The Wanted

I couldn't of wished for a better day!! It was so amazing! I woke up at 6am to catch a train at 7. The Wanted were doing a private gig for some competition winners at a Radio station station in Richmond (a close suburb of Melbourne). So mum and I found our way from Richmond train station at 9 o'clock to the radio stations building, and saw all these obvious #TWFanmily members sitting under shelter near the entrance to the building. I sit down with 3 girls (Emily, Maddie and Imogen)and they tell me how they have been there since 3 am this morning! DEDICATION!!! Anyway, I wait for about an hour and one of my Twitter friends, Claudia showed up! It was so awesome to meet her again! We sat for about an hour in the cold! D: Everytime a car would drive past, Claudia and I would look and sometimes stand up. At about 10:30, everyone was starting to lose hope. The terms and conditions of the compeitition had said that the gig would start at 10:30! Claudia and I saw this white car start to pull into the drive way waiting for the boom gate to open. Only us two saw this! We stood up and went outside the shelter and noticed that this white car had two big black four wheeled drives following it! The windows were completly black and you couldn't see through them. We stood there for a good 2 minutes trying to look through these tinted windows but they were just so black! Impossible to see through! I was looking at the first black car for a while when suddenly a hand waved at me! Confused, Claudia and I waved back! I think It was Big Kev, The Wanted's security guy!!! Finally the white car got through the boom gateand drived through to the carpark. I'm pretty sure I shouted "THEY'RE HERE!". And Claudia and I ran to the carpark and saw the car and everyone screaming. Nathan had opened the door and was waving! Tbh the first few things I thought when I saw him were 1. He's so white! 2. He's skin is so clear! 3. OMG HE'S REAL! He hopped out of the car along with the other boys and was still waving. He looked shocked to be honest. hahaha. Then I yelled out "HELLO NATHAN!". He looked around, and look at me and said "Hello!" I was so happy so once all the boys got out of the car they had to walk up a ramp into the building. Claudia and I (The smarties we are!) were standing at the edge of that ramp. I saw Tom walking up the ramp when he turned his head, saw me, and literally leaned over the give me a hug! I reached back and he gave me a hug for like a second kiss on the cheek! Then he did the same with Claudia!! It was so amazing! We were the first girls to get hugs/kisses off them today! Everyone was really happy for us too! Claudia and i literally started screaming and crying and we hugged eachother! It was so amazing! Then the drivers had to park the cars so we had to move. Then everyone started moving into the building. We followed them and we all sat in the lobby on the floor. There was around 30 o 40 of us by the way. So we're waiting when this girl, sitting near a broken elevater says "I think I can hear CTS coming through this elevator!" I walked over with Claudia and I could hear a guitar playing! Then I said "Oh my god! I can actually hear a guitar playing!" Of course everyone ran over and tried to listen. We all piled into the broken elevater but then all we could hear was creepy elevater music! "-.- So we're sitting down for about half and hour when this angry short dude wearing a scarf comes down and says "BE QUIET! WE HAVE BUSINESSES AND THEY'RE TRYING TO WORK! IF YOU DONT BE QUIET WE'LL KICK YOU OUT INTO THE RAIN!" "-.- After a full hour and a half of waiting the elevater starts to move. Competition winners are coming down. Then papaperazzi. Then a really familer group of people came down. The room when silent then someone yelled "BRIAN!" It was The Wanted's hair stylist! He looked quite scared actually! Then the angry scarf guy comes out and says "Everybody stand back! The guys are abaout to come down. Let them come to you and don't jump all over them. They will come to you!" Then the elevater started to open and out popped Big Kev! The boys followed and they spread arounf the little half circle we had made!! Max the closest to me and when he go to me I said "Hi Max!" and he said "Hi!" I said "Here you go". He said "What's this?!" I said "It's a Kookaburra!" He said "Aww wicked! Thats awesome!" He was much quiter than i expected. I really expected him to be crazy and jumping around everywhere like Tom was! haha! His accent wasn't as thick as at sounds in the flips. Then we got a picture! Some guy from the Herald Sun was there and took a picture of us two together! But mum as taking one at the same two. So unfortunantly Max was looking at the Photographer and I was looking at mum so my picture didnt turn out well :( Then after a bit I saw Nathan getting close! He was so much taller than I had expected! He was holding a coke can so I was like "Everybody get coke....CA COLA!" :3 Then he got closer to me and I said "Hi Nathan!" And he said "Hello!" He gave me the best hug and asked me "How have you been?" I was like "Good!" It was the longest and best hug I have ever had. He like held me forever and he was stroking my arm and he smelt so good :') haha! Then he finally let go and I handed him a stuffed koala! He said "Whats this?!" And I said "A koala!" He was like "Aww cute! Thanx so much!" And i think he gave me another hug. (Sorry can't remember. It was such a blur!) Then my mum was like "Can I have a hug off Nathan?" and he's like "Aww come here!" and he gave her a hug and mum said "Have a great time in Australia/" and he said "Aww thank you. Thank you very much." Then mum pointed to me and said "This is my little girl!" (How embarresing)and he said "Hey?" and she repeated myself. Then he said "Aww Bless her! She's so cute!" ASDFGHJKL;;''DLL;KNYEDF Then he said (I guess referring to Melbourne) "Its really good. It's so nice! I wish it was a bit hotter!" Then he got a hug with Claudia then BOOM Siva appeared! I was like OMG SIVA'S CHEECKBONES HOLY CRAP! He finally got to me after getting pictures with all the other girls. I said "Hi Siva!" and he said "Hello!" and he gave me a hug! Then said to Claudia "Do you want a hug?" and shes like "SURE!" Then he said to mum,"Come here darling" and gave her a hug! Mum said he kissed her on the neck! Then I handed him the NOW FAMOUS toy platypus! and I'm like Platypus! and then he said "Thank you so much!" Then we got a picture and he walked away. Then I realized I hadn't had my hoodie signed by anyone yet! I ran to Siva and I said "Siva! Could you please do me a favour and sign my jumper?" and he's like "Yea sure!" HE SIGNED MY JACKET! OMG! And we made eye contact while I asked him :') Then I was like, AHHH CRAP! JAY! So I bolt to Jay on the other side of the room and I was fangirling. :3 Then the angry guy with a scarf, is like "GOTTA GO GUYS! SORRY GUYS!" And everyone was like awww nooo! Even though the angry scarf guy said that the boys continued to hug and meet fans! The angry scarf dude said it again while Jay was hugging another girl and I think he could tell I looked so dissapointed. :( We made eye-contact through the girl he was hugging at the time's hair and once he let go of her, I quickly gave him the toy emu I had for him and he said "Awww! Come here!" adn he pulled me in a gave me a huge hug and a kiss on the check!! :') Then he said "Do you want a picture?" and I'm like "YES!" So we got a picture and then he left :( I didn't get to see them leave but I did yell bye. Hot hits had another competition was to go on a shopping spree with TW at a massive shopping centre called Melbourne Centeral. So mum, Claudia and I caught the tram and the train and found Emily, Maddie and Imogene and followed them around until we got to "The corner". The terms and conditions of this prize said that TW would arrive at 1:30 but they were an hour late! haha. There were us 5 girls sitting on these seats for an hour meeting the boys and when we saw everyone running, we chased after them to see that The Wanted were in a shop. They were picking up tops and showing them to the girl who won the comp. Jay put a hat on Max while he was talking to one of the shop guys ahha. Then they moved to another shop. Nobody was allowed in these shops while they were there. Claudia and I later moved down and waited. TW walked down near us and I was baout 5 metres from Max and I shouted out "Hello Max!" and he looked at me and said "Hello!" He waved and then winked! I WAS LIKE AJDURGFBNF. They walked into a sports shop and Jay picked up this red shoe. Then I stood on my tip toes, as I was at the back of the crowd and pointed my ipod at the store to take a video. I could see Max. We made eye contact again and he pointed at me like I was in trouble! hahaha!! The Claudia and I went down the escultor, which takes you outside. We found a black car like the one they arrived in at the radio station. Then we saw them come down and walk to the car. Max shut the door and then he opened it again! Max pulled this little girl from the crowd into the car and her dad got a picture :') It was so cute! Then they shut the door again and left! We all shouted goodbye and it was amazing! Once they left, Claudia and I went back to the shops they were in and took pictures with the clothes they touched! :') We even looked in the mirror Tom looked in :3 When i finally got home at 6pm I checkeed Twitter and Siva had tweeted the Platypus I gave him!!!! AND MY NAME WAS TRENDING IN AUSTRALIA!! AHH! It was the best day of my life!! If you are reading this... you obviously like reading. I think I go into depth too much........hahaha......awkward.....this has been a long twit longer....that must make it a twitlongerererer.....Today was perfect! I couldnt of asked for anything better!

Cheryl Cole

Well, on the 1st of December 2012 i met Cheryl Cole. I only found out a few days before that she was doing a book signing for her book 'Cheryl: My Story' so i begged my mum to let me go. She said yes but it was part of my christmas presents. I was so happy and rang all of my friends to tell them! On the saturday i got ready and had butterflies in my belly all morning, i couldnt believe it! i was on the train with my mum it took us a while to get to London as i am from Preston but it was worth it. We finally arrived in London and we walked around for an hour or two as we had plenty of time before meeting Cheryl. At about 1.45pm we set off to find the hotel where we would meet Cheryl, we finally found it and there was a que outside.. it was not that big though. I got speaking to some soldiers and they were all lovely! The staff at the hotel were really nice, when we got inside it was so big and posh. You could see the table with loads of books, thats where Cheryl would be sitting in a few hours. I just could not believe it. There was free tea and coffee and the staff came round with choclates for everyone! As the time got nearer everyone started chanting 'CHERYL!! Cheryl!!' The atmosphere was amazing! Cheryl walked out and everyone started screaming i was so nervous! when we got near to the front one of the staff to my bag and i was pearing through these board things to see if i could see Cheryl and the security kept telling me stop it.. but i just couldnt help it. It was finally my turn to meet her. She loked beautiful just i had imagined! She had massive brown eyes and was look right at me, i burst into tears with my head in my hands! (i said i was not going to cry) she held my hand and said i was really pretty. She said my name properly and got it right first time! she said it was a lovely name! we then got our photo taken. She said it was lovely meeting me and i was just so speachless, my mum said to her 'Cheryl thankyou, this is one of her best christmas presents ever!' she was still holding me hand saying are you okay? she wrote in my book ' To Mairead, happy christmas' and then her autograph. I said good bye and she said 'bye babe' then i said good bye to Lily. All of the other soldiers in the que were saying 'awww' to me because i was crying and i got all embaressed! My dream came true! Dont give up!

Cheryl Cole

As most of you are aware, on the 1st of December 2012 I met Cheryl Cole for the first time! People have always said she is much more perfect face to face and now I can honestly say she is.

Me and my dad caught the 14.11 train, arrived at London Victoria at 15.57, got on the tube at 15.59, and got off at embankment at 16.03, then we walked around London to find the Corinthia Hotel, it took a while, we had no clue where it was or where we were going, at about 16.20 we found it and got our wristbands and in the not too distant future we'd met CHERYL COLE.We were on the queue for a while, and we were one of the last people she saw which was nice, we both were signing along to AML the whole time, and it passed so quickly.We were getting nearer and nearer the front and our bags have just been taken of us which means we're getting very close! Luckily I got to keep the bag full of curly wurlys and the fanbook for Cheryl.As we got closer, a secuity guard came and spoke to us and me and my dad explained what happened at the 02 when we went to the AML tour and he said I was doing very well and should be proud of myself and I was. (For those of you who don't know, we got to give our tickets over and go to our seats in the 02 arena and I burst into tears and wanted to go home because I felt I couldn't go in and got in such a state but luckily I went in and had the best time EVER! Everyone was expecting me to be the same at the book signing but I wasn't, I didn't cry til after!)We were next, the security guard was explaining what was about to happen, and he told me to put my stuff for Cheryl on the table and that Lily would take it for her and I was like thank you!Then my time came... I met Cheryl Cole. She was so lovely, so pretty, so kind, so caring, everything and more I expected her to be!Our conversation went as follows:Me: *as I walk over to Cheryl* *I'm shaking like a leaf and freaking out big time at this point* OMG!Cheryl: Hiya Babe! *smiles and face lights up when she sees what I've got her as I give it to Lily*Me: HelloCheryl: How are you?Me: I'm good, how are you?Cheryl: I'm good thank you!Me: I loved you on tour!Cheryl: Did you enjoy it?Me: YeahCheryl: Did you go to the London one?Me: Yeah*we have our picture at this moment by which time I forget everything and go blank and don't know what to say next*Cheryl: Thanks Angie!Me: Thank you!Cheryl: Lovely to meet you!Me: Lovely to meet you too!Then my dad says you alright? bit of a stupid question really and then he said thanks Cheryl! And she smiled and waved at him cause my dad couldn't get a wristbad as it had sold out so he was by the door so she didn't exactly meet him but she acknowledged he was there!On the train back, me and my dad were stood up for most of it, so my legs are sore today but its worth it, and I broke down in tears and was a wreck the entire way home and my mum met us at the train statio and she was like "AHHHHHH" really loudly cause it's what I do whenever I see her on anything so I said "AHHHHHH" back and everyone looked at us but we didn't care!So that is it, that's what happened when I met Cheryl, I wish I spoke more and said more but the whole time she was looking into my eyes and I was looking into her eyes and she just didn't look real. Like she looks stunning in pictures but she looks even more perfect face to face. So I think I got a bit too star struck and was lost for words so I can't wait for the next signing of any kind so I can meet her again and have a proper conversation with her.Writing this now my heart is pounding! I'm the happiest alive, my idol follows me, she's met me, signed my book, i've got a picture with her, and all in the space of 3 months, so if you're reading this and haven't met Cheryl... Remember DREAMS DO COME TRUE AND THEY ARE WORTH THE WAIT!! I've waited 10 years for yesterday and it was well worth it!!

One Direction

I met the boys in mexico city.. June the 5th, and this is the story:

I'm not from México city, I'm from Monterrey (northern of mexico) is actually the 2nd or 3rd biggest city in mexico so most of the celebs when come to mexico come to monterrey too.. we (me and monterrey's directioners) were expecting 1D to come too, even the company who organize concerts in mexico tweeted the same day that they announce the fist date in mexico that you were coming to our city too but they deleted. But we had kind of hope that they open a date in our city, Well, then weeks before the concert in mexico I was too depressed because it was 1D first time ever in mexico and latin america and I was not going.. then I entered to some contest in the radio and stuff.. then 3 days before the concert I entered to a sony music contest, I was supposed to sent a pick up line to 1D and the reasons why I would deserve to meet the boys, I wrote too much in there like I was too proud of the boys, that I didn't expected them to become this famous in mexico like this quickly.. that it was my biggest dream in life, etc.. then A DAY before the concert they called me and said that I won a m&g pass I was shaking, crying of the happiness because it was my biggest dream, I convice my mom and bought flight tickets the day of the concert I flew to mexico city and in the airport someone re-selled me a concert ticket so my dream was complete I was going to meet the boys + see them live! I met lots of directioners in the airport and outside the venue too! I can easily say that it was the best day of my life!! I hugged Zayn, Louis and Harry waved to me, Liam said un sacapuntas (that means 'a sharpener' in spanish.. it's like his favorite spanish word) to me and had good eye contact with Niall. I had some gifts, letters and papers with my twitter username (@jessleal7) to the boys but unfortunately security told me to not give it to them.. then in the night the concert was too amazing!! 

and that's all :) xx

Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez

I had been trying to meet Justin for a very long time, but had a terrible string of luck until August 7, 2012. After spending hundreds of dollars to travel to Los Angeles to try and meet Justin over the last year I had almost called it quits. I knew where Justin was going to be doing tour rehearsals so I decided to make one last trip to LA before summer was over. When we got into town late on the morning of the 7^th we heard word that Selena was shooting her new movie at a motel. After picking up another friend, we headed to the location of Selena's shoot. Soon after we got there we saw a large black van drive by rapidly. We calmly walked to the street to see where it had went. When we turned down the next road we saw that it had parked next to Justin's Fisker. We knew he was there. There was only four of us, and I knew Justin would see us eventually. Moshe (Justin's bodyguard) saw us while re-parking the car and said Hello. He was very nice and asked us how we were doing. After about an hour Justin and Selena (and others) hoped in the van on one of her breaks. After wards they all hopped out, except for Justin. We knew he was leaving, and we were praying he would stop. Unfortunately he didn't. Later that night we got to meet Selena so we were really happy (It was really late). By the time we got home it was 5:00 a.m. We had no idea when Justin was going to rehearsals the next day, or if he was even going. To play it safe we woke up at 6:30 a.m. Yes, that means only an hour of sleep. We rushed to the rehearsal location after getting some quick food and praying. It was already scorching hot. After waiting a few hours we weren't sure if he was coming. Some other girls showed up, so we decided to leave for a little while and check another location. We came back and an hour later Justin's van turns the corner and drives past us. I knew where he was going to park because I had been there before. I saw him get out of the car with a black v-neck, red snap back, and red pants. I yelled his name and he waved back. The six of us decided to wait where we could see his car. Moshe came out to re-park the van and my friends Shelby and Asia asked him if they could speak with him really quickly. He said only one person so Shelby calmly ran over to him. She politely asked if, and only if, it was okay with him and Justin that he could meet a couple fans that had never met him after he was done rehearsing. Moshe got a big smile on his face, and told her that he was going to stop the car. We waited another three or four hours in triple digit weather until Justin came out. Moshe drove the van up to us, and we got a in line to wait for Justin. Moshe signaled me to come up to the van. Justin didn't get out at first so I stepped up into the van. He shook my hand and said Hello. I gave him a hug. He asked me how I was, but I got super shy and didn't say much. I took my picture with him and said thank you. I let everyone take pictures with him and then gave him another hug. “All Around the World” started playing and I think that was his signal to go. He hopped up in van and drove away. After Justin was gone we got to say a quick thank you to Kenny (old bodyguard). He told us thank you, and also instructed us not to tell anyone where the location was. I realized how lucky we were that Justin, although tired, took the time to stop and take pictures with everyone. He is honestly the most amazing boy I have ever meant.

Jedward

My favourite experience with Jedward has been on their tv programme 'OMG! Jedward's Dream Factory'. On the 13th October 2011, I was lucky enough to get wristbands to attend the audience of the show, and I was over the moon when me, my sister and our friend made our way to the show! 

On this day, we were in the studio audience from 2pm-7pm as John & Edward filmed all the children's dreams and performed songs. The twins were brilliant at getting the crowd going as everyone was singing along and dancing. At each break the twins got, they were over hugging and chatting away to us and all the other fans that were there even though they were exhausted from the strenuous filming and long hours. They always put their fans first.

As soon as the filming was over, we were all informed that we would be able to Meet and Greet with the boys, which everyone was delighted about. In our Meet and Greet, we all got a chance to get autographs and to get pictures with the twins. Even though they were still extremely tired and hungry, they wanted to personally chat to all of us, and allow us to get a photograph with them to mark the day. 

It's a day I will never forget, and one of the best days of my life!
