Hello! You’re on air with Vicky. It’s 11:15am and I’m hopefully about to make your day a little bit brighter. As you can probably hear in the background, we’re going to be getting into the Christmas spirit! Yes, I know it’s only November but with Christmas Lights already being switched on, you can’t help starting to feel jolly!

Although, this isn’t going to be any ordinary Christmas show because we’re going to be giving you the chance to win a luxury shopping day accompanied by a matinée performance, ice skating and a Michelin star meal, so stay tuned for more details!

For now though, this is Demi Lovato with her smash hit ‘Let it Go’

That was ‘Let it Go’ from the highest-grossing animated film of all time, Frozen! Can you believe that Frozen was released 3 years ago? I remember watching it on the plane when I was on the way to Florida and I felt like I’d gone back to my 5 year old self again. I can imagine that the  Frozen merchandise will be a sell out in the Disney store again this year and why not? We all love seeing little Elsa’s and Anna’s running around the streets. But, I tell you what I want to see this year, I want to see Sven’s. Get your pets dressed up in the cutest outfits that look like Sven and take a snap of them! Send us your photos to be in with the chance of winning our special Christmas Rad FM mug! You can tweet us at RadFMRadio or post them on our Facebook page. We’ll decide on a winner in 2 weeks time, so get creative!

Now, up next we have a song by the recently broken up boy band One Direction. Obviously, everyone knows that One Direction were a band formed on the X-Factor, a talent show for those who feel they have the best all around skills to become the next singing super-star. It seems to be that year after the year the X-Factor becomes a little bit worse with regards to the ever changing judges panel, silly gimmicks and attempts to draw in a wider audience, when everyone knows that more people tune into Strictly Come Dancing regardless. This year, however, the show has managed to surpass themselves with it mainly focusing around the performances of ‘rapper’ Honey G. Now, Honey G has been controversial to say the least as she makes it through every week, and hence sending another good act home, simply by repeating her name during a song. Due to this, and many other contributing factors, the show has been classed as a fix and has lost millions of viewers. So, let me know what you think, do you think that this could be the end of X-Factor and could Honey G be our new Christmas number one?

Anyhow, here we have it, Little Things, a very heart-warming song by One Direction.

Wasn’t that just beautiful? Brilliant song from One Direction. Although the band are currently split and pursuing their own solo careers, with Zayn and Niall having released their own tracks, they have still maintained with fans that they will be getting back together, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

Now, coming through on our Twitter page is a lot of people agreeing that the X-Factor is past it’s prime and who believe that it will not be coming back for another year. @soph_davies has said “The show is becoming beyond a joke, no talent or sense left anymore”, @jackson123 said “I’d rather stick pins in my eyes than consider watching X-Factor” and @reggie.jones has said that “If Honey G wins, it proves that the show is just one big fix.” So, we have some strong opinions there but will this really be the end for X-Factor? Many of you don’t believe so, however a majority do. Only time will tell!

We’ll just give you an up to date traffic report for Birmingham. Most roads are clear, with traffic moving smoothly. Some areas around Digbeth are moving a bit slower and there has been an accident on Park Street involving a bus and a car so slow moving traffic there as police attend the scene. Other than that there doesn't appear to be any problems but should this change just give us a call on 0303 7893579.

Coming up we have a song by Michael Bublé, the King of Christmas songs! Now it’s rumoured that Mr Bublé has been in the recording studios ready to release yet another Christmas album, however with the recent and very sad news about his son, Noah, it’s unlikely that we will be seeing many merry appearances from him this year, and understandably so. At this time of year we need to make sure that we are thinking of all those around us that are very ill, visibly or not, and just make sure you’re checking in with them on a regular basis. We don't want anybody feeling like they're alone at Christmas and we most certainly want to make sure that all our loved ones are feeling okay. 

So here it is, Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) by the magnificent, MICHAEL BUBLÉ!

Now, if that doesn’t get you into the Christmas spirit then I’m afraid I don't know what will! Unfortunately we have come to the end of my jolly Christmas show but don’t you worry because up next you’ve got the fabulous Beth to listen to with her Friday night club sesh! I hope this has brightened up your morning and I hope you all have a VERY Merry Christmas!
