Thanks for your email. The competition has finished now and a band called The Pirates has won. We’re coming home today.

We’ve had an amazing time. And guess what? Joss Stone was a judge at the competition. I’ve heard her on the radio before and I’ve seen her on TV too. She’s made some great albums and written lots of good music. She’s really nice. She’s given us six free tickets to her concert at the Queen’s Theatre next Saturday. Do you want to come with us? I haven’t been to a pop concert before. Maybe we’ll see more famous stars!

My favourite star is Justin Timberlake. He’s a fantastic singer and dancer. I’ve got all his albums and I’ve been to twenty of his concerts too, but I’ve never met him. That’s my dream!

There are 36 posters of Justin on my bedroom wall, and a photo with his autograph on my desk. I’ve had three Justin Timberlake birthday cakes and four Justin Timberlake calendars. My JT diary is very special! I put concert tickets and photos from concerts in it – it’s very cool!

I give Justin a birthday present every year. I’ve never talked to him, but I know a lot about him. Check out my JT factfile! Am I a superfan? Yes, I am!

We’ve arrived in Washington and it’s snowing. I’ve never seen snow before! It’s beautiful.

Disaster! I can’t find my music. I’ve never lost it before! I’ve looked in my room and in my bag, but it isn’t there. We’ve got a concert in two hours!

It was OK in the end! We found the music in Luis’s bag. The concert was fantastic – people danced! This afternoon, we went to a football game. We’ve never seen American football before. I’ve bought a Redskins T-shirt.

We’re in an Internet café. They’re playing Linkin Park on the radio. I love heavy metal and I’ve heard this song before – it’s really good! We’ve got our last concert this evening. I’m feeling nervous!
