The Saturdays
The wall had a large sign with The Saturdays' logo on it. The band was in the back. There was drummer, two keyboard players and two guitarists.
The lights turned down but you could still see everything on the stage. The Saturdays stepped out of the side.
Frankie wore short jeans, a black top, a yellow jacket and silver hoop earrings.
Mollie had a white t-shirt, a dark green jacket, black shorts and a colorful necklace on.
Vanessa had blue pants on with a white t-shirt designed with various colors.
Rochelle wore a short orange dress and a black jacket and finally...
Una wore a grey-ish skirt, black top and blue earrings.
The first song on the setlist was Headlines, which was released as a non-album single a few weeks ago.
The Saturdays didn't do any choreography for this song but 5 dancers came onto the stage and danced in the background.
The second song was an old hit called Ego. Each member of The Saturdays danced with the dancers when it wasn't their turn to sing.
There was some amazing choreography shown by both the dancers and The Saturdays.
Higher was the third song on the setlist. They all danced on the spot during this song. The last chorus was especially good when all of them got to show off amazing vocals.
The second last song is a fan-favorite called What About Us. The Saturdays danced and sang during the whole song.
They sang the extended version and the dancers blew fire from their mouths.
The final song was Looking For Love, which was released on that same day as Headlines. This song was a ballad.
The dancers handed Una an acoustic guitar and The Saturdays performed this song acoustically. There were many fireworks shot up into the sky before the song ended.
The Saturdays left the stage and the lights were turned off. The stage was completely dark. Many footsteps were heard.
The audience had to wait about 15 minutes while the crew changed the stage. The lights were turned back on.
Ellie Goulding
Set One
The wall was completely different now. The was a large Ellie Goulding sign on it. It also said Explosions Tour and had all the songs from the setlist written on it.
The band was set up at the back. It consisted of two drummers, three keyboard players, a flute player and two guitarists.
Ellie appeared at the top of the stage wearing dark jeans, a white t-shirt and a dark blue jumper. Her hair looked beautiful and she had a microphone in her hand. The band began playing.
She walked down the steps while singing Animal, which was the first song on the setlist. She sat down on the last step and finished singing.
Ellie put the microphone on the stand and sang Halcyon. She did a short, cute dance with her hips during the chorus. The live version of this song might have been better then the studio version.
She finished off the set with Anything Could Happen. The camera was zoomed into the middle of the stage and was being played on two large screen so that the people in the back could see.
3 dancers came onto the stage and danced with Ellie for some parts of the song. Ellie left the stage and came back 8 minutes later.
Set Two
Ellie came back wearing completely different clothes. She was wearing black tight shorts, a white t-shirt and a jacket with gold buttons on it.
She sang the lead single from her album Animal first. Dreaming Again was a fun pop song so Ellie did a bit of dancing on the spot.
The dancers appeared on the stage after Dreaming Again. The danced with Ellie while she sang Burn.
This time, Ellie did a lot of choreography but only during the choruses. She continued the performance with the Electronic/pop song Figure 8.
The dancers did some great dancing but Ellie focused on her vocals for this song. She walked around the stage with the microphone and sang some amazing high notes.
Two large disco ball flew from the top of the stage and exploded right before the song ended, They were filled with water that went all over the audience.
The third single from Animal was next. Ellie danced a lot during Under Control she still showed strong vocals.
The dancers, left the stage and let Ellie sing the last song on the second set.
The verses were great but we were all amazed when she replaced Nicki's verse and rapped. Ellie normally skipped that part when singing live but this time she showed her rap skills.
It was definitely a highlight, her voice was great in the song as well, a perfect close to the second set.
Set Three
Ellie returned after 4 minutes wearing a black dress. This set consisted of ballads and mid-tempos. The first song was an old fan-favorite called Starry Eyed.
She did a simple dance like the one in the Starry Eyed music video during the chorus. The dancers appeared wearing the same outfit as the people in the music video, they also did the same dance routine.
It was a really good opening to the set. Ellie's favorite song from Animal was next, the tour was also named after this song. Ellie displayed her best vocals during this song.
The dancers left and she was the only one on the stage. She hit many high notes perfectly. Flames were seen on the stage as she sang the final chorus. You could hear the emotion in her voice.
Animal's promo single, Bleeding In The Dark, was next. She sang half of this song and mashed-up the rest with Part 2. This mash-up was made by Dr. Luke.
The last song on the third set was Lease My Love. Parts of the controversial music video were played on one of the two screens.
Final Set
The final set begins with the mid-tempo ballad Thinking Of You. Ellie took a 5 minute break and returned wearing black pants, a grey t-shirt and a silver jacket.
The stage is covered in many different colored lights. Ellie starts singing in the middle of the stage. She continues by singing the indie influenced song Only You.
You can see that Ellie is tired now by she still tries her hardest to deliver sold vocals and high notes. The performance is really great and the dancers are wearing different clothes.
They are dancing close to Ellie but not close enough to distract her. Ellie finishes the show by singing her old hit Your Song. This is a cover of Elton John's Your Song and it was released as a single in 2010.
She picks up an acoustic guitar, the dancers put a chair in the middle of the stage and leave. Ellie sits on the chair and sings Your Song acoustically.
It's a very beautiful and emotional song and Ellie sings it perfectly. She thanks the audience and leaves the stage.
Ellie signed autographs for her fans after the show. Ellie Goulding t-shirts and calendars were sold outside the arena.

JUSTIN PERFORMS ON DANCING W/ THE STARS
Justin performed on Dancing With The Stars! He performed the same medley he performed on Canada’s Got Talent, along with the new “Fast Times” single and switching it up with the Young Money Remix in the song. The performance was well received, and this came especially after a night of lackluster dance routines from the dancers’ on the show themselves, and a lot of OUCH type scores from the judges were given in particular that whole night. Most people who watched the whole episode of ‘Dancing With The Stars’ basically agreed Justin coming on there, and doing an all out dance-performance was the best performance of the whole night, despite the contestants practicing the dance routines for weeks. Justin got applauses + standing ovations that night, and was quite pleased himself you could see from his face in general.
THE MEDLEY: Justin was announced to stage by the Dancing With The Stars host, and the audience burst into applause as usual. Justin came to stage and that’s when he performed as the light shined down on him. He did the medley of “Showtime/My Everything” within the 2 minutes. Again, Justin also danced and sung to the dance remixes of the song. He did “Showtime” first instead of previously doing the other single on Canada’s Got Talent, and to the exception it actually went along better. As he came out in a high-effort dance to Showtime and gave the audience his Hollywood vibes, as the beat faded another beat came in – the dance remix to “My Everything”. The audience then applauded him again, as he continued dancing to the next single. This time he spiced it up, and had a female as they did a saucy tango on stage which was met to chatter from the audience and a nice applause as it came to an end. As they pulled off the tuxedo Justin was wearing, that’s when it got hot and the final part of the performance then started – “Fast Times”.
FAST TIMES: Justin then on stage with sexy rusty clothes on, after the tuxedo pulled off of him danced an sung to the single “Fast Times”. The cheerleaders with F-A-S-T-T-I-M-E-S spelled on them, came out as usual and also danced as the background dancers to the song. He then said “REMIX” as the beat turned a little Urban, then that’s when to a silly surprise – Drake, 2 Chainz, and Lil Wayne came out stage to spit out their verses to the remix of the single. After they spit out the verses, they were all met with applause. They announced the single was available on iTunes, along with the remix for $0.69 then they exited the stage as the episode continued.
________________________________________
Justin Bieber's tour - "Dreams Believe" went to it's 2nd week and 2nd day! The stadium had a casual 25,000. . Justin first came out with Lorde as usual, as she performed 2-3 songs and they performed "Aliens Invading" together. Then he came to stage with Vanessa Hudgens and performed an UNRELEASED SONG "Leave It Up To Me" that was suppose to be used for the Fast Times at University Soundtrack before they decided the song didn't fit with anything throughout the movie, he also then performed a special version of "Fast Times" with her, she then herself performed her song from the soundtrack -- "$$$ex". They showed fans the trailer of the movie too, and reminded his Mexico Fans to see the mvoie when it comes to theaters there. Next he performed a setlist of 5 songs - "If I", "Turnt", "Hot Right Now", "Everything is Everything", and "I Still Wanna Believe". The fans in the stadium were showing humongous love, and were already 'turnt' by the time it got to the track of that same name to perform. Fans say his vocals were "pure crystals" there, and better than the performances they sit at home and watch. He then did a little break from the usual singing, and invited fans on stage to do things – ask questions, cover his songs, and some little fun/games. He ended up also letting a dying fan with an undisclosed disease on stage, and performed "Serenade In Paris" to her. She received free tickets to the concert from a competition she won, and was dying to meet him! He then went on and performed some more songs, “My Everything”, “Showtime”, “Message In A Bottle”, and “Keep On Runnin’” were among some of the mid-tempo/slow-tempo songs he then performed that time. He also announced to them the remix for “Showtime” with Nicki Minaj, and to buy it when it’s in digital stores next week. By the time the concert had reached the end and climaxed you could visibly see the audience was delighted and impressed from his time there, and after he performed 4-5 more songs he then told them it was closing soon. He was met with screams of “ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE!” so then he decided to perform another unreleased song, he had performed on tour a few times – “Livin’ Bitch” that was also suppose to make the Soundtrack but was scrapped. He then did a special encore also by performing "Cassanova" and "Come & Get It" songs that become viral when he was on a rise to fame. He usually doesn't perform those songs anymore, as he's more impressed with his album. After he had left, fans were left in the absence of memories of a great performance. This concert's energy was great sources said on Bieber, and he also performed a few other songs that didn't have enough time to get mentioned including a praised performance for a cover of Bruno Mar's "Grenade". He also then thanked the Greece citizens, and gave them a special performance of "Fast Times (Remix)" with Drake, Lil Wayne, and 2 Chainz as the concert ended.

Phoebe Tonkin performs and mentors on Danish Idol
Phoebe Tonkin appeared on Denmark's hit talent show Danish Idol, where she performed and, also, mentored some of the contestants. First, it was showed, how four contestants performed some songs in acapella infront of Phoebe, so Phoebe could decide what advice she, as a professional performer, can give. First performer was a cute nineteen years old girl, who performed I Wish by Cher Lloyd and T.I. Also, that girl did a little experiment with her performance by freestyling and rapping during the bridge. Phoebe seemed to be really amazed by this girl. 'I love your teenager and carefree style, and your voice is really amazing, but I'd say you need to add some dramatic effect to it, emotion, like, act a bit like you're out of breath during chorus, it instantly created amazing effect, I know that already. But I loved your rap breakdown, it was, how you youngsters say... sick! It made this whole performance, and this ability will help you a lot during live shows, literally, if you're going to use it right.' Next performer was a twenty years old guy, who performed Talk Dirty by Jason Derulo. 'Can I come to your concert when you will win this? Literally, your voice is pure perfection, and girls will love you because of your looks, nice smile, and also, your amazing voice! But I felt like this doesn't fit your voice perfectly, like it should... I feel like, your voice would perfectly fit Counting Stars, by One Republic.' Third contestant that was lucky enough to perform infront of Phoebe was sixteen years old girl, and she performed Sun Of A Gun by Danish singer and songwriter Oh Land. 'Your voice is really sweet, but don't sing that evenly, change your tone a little bit, because some of the audience wants that intrigue in your voice, so that is my simple advice. But your voice is really good, just don't be afraid to risk and experiment a little bit. You'll see, everything will turn out perfectly!' Last contestant was seventeen years old girl, and she performed Selena Gomez's Tell Me Something I Don't Know. 'You served really really good performance and I'm excited too see more from you! Your voice is perfect, you perform with a lot of emotion, and it's just magical. You are really good! Can't wait to see more from you.'
Later, Phoebe performed her latest songs from upcoming album live. She started her performance with one minute long acoustic version of California Dreamin', which also features American indie rock/pop singer Sky Ferreira. Some of the people already knew lyrics, because Pheobe performed it several times on different Danish TV shows, so they most know some of those lyrics. Her voice was amazing, she rocked out every single note, and it sounded perfectly, it really matched with the simple instrumental that was played by guitarist. When one minute long performance of California Dreamin' ended and when guitarist walked away with chair, Phoebe walked towards to microphone stand and live band instantly started playing instrumental for Bedtime Stories. Phoebe Tonkin received a lot of ovations and claps, also screams and shouts. Everyone in the arena loved her performance, and you could tell why - her voice was amazing and she did everything perfectly. Now that's a really good performer!

Phoebe Tonkin performs at Roskilde festival
Phoebe Tonkin appeared on really popular Danish festival, which is called Roskilde festival. Phoebe came on stage just before the festival was over and also, she was the last performer on this year's festival. She was wearing black and lace bralet and also loose floral pants, that looked amazing on her. She was also wearing black Louboutin shoes. Phoebe's hair was messy and a little bit curled in the ends, so it just made this whole outfit look more... indie, or something. She performed six songs on her set with live band. She performed infront of 10K people, and everyone went wild when Phoebe Tonkin came on stage, making a lot of buzz. 'Wow, thank you guys for such an amazing welcoming! I had so much fan here in Denmark. Roskilde is my first ever festival, I've never performed on a festival before, so I hope I'll do the best I can and I hope all of you going to have a lot of fun, I will try to make this as much fun as possible!' After her performance, Phoebe went down to the audience and hugged them, thanked for coming and signed some photos and physical copies of her latest single.
California Dreamin’
'So this is the first time I'm performing this song in full live, and it's not acoustic version or something. This song also features Sky Ferreira, who is not here today, but I hope you will enjoy this song as much as I enjoyed recording it!' It is the first time that Phoebe performed California Dreamin' live and not acousticly. As soon as she stepped infront of her microphone stand, her live band started playing instrumental. It sounded like an indie song, something that Marina and the Diamonds, or Florence and the Machine would do, but it still had some pop influenced sound, there wasn't that much of pop, but it still had something 'poppish'. Nobody actually knew which parts are Phoebe, and which parts are Sky's on the real version, because Phoebe performed whole song by herself. Audience seemed to be enjoying this mid/up-tempo indie pop song.
Higher Than The Sun
After a short ten seconds break, when Phoebe was drinking water from the bottle, Phoebe performed new song Higher Than The Sun, that actually features Ellie Goulding on the original and final studio version. It sounded like fun up-tempo indie pop song, and people seemed to be enjoying this, because they danced along with fun instrumental, that was played by live band. Again, Phoebe sang the whole song, so nobody knew, which parts are Phoebe's and which are Ellie's, but overall, they seemed to be amazed by this song and everyone in the audience loved it.
I Love It
'This song is by my good friends from Sweden, and their duo is called Icona Pop. During this past summer, I went through a weird break-up, and basically, I did everything that this song is about - I threw his **** out of the window on the street, I crashed his own car into the bridge and I laughed, I watched how it burned and ****. I just got that feeling when somehow I didn't cared. And look how it turned out now? I have number one single! So this is I Love It!' As the instrumental started playing, Phoebe instantly started jumping from her place with the audience, who were shouting and screaming those lyrics, and Phoebe was smiling to see how the audience instantly became turned on by this electro pop break-up anthem.
His Diamond
'So, this is another cover, and His Diamond is Selena's latest single. I loved this song as soon as I heard it, and I love that Arabic influence, it basically made this whole song sound something really unique and fresh, because I don't know any other artist, who can so perfectly serve such a good bop, and M.I.A. and Danja created a masterpiece.' Danish people in the audience seemed to be enjoying this song, because a lot of them started singing along with Phoebe, and you can clearly say, that it's a hit here in Denmark, too. Phoebe didn't know how to pronounce that Arabic stuff during the bridge, so she just stopped singing during the bridge and did a little Arabic, Indian dance, but it looked like random weird moves.
American Stars
Phoebe performed American Stars. It sounded like a fun and summer-ish song. It was really energetic song, with some basses and dance/EDM breakdowns, so everyone in the audience were dancing non-stop and jumping to this fun and good dance, EDM and pop song. It sounded something like All Night by Icona Pop, but American Stars is just a little bit longer and way more energetic then All Night. Overall, this song is really amazing, and it sounded like a big smash hit for sure, because it's energetic, it's like a really good clubs anthem, it reminds of the summer, so why not? Also, Phoebe's voice was perfect during this performance, because it perfectly matched all of those basses, beats, drums and other dance stuff.
Bedtime Stories
'This is the song that started everything, and I just wanted to say thank you for everyone who has been supporting me! This is Bedtime Stories!' Phoebe performed it while walking from side to side on her stage, just playfully dancing and jumping in the place, while live band played fun dance instrumental. EVERYONE in the audience was singing this song, and basically, Phoebe was so happy to see how everyone knows all the words and stuff, it is every single artist's dream.

Selena on The X Factor UK
Selena Gomez has been all around the world promoting her latest single ‘His Diamond’ that was released earlier this week and has already been much success, topping charts all over the world in just it’s first week. The song has been performed on Gomez’s NBA Half Time Show, Create a Label debut awards, and recently on The X Factor UK.
The production and set up for the performance was far more big than her performance on The Voice United States was. The stage lit up a soft but red as dancers filled the stage in burqas, acting as if in they were scared or in a rush as they waved flags of vivid in the air as thunder silenced the entire place. The sound of a horses hooves hitting the stage blasted over the speakers as Selena rode out on a white horse, wearing a very fierce red Arabian outfit, the flowy pants burning red and a bra that matched that had rhinestones embroidered on them. She wore a light red veil with a crown of real roses a top her head. She halted the horse and stared out at the women in men in their burqas and thawbs. Two men in black thawbs came to help her down from the horse as she stared seductively in the men’s eyes while singing the first verse of the song in a head microphone. The men were attractive as one got behind Selena and the other in front, as they grinded to the beat before she pushed them away and they joined her to dance the pre-chorus. They did some very illusional type of dancing before a few of the men in the white thawbs joined her and the men to do the choreography during the bridge. The second verse called for just Selena on the stage. As she did a signal to either side of the stage and two horses ran in the opposite direction of each other, one behind her and the other in front. The women in the burqas then moved their way to the front to do the same dance routines Selena did with the male dancers. The bridge called for the spotlight as Selena sang the bridge flawlessly in Arabic and in acapella before she broke out in the bridge breakdown. She finished the performance with a bunch of dancers flying on red fabric from the ceiling, a male dancer carrying her with him up to the ceiling before it ended.

Phoebe seemed to be really calm and ready to sing, she was smiling all the time. Phoebe rocked out those vocals and hit all of those notes, high and low. After her short acoustic version of California Dreamin', she stood up infront of microphone stand, while the guitarist walked off the stage with the chairs. When Phoebe stood infront of microphone stand, a live band behind her back started playing instrumental for Bedtime Stories. While they were playing intro, six dancers came on stage to help out Phoebe with her performance. As soon as Phoebe started singing the first verse, a lot of light bulbs lightened up above her and her dancers, and it looked magical, they created this amazing and comfortable feeling. Her voice during the performance was really calm, but at the same time amazing, and you could clearly say that Phoebe is way better performer than she used to be, she is always calm now, she is not scared to perform infront a lot of people and that stage fright is gone by now, and her voice is not weak anymore, now she is brave, and you could tell, that her performances are way better than they used to be, for example, when performed for the first time.

K: It was great! I got to judge on the North Pole's Got Talent, sing on 3 different talent shows, got on the Ms Seal Show and give a track-by-track review of Gladiator and explore the whole place. I was almost late for the North Pole's Got Talent because of a storm. 
E: You album Gladiator is actually selling a lot! It's been in the Top 3 on iTunes since it's release!

E: What made you chose Supernatural as the 3rd single?
K: I knew that I needed a dance song as the 2nd single since Cold Hands struggled to reach Top 5, and I thought that my fans and the public would like it, so I decided to release right before the album.
E: How many singles do you think this album will have?
K: Probably 6 or 7, depending on how much the album sells worldwide and how well the singles do. I hope that I can still promote it while I'm on tour, but I'll only do that if my label lets me.

K: About 3 weeks, everything was planned out for the real tour but my label wanted me to promote more so we came up with this.
E: Do you think you'll be #1 on the singles/albums chart this week?
K: I doubt it, I could be Top 3 though but there are many new releases and artists promoting this week like Cara, Just, Paige, Phoebe, Selena and Taylor.
E: Stay tuned for Ke$ha's performance and buy her album on iTunes!
Ke$ha wore the same clothes as in the interview. She got up onto the stage and began singing. The performance was simple but still really good.
She danced a bit with 3 dancers during the chorus and the bridge.

Phoebe Tonkin performs on Norway's Got Talent
Phoebe Tonkin appeared on Norway's Got Talent show, where she performed two songs - California Dreamin' and also her hit number one single called Bedtime Stories. During her first performance that evening, Phoebe performed California Dreamin' for the first time not acousticly on TV show. Her performance started off with all the lights going flashy, and it created this drama effect in the arena. When live band started playing intro to the California Dreamin', Phoebe walked down those stairs to the main stage and to the microphone stand, which was placed in the middle of stage. When Phoebe stood infront of her microphone stand, the intro was over and now she started singing. Her voice was really dreamy and lovely, so with that indie rock/indie pop instrumental and her dreamy voice, you could remember those awesome summertime moments. Her performance was really simple, and it basically consisted of only her and her live band somewhere behind her in the shadows. She was loose black long-sleeved top and tight black leggings with her black converse shoes. Her hair was messy. She performed perfectly, and her voice was perfect, and people in the audience seemed to be pleased with this performance, and it actually looked, that they like this not-so mainstream (like Bedtime Stories), indie pop/indie rock song.
During the second performance, she dressed up a little bit more chic and now she was wearing nice black knee long dress and black Louboutin shoes. Her hair was a bit more curled up than messy, and it basically med her look more chic and trendy. This time, she was walking around the stage during the performance, and also, eight back-up dancers came on stage to help Phoebe with her performance. Everyone in the audience knew the lyrics, so they sang along with her.

Phoebe Tonkin performs and talks on Skavlan
Phoebe Tonkin appeared on hit Norwegian talk show called Skavlan to do an interview and also, to perform her latest number one hit single called Bedtime Stories. She looked really really different - her hair was perfectly straightened, she was wearing hair extensions, and some make up. For her outfit, she was wearing glittery long-sleeved knee long black dress, and, also, nice black Louboutin high-heeled shoes. She did an interview firstly, before she performed. Later, she went on stage to perform her song. Phoebe didn't change her clothes for the performance and wore this same outfit. Her performance was really simple, she performed Bedtime Stories acousticly, only with a help from her guitarist.
Your single went number one this week. How do you feel about it?
Perfectly! It was such an amazing moment when I found out about it and I still can't believe that my song is number one. Like, I'm just a small girl from Australia, two years ago I was dreaming about teacher job, and now look at me, I have number one single worldwidely and I'm visiting different countries in the world, so it feels amazing, it feel amazing when I realize, how my life changed so much after I released my latest single.
You also were nominated for two awards and won both of them on CAL: TR-U Debut Awards. Are you happy?
Duh, yes I am, I wasn't expecting it tho, because I'm only for two weeks in this music industry, and it's weird to have two awards already, and also, some artists were mad about it, because I won those awards and not they, but you know... It's not problem that they didn't do something that I did in two weeks. But I don't care about negative opinion to be honest, I'm concentrated on my music, and my upcoming album, I don't want to be known just for my scandals. I sing a little bit too.
What are your upcoming plans?
So I have my new album coming out next week, and it's my debut album, so I'm so excited for it! I'll be also releasing second single from it, so it'll be a rough week, but I'll try to do the best I can and I'll just try to do my best so everything could go perfectly. I'll also start my first ever tour next week, and I was rehearsing for tour for like, three months, and next week I'll be finally able to tour for the first time. I can't wait to get on the tour bus too!
What are you favorite songs at the moment?
I love Teen Queen by Sky Ferreira, I just obsessed with it. I also love Justin's Fast Times. Ke$ha's Supernatural is really awesome too, it is my Halloween jam, I don't know why, but when I'm listening to it I just imagine like skulls and pumpkins and other stuff. Also, Selena's His Diamond is amazing, I also covered it on my set while I was performing at Roskilde festival back in Denmark! And also, I love every single song on Cara's new self-titled album, which is out today, so go get it guys, it's literally a masterpiece.
