Glastonbury Festival 2010

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

Glastonbury Festival boasted it’s 40th Birthday this year and to celebrate, had one of the biggest line-ups with names like Stevie Wonder, Muse, Gorillaz, Dizzee Rascal, Snoop Dogg and Rolf Harris gracing the infamous Pyramid Stage.

To honour what we knew would be an incredible weekend, we thought we’d send down our best reporter to check out what all the fuss was about…unfortunately he was busy so we asked the Chicken instead and I’m not sure that he was too happy about it…

Enjoy.

No rest for the wicked

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

With the Finals just a week away, the Finalists have had no time to rest! As well as campaigning for votes, they’ve had to get on with their normal lives too! Can you imagine??

Anyway, Quarterfinal 1 winners, Euphoria Audio, have been at it non-stop, going from London to LA, from photo shoots to performing live at Musexpo.

But enough of us rabbiting on about it. Here are the boys themselves to help guide you through their journey. Enjoy!

By the way, we mean “wicked” in a good way. Like when the cool kids say “that’s wicked”…you know what we mean…

You can get all updates from Euphoria Audio by following them on Twitter, @euphoriaaudio.

We go Gaga. . .for Gaga

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

Hello!

Annabel here from 1Click2Fame and I was lucky enough to get tickets to see Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball show at the O2 in London this weekend. It was definitely money well spent – the best concert I have ever been to (including the Black Eyed Peas and Britney in her heyday) and I want to go again!

Lady Gaga performed non-stop for 2 hours and her ‘little monsters’, as she calls her fans, had an absolutely fantastic night – as I had a standing ticket and managed to get quite near the front, the atmosphere (and heat!) was incredible. Highlights included performances of Just Dance, Paparazzi, So Happy I Could Die, a brilliant version of Stand By Me and show closer, Bad Romance. I also enjoyed the amazing costumes and the wonderfully OTT story of Gaga heading to the ‘greatest party on the planet’.

You can have a sneaky peak at the show in all its crazy, glittery glory in the video below! Apologies for the shaky camera work – I was filming while dancing and jumping up and down which was quite difficult! Has anyone else seen Gaga live in concert? Was she as good as you expected or even better?! Take part in our discussion on Facebook now!

Kate the Great!

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

We occasionally have some exciting things happen here at the 1Click offices, our weekly ‘race-a-badger’ Tuesdays, ‘bring your Gran to work’ Thursdays and not forgetting that time Bob Hoskins came in to make us all Pina Coladas.

However, when our Quarterfinal 2 winner, Katem3 stepped into the office, we hadn’t anticipated an exclusive live performance! So, with guitar in hand, Kate took to the stage (by stage we mean a table…) and sang one of her favourites, Ellie Goulding’s “Starry Eyed”.

We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Thanks Kate!

You can follow Kate’s updates on Twitter, @Katem3.

Made in LA

Monday, May 17th, 2010

After her rocking performance at Musexpo in LA, we decided to have a quick catch up with last year’s £100k winner, Lucie Evans, whilst she was having a well deserved rest on Malibu Beach! Lucky for some…

While Lucie meets top record producers, has tea with Julia Roberts and tracks down Chace Crawford, we’ll just sit here hoping we can make it to Blackpool let alone LA and play hide-and-seek with our pet goldfish, Monty.

Check out Lucie’s official website for all the latest news and updates!
