Student Speak LOVES


Here at Student Speak we like to be kept up-to-date with the latest goings on – whether that’s in the land of showbiz, current gadgets or just an amazing product – we are all over it! Here, our team of journalists discuss what is rocking their world at the moment...

Grace loves:

The return of Catchphrase
“How excited was I upon the discovery that a new and improved ‘Catchphrase’ was returning to our screens this year? With the wonderful Stephen Mulhern on board as host, the first episode was entertaining, fun and easy to get stuck into. It’s definitely one of those game shows that gets you shouting at the television, frenetically trying to guess the right answer before the contestants do. Then there’s that feeling of a ridiculous sense of pride and smugness when you get it right... Let’s face it, we all love a good game show every now and then, it’s a great form of escapism!”

Amrit loves:

Instagram

“Instagram has been around for quite a while but it’s becoming increasingly popular amongst us social networkers. It’s an addiction, Instagraming everything from our food or the snow in our gardens. The greatest thing about this App is that you can add different effects to your pictures so if you have a spot you want to hide or you want to blur someone out all you have to do is hit the button.
Instagram is also a great way of following your favourite celebs and feeling that little bit closer to them. Images such as Kim Kardashian’s baby bump Or Frankie from The Saturdays engagement ring were first aired on Instagram. You can follow fitness enthusiasts, make-up artists or fashion experts to keep up with the latest trends. It’s definitely an app worth having!”

Hannah loves:

Little Mix Feat Missy Elliot: “How Ya Doin’?”

“I have never been keen on Little Mix – I didn’t particularly warm to them on X Factor, and to me, their songs have always had that sort of wishy-washy, take-them-or-leave-them sort of vibe. But when I heard their latest offering, “How Ya Doin’?”, I was instantly taken aback. It’s reminiscent of a 90’s pop song, with its boppy beat, catchy lyrics and attitude-abundant tone. It also helps that the super-cool Missy Elliott is onboard, stamping her urban funk all over it and taking them to a whole new level with her distinct rapping. You’ll love it on the first listen.”

Dayna loves:
James Franco

“He first burst onto our scenes as Peter Parker’s gorgeous best friend in the ‘Spiderman’ trilogy, and he’s been appearing in hit films ever since. Blockbuster ‘127 Hours’, based on the true story of Aron Ralston, gained Franco an Oscar nomination for ‘Best Actor’, which established him as one of the most desired actors in the industry. My personal favourite would be the ‘The Rise of the Planet of the Apes’, where he starred as charming scientist who raises the ape Caeser with human-like qualities. The Hollywood heart-throb recently starred in ‘Oz the Great and Powerful’ as the wizard himself, and this month he’s back again in cinema’s again in ‘Spring Breakers’, where he plays Alien a dealer who gets involved with four college girls. James Franco is a favourite actor of mine, not only for his handsome good looks, but for his talent as an actor, and being able to portray different types of characters in every role he takes on.”
