LIFE AS I KNOW IT

WILL YOUNG

 

Singer Will, 32 shot to fame when he won Pop Idol. He is single and lives in London

 

If i could change anything about myself.....get rid of the bags under my eyes. I dont mind getting older but they make me look tired.

 

The most romantic thing anyone has ever done for me....Nothing springs to mind, im usually the romantic one in the relationship.

 

Not a lot of people know this but I am very good at.....Spotting African birds of prey, ive got all the books and i go to places like Zambia and Namibia every year.

 

You may not know it but i am no good at....heights which is strange as ive just done a video 10 metres up in the air on a trapeze, i was properly freaking out, sweating, the lot

 

To wake myself up I....get out of bed and head for Starbucks, im a man of routine

 

Last thing at night i always...check my emails. I dont like them constantly coming through to my phone during the day, because i find it so distracting.

 

If i have time to myself I....like to watch trash tv. come dine with me, the only way is Essex, made in Chelsea, I love all those.

 

When im feeling down i ....go for a run, if im going to a stressful meeting, ill take my running gear and change into it and jog back home.

 

My happy place is... my house in Cornwall, its so peaceful there and after 3 days im properly chilled out and dont want to go back.

 

My best friend is.... a girl called Claire , who i lived with at Uni

 

The best thing my parents taught me.... you should treat people as you expect to be treated

 

Its not good for my image but likeMcDonalds, I always have the same thing, a quarter pounder meal and then two cheeseburgers, its my little treat to myself when im on the road

 

My biggest influence is...My friends, i love being around people who are really positive

 

My greatest weakness is...over thinking anything and everything

 

I drive... a Mercedes G Wagon and i love the boxy shape of it

 

The song i cant get out of my head is...everything on the new Arctic Monkeys album Suck it and see (stop it Bev :blink: )

 

When i was a child i wanted to be...a singer i was always humming away and always knew i wanted to be a pop star.

 

My biggest regret is doing World Idol tv show a few years ago. It was dreadful.

 

My proudest moment is.. having my own ITV special which i did recently to promote the new album.

 

The shop i cant walk past without buying something is... the Margaret Howell store in London. they do the most wonderful clothes.

 

The most expensive thing ive aver frittered money on is.... a very pricey Yves Saint Laurent cloak style coat.

 

My perfect Sunday is.. popping out the buy the paper then having lunch with friends.

 

My favourite place in Britain is... London, its the best city in the world.

 

On my last holiday I...went to a retreat in Ibiza and fasted for five days. I didnt smoke or drink and felt amazing afterwards. Now im back to my old habits.

 

The best day of my life was...winning Pop Idol because it changed my life.

 

My last meal would be... garlic bread and spaghetti bolognese with grated cheese on top

 

Finished typing now all done :D

Did anyone else notice the tweet from 'ON AIR WITH TONY' a few hours ago?

 

It appears to be a radio station in LA and he was playing Will. I wonder what song it was.

Will Young tells why he named his new album after the Liverpool Echo

 

by Jade Wright, Liverpool EchoSep 9 2011

 

Will Young"I’VE had some of the best nights of my life in Liverpool”, muses Will Young. “It’s always been a lucky place for me. Right from the beginning, I remember good things happened for me there.

 

“Just after Pop Idol I sang with Burt Bacharach when he played the Summer Pops.

 

“Then I started working with LIPA, and I’ve lost count of the amazing students I’ve met there. Then I’ve had such great gigs in Liverpool. The audiences are crazy, which is great as a performer.

 

“I try to sneak up to Liverpool whenever I can. When I did a radio tour recently, I kept saying to the record company ‘I need to go to Liverpool’. I did, I mean the radio stations are great, but really I was trying to get to the Tate at the Albert Dock to see the Magritte exhibition.

 

“I didn’t even make it. In the end we were so pushed for time, all I did was get to run into the gift shop and buy some postcards. My friends and family all think I went, so I do need to go back. That’s my next mission – actually get round the exhibition.”

 

Will will be in town for his November 6 gig at the Empire.

 

“I love the Empire,” he grins. “I had such a good time there when I last played. Lots of the students I’d been working with at LIPA came to see me. It was one of my favourite nights of the tour.”

 

It’s hard to believe, but February marks 10 years since Will was crowned Pop Idol, winning the TV competition that kicked off the Noughties’ golden age of TV talent shows.

 

The Berkshire boy was just 21 when he stepped in front of Nicki Chapman, Neil Fox, Pete Waterman and Simon Cowell to deliver a shy, almost apologetic version of Blame It On The Boogie.

 

“Slightly cheesy” was the panel’s verdict but, nevertheless, he sailed through and just as calmly won over the voting public. Contrary to stories at the time, Young wasn’t the underdog at any stage, leading the phone-voting figures from the off.

 

Considering the attention now lavished upon Pop Idol’s successor The X Factor, it’s interesting the talent show genre’s most creatively successful star appeared so early on.

 

“It’s all changed so much since my day,” says Will, smiling. “Saying that, I’d still do X Factor. It’s what you make of it, isn’t it? It’s a chance and a massive leg up, but you have to pick up the baton and run with it.

 

“Watch Pop Idol now and it looks like you’re watching a show from the Eighties. It’s very weird and genuine.

 

“When something becomes a success, it goes into the mainstream marketplace and it’s hard for it to seem genuine again. We had no agenda then – and the judges are the biggest stars now, not the talent.”

 

To hear how far Will has come since his early auditions covering soul classics, you only need to listen to his new album Echoes.

 

“I named it after the best newspaper in the world,” he laughs. “I should have called it Liverpool Echoes shouldn’t I? But the street vendors just shout ‘Echo’ so I named it after that.”

 

Sophisticated, measured and perfectly written, it’s some of his best work.

Not sure if this link is going to work,

looks like an echoes snippet in an asian paper it on page 15/16

 

Almost a decade has passed since this British singer-songwriter rose to fame as the first winner of British television talent show Pop Idol.

 

On his fifth album, the Leave Right Now singer goes for understated grace over in-your-face pop schmaltz, with the help of esteemed producer Richard X - a tack that most definitely works for him.

 

His honeyed tone carries the title track and others, like Good Things and Lie Next To Me, beautifully.
