Outside the 5 star ST.Regis hotel in London a group of screaming school girls gather to see Mike James arriving for his stay in the hotel for his live performance at the famous 02 Arena. Mike James is 22 years old and is a pop superstar, only arriving on the scene in 2011 he has celebrated his 1st number one UK album and a hit UK single last year. This morning he tells us he was signing some autographs and pictures for the fans he had left waiting for him. Power asks him some questions about his super star life. We asked him how he deals with all the attention? "I loved it at first all the fame and the girls and the money isn't bad either, but after a while it gets boring. Yes I'm glad i have this life but i miss talking to girls and getting to know them instead of them screaming my name and only knowing me on the stage and not off it". Before his performance Mike James talks to the people who have backstage passes and says this is one of his favourite parts of the job. He gets to talk to the girls that got back stage passes as himself, not some superstar that everyone is screaming and raving about him. We asked do you have any pre performance rituals or superstitions? "Well yes and no i do believe if i don't relax fully in the hotel by playing fifa and eating well then i will perform badly for my fans, but i also believe that most of it is down to the fans and how they create a atmosphere in which i can almost amplify my performance". His current tour involves him playing at the 02 Arena this weekend Friday to Sunday and then moving up the and down the country to perform at places like Wembley and in cities like Leeds, Reading, Newcastle and his tour even involves a late addition with a stop in Cardiff and the Millennium stadium.
We asked the star are their places you prefer performing at? "Leeds and London are great places to perform but my fans are great wherever i go they always support me and i owe them for that". Last year the star was verbally slated by Danny Baker
