1st draft for my article
As Jodie Flair sweeps into the room nonchalantly, I can’t help but stare. She is wearing very little: a massive fur coat, mini-dress and spiked heels at most. She looks like every boys dream rolled into one. As she sits down, she says to me “Well let’s stop staring and get on with this interview then”. Even from the moment she walked into the room she had established herself as a diva-type, but this confirmed it. This is the amazing thing about this woman…or girl. She certainly looks like a woman. She is acting like a diva who has been in the business for years, when she has only just started. We start talking about her outfit, and when asked who she gets her fashion inspiration from she replies “I don’t need inspiration. I’ve always been fashionable”. She certainly has proved herself to very high in the fashion stakes, flaunting all kinds of outfits in public, and appearing in the fashion magazines daily. I ask her about the idea behind her debut single, “Peas”, and she starts telling me about previous boyfriends, chance and unrequited love. However, I kind of get the feeling there is something more. “Let's face it” I say, “You just love peas don’t you?”. At this, she laughs right on cue, for which I am highly grateful. “I do actually” she replies. “When I was little I used to build pea towers and stuff like that. And I never used to be told to eat my peas, I always ate them anyway. I was a really cool kid”. I have to laugh at this. This woman even makes a childhood habit of building towers out of peas sound like some cool, unique hobby. I can tell that this girl has no fears about being individual and pushing the boat out in the music industry: the video for the single features Jodie wearing a pea green lycra catsuit, with pea dancers all around her. We then talk about when the forthcoming album, “Never say never” will be released. “April 4th hopefully” she says “But we’re hoping that the single will be so popular that we can get it released a lot earlier!”. I can tell that this girl has no doubts about her own ability: she has a good voice and she knows it. Jodie then goes on to tell me about how her interest in music developed from when she was a child, where she used to perform singing concerts to her whole family. “If they didn’t applaud enough, I would go in a sulk for the rest of the day!” she laughs. Jodie’s mother knew she had an amazing ability from a young age. She sent her to the prestigious drama and music school “stage coach” in the hopes that it would help get her into the business. And it has obviously worked for 18 year old Jodie, who is set to become the newest indie-diva on the block. “I could totally beat Beyonce in a fight. She would get totally thrashed” are the final words of Jodie, as she saunters out of the interview room, hands on her hips, and I can tell that this girl is a diva in the making, and you boys had better watch out.
