Hello my people!!!
Well as usual at this time of year there have been some highs and some lows. I mean let's face it, we all start gearing up for holidays right about now and are probably all exhausted!
I began my tour with Portsmouth and Liverpool this week which was incredible. To hear the audiences singing my songs to me was amazing. It has probably made my year! Really made me feel that whatever happens, even if my album only peeped round the corner of the top ten, I know that I've got some amazing fans! I have been filming some of them so as soon as I get the chance I will post those tour diaries up.
We have also made a new video for the next single, the title track of the album "Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful?" See the diary of the shoot and the finished product on the website or youtube. It was a great great day and so sweet of Oritse from JLS to pop by for support. He's an absolute gem. Also, the people in the audience were angels too, they all came from myspace and facebook and didn't complain once (and believe me video shoots can be deadly dull.) The video was directed by Chris Sweeny who is a real talent and such a gorgeous young man... A real catch!
After all this, I have just been so tired. After Alan Titchmarsh on Wednesday I ended up losing my voice and now its turned in to a full blown cold. I feel gutted! I had to cancel a gig for Mencap with Jo Whiley and a Pirelli Calender show as a result. It's so frustrating when you can't do your job because your body won't work. My mind really wants to just get on with it! I have been trying to get my voice back by being mute. I have been communicating only by writing in a notepad! This is quite fun for an hour or two but its been about 30hrs now and to be honest, I just want to talk! I am going to stay mute till 11pm tonight and the hope that I can sing stone cold sober for Children In Need tonight as planned! Then I will have to be mute again sat and sun so I am ready for Koko on monday in london. I am so looking forward to that show! Fingers crossed I recover!
I will keep you posted!!!!
Loads of love and thanks and kisses to you all.
