my music more than for my body or what I do or don't wear. That desire is reflected in the way I am in photos.

There are other things that are not correct in there too. I think I will continue this dispelling of myths in one of my next up coming blogs! It feels like clearing up the facts is a good thing to talk about so I'll save it until next time.
Also, the subject of the ups and downs of how interactive the internet is worth touching on; I'm sure you all have your own thoughts on this? Submit them, it's interesting!
For example, it's so great that now everyone can make their opinion known, can make their own movies and release music without the use of a company but does it mean that now there are no experts? I'm reading some books about it at the moment. They support both sides of the argument. What's your opinion?

Pocketful of Sunshine video

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 14:23:00 +0100

I've just finished shooting my new music video for the song Pocketful of Sunshine so look out for it coming soon! You'll see a bit of the adventurer in me as I parachute my way out of a frustrating situation. The vid is about freedom and how we all have our own pocketful of sunshine - the place that we go to that makes it easier to handle difficult, mundane or painful situations in life. There are moments when you need to find a safe place to escape to. The 'parachutes' we use to get us there are different: things like art, music, dance, entertainment, prayer, friendship, a phone call, food, substances (sometimes our means of escape are not always healthy, sometimes they are positive ones), books, internet, hobbies etc.

It ' s basically the concept that sticks and stones are never gonna break me because it ' s possible to have an inner peace that takes me away so I'm safe and means I don't have to just lie there and receive whatever crap life throws.

When I was trying to find a director for the video I found it interesting that the ideas some directors started sending me were scenes of flowers and fields and lots of pretty, sunny things. I think they thought that this song was only about happiness and things going well. I wanted a video that showed the contrast that happens in life, like finding beauty in the middle of ugliness or strength at times of weakness. That's why I worked with the director Alan Ferguson, to show stories that happen in urban settings. With concrete, fluorescent lights, arguing, boredom, ordinary life situations that can get you down. I wanted to show stories of people finding a safe haven within these places.

Anyway, enough explaining, its one of those songs you can interpret in your own way really. I'm excited to show the video.

By the way I keep going back and forth from UK to USA and I'm coming back to UK next week for a week. I have to say on my last visit to London I was so impressed by the fashion and the way the music scene is. I love how Londoners walk around with such a personal style. So functional, quirky and individual. I love the fact that the Streets and Dizzy Rascal, MIA, and Lilly Allen made it cool to rap and sing in your own accent. I think that's a big reason why the USA is so into our music at the moment, because we're being ourselves. There was a while in the pop scene when every country in Europe had their own versions of all the USA singers. But now we are more willing to take risks and I appreciate that it's more honest. I reckon that's why some of the biggest music influences - The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Radiohead and U2 - all did so well worldwide. They had and have something that the world didn't have and needed.

Ok peeps. I'm gonna go do something useful now... exactly what I'm not sure yet, but with a few hours off I'm gonna make the most of 'em. I'll probably just end up catching up on telly or going out. I'm in Toronto right now by the way; singing at Toronto Idol. There's lots to do in this city that's for sure. Sounds like a night on the town is in order!!

Something else I'm excited about is that I'm going on my first USA full band tour, which is being sponsored by Verizon.

You might have noticed that my vlogs (video blogs) have not been put up so regularly recently. Don't worry, there'll be some more of my crazy escapades coming online soon. I love bringing my camera around coz I want you lot to feel like you're on the road with me when you're watching. I want you to know how much I appreciate my fans and that I think of you wherever I go. Plus I just like vlogging... they're so much fun to make.

Watch out for me putting Perez Hilton in the hot seat as I interview him for a change (love his vh1 show by the way - really impressed that he ain't just a good blogger... but actually is a natural on TV). Also, my adventures on the upcoming tour, meeting Jordan backstage (who was actually Katie Price at the time), meeting the members of my band, plus continued behind the scenes stuff on everything that's going on!

Hey folks!

Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:45:00 +0100

Ok, apologies for such a long lapse in diary entries. I've still out in
the US promoting my album.

I sang at my first rodeo two days ago in Austin, Texas. It was
definitely a different and memorable experience for me.

Today I'm singing my new song Pocketful of Sunshine at Nickelodeon and
tomorrow I'm off to Boston to sing at my first basketball game. Then I'm
in England for a couple of days to hang out with my favourite radio man Chris Moyles. Ok,
so I have a few other things to do too and of course I'm excited that I
will see my family and my little house again after so long away.

I'm lying in bed right now having a sleep-in. It's this really cool
hotel called The Rivington. Apparently Lindsey Lohan is staying here too
but I haven't seen her yet, she's probably sleeping in too. The paps are
probably lurking somewhere outside. Glad they don't follow me around as
much as her, although she doesn't seem to mind. I'm just harder to
catch, like the gingerbread man! Because I go wherever there is a demand
for my music, I end up staying in a different hotel almost every night
or two.

Unlike some artists around I like to have fun just for the sake of it,
not just to attract attention. I do like to film things that I see or do
over here, stuff I think you on-liners will find interesting, because I
love having a visual way of staying in touch. But what's cool about
having my own camera is that I can press the on and off switch when I
want. Seriously, the camera can sometimes make you go a little mad if you're
not careful. I remember one night during a particularly intense time of
filmed interviews and videos I found myself talking to my camera in my
sleep and answering interview questions. Only when I woke I found out it
was my bedside alarm clock which had a red light, like the red light
that goes on a camera when you know its recording!

This industry is so obsessed with image and what everyone thinks of you
and I've found that you have to fight hard within yourself not to let it
affect you. That's a little of what my song Pirate Bones is about -
'It's not worth having something if it takes away who you are'... 'if I
forfeit my soul'. I'm aware that I've been labelled a good girl by some
because I'm different to some of the other female artists (the main
difference being I don't do drugs and I'm doing my best to not be messed
up). It seems like it's actually more rebellious to stay true to
yourself when everyone wants you to be something else and when everyone
seems to get more praise for doing stupid things. I don't know, I just
love music and want to keep making it forever and have people enjoy it.
That is my objective, my passion and I want to stay like that. For me,
fashion and how I look is an extension of my music because it is a form
of art. So I love that it has become such a big part of the music
industry as it's another great form of expression. But when a music
artist's image is all they have got going for them it's a sad thing
because it shouldn't be called music anymore.

I heard a story recently that the artist Prince was doing his thing on
stage when a very well known celebrity who was trying to make it as a
singer was in the crowd. Prince, well known for his love of bringing
other artists up to jam with him, asked her up and she took the mike. He
then stopped the band so she could sing a cappella and looked at her as
if to say 'now show us if you can sing'... she apparently dashed off
stage in tears.
It was her moment to shine but without instruments and without auto tune
she couldn't live up to what she wanted to be.

Ok, little commentary on crazy life is over for today :) I'm gonna go
back to my much deserved and treasured lie in!

Appreciate you all!

Video Blog: Photo Shoot

Thu, 21 Feb 2008 14:38:00 +0100

A really fun photo shoot...

From the Airport!

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:49:00 +0100

I've had a crazy party week celebrating my album's Number 3 debut week in the US, plus it was the Grammys!

Right now I'm having a thoughtful moment. I'm at the LA airport sitting in the lounge watching telly and writing at the same time. Pictured is my Cyber-shot Sony camera phone. It's cool because I can send pictures directly to my site from the phone. I took this photo with my Mac camera though... technology is crazy now. I make comic strips sometimes on this computer, I'll post some up sometime; its really cool and a great way to pass my time while I'm travelling.

The airport is another kind of home for me now. I'm like a gypsy, always on the move or like a ping pong ball on the table of the world, I'm here there and everywhere.

I haven't been home to my house in the UK for a while now though, the last time I was there was in November for the Global Angels event and that was just for one day! Dorothy is right, there really is no place like home; I wish I had little sparkly red shoes or that someone had invented teleportation because it would really save a lot of time and fix some of the whole carbon emission problems of transport too no doubt.

I guess not having everything instantly is a good thing, it probably makes you appreciate more. It's weird, we have invented all these machines to get us places quicker like escalators and cars, and to make things happen quicker like microwaves; and now we have to go to the gym to exercise and have to make an effort to stay fit. When I went to Holland they all travel everywhere on bikes. Maybe that's smart because it probably means they can get away with eating more chocolate but still stay healthy... okay, I guess I'm going off on one!

I'm gonna go now but I do want to say how grateful I am to you guys who have stuck with me and who come and check on the site and blogs. Can't say how sorry I am that the UK tour got cancelled, it's a real bummer. I'm so happy to be having a good response in the states though, and the good news for us Brits is that the US seems to be taking a liking to people from this part of the world.

I'm coming to UK for Valentines Day, will be there just 12 hours but I really cannot wait to be home!

Catch up with you soon.

Tue, 22 Jan 2008 17:15:00 +0100

Today Tuesday 22nd, my album Pocketful of Sunshine is finally out in the US.

This is me playing anchor lady at the news desk at Regis and Kelly yesterday.

I've been up since 4am this morning. At the moment I am waiting back stage at The Today Show getting ready to go live on air and sing 'Pocketful of Sunshine' for the first time on tv.

Can't wait for you to hear the album.

I've got to get ready to go on air so better go x

Pocketful Of Sunshine

Mon, 21 Jan 2008 11:32:00 +0100

Yes, finally it has arrived. I am holding a golden clear plastic wrapped copy of it here in my hands right now...

It sure is a good feeling to tangibly know that what I've worked on with such dedication is now ready to be heard.

It's called 'Pocketful of Sunshine', named after one of the songs in it.

Look out for me on telly, radio, stores, and of course keep checking my blogs!

There are some cool videos coming out soon so stay in touch.

Happy new year!

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 18:19:00 +0100

I'm writing from L.A., just back from a crazy holiday in Costa Rica - what a beautiful place! But I'm so excited to be back!

I'm getting ready to release my second US album on the 22nd January, it's called Pocketful Full of Sunshine and it's already available for pre-order on iTunes. We're gonna make the video for the next single soon too.

I've also been editing some new video blogs which should be coming out soon so keep a look out for those.

Last year was a crazy one for me but I have a feeling 08' will be even crazier!

The first gig I did after chilling out in Costa Rica (after vegging out in one pair of comfy shorts, flip-flops and no make-up for two weeks!) was in Las Vegas. Now that's two opposite extremes, I'm telling you. Finding myself in that environment was the quickest incentive to jump straight back into my high heels and eyeliner.

Stay tuned folks, I'm in so many different places this year that it'll keep you on your toes just to catch up.

Love Nat x x

Birthday blog

Wed, 05 Dec 2007 12:06:00 +0100

I went to another Global Angels gig last week, this time in London.

I flew in from the US in the morning and out again the next morning! It was crazy to come home for such a short visit but I always enjoy coming home.

I got loads of amazing birthday messages and a gift from a lot of you on my site. Somehow you knew it was my birthday and got Sue to print them all out for me. So thank you for the most wonderful comments and my little teddy bear!

Don't forget to keep your eye out for more of my video blogs (or Vlogs) of me out here in the US. And remember, send me your suggestions of crazy or fun things to do, it might just end up in one of my videos!

Oh, and don't forget to take at look over in the gallery - there's some fab pictures of the Global Angels in New York gig!

Lots more love

Global Angels NYC

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 18:09:00 +0100

I did a gig for the launch of Global Angels in New York recently, it was seriously a great gig. I'll send some pics! It was a full show from me and my sis Nikola performed a song - we even got the bonus of Dan on stage to perform his genius 'Gotta Get Through This'.

Other performers included Sean Kingston; he did some chatting over one of my songs which was wicked, the Pierces; two gorgeous sisters who sing their hearts out, and Lamont. It was an incredible event and definitely helped launch a charity that is going to have a huge positive impact on the lives of kids all over the world.

I've been getting to meet a lot of my musical heroes recently, singing several gigs on the same stage as Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson, Boys to Men, Lionel Richie, Michael McDonald and Stevie Wonder. It was pretty crazy to be billed alongside people that I admire so much.

Look out for the new videos blogs (or Vlogs) that I'll posting soon. I'm getting lots of footage of what's going on out here in the States.

Remember, send me your suggestions of crazy or fun things to do...the idea is that it might just end up in one of my videos!

Love to you lot!

Halloween in the US!

Thu, 01 Nov 2007 16:33:00 +0100

It's Halloween and I'm in the US, everyone dresses up like crazy here. Seriously, it's insane! There are girls dressed up like Amy Winehouse, Britney, nurses, bunnies - its just one big fancy dress party!

I'm at a huge radio event tonight called Wild 94.9 Boo Bomb. Rihanna, T-Pain, Ne-Yo, Soulja Boy and myself are all performing. I reckon it's gonna be a good one.

My song 'Love Like This' is starting to get quite a lot of radio play over here, it was Most Added song the last two weeks. The video got played on MTV for the first time yesterday too and it's moving up the charts on the US iTunes. The track was co- written by The Runaways, one of which is Ryan Tedder from One Republic. They're currently at the top of the charts over here with a really great song called 'Apologise'. I love it.

Looks like I'm gonna be mainly in the US for the rest of the year. I'm doing lots of radio visits and shows, TV shows and photo shoots.

Hey, I'm still video blogging! I'm gonna keep putting regular clips of what happens on the road so we can stay in touch.

I've got an idea...I'll post my schedule of where I'll be and when. What I think would be so mad yet fantastic would be if you guys can give me suggestions of what to do too in each place? I'm sure my American fans would have some tips on what's cool in their state. Or even if it's just a crazy dare or challenge from any of you that I could do to pass the time on the road. If it's a good idea then I'll do it on camera and put it straight up on this site and my YouTube/MySpace sites. I think it'll be a fun way we can stay in touch.

I'll post up my schedule soon.
