Hello India! Welcome to What’s Your Story! I’m very excited to be interviewing you today. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog!Hidden Gem by Indie LeePages: 224
Genre: YA Contemporary
Lavishly disguised pop singer, Queen Bee, is known abroad for her high-fashion wardrobe and killer vocals. In the states, she's just Gemma Hunter - shy suburban teenager in her strange new role of high school junior.
Luckily, Gemma is taken under the wing of the fiery and popular Madison, who leads her into the high school life of the charmed. Her world as Gemma quickly becomes everything she ever wanted in a normal life - that is until international teen heartthrob, Tyler Chase, announces his celebrity crush on Queen Bee. Suddenly, Gemma's alter ego becomes a household name as the handsome singer's loyal "Tyler Chasers" create a frenzy to discover her true identity.
And just when Gemma thinks she can hide from the celebrity drama in her high school life, Lucas - her next door neighbor as well as Madison's boyfriend - develops an interest in her that goes far beyond platonic, and Gemma soon learns that rumors aren't strictly for the stars.
We’re going to be doing this a little different today than how interviews are usually done. Since the Hidden Gem series is about a girl who’s a famous singer, our interview is going to play on that theme.
Open up iTunes or your iPod, go to all your songs, and put them on shuffle. Press play. The name of the song that comes up will be the answer to the question. Write the name of the song and the name of the artist. For each question, go to the next song.

Scotty Mccreery is my favorite singer! He made me listen to more country music :)

ReplyDeleteMy fav singers will have to be the boy band Big Bang

Thank you for taking the time to do this giveaway :) I have too many favorite artists to name. It all depends on my mood at that moment :)
ReplyDeleteI really like Nico Touches the Walls and Flumpool. They are both Japanese bands. Let's just say I'm more on my Asian heritage. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway
My favourite singer? I've got so many! I rather like Adele (she's got such a unique and husky voice, and I love the lyrics to her songs) and well, similarly to if somebody asks me who my fave author is, my reply is: there's too many people to choose from! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks heaps for the giveaway! I love YA books featuring Hollywood and celebrities.
