Ellie Goulding must just come to South Africa already!!!

So I haven't posted in quite a long time, but while I was "studying" for english tonight I was listening to the new Ellie Goulding album on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAg6tA4y-uA.  First off this album is awesome - give it a listen!! Secondly, I came across some acoustic versions of Ellie and my girl crush for this artist just increased dramatically.  I've always been quite a major fan, but when I watched these acoustic versions, primarily the ryan seacrest ones, that all changed.  The way that she sings and controls her voice is the perfect representation of why I have such a passion for singing and playing guitar.  I can just see it in her eyes that she is feeling what I feel when I sing one of my favourite songs.  More than that, she's just such an inspiration.  Her voice is so unique and her training is insane! So give them a listen and add Ellie to your top 5 at the very least :)

Some things about Ellie: She loves cheese, she's ambidextrous, she loves to run, she taught herself guitar at 14, she sang at the recent royal wedding, she loves to buy people books and alcohol for their birthdays and her favourite Christmas movie is The Snowman.
