Diary 16.12.12

Well tonight I am going out for my birthday meal, finally! I am excited but at the same time I feel as though I could possibly get bored. Bex is coming too though which is the best part and I have a gorgeous dress to wear.

I woke up, had a coffee, put on a Cascada CD, did my weekly exercising (push ups, sit ups, weights, jumps and scissor jacks). I the stretched by touching my toes for 30 seconds and did a bit of meditation. Then, I went for a walk, came back and had a bath, read a couple chapters of my book 'Secrets' by Jacqueline Wilson, moisturized my feet, washed my hands thoroughly after being weed on by my kitten (LOL), helped my mum tidy my room and then I set out my uniform for tomorrow.

What I need to do now is my makeup, hair, get changed and apply some perfume for tonight. I don't think I am going to go all out with my hair and makeup because my dress already makes a statement. I can't wait for the food mainly, barbecue spare ribs for starter, Margarita pizza for main and then I am not sure yet for dessert. It most likely will be something chocolaty. I've been making sure that I don't eat too much today. All I have had is a Go Ahead bar.

Now it's just the fact that I have to get off my lazy bum and do something soon. I am getting a taxi there with my mum and on the way we will be picking Bex up. my Grandma and her girlfriend (no rude remarks please) are meeting us there at the Italian restaurant and that's all who is coming. I wanted my step dad to come but her has to work which I am really gutted about.

This is also the first time that Bex is going to meet my family properly. I hope she likes them because they are a bit crazy. My mum has a huge habit of laughing too much, my grandma sings a lot and Catherine... well she gets in a mood once she has had something to drink. They are a bunch of characters but I love them too much to bitch about it.

Well, I think it's time that I go get ready. Talk to you later!:)

Top 5 Beauty Products So Far!

I have decided to share with you all, the best 5 beauty products that I am really lovin' at this time of year. :3
These products are boss.

5. Oil Of Aloe Vitamin Rich Moisturizing Lotion - Enriched with Aloe Vera - pH balanced - 400ml - 60% Extra Fill

This is number five due to the smell. It's gorgeous! Obviously, because of the aloe vera in it, it is bound to smell nice. It does a good job at keeping your skin soft too.

4. Systeme - Pro Vitamin - 2 in 1 Volumising Gel Spray - With conditioner, For all hair types and Alcohol free - 250 ml

This feels so good on the hair. I was a bit sceptical at first because my sister gave me it claiming that it made her hair greasy. I didn't try it for a few months and then I though, might as well give it a go! So glad I did now. It makes my hair shiny and soft. :3
The application is also really easy to get out because it is via squirts. :P
I put this on wet hair before I blow dry it and it works wonders by making my hair soft, shiny and bouncy... A girls dream huh?

3. DermaVIO Tech Solutions - 4.8g

I have a sneaky feeling that I will be using this lip blam for a VERY long time... It's amazing. It smells nice, tastes nice, looks nice and feels nice, what's not to love? It glides on like a dream leaving your lips super soft and shiny.

2. Saffrom London Nail Polish in the colour 40

I love this nail polish brand. The formula glides on perfectly and lasts for a decent amount of time with little chipping. The colours are gorgeous too. I have a hot pink one and a red one. I would definatley purchase more colors.

1. Baylis & Harding England Skin Spa - rose, ylang ylang & patchouli - rich intensive body butter - 250ml

I love this body butter! It is definatley the best skin care/item that I have ever had. I apply it once I get out of the bath and it glides on smoothly and is spreadable which makes it even.

It smells nice, the packaging is gorgeous and it makes you feel like a superstar... honestly! Because of this product I actually can't wait to get in the bath!:3


I'm sorry that there are no pictures. This is because I don't have a camera at the moment (getting on for Christmas) and I don't want to use my phone because the picture quality is terrible...

Rebecca Joy's Birthday Plan's

I am having a Model Makeover photo shoot  I go there for about two hours, get my makeup and hair done and then I have a professional model photo taken of me. Sounds good huh? By the end, I receive a big portrait of my best photo and additional photo's cost more. They will be edited too.

I think all of this cost's around £30-£40 from Argos as a package.

I can't wait!<3

Edward's Scissorhands

Once upon a time in a castle high on a hill lived an inventor whose greatest creation was named Edward. Although Edward had an irresistible charm, he wasn't quite perfect. The inventor's sudden death left him unfinished, with sharp shears of metal for hands. Edward lived alone in the darkness until one day a kind Avon lady took him home to live with her family. And so began Edward's fantastical adventures in a pastel paradise known as Suburbia. 

From Tim Burton, the director of "Sleepy Hollow" and "Mars Attacks," comes an unforgettable fairy tale about a most unusual character. Starring Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest and Vincent Prince as the Inventor.

I love this film. I would say it is entertaining, romantic, comical and haunting. Johnny Depp acted exceptionally well in this film, I can only imagine how hard it must have been to play the character Edward Scissorhands who has been trapped in a cold dark mansion most of his life. Another thing is, I like the idea of how the ''Monster'' was invented by a lonely old man and his experiments. It is basically an updated version of Frankenstein. I do feel sorry for the main character as it must be really hard to have hands made of sheers.

The whole idea of the Avon lady is great as it is a modern twist to the old tale. I don't understand how one minute she is scared of him and the next she is letting him live with her but you never get answers from films. This character realises that Edward is different and therefore, she takes him in as one of her own offering him the help and support he needs. I think to some point, she does take an advantage of Edward as a practice of makeup but she does grow an attachment and she does mean well. The fact that she takes this strange character home to show her kids and husband is just comical. Edward gets more interested in the family photo's, especially of the blonde daughter. The best thing about Edward is the fact that he looks terrifying but he is more kindhearted than most of the human characters in the story.

The makeup and costume of Johnny Depp's characters is just fantastic. It is like a nightmare with a nineties twist. The addition of Edward's skill is also a good idea (cutting bushes into shapes) as it gives the storyline some edginess. The fact that Edward then goes on to cutting hair and becoming very popular is just another twist. The character in itself is phenomenal.

The downfall of the story is when Edward becomes an outcast once again as he is being blamed for many things. Tim Burton seems to relate to Edwards story. The way he shows the acceptance of an abnormal being and then Edward loosing the popularity shows this. Also, Edward is announced as a freak, a fake and a demon. This is shown when he rejects a housewife who tries to 'get it on' with him, a teen bully who forces him into crime and when Edward tries to touch the people he loves, he makes them bleed.

Finally, Edward doesn't get what he wants in the end. He looses his loved one and begins a life of loneliness once again. The only bad thing that I could say is that the way the film was staged wasn't the best. However, Tim's ideas are brilliant. the fact that Kim (Edward's love) goes from being scared of even looking at him to falling in love with him is the most romantic even though her friends do not support the idea. She eventually comes to cherish Edward due to his devotion to her. The best scene of the film is when Edward makes an ice sculpture of her and she begins to dance in the grains of ice which are falling down - almost like snow. This is a way of Edward showing his feelings through his art. The intimacy level at this stage is beautiful. The two characters almost switch feelings as there is one point near the end of the film where Edward pulls back his arms in fear but Kim then goes ahead and wraps his scissored hands around her back showing courage. The climax is also quite wonderful. this film isn't perfect but it is 99% there.

OOTD #4

I am terribly sorry for the picture quality. Basically, I am wearing a white top with an outline of a tiger on it and sequins on top with blue jeans which have knee ruffles on (you can't see this). I was also wearing a black tank top underneath because it can be see through. I wore this with white sandals, white scarf, white gloves, black coat and white ear muffs.

I wore this out Christmas shopping with my sister. I also went to McDonald's and the bus station! xD

For my hair, I slept in plaits which made it wavy. I then just left it down and care-less.

My makeup was very simple. I didn't wear foundation or concealer due to my problemed skin which I have gained recently and I didn't want to make it worse. I put a little bit of bronzer on my cheekbones followed by mascara. For the lips, I added on a lipstick using a lip brush and then went ahead and applied it using the actual lipstick in the end. Then to finish off I added some pink gloss and it was done. You can't see this in the picture though because I took it just before I got changed into my PJ's.

I didn't wear any jewelry apart from a necklace which I recieved from an old boyfriend. It is really silver, has a dainty chain and is finished with a silver love heart which hangs neatly on the chest. I adore it.

The perfume I used was Mirella - Dreams.

How much? and Where did you get it?
Necklace - Ex Boyfriend
Top - Moda £7.99
Jeans - Local Denim Clothing Shop £10
Socks - Primark £1.50 (for pack of two)
Black Tank Top - Primark £3

Diary Entry #2

First of all, I can say that my diet is going well. I think there has only been two occasions where I have gone past 1,200 calories per day. I have gifted myself with the ability to be able to eat what I want during Christmas time. That's starting tomorrow. I can't wait because I literally get to stop my diet and start on my Simpson's advent calender, all on the same day! That way, when I go for a meal on my birthday I won't have to watch what I eat too.

These days have consisted of blankets, hot chocolates, teddy bears and sleep. It's what usually happens around Christmas time. I don't think I am the only one who does this. It is horrible getting up to go to school on a morning though, I am usually so tired and then I have to go out into the freezing cold wearing a coat which is broken and trying to double up one socks, tops and head gear. I am going to start wearing my gloves, ear muffs and hat though starting from tomorrow.

I am going to mention tomorrow a lot actually but I am going Christmas shopping with my sister. I am not quite sure what to get her or my mum but I am thinking about getting my mum some new slippers or a dressing gown and I will get my sister maybe some new makeup since she always seems to be taking mine. I think that's a good enough reason. It's a good job they don't read my blog as they would now know what I am planning to get them both.

I am even thinking about getting something for my Cat. My Cat must be my prize possession, I would be lost without her. I thought I would get her a little present to say thank you for all of them nights that she has laid on my bed whilst I have been in tears and she has listened to my problems and then offered a hug. I think that is adorable. It is why I love Cat's the most. I must sound insane but I adore how they are so understanding.

Anyway, changing the subject to a lesser matter, I had to participate in my final performance for my speaking and listening in English today. I ranted on about the change from GCSE's to O-levels. I honestly thought I had done rubbish because it sounded more like a formal letter to the prime minister rather than a speech for my English. Turns out, I ended up with an A*! I was over the moon. I couldn't wait to get home and tell my mum and make her proud of me. :P

My sister has moved out as well. Finally. I do sort of miss her though, I get dead lonely in the house on my own. Especially when my mum is working late night shifts like she was yesterday. I feel like there is someone watching over me but I think that's just my mind playing tricks because no one is in the house. The only thing I like about being on my own is the fact that I can sing as loud as I want without anybody hearing me. Unless the neighbors hear me but... Hey ho!

I also went to the doctors the other day about my constant headaches. I normally get really bad headaches about 4-5 times per week and that's not even exaggerating! Since I went to the doctors and he told me to keep a headache diary, it is just typical that I am not getting headaches anymore. I don't see what has changed. My body must be playing up or something. He did switch these pills I have to take though to see if that would work even though I haven't started taking them yet.

I am actually getting annoy right now as I am typing this. I might sound a brat but there are a lot of drunk people in my house and that's one thing I cannot stand. Especially my mum, when she gets drunk she just laughs none stop but it is one of them laughs that is so frustrating. I literally want to tape her mouth shut. I just hope to God that they go by the time I go to bed because they are being really loud and I am exhausted so I am in no mood to loose any more sleep.

Today's observation: I am going to kill someone if they don't shut their mouths.

Looks For Less + Update!

Here's another post. I don't know if me posting every day annoys you or if you prefer it as it gives you something to read but if you would prefer me not to then please comment and tell me. It's so cold in the UK at the moment. Everywhere is flooding too so when I see it on the news, I begin to panick. If I randomly disapear for a while then you know that my house has been flooded. It's awful when walking to school. Right now as I am typing this, it is 2 degrees where I live.

Anyway, I have picked my college options now. I personally think it is the wrong timing with stress for exams and coursework but nevertheless, I have done it. I have even applied. It does have a lot of disadvantages though since I have to go to school when it has finished to check out the different subjects that I have chosen. Tonight, I am even going to school to look at universities opportunities. How fun? -.-

I do like the options I have chosen but at the same time I know that I am going to get stressed out with English Language and History. My other options are Drama and Sociology. It's known to be a good balance as I have a relaxing subject (Drama) as well as the full on ones.

I'm actually looking forward to it. I also can't wait to meet the newbies. I must admit though that I am looking forward to being in half of my lessons with my best friend. That just makes it much more fun and interesting. I think I will love Drama and Sociology the best due to them being laid-back and fun. Although, I don't actually know what Sociology is like. 

It's a good thing that I know all of the staff because I am going to sixth form in my school. I know which History teachers I have got already and that's a good combination, I like both of my Drama teachers and I don't really know about my English. All I know is that I hope that I don't have my current teacher. It just makes like so much easier when you like your teachers. Furthermore, I can't wait to go to college in fancy dress trying to collect money from the students. The list just goes on... I am looking forward to not having to do P.E! I will just take regular walks to keep fit. My best friend is in two of my subjects, English Lang and History. Which I am so glad about since they are the boring subjects. We are going to go crazy! :L

We will just laugh all the way through our lessons and she is really smart which is always a bonus for me. ;)

I just hope we get to listen to music and stuff still. That will be good. 

Moving on, that's enough of school. I got this idea from another blog and thought it was a fun idea so I attempted it. I am going to do three different celebrity 'looks for less'. These are three of my idols. Firstly, Hayley Williams is the singer of Paramore. I think she is unique and quirky. I really like what she wears and particulary her makeup. She is a rock band singer so obviously her style is 'rock'n'roll'. I wish I looked like her. She is so pretty. She keeps it very natural most of the time too. Then there is Selena Gomez whom I think is just so adorable. Lastly, there is Lauren Conrad who always looks good.

Here are the celebrity 'looks for less'. 

1. Hayley's makeup- I really love the makeup here. This would be the makeup to wear if you was heading out to a party. The only negative thing would be that it matches her hair color. It's a fun look to try. I really like how she hasn't over-done her lips too. 

You may not be able to see the writing so I will re-write it...

Maybeline Superstay 24 Dual Ended Lipstick - £8.99

(I can't read the one above that)

Maybeline EyeStudio Color Plush Silk Eyeshadow £6.23

Maybeline Lash Blast Mascara £4.32

Maybelline Express Finish Nail Polish £1.99

2. Selena's outfit- I really love how this outfit is so casual.This is perfect for going out shopping with your friends. I particularly love the heels!

White Button Smocked Hem Fringed Blouse – Forever 21 £11.10

Blue Black Dark Fitted Boot Cute Jeans – Old Navy £12.47

Silver Cut Out Bangle – Forever 21 £3.62

Silver Laser Etched Disc Earrings – Forever 21 £2.37

Silver Polished & Studded Heart Necklace – Forever 21 £3.62

Madden Girl Black Peep Toe Pumps – Zappos.com £31.11

4. Lauren Conrad's outfit- This is my favorite. It's just a shame that it is the most expensive. It looks like Lauren was shopping whilst wearing this. This is my favorite because it is girly. She looks really cute. I like the colour too as it is not exactly white. It just looks classy. I also think that the handbag finished it off. She looks amazing. I just love it all. 

Dress: £27.74 at dELiAs

Sunglasses: Wet Seal, £4.68

Bracelet: £9.34 at Target.

I hope you all enjoyed my 'looks for less'. That's it for now. I have to prepare for the uni talk and eat some Haribo Tangfastics.

School Photo's

Last week in form, I got my school photo back. It is terrible! I am being serious when I say that I look like a stoned chipmunk! The bad part is that I can't get the whole year photo without obtaining the horrid one! The day I got it taken was alright, I didn't have any obligations to why I shouldn't have my picture taken. It's just the fact that the flash of the camera made me automatically shut my eyes! Now they are half closed. -.- What  makes me laugh is when all of the 'popular's' are always complaining about their pictures saying 'my hair is awful!'...'omg look at my smile'... and I just look at them in disgust because I know they have it much better than me. That's one thing that frustrates me. It had to be me.

My year photo was alright. Even though I was at the front (because I am so small, I could be a munchkin). I just think that out of all of the year photo's such as year 7, year 9 and year 11, we should be allowed to choose which one we want. I would definatley choose my year 9 one due to the fact that I have long hair and on the day of the year 7 one, it was really windy so I don't even have to explain what my hair looked like! Anyway, I am not letting my mum buy the photo. I simply refuse. No way. I would rather have a picture of me as a naked baby hung on the wall than that.

I got this idea from Cat - http://cat-throughacatseyes.blogspot.co.uk (check her out, she is awesome)
Sorry to steal it, you can comment if you don't want me to!:)

Today's observation: When watching 'The Chase' on television, if you count the amount of words in the question and then count to that number by going through the answers, you usually (not all the time) get the correct answer. For example, How old am I? A: 15 B: 14 C:13?
The answer is A because you count to four. If that makes any sense.

Stardust

"A glorious fantastical adventure," raves Daily Mirror's Mark Adams for Stardust an epic fairy tale starring Claire Danes with Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro. A beautiful girl (Sienna Miller), Tristan (Charlie Cox) promises to bring her a falling star but he is shocked by the adventure of his life when he discovers the star is actually a celestial beauty named Yvaine. When an old witch Lamia (Pfeiffer) attempts to steal Yvaine's youth, Tristan must protect her at all times/ This magical fairy tale like no other will make you laugh out loud and believe in love again.

This movie is a good movie when it comes to action. If you are one of them people who like an action packed film rather than a quiet one, this will be for you. I really like the combination of a love story with action as it is something different and shows two sides of a 'story'. Also, although the movie can be a bit hard to follow the first time you watch it, you soon pick up the story line when you watch it for the second time and try to really understand it.

However, the down fall of this movie would be the fact that, even though the blurb says it will make you 'laugh out loud' I personally don't think this movie would do that. Unless, you are the one of few people who laugh at anything... I would say that it tries to be funny but it really doesn't succeed. The closest to funniest part of the film would be when the captain dresses up as a lady and begins to dance around with a feather boa.

To summarize, the film has many genre's included which makes it suitable for many types of audience. Furthermore, it is not gory and has no sex scene's which makes it suitable for all ages too. Stardust is a fantastic film to watch with the family and has many aspects to create an exciting and eventful atmosphere. This movie would be better off to watch in the cinema but since it is not playing there anymore, I would suggest watching it on a bit screen TV with surround sound to get the best out of the DVD.

Rating: 7/10

R&B

Even though I am one of them people who ALWAYS seem to listen to my rock songs, I do like other music too. For example, R&B. My favorite song has got to be f**k it by Eamon. Seriously! I have been listening to this song over and over again. I love it. It really shows I feel to a certain somebody at the moment. I am sure that most of you have heard of it if you are the same age as me, it was a very popular song when it first come out.

So here it is:)

Love it!

Fishtail Braided Bangs

Firstly, a fish tail braid is a great way to make a statement without having to do much. I did try to braid all of my hair but since it is layered I didn't have good luck with that. So, due to that I decided to use my bangs and do it that way.

If you don't know how to do a fishtail braid, here is a video showing you how you can do it!:

It's pretty simple really!

Here are a couple of photo's showing you the finishing result:

OOTD #3

For this outfit I am wearing a cropped white cardigan, blue tank top, jeans and fluffy socks. I would pair this outfit with some knee high heeled black boots.

I was planning on wearing this outfit to my dads which means I would be casually walking around town wearing it, going in the pub, going shopping etc... To sum up, basically this is a comfy, casual and cute outfit. I would also add a white scarf if the weather was colder than usual (which is normally is in England unfortunately).

For my hair, I straightened it and french twisted my bangs out of my face. I then clipped it in place with a white and light pink flower bobby pin.
As for make-up, due to my outfit and hair being cute and sweet I thought I would have a heavy eyed look. I have black liner lining my lids and lower lashline and then the eyeshadow is a beautiful dark gold which fades as it gets nearer the browbone.I have no cosmetics on my face as I feel as though I don't need them at this moment of time. For my lips, I have nothing on them either because it would be overpowering due to my eye look.
I have no jewelry on (for a change).
My perfume is Mirella - Dreams.

How much and where did you get it?
Cardigan - I can't remember because I got it about 8 years ago...
Tank Top - I think it will have been from Primark but I am not sure because I got it given from my sister. Also, I think it will have been round about £6 but I don't know exactly.
Jeans - Local 'Denim' shop £11 (I think)
Socks - Primark for a pack of two £1.50 (Kiddie's section)

My life #1

I hate school. Well I don't I hate the people in it mostly. It is filled with snobs who do their makeup and backcomb their hair every five minutes... literally!
Another thing which I dislike is the fact that the smart people get ignored and are seen as 'vermin' whereas, the stupid people who claim that they 'can't read' are the top of the school chain.
There are some days where I don't want to go to school just because them kind of people annoy me but then I think of the disadvantages of not going such as loads of catch up.

English is one of my worst subjects at school. It used to be my favorite because my teacher was awesome and the tasks were easy. Nowadays, I have to do three things at once... Comparing poetry with Romeo and Juliet, Exam preparation and a speaking and listening assessment. I don't even like thinking about it. If it was up to me, I would be doing one thing in English and that is sleeping. Additionally, I don't have any friends to sit with in my English. I don't get rude comments from anybody I just get lonely. There is one girl who sits next to me but she only sits there because she likes me to check over her work and correct it. I do feel a bit used for that but at the same time, it gives me someone to talk to.
My teacher is alright. She brings in chocolate sometimes because she knows that all of the English work is taxing and hard work. However, her voice is really annoying. It has a nazel tone and she always says 'okay' in a really strange way.

My favorite subject would have to be History. I think this is just because I am quite good at that. We aren't doing anything interesting, it actually makes the subjects seem much boring than they actually are. For example, I am learning about the 'Swinging Sixties' and I thought that would be great! However, I was proven wrong. There is too much source analysis and comparisons. I use the technique of writing random ideas down and using big vocabulary. This normally works in my defense.

Drama is quite a good subject too. I have my best friend in there with me and we just laugh about anything we can find. On rare occasions, we even get this lad called Daniel to work with us when we have to be in three's. Last lesson, I just spent eating M&Ms. You can see why I like this subject.

It was terrible in I.T. I started crying. In my last post I mentioned my ex breaking up with me. Well basically, he 'dumped' me for another girl. I found out in I.T and I just lost it. I felt like such an idiot. Thank God it was only the two close friends that was sat next to me who noticed. Although, Sir nearly realized but he didn't because this guy called Connar shooed him away. I am known at school for my crying because I have had a lot of bullying issues and family issues in my time. Student Services have left me alone about that now.

My mum finally got a job! Horaay! I am really happy for her. She has been wanting a job for ages now. It is in a pub but at least she has got one. It gets her out of the house (she is on of them people who hates sitting around all day). It has been quite difficult for her since she wasn't that great in school but I really do appreciate the hard work and effort which she puts into everything. I love coming home and seeing my mum. Most teenagers hate their parents but when it comes to my mum, I adore her. When she smiles it always perks up my afternoons after school. It may sound cheesy but... hey ho!

I was walking home today and I nearly got run over! I guess it was my own fault because I was texting Bex about her near death experience (how ironic?) and I walked past a car park. I didn't know at the time that a car was pulling out. Although, I do think they wanted to run me over at the same time. This is probobaly due to the teenage stereotype. They don't know that I am one of the few people who are actually not disrespectful to this society.

Update on life!

Please speak softly, for they will hear us
And they'll find out why we don't trust them
Speak up dear, 'cause I cannot hear you
I need to know why we don't trust them

Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power

Where can I turn? 'Cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertainty, I'm so unsure
Tell me why I feel so alone 
'Cause I need to know to whom do I owe

Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power

I thought that we'd make it
Because you said that we'd make it through
And when all security fails
Will you be there to help me through?

Explain to me this conspiracy against me
And tell me how I've lost my power
How?

How I've lost my power?

Life has been average recently. I am having an over-flow of emotions one day and the next I am calm and can manage to crack a smile when I see an old couple acting adorable. I am usually quite an up-beat person... What has changed me is my latest break up. I can't really complain though because I should of seen it coming. Anyway, that's enough on that.

To explain the song, basically, it is how I feel right now. Confused. 

I must admit that I have wondered if the type of music I listen to is one of the things that is affecting my mood but then I just put family guy on. 

I listen to music ALL the time. On the bus, to the shops, at home, at my dads, whilst i'm blogging... 

My favorite bands are Paramore, My Chemical Romance, The Pretty Reckless and Sleeping With Sirens. I will list my favorite songs at the moment by them individual bands.

Paramore = Rewind

My Chemical Romance = Party Poison

The Pretty Reckless = Hit Me Like A Man

Sleeping With Sirens = All My Heart

Other songs which I have been madly listening to over and over again include; All That I am by Roxanne Emery; Bite My Tongue by You Me At Six & Oli Sykes; Bring Me To Life By Evanescence; Dear Maria, Count Me In by All Time Low; Mountains by Biffy Clyro; Photograph by Nickelback; Porcelain Doll by Megan McCauley; Stay Awhile by Quincy Ft. Kendre; So In Love With You by Jessica Reedy; The Few That Remain by Set Your Goals; The Last Song I'm Wasting On You by Evanescence; Ugly Side by Blue October; We Are Young by FUN; Hard by Will.I.Am, Jennifer Lopez and Mick Jagger and last but not least, Zombie by The Cranberries.

What do you think?
