Drafts of feature article

Here is my first draft of my feature page

Welcome the new kid on the block, George England. George has just released his first single, ‘Yes to running’, and in its first week after being released has already got the number one spot from under the noses of some majorly well-known celebrities. He is only 17 and is going strong already we think that he could be huge for years to come. A week after the song had got to number one we caught up with him at his first photo shot. After his photos were taken he had time to give us a quick chat on what he has planned for the future and about his first single. Here is what we asked him.

Hey George, what has life bee like after you got your first number one?

It has been amazing! Just the amount of people that walk up to me in the street now and know my name. Last week I was a nobody just a normal average Joe now people are always calling my name. To be honest its nice being at this photo shot as I can have time to think about stuff which I haven’t been able to the last week as its been manic. 

So what do you prefer being a nobody or the star that you are now?

Ahh I love being the star that I am I have only been well known for a couple of weeks now and can’t wait for the rest of my career, however I don’t want to always be known for my first single I want to have bigger and better songs that get worldwide.

So does that mean that you are already thinking about your next single?

Of course I am. Being a celebrity you have to be thinking what you are going to do next or else people will start to forget about you and move on to other number one artists. Being in the music business is sort of like a football club, you always have to keep freshening yourself up or else you will become old and frustrating to watch, that’s what I have learnt from watching other music artists on the T.V before I released my hit.

Do you like watching sport then?

Yeah I do! That’s what I love behind all of the music. I never want to leave my sport behind it’s what I also love. People always think of music artists like music is their life and for some it is, however they have a life outside of the music industry.

 You also said that you like other artists, what else do you listen too?

I listen to everything really there’s no type of music that I don’t enjoy. I mostly just sit down and watch the music channels to learn about whats hot and whats not, however in the past few weeks I haven’t been able to do that as I can’t watch myself on T.V I hate seeing myself singing.

So does that mean you won’t be watching it for a while then?

Well it depends if people want to listen to it and enjoy the song. If people do then I suppose I’ll just have to turn it off when it gets to me. But that’s what I want to happen; I want people to enjoy my songs just so that I know that they enjoy listening to me.

We had to leave the interview there as we ran out of time with George, although he did say that he would love to catch up with ‘The Incrowd’ readers again soon. He also asked us that if any of the readers had any questions they would like to ask him to email us at http://www.theincrowd.co.uk/ and next time we meet him we will ask him some of your questions.



Here is my second version of my feature page writing

Welcome the new kid on the block, George England. George has just released his first single, ‘Yes to running’, and in its first week after being released has already got the number one spot from under the noses of some majorly well-known music heavy weights. He is only 17 and is going strong already; he is defiantly one to watch. A week after the song had got to number one we caught up with him at his first photo shoot. After flirting shamelessly with our photographer Laura, he found time to answer our questions…

Hey George, what has life been like after you got your first number one?

I can’t explain it… Last week I was a nobody, average Joe, now people are shouting my name in the street. It is unreal! There are some major pluses, girls like Katie wouldn’t have looked at me last week now they are asking me to pose for them BLINDING!

So what do you prefer being a nobody or the star that you are now?

Ahh I love being the star that I am now! I have only been well known for a couple of weeks now and can’t wait for the rest of my career, however I don’t want to always be known for my first single I want to have bigger and better songs that get worldwide.

So does that mean that you are already thinking about your next single?

But that’s what I want to happen; I want people to enjoy my songs just so that I know that they enjoy listening to me, not that I am insecure or anything (he laughs) I just want to make people happy with my music.
