A little bizarre choice, but honestly, this lady definitely deserves today. Today goes to CHRISTINA AGUILERA.
Having decided today that actually, Florence and the Machine is a bit difficult to do for our Media coursework, Naomi and I have picked a Christina song to really strip things back and do something completely different. So we finally got the permission to do this from school today, and it's very exciting.
But it's had me in a Christina mood for weeks. It's been such good fun, but also very difficult because I find myself counting beats and using ideas in every song I listen to now.
But I will definitely keep you posted on what I think could happen, and what will!
CHRISTINA AGUILERA, you are the Day Dedicatee for Tuesday 28th September 2010.

Monday 27th September 2010 - Alex Smith
Now I know not many of you will know who this man is - but to me, he is the key to my NFL team. Without him, we can't win the Super Bowl, and we can't do anything. But even I'm beginning to doubt that now.... Today goes to ALEX SMITH.
It's very difficult to decide whether or not Smith is the right quarterback for the 49ers. He's a very good player, agreed, but is he enough to get the running backs and wide receivers going? I'm not so sure...
We're 0-3 now, so let's hope things all turn around and it all looks better by the end of next week.

Sunday 26th September 2010 - Fernando Alonso
It's a bit late, as have the majority of blogs have been for a while. Sorry!
But yes, today goes to FERNANDO ALONSO, the slimy, horrible, arrogant, but brilliant Formula One driver, who won today's Malaysian Grand Prix.
Alonso is a brilliant, brilliant driver. He led from the very start today, and is now back in the race to win the World Championship. Not half bad eh?!
I still think Hamilton or Webber will take it, but Alonso has definitely thrown the whole championship open - making it an even better season.

Saturday 25th September 2010 - The Roots
Apparently this bunch of fellas are called THE ROOTS. Apparently they were formed in 1987. Apparently they are a hip-hop group. I have heard of them,, but know nothing more. Other than the fact that the album they have just produced with John Legend is probably one of the best of the last 25 years.
It's not actually been released over here yet. All we've had is 'Wake Up Everybody', with the brilliant Melanie Fiona and Common rapping on it too. But I've found a lot of the stuff on YouTube, and I watched their brilliant near-2-hour set from the American Express session last night, and I can safely say it is some of the greatest soul music I've ever heard.
The Roots are certainly a band I'll now be looking out for in the future - I don't care what it sounds like, as long as it's a lot like this. It's just stunning, stunning stuff.
If you have a spare hour or so over the next 24, watch the link I've posted in a little earlier up - the AMEX session. It's certainly worth it, even if you only like horns and trumpets. Yes, Damian, you too.

Friday 24th September 2010 - Jon Hamm
I'm sorry, but it just couldn't have gone to anyone else. Bar the tie, he is the best dressed man in showbusiness. Bar none. Today goes to JON HAMM.
Having read all about him in GQ on the train home on Thursday evening, and then sat up and watched hours of Mad Men with Dad on Friday night, I suddenly realised that actually, he is the ideal style icon. We near enough share the same hairstyle as it is, bar the small quiff I'd love to be able to pull off. His suits are perfectly fitted and always suit him. The white shirt is crisp, and his wife is bloody beautiful.
But that's Don Draper. Jon Hamm, is in fact, now one of the world's biggest stars. Mad Men has really launched him big - he's the man to be seen with at the minute. You wanna be known, go get papped stood next to Jon.
Every woman wants a man like Jon. Every man wants to be like Jon. And everyone reading this should go and check out Mad Men, and realise why he is so good.

Thursday 23rd September 2010 - Mark Zuckerberg
Well, the big man had to come up at some stage didn't he? The man who has single-handily changed the way we all live and breathe on this planet - Facebook's creator, MARK ZUCKERBERG.
Now Mark is just 26, and is already a billionaire. Yes, with a B - it's not a typo. He's made a truckload from connecting people - surely a worthy reward? But he's doing even more - he's giving $100m away to help fund schools and academies in America.
So, yes, Facebook did crash today for the longest period I can remember, but did I care? Not one bit. I had my Twitter app open, and Safari running so I could read about what all this money is going on, and it's such a brilliant, worthwhile project, and I really do commend him and the Facebook team for it.
If only there were a few more people like him!

Wednesday 22nd September 2010 - John Legend
I've got a lot of catching up to do! Now on Wednesday, I went up to Cardiff with Dad to go and visit the uni. What a beautiful place it is, by the way.
Now on Tuesday night, having written my blog, and sat in bed, I just couldn't sleep. Now what I usually do is whack out the iPod, and have a listen to some really slow, sleepy songs. But instead, on Tuesday night, I was on the old iPhone watching videos on YouTube. And what did I FINALLY get round to watching and listening to? JOHN LEGEND's new record, Wake Up Everybody, that's what.
And what a brilliant record it is! And I've had the pre-order set for the album since the day it was released onto the Internet, so am very excited for the 21st of October, when it arrives. Gonna be one of the great soul/R&B albums of the last 20 years, I reckon.
So that was that one. It just got me going with John Legend songs all day on Wednesday, humming them, singing them in my head, mouthing them on the train - I love the bloke. My favourite artist in the world.
