Min Engelsk stil faktisk.

Jeg skreiv en stil på skolen men fikk ikke karakter, så gi tilbakemeldinger til meg? (a)
Det er fra første gangen jeg spilte på UKM med Jonas, Patrick, Khosar og Fridtjof.
Herllig :D

On top of the world.

Task 3: When I won a contest of some kind.

My hands are sweating, my head is exploding and the butterflies in my stomach are at war! How can I sing in front of all those people? I hear the host of the show say the name of my band “Unchained”. I’m frozen too ice out of nervousness, but Jonas, one of my best friends and the guitar player, takes my hand and drags me out on to the stage. The red and blue lights are blinding me, and I feel like I’m going to throw up. Why did I say yes? Jonas asked me 6 months ago if he could enter our band in a competition, and of course my stupid mouth had to say yes.
Just when I feel like I’m going to faint, I can hear my friends in the crowd. They are screaming my name, and whipping up the crowd like crazy! I take a deep breath and walk up to the middle of the stage and I am forcing myself to smile confident, even though I’m sure it is written terrified in my forehead with a red marker or something.


My hand automatically grabs the microphone. The guitar starts to play the song we have gone through a thousand times before, and I can feel my body beginning to move slightly to the rhythm. I’m still nervous, and I don’t think I will get a little word or a tiny, little bit of a melody out of my mouth. But then I hear the sound of my voice in the speakers.
My voice sounds so different, usually it’s shaking and bursting, but now it’s sounding so confident !
There is not a trace left of nervousness. I feel like I am on top of the world and the band just sounds so amazing! The guitar, the bass, the keyboard and the drums, they are all just so amazing!
I just feel so alive! When the song is done, I realize that I never wanted it to end; I just wanted to stand on that stage and sing forever more! I have to control my feet from jumping off the stage, I’m just so happy! The entire crowd is going crazy and I never think my smile has been so wide before. When we walk out of the stage I am totally blissful. I’m looking at the boys in my band and we are all smiling at each other totally overwhelmed.


We only get a short break before we have to go on to the stage again. 5 elements in the program will go to the semifinals in Kristiansand. All the participants are on the stage with the judges. First they call the 4 first elements, the butterflies in my stomach are getting ready for a new battle, but then the judges say it. They say our name. They are standing on the stage saying “and last but not least, “Unchained” with the song “Yours to hold!”I’m screaming of joy, and my feet are jumping up and down and my pulse is reaching new heights. I’m hugging the rest of the band and my heart is pounding so hard, that I can’t even hear my own voice saying “oh, my God, we did it!”

When we came to Kristiansand and stood on the stage, we did not win, but it didn’t matter to me. I got to stand on the stage again. To sing my song and do what I’m good at and feel confident about myself. That was the greatest victory in my eyes. I will never forget that moment. The moment when I was on top of the world!
