Chase & Status had been announced as special guest healiners a couple of days before the event so I felt lucky to get the tickets! It was part of the 'MTV's Brand New for 2011' competition. Many artists were competing and votes were taken in a poll. Some of the contenders were amongst those of Jessie J, Labrinth, Mona, Clare Maguire and many more.
Before Chase & Status, the two acts involved in this competition were Clare Maguire and Mona. Though we missed Clare Maguires performance due to myself being a bit late, we managed to catch Mona's performance, but admittedly we were gearing ourselves up for Chase & Status and making the most of the free photobooth during their performance. However, I did know one or two of their songs and enjoyed hearing them get played. Here is one of the pictures from the photobooth of myself, Charlotte and our two friends, Emma and Ellen that we met up with in Koko. Not too sure where I thought the camera was.. seem to be looking up a little too high!Here is the video to my favourite song by them:
The votes have now all been counted and Mona infact won the competition. Big things are expected of them and I think they've got a good future ahead of them musically considering they were up against the likes of Jessie J who recently did fantastically reaching #2 in the UK charts with her Debut single 'Do it like A Dude.' Following a report on the vote, it seems Jessie J was a favourite and managed to gain 27% of the vote. She was closely followed by Far East Movement, Willow Smith and Clare Maguire. However Mona took 32% of the vote securing a win and taking over the crown from last years winner, Justin Bieber.
Chase & Status put on a fantastic performance and we managed to catch a glimpse of Noel Fielding up in a balcony watching them too!
