Cody Simpson/Ryan Beatty/Before You Exit Concert

I went to a Cody Simpson/Ryan Beatty/Before You Exit Concert on July 5. I had a lot of fun! My younger sister and I got there really early. She wanted to get VIP to meet Cody so she wore her Pastry shoes(a shoe company that Cody's mom is a part of) and she got lucky and she got it. We stood outside for an hour or two with a bunch of fans and Steven(Cody's tour manager) came out and started to give out VIP tickets. My sister started screaming and he came over and said, "Mrs. Simpson picked you." My sister started to freak out. She got picked by Cody's mom because we gave her candy to give to Cody. We got into his soundcheck and it was pretty cool. My sister was really happy lol. After the soundcheck my sister got to meet him and they took selfies together and it was really cute. So we got into the show and I watched Before You Exit play and I loved it because they were the second reason I was there, the first was because my little sister needed a chaperone lol. So after Before You Exit played I went out to buy water and saw two girls that were sitting bored. I sat next to them to charge my phone. I started to talk to them and found out that they were sitting in the second to last row so I gave them my seat. I sat in the lobby and felt really good because I made those two girls really happy. I know for sure that I want to do something in the music industry as a manager and make fans that happy everyday. So I sat out there messing with my phone and then saw Connor and Thomas from Before You Exit and I got pictures with them and that was really awesome. They were really nice. After the show my sister and I stuck around and got to meet the rest of the Before You Exit guys and they were all really nice. So we hung out with the boys and we took pictures and Riley and Connor took selfies of themselves lol. All in all I had a really good day that day :) Concerts are the best things in the world to me.

Music Taste

So every person in this world has some sort of music taste. My question is can't we all just appreciate all music? I mean all artist work really hard. All of them deserve to have their music be given a chance. I really hate it when people say they don't like screamo or hip hop when they have never even tried to listen to it before. How do you know if you like it or not if you never tried it? I mean at least listen to one song all the way through and then if you really don't like it then don't listen to it anymore BUT don't bash it either because someone likes it and it's rude to the artist. Yeah, they may never know that you don't like it but still. Also if you just don't like one song from that artist don't ignore all of their music because it can just happen that you don't like that one song but love the rest of the album. So basically what I'm trying to say is give these artist that you don't like a try. They deserve it. Also don't be one of those people that stop liking a person because they dated someone. Taylor Swift and Harry Styles. I see it all the time. People stop liking her or him because they broke up or whatever. Their music has nothing to do with their relationship. That's all. Listen to something that you will never listen to any other day. Give it a try you might like it. :)

Bands/Musicians/Artist

Concerts are fun and amazing but do you ever feel like it's not enough? Well I love concerts but when you go to a concert is it because you want to hear the music or see the face on the stage? For me it's mostly the music because I'm really into lyrics and the meaning of songs. I found that girls that go to a concert for just the face, leave unsatisfied. They go because they want to meet the person but sometimes that isn't likely. So you pay all that money to go to this show and don't get the chance to meet them and then leave unhappy. Is that really worth it? Why not save the money and get something that you love and can remember it as a great thing. I think bands or musicians love it when their fans like their music not just the looks. For me if I was a musician writing the songs and performing them for my fans I would want them to listen to the song and hear the lyrics I'm singing and really try to understand the song that will mean a lot to me if I wrote it. It's a lot more fulfilling to think that most of those fans out there are here for my music and not just the way I look. For bands and musicians like One Direction and Justin Bieber I would think they like it better to have fans that listen to the music they sing and not just drool over their face. Of course it's nice to hear from their fans that they look handsome or sexy or whatever weird compliment their fans can think of. lol. Music has always been an important part of my life. It's my passion. I just want to end this post with a quote from The Wanted's Nathan Sykes: 

"The songs I write that mean the most are the songs that hurt to sing"

I think this quote is amazing. Speaking of The Wanted their single "Walks Like Rihanna" is out now in the UK and Ireland so if you're in any of those places go get it. It's pretty good.

Paradise Fears

Paradise Fears is a band made up of 6 members from Vermillion, South Dakota. I met them when they didn't have much fans and just a couple songs. They grew and released an album called Yours Truly that I own and love. They tour and do amazing shows and I know this because I've been to two of them. Now they just released an E.P. that they are really proud of and so am I. It's called Battle Scars and it is truly amazing. All I have to say is they are truly an amazing, down to earth band and people really need to check this new E.P. out. Get it on itunes or their website. Just listen to it because it is really good. Listen to every word. They are a band that does everything on their own and for them to write an E.P. like this is AMAZING! True talent is what they are to me. I'm glad I get this chance to promote them because I think they deserve attention. So go to the links below you won't regret it.

Haters

Before I start this I know that for me to be talking about these people is making me a hater but I have a good reason too. I think. lol. Anyways I was reading some things on Tumblr and realized that a girl was getting hate for dedicating a blog to a band member's girlfriend. My question is why does it matter who dedicates what on a social media site when everyone does it for pretty much anything. She was saying that it was creepy for this girl to dedicate a blog to the girlfriend because she is just a normal person. Well all of the celebrities that people dedicate a blog to are normal people as well. She also mentioned that this girlfriend doesn't do anything for the fans of this band member. From what I know and I'm a fan of this band, the girlfriend is a model and she talks to and gives fashion advice to the fans on her personal Tumblr. This girl kept on mentioning that the girlfriend is only famous because she dates a celebrity. First, I don't think the girlfriend is famous or wants to get attention from anyone. Secondly, she is not only known for dating the band member. From what I remember she was the Director of Incredibly Green. It's a movement of people working together to make a healthier, smarter, and greener planet. Personally, I think this girlfriend is a really nice and good person. I know that in this fandom there are a lot of rumors that make her seem like a bad person but none of us know about their relationship besides the two that are in it and their close friends. I think haters are just people that are jealous of people that can be with their favorite bands and/or celebrities. They want the bands attention but can't get it so they say mean things to get attention. I think haters need to realize that you don't know the person and they don't deserve to be criticized by you just because they chose to love someone that had a big dream. Imagine if you got the chance to be with the celebrity of your dreams and people started to judge and criticize you because someone was jealous and made up rumors about you. You wouldn't like it. So don't do it to other people. Think before you speak/act/type. So that being said I hope this was a good enough reason and for all the haters realize the harm you can be doing. Stop it.  

District3

District3 is a british boyband from X Factor 2012. They were GMD3 before they went on The X Factor but they haven't changed at all. District3 is made up of Greg West 18, Micky Parsons 18, and Dan Ferrari-Lane 20. They are amazing and I completely love them. They have just got off their 3eek Out Tour and now they are back in the studio working on finishing up their debut E.P., hopefully being released soon. I listened to all of the songs on Youtube and I just wanted to tell all of you how much I love it. I love their music so much. I believe if you're a fan of a band or musician you should like their music more than their face. I love their music and they're good to look at! Lately I have realized that they have been tweeting less and when they do tweet they're tweeting about being tired. I'm not complaining or anything, I just want to say that I thank them for working so hard for us 3eeks(fandom name). I think District3 work harder than any other act that came off of The X Factor. They are taking a lot longer to release anything because they want it to be perfect or close to perfect when they do. They write their own stuff and work really hard plus they communicate with their fans a lot more. I know some of you may think I'm bias, but I'm not. I know acts like James Arthur and Ella Henderson work hard and write their own things too but unlike District3 they have a label behind them. District3 is doing all of this with only their manager Jayne Collins. She is amazing and I believe she will work hard to get them to where they deserve to be. I just want to promote them because they deserve it. They are an amazing band and they deserve to get big and tour the world. They deserve to spread their amazing music around the world. So if you agree with me that music and the lyrics is more important than the face of the band then give them a listen. Below are the links for everything.

P.S. I'm not saying that they are ugly because I believe they are gorgeous! I'm just saying their music is more important to me.

Inspiring People With Music

I always felt like music spoke to me and I know that sounds really silly but I believe it. Music can change a person's mood and life. I always loved the way music could inspire people. The reason I decided I wanted to become a talent manager was because I wanted to experience crowds getting bigger and bigger. Have you ever thought about how it would feel to help someone with a dream to make it and just share their music to the world. Grow with that person and their crowds. I can't wait. Music brings people together. One band can bring many different people to one place and line up and communicate and get to know each other. Music saves lives. I want to be apart of that industry so bad. I want to help people with a dream because that person with a dream can help me make my dream come true. My dream is to see people get inspired by music and to see crowds grow and music with meaningful lyrics live on because that is what matters. The lyrics.

Hi, It's Nice To Meet You!

My name is Tiffany and I'm 19 years old, well turning 20 in 15 days. I'm chinese but was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. I love music, some of my favorite bands and musicians are All Time Low, Hey Monday(when they were still around), Cassadee Pope, McFly(British Band), District3(British Boyband), Avril Lavigne, Maroon 5, and Before You Exit. I would love to become a talent manager one day and work with musicians everyday. Some people would describe me as nice, sweet, caring, and gullible at times. I can be really mean when I want to as well, so don't get on my bad side. Well that's me in a nutshell. I'm starting this blog as a public diary I guess. So I would be updating everyday when I can, if I can. I hope you enjoy reading it! :D
