Chime For Change - Review

Hi there lovelies,

I was lucky enough to go to the amazing Chime For Change charity concert on Saturday 1st June and I have to say, it was easily one of the best days of my life. With amazing acts like Beyonce, Timbaland, Jenifer Lopez, Rita Ora and amazing surprise guests like Mary J Blige, Jessie J and Jay-Z, and motivating moving speech's from Madonna, Jada Pinkett Smith and many other celeb hosts. The best part was, it was all for an amazing cause A statistic that was repeated many times 'around the world women earn on average 20% less than men. Yet they perfrom 66% of the worlds work but only recieve 11% of the worlds income.' which is shocking. But this concert helped, the charity is all about bringing education, justice, and health to every woman, everywhere, and who better to represent it than female idol Bey?

Firstly after a long que, 3:30pm the doors opened and since me, my cousin and her friend were right at the front as soon as we'd had our tickets and bags checked we RAN to the front right by the bit at the gate a bit behind the golden circle, and we held our spot there for 7hours. (Which is terrible difficult when you really need a wee) At first we got a bit bored seeing as the show didn't start till 6pm and it was a hot day. 

But once the show started with an energetic performance from a talented Zumba group everyone's spirits lifted. Followed by an EXCELLENT performance by the beautiful Jessie J, who really got everyone moving and singing along. The whole thing was an incredible experience I will never forget. I mean seeing some of the biggest names in music like Rita Ora and Timbaland was awesome. The whole thing just rocked.


I think aside from the beautiful Beyonce's performance my favourite part of the evening was Madonna's amazing speech. She had such a passion and determination to get her message across. She shared the amazing story of a Pakistani woman who went against tradition and wanted to give girls today a good education. 

So overall the musical performances were phenomenal. I'm still over whelmed by the fact I saw Beyonce and Jay- Z perform  'Crazy In Love' together. And I saw one of my idols, Florence Welch perform too, it was a fun, happy, night that consisted of mothers, daughters, sisters, best friends and other gorgeous people singing dancing, partying.

But although most people attended desperate to see Beyonce, I think everyone left with a deeper message. The problem of sexism, human trafficking, rape, sexual violence and abuse etc. I shall leave you with a thought provoking saying that was the statement of the evening, it will always stay with me 'None of us can move forward if half of us are held back.'
