...Mmm I get high with a little help from my friends,
Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends!

I couldn't have put it better myself!
Life seems worthwhile "with a little help" from our friends, so say the original Liverpool boy band, The Beatles. This group are undoubtedly the most influential force in musical history that Liverpool gave birth to, besides being pop-culture icons. The city itself was declared the 'City of Pop' in 2001 by the Guinness Book of Records and has other pop icons in its name. My favourites are 'The Boo Radleys' and 'The Zutons' . The former considered themselves to be an alternative group but were so well recieved that they are now known as one of the greatest Britpop bands in history. Their most succesful hit song was the merry-making da-dee-da tune 'Wake Up Boo! (It's a Beautiful Morning)' . The Zutons are a 21st century act but with an 80's funky soul image. You can see this not only from their music but also from the way the band is styled. Other notable acts are 'Frankie goes to Hollywood' and 'Dead or Alive'.
I would really love to visit this historic city and now I think my dream is coming true.
MTV is bringing together its event planning experts to stage another edition of the Europe Music Awards (EMAs) this November. This time, the event is being held in LIVERPOOL and all real music fans are being called to participate. 100 finalists will be chosen to take part in an 8-day 400km walk from London to Liverpool in time for the awards ceremony on November 6th. One lucky winner will also be given the chance to present an award on stage.
I have already convinced myself that I am going to be part of this historic event in a historic city. Therefore, I am competing amongst hundreds of music fans so as to win this. The contest is based on votes. Basically, each contestant has their own sort of profile where they can explain why they want this so much and people can vote for them to 'Go to Liverpool' or 'Stay Home' . I am currently in the 127th position and need 5% more positive votes to get me into the Top 100.
So, I would like to take this blog space to promote myself. HAHA.
Please click on the following promotional pic:-
And vote for me to go to Livuh-pooool!!
I've been getting a lot of support from people who don't know me but believe that I've got what it takes to represent music. I've also made friends with some of the contestants which is really cool. One of them is Chloe Testa, another Malteser. teehee. This girl is amazing. I suggest you visit her profile too and lend her a vote because she is definitely one of those crazy hardcore fans:-
Both of us are really excited about this and I have a plan of documenting the whole experience on my blog. My idea is to ask you, my readers, who your favourite artists in the EMAs are and what questions you would like to ask them. After collecting this valuable data I can compile a Maltese Fan Book and present it to your favourite artists. I'm pretty sure I'm going to meet some big names since winners of this event will be granted access to the exclusive after-party as well as visit some artists' residences during the walk.
It is very crucial that I collect this information in the following three weeks so that I can create the Fan Books with your personal fan mail and questions. In order for me to do this, however, I need your votes. I'm counting on you, my dear readers, to get me to the top and get your voices heard at the EMAs. In return, I will be your official music spokesperson and will mention your names on my blog.
So what you waiting for?!
I can only do this with a little help from my friends. ;)
