A Modern Fairy tale

The 29th of April 2011 is a day which many of us all around the world will never forget. It was the day the world joined Britain in celebrating the wedding of Kate Middleton to Prince William. There was a great deal of speculation about what the bride would wear and how she would look. Despite frantic efforts by the media the designer and the gown remained a closely guarded secret.

But it was all worth the wait and the suspense.Kate made a beautiful bride. Her dress was simple yet elegant falling beautifully into box pleats as she stepped out of the car and made her way down the red carpet at Westminster Abbey.She wore a short veil and the train of her gown was in perfect proportion to her dress.

The dress with its long fitted lace sleeves and lace bodice was traditional and yet beautiful in its understated simplicity. Kate was calm and collected as she made her way down the aisle on her fathers arm.

Her sister Pippa who was her bridesmaid, looked stunning in a simple fitted white dress.

Both Prince William and best man Prince Harry looked dashing in their official uniforms.
As the bride walked down the aisle, the sun came out and the crowds waiting eagerly outside cheered noisily.
. The trees decorating the inside of the church added a touch of nature to the celebration.
The actual ceremony was short and sweet and all too soon the royal couple made their way to the open carriage waiting for them outside the church.
The bridal procession was magnificent. The pomp, the show , the pageantry-it was a sight worth seeing. At the centre of all the excitement was the beautiful bride and her handsome prince. The couple waved to the crowd which roared in excitement. Following the bride were a number of carriages carrying other members of the royal family. The carriages, the horses, the footmen - It looked like a scene from medieval times and yet there was this very modern and beautiful couple who had just got married.
It was a wonderful day...A fairy tale come true....A beautiful young girl had married a handsome prince and had become a princess and future queen of the country. It was the stuff dreams are made of.
As the couple appeared on the famous balcony at Buckingham Palace and kissed not once but twice the crowd applauded and chanted their approval.
A wedding is a day of hope and excitement, a new beginning..For a day people all over the world were able to put aside all their problems and worries...This royal wedding makes one believe in romance and love...It is a reminder that dreams can come true.
It is a modern fairy tale

American Idol-The top six

This week the top six performed the music of Carol King, a famous singer and song writer. With the royal wedding around the corner, enthusiasm for the show dropped and  ratings fell by 5%..

This week apart from the individual performances by the top six, the audience were entertained with 3 duets.

Casey and Haley sang "I feel the Earth Move". It was an average performance. Judge Steven hinted about an affair between the pair and asked  Casey if he was in love with Haley, a question which remained unanswered to the disappointment of the audience.

Lauren and Scotty performed their third duet together, singing "Up on the Road". The performnace was not as good as their earlier duets. The pair also squashed any rumours of a budding romance by saying they viewed each other as brother and sister.

The best duet of the night was by Jacob and James.who sang "Something good". It was a lively performanc with a lot of acting and the audience loved it.

The individual performances were not as good as they were last week when every performance was superb.I think that the singing itself was good but some of the songs chosen were a bit dull

 The best performance of the night was James singing "Will you still love me?" .Randy said that this performance proved that James was not only a great rocker but a great singer as well. With last weeks excellent performance under his belt, James has emerged as a serious contender for becoming the next American Idol.

Casey gave a superb performance of "Hi De Ho". He is a brilliant performer and a great entertainer. I loved the way he played a few bars on the piano at the beginning of the song.
Despite  a superb performance and lavish praises from the judges, Casey was voted out of the show the next day.
This just goes to show that no one knows what happens next on American Idol and the competition can still be any ones game.

Casey went out with a bang giving a very entertauning performance in which he hugged the judges and a number of adoring fans in the audience. There has never been another performar like Casey and we will all miss him.

Scotty and Jacob were also in the bottom three.

But for now America has chosen its top five and we can look forward to some brilliant performances next week from James, Jacob, Scotty, Lauren and Haley.
