Good morning it's the 11th and the sun is not shinning, good. It gets so hot and silly me wore a jumper yesterday what an idiot. so anyway since the last time I wrote there has been sum uproar in the apartments but its so silly its funny, but that's not what I wanna talk about and your no doubt here it form the horses mouth.
we've still been training with Herman but me and Kate have been to our gym when we've had a day off, Kate has been a real inspiration to me, no-one has ever made me cry when they sing, before I came here I was about to stop singing I was just getting nowhere, I had an interview at my local food store the day of the audition and when Carl called me the night before I was so excited but in my head still thinking of that job because I knew that I might not get it. I would of had to look again for a new job and being well behind on my loan I really needed that job so the next day I got up with my boyfriend Johnny got dressed and John dropped me off at the station where I met my friend Lotty. The audition: it was a really long day and as people started to arrive people's faces weren't so happy any more, so I got up and went to the toilet and spoke to this girl and said that I would be ok if I didn't get it cos there were people here that were younger than me and I could see how much they wanted it, she was so sweet her name was Katy….
Week 1
Week 3
So its 12.22 at night and sitting in my gym stuff about to have a session, tonight the boys had a face off with TOO MUCH the boy group. They were amazing, they have so much talent, their moves are so strong and there whole attitude is great. Our boys went against them they did very well I enjoyed the performance.
The girls went up against Infinity they were just as good to but the Chancers girls did very well as they only had a day to sort it all out - well done girls!
I had a phone call to my boyfriend it was recorded and he was so nervous, he's so funny. I kind of miss him now and cant wait to see him, and I know that even if I don't win he'll be proud of me. I think I was in a cloud to day I'm in LA! Hollywood! I can't believe it. I just put my track down with Lyfe Jennings how cool is that! We spent the whole time recording - he didn't even want a break, so that was nice he was interested in me. Lyfe is a simple man he didn't have a massive entourage or demanded anything just my time and my voce I learned from life that to always be yourself and always do your best. I really liked him and I hope he liked me to and just so grateful for his time.

Week 1
Hello everyone,
Ok where do I start hummmm..., well it's only been 3 days and it feels like a week but it's been good. The plane ride out was fine I travelled with Faro my main man, Kate and Marika, and top crew Carl and Steve. When we come through arrivals we had a big surprise a stretch hummer to take us to music world, Matthew Knowles boot camp.
from the UK to America to Beyonce's Dad's boot camp in two weeks its kinda strange but I'm so happy and the crew are the best, we arrived at the boot camp and had to wait outside to go up and meet the main man Matthew Knowles, up the stairs we went and sat down on the sofa I was on the end right next to Mr Knowles oh yes I was scared yes I was, ha ha, so he was talking and telling us about the boot camp and what he wants and the rules as your probably see I was the first to talk and got slated, ha ha it was funny and I was the first to sing but we all did well. We all got a taxi back to our apartments not knowing that they were the dogs ........., we've all got our own bathrooms big old kitchen a balcony. Inside it's just so nice, there's a gym and swimming pool it's just wicked, so thank you :~) to everyone who made this possible. The next day we had to go and by sum shoes and the boys' trainers, the gallery was massive about 10 times bigger than Bluewater. When we got back to the apartments we did a bit of filming and we all got to know each other a bit better. Monday was a big day as we were picking the track to work to and progress with. I had a top day and worked with top producer, writer and singer Tray Taylor and excellent singer and writer Brendan. Tray Taylor has worked with the likes of Mary J, Aretha Franklin- top top people so it was amazing for him to help me write my song and give me one of his tracks, we jammed for about four hours and all the information they gave me about writing a song was really beneficial. That evening six of the Chancers went to Beyonce's birthday party and Mr Knowles got us all up on stage, my heart was pounding as I thought he was gonna ask us to sing, I would of been cool though, ha ha. The party was wicked and we all had a good time we walked the red carpet witch I've never done loads of photos were taken. The group NEXT was there and performed they had so much energy and good to learn from. 5,30 Tuesday yes 5,30 that's what time we had to get up and go to boot camp to work out we had to run 20 laps of the field 200 star jumps and more but I no that Mr Knowles is gonna train us much harder but that's cool I'm ready for it. Yeah.
