Janet Devlin From UK X Factor

The 16 Year Old With a Powerful Voice

by: Consuelo Bernardi

Needless to say, I'm a little obsessed with the music competitions - for obvious reasons....

I especially love the UK competitions - they seem to always have these jaw dropping moments...these incredible voices that finally have their well deserved moment in the spotlight.

And cue 16-year old Janet Devlin from a small town in Northern Ireland - who sang in her bedroom as way to escape and dream.

The Band That Is So Damn Good

So I few days ago I was having a music 'who are you listening to now that you love' conversation with a friend of mine (we'll call him 'King') and he mentioned having newly discovered a UK band. The band is not so new but it was new to him.

The band? One eskimO.

Charming, Sweet and Poppy

by: Consuelo Bernardi

So last week through the power of Twitter and my blog on The Musgraves, I connected with a fab singer/songwriter from the UK by the name of Stylusboy. He has a great new EP out called 'Whole Picture' which I love. It's charming, sweet and poppy.

So next thing you know we're chatting away on Twitter and email and I managed to sweet talk him into doing an interview.

And here it is.

The Face, The Voice, The Blog!

Consuelo Bernardi is a 30-something mummy of two. She can't play an instrument or sing a tune in key but is still obsessed with music. After a five year hiatus from the radio business she's back on the air doing weekends on Majic 100, Today's Soft Rock in Ottawa.

Still she always found the time to listen to music and make it a huge part of her life. She has more CDs than she cares to count and her monthly downloading bill for her iPod? Don’t even go there. Music truly is food for her soul. Plus secretly she’s always wanted to be a wannabe rock star...a girl can dream.

So take a minute from your day and crank up the volume. Motherhood isn't always pretty but at least your music will be hot.
