Overnight superstars.

Most of the Uk’s population would love to be a superstar, and that’s to reality TV programmes this has got a lot easier over the years. The tradition of being on a show presetng your self talent to the nationa, in suchs such as “britians got talent” and “ Xfactor” has long gone, and even now from your first autition you can become an overnight celbrity.

Cher Lloyd for instants is a key example of this. In the last seires of the Xfactor she had one of the most famous auditions throught the 8 years of the show, when she sang her hiphop rendition of “ turn my swag on “. The cover was so good she was contacted by the offcial singer and songwriters of the song and was broadcasted all over the world with an amazing 8.4 million views and accounting.

Has reality TV gotten to powerful and is it a good the era is coming to an end?

Trend by Trend

So this is week three of my blog post, and I’ve decided to focus again on another trend topic which affects me in a major way while social networking!

Joining twitter this year I’ve found it useful to gain many contacts on a networking side of things, but it also opens you up to a world of social thinking and what people really think.

In particular, on every persons Twitter home page there is a *TT box this standing for Twitter Trend keeps you up to date with trends are current, and depending on the social impact they can change within days, hours, or even weeks.

This can vary from what program has just came on TV, to what viral inter link has just spread round, as long as it impacts the majority while talk about in, and give you a chance not for you to be left out either.

For example the “Yeo Valley” advertisment which premiered on prime time TV in between the X factor break. The advert involved rapping farmers decribing how great their milk is.

The UK Music Industry Has To Step Up Its 'Game' Thanks to 'SB'

The Music Industry playing a big part in my life, there has been noticeable drastic changes in the way the music system has had to work to reach an audience that still appreciates the music, I could talk to hours about this topic but here is the quick over view!

Jamal Edwards also known as ‘SB’, is not your ordinary 19 year old boy from London, it all started at the age of 16 he had a keen interest for filming & music. He saw a slight gap in the market and combined this together with a camera given to him by his mum for Christmas, and set up a YouTube account to help establish his own media company “SB.TV” which is now today in its own right the UK’s Number 1 online broadcasting youth lifestyle channel. With over 20 million views, and now averaging 1 million views a month.

The channel with caters for urban youths like myself which plays a variety of “Grime” & “R’n’B” and gives viewer the chance to get closer to an artist, experience their rise to global recognition for example “Tinie Tempah, Tinchy Stryder & Chipmunk”. This has kind of pushed the need of the mainstream further away from the target audience they ever so want to reach.

This has become a favourite with global artists as well as music fans, with people across from America such as former Destiny’s child member “Kelly Rowland” doing an interview and others like “Drake, Trey Songz, RedOne” and many more. This simple hobby with took the UK by storm by an YouTube account, and has changed the way in which music labels think. Instead of creating an artist, for the public they have been forced to find artist’s that have generated their publicity because people just don’t want to see the same old generic “top 10 music” anymore. As well as this, advert companies have realises if they still want to reach their audience getting of “SB.TV” is a must! So their is many instances where, companies now pay to get their adverts played before one of “SB’s”
videos, in a TV type situation... and this is only the start!


A Product Branded by 'SB' "A64" which is a current big hit giving the chance for artist to do Acoustic covers.


Im a big fan of London Artist Devlin, But The Last Time I Checked.. "The Sun" was a newspaper.. Now they are bringing out similar Videos. Underground Music/Videos Trending?, I think so.
