30,OOO PEEPS, OVER 60 ACTS, RADIO 1, FREE EVENT, UK PARTY!!!
Maidstone, Kent played host to Radio 1′S first free weekend of live music this summer!!!
I was there backstage, the weather was hot and the atmosphere was incredible..it got me thinking why can’t big urban events be like this? you know no trouble just pure good vibes!!!
Check me out in my Buggy!!
Madonna proved why she is Queen Of Pop..her stage show was on the next level!!
Over 30,000 people packed out Mote Park to see the likes of Madonna, Usher, Fatboy Slim and Usher preform a 40min set for the first time in 4 years!!!
Usher…where do I start, well I caught up with him backstage for a chat I noticed alot of changes in his life. First one his wife Tameka and son Usher 5 right by his side.
Gone is the old playa Usher ..instead we got a proud dad, husband and a more mature R&B artist in front of us. He seems so happy, he couldn’t stop smiling, and on the real it’s good to see!! Shout-out to Benny Medina who is Ushers new manager……all about making those Euros right….Yeahhhhh.Mannnnnn!!
But don’t get caught up too much, he told me since he got the ring on the finger, he has become like “Forbidden Fruit” more girls try and chat him up and get with him…….ladies tut tut tut!!!
His preformance was on point…although in parts I felt like the show was more about Usher showcasing his voice rather then busting a move, which I guess aint a bad thing right??? His new 5th album Here I Stand sounds hot!!!
The UK was in the house to, last year Dizzee Rascal was one of the highlights..this year it was all about Grime boys Wiley, Kano, Skepta and newboy Chipmunk hitting the stage together and showing unity and busting out some old-school beats and freestyles!!
It fell like a big moment for British Hip-Hop, just a shame that Lethal B didn’t make it on time he tried to dash of his set with The Gallows and jump on stage with Wiley and the boys, but with the stages being 10min away from each other…..The Bizzle didn’t make it!! {next time jump in the Bentley lol)
The Bizzle spent most of his time with no shirt on!!!!!
Big-ups to my boy DJ Target, Wiley and Skepta, they were mad cool and made so much time for fans and just gave me pure joke backstage!!!
Skepta is currently all over Youtube playing his 2008 version of 80’s TV classic Mallets Mallet…..very funny I borrowed his Mallet and got my girl Kelly Osborne to play him……By the way Skepta and Wiley exchanged numbers with Kelly O and Duffy..watch this space they all spoke about working on new music together!!!
It will either be incredible or ridiculos!!!!lol
Big-ups To Nelly who killed it on stage….I know what people say.. “Nelly is pop…..blah blah”"”" But you know what you forget this man has sold over 15 million records, and has so many club anthems under his sleeve like ‘Hot In Herre’ ‘Country Grammer ‘E.I’ ‘Flap Your Wings’ and ofcourse the grammy award winning ‘Dilemma’ with MIss Kelly
You know me……alongside talking new album ‘Brass Knuckles’ I had to ask him about his girl Ashanti….boyyyyyy it took ages before he finally admitted it!!! Like Usher he is mad happy too and says he wants to keep things private and both he and Ashanti are focusing on their new albums right now. So no plans to get married just yet!! He told me he had emailed her earlier in the day to say hi and wish her mum Happy Mothers Day…ahhhh how sweet..I think they make a cute couple…..but Nelly does like to flirt!!
Big ups to all the peeps I met!!
