So, its been at least 6 months and I have been so busy I haven't had a chance to post on here, so apologies to you all. I'm currently preparing for my GCSEs, and organising the prom for my year group and playing in school concerts and trying to persuade this guy I like to go to prom with me as a friend, even though I don't want to go with him as a friend but as something more, and going out partying every night... ok, that last one's not true: I just thought I'd retain the stereotype of teenagers in the modern day.
My music has also changed over the last few months so I thought I'd post with my current top 5 favourites that I am winding my parents up by singing every single day.
1. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger by Kelly Clarkson - I've always loved Kelly Clarkson's music, every since I saw Princess Diaries 2 and 'Breakaway' was on there, but this song is possibly her best yet. It's fun, it's uplifting, it makes you want to dance and sing really loudly on the bus in the mornings, and most of all, it has this insanely good message, in contrast to so many songs in the charts about breakups and the misery of love (Adele, I'm talking to you).
2. Next to me by Emeli Sande - when I first heard this song, I hated it because all I could hear was the same line (the title) on repeat and that just wound me up (a bit like Damien Rice's 'The Blower's Daughter'). But then after the 10th time of hearing it on the radio, I got into it and now whenever it comes on I just have to join in. There's something about it that is incredibly original and unique and I'm so happy that the chart has a BRITISH soul and R&B artist in the top ten for once!
3. Cannonball by Damien Rice - I can't stand 'The Blower's Daughter' but this song is so brilliant that I can't help loving it. This is the only slow song on here - largely because who knows me knows I am so positive that slow songs just ruin my mood - but this one is so epic it has to make the list.
4. Glorious by Andreas Jackson - this is one of those old songs (ok, 12 years old one - 1999) that I've just come across. And I LOVE IT! I had it on this 'Cold Feet' CD on my iPod (Cold Feet was a Britsh show in the mid-noughties) and then never listened to it until I heard it on the radio and searched itunes for it only to find it was already on my iPod.
5. Domino by Jessie J - her absolute best yet! Another artist I am so proud to be able to say is British. This song is the ultimate party song of the moment and I love waking up to it in the mornings. It can't help but put you in a good mood.
So there you go, my 5 songs of the moment. If you haven't heard of them, I insist you go and listen to them and see if you fall in love with them as much as I have. Have a great weekend. xxx

Top 10 Feel Good Songs
10. Glad by Tyler Hilton (acoustic version) - not just because it's in One Tree Hill but it was where I first heard it. The chorus is really upbeat but the song itself is quite slow. It's great light music.
9. Kids by MGMT - very different to Glad as it sounds far more computerised but the sequence of five notes going up always makes me smile. For a clubby sing-along song with a slight hint of rock in it, this is the tune for you.
8. Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) by Katy Perry - from her latest album, this one has yet to become a hit but is my favourite of all of her's. It can't help but put you in a good mood, especially the TGIF shouting bit in the middle. Light pop music.
7. Make it Shine by the Victorious cast - perhaps a cheesy Nickelodeon show but the theme song is great to listen to when you need a boost to your day. It many ways it's very similar to Last Friday Night.
6. All Night Long by Alexandra Burke feat. Pitbull - the clubby sound to this song isn't normally something I like but here it fits perfectly and I can't help but smile. It makes you tap your feet and want to join in. Great club song.
5. Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson - the most inspirational song I have on my iPod, this song can always make me feel good about myself. It's one of the slower ones on this list but also less poppy that most. Great song to wake up to.
4. I Melt With You by Modern English - I love 80s music but this is my favourite. It isn't one of the more upbeat songs but it makes you want to dance and get the shoulder pads out... almost.
3. Someday I'll be Saturday Night by Bon Jovi - this song isn't one that at first sounds like a feel good song but the lyrics are really inspirational and there's a lot of hope in there, even if the song is one of his slower ones. It's the perfect song for when you've had a bad day.
2. Fill my Little World by The Feeling - I am obssessed by this band but this slightly cheesy song, has to be my favourite. It's light-rock and can't help but put you in a good mood.
1. There She Goes by The La's - I've listened to this song over 40 times and still it is one of my favourite songs of all time. All I have to hear is that opening rift and I feel like it's a warm summer day, even if it's the middle of winter. A great slow rock song for with some of the best instrumental sections I've ever heard!
