The coveted Silver Clef award has been awarded to Take That for a second time, recognising an 18 year chart career. Take That, who are still in the middle of a 20 date stadium tour were first awarded the Silver Clef back in 1995.
They have now passed huge artists such as The Rolling Stones and Sir Paul McCartney, who have only won the award once in their long careers.
Other winners at this year’s ceremony at the London Hilton included Madness, who picked up the Icon award, and Queen, who were named Ambassadors of Rock. Beach Boys’ frontman Brian Wilson attended the ceremony to collect a trophy for Best International Act.
Having already completed 8 nights of their Circus tour, Take That play Hampden Park in Glasgow for three nights starting tonight (I have my tickets for Saturday safe and sound lol)
So far the boys have played The Stadium of Light (Sunderland), The Ricoh Arena (Coventry), Croke Park (Dublin) and The Cardiff Millennium Stadium. They still have to play the three nights in Glasgow, four nights at Wembley and five nights at the Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester.
This song is just gorgeous. The video is amazing. Sean Garrett has a great voice and is quite cute and to top it all off, Enrique looks just as amazing as ever.
Whilst listening to radio the other day I heard a song that I hadn’t heard for years. Singing along at the top of my voice whilst driving along the road, I decided to think of other songs that I loved and hadn’t heard for years. Here are a few of the ones that came into my head:
On 26th of October I was glued to my TV set, watching Strictly Come Dancing, waiting eagerly to see Enrique Iglesias sing live. I could not believe my luck when he started to sing “Hero”….I just love that song. Also he was looking absolutely gorgeous as ever. He has got to be one of the sexiest men on this planet!
Take That are possibly leading a boom in gig ticket sales, with UK stadium shows selling in record time despite the credit crunch.
Tickets for their 14 stadium shows - including four nights at Wembley Stadium - cost between £45 and £65 each. By 1530 GMT, only five of the dates had tickets left. Their promoters SJM said the pop band’s tour was the fastest-selling in UK history.
Other big name bands which have sold out their arena tours are AC/DC, Metallica, Oasis and The Killers have also sold out UK shows in recent weeks.
But while massive stars thrive, there are fears that a recession could hit tours by small and middle-ranking acts.
Take Thats The circus live - 2009 Tour starts on the 6th of June at The Stadium Of Light - Sunderland and moves on to play Hampden Park, Glasgow, Millenium Stadium, Cardiff, Old Trafford Cricket Ground, Manchester and Wembley Stadium, London
AND I HAVE TICKETS FOR GLASGOW……I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!
In my school years I actually adored A-Ha. they were cool and of course, Morten Harket was just gorgeous. I loved the hit single “Take On Me” and now someone has re-written the song to say exactly what is happening in the original vid…..brilliant LOL!!!
Vicky Jones from Abercwmboi in the Cynon Valley is an ‘obsessed Westlife fan and to celebrate her 40th birthday she has spent 16 hours having a tattoo of the band across her shoulders.
The mother of four says she is their greatest fan and spends about £4000 a year on Westlife, she has seen Westlife in concert 300 times!
Band members Shane, Nicky, Mark and Kian added their autographs two months ago and She then had them copied over onto her back beneath the pictures.
She said: “My children reckon I’m crazy but the tattoos are fabulous.”
Personally I am not really a Westlife fan but each to their own……and yes…..I do think she is nuts!!!
So we know that the very gorgeous Wentworth Miller appeared in Maria Carey’s music videos for her hit singles, ‘It’s Like That” and ‘We Belong Together’. But how many other now famous actors have appeared in music videos prior to their fame? To be honest there have probably been quite a few.
Here is a small collection of the ones that I know about. Enjoy!!
Josh Holloway - Star of “Command And Conquer 3″ and US Drama series “Lost” appeared in Aerosmith’s 1993 ‘Cryin’ video alongside a very young Alicia Silverstone. God I love this song!!
To be honest I was never a huge Nelly Furtado fan. But recently my opinion has changed! Since she re-vamped her career in 2006 with the release of singles such as “Promiscuous”, “Maneater”, and “All Good Things (Come to an End)” I have enjoyed her music and the fact that she looks 100 times hotter than she ever did before!
Then came the single “Give It to Me” with Timbaland and Justin Timberlake which was absolutely brilliant. So here are a few pics of Nelly taken at a photoshoot and the video to “Give It to Me”
