Backstage Gossip

Natasha Bedingfield on stage

The Entertainment News team hung out backstage at One Big Weekend to bring you all the gossip...

Sunday was the bands day and Natasha Bedingfield and Estelle did a cover of Maroon 5's 'This Love' - they didn't have much time to rehearse it but it went down really well.

We spoke to Natasha as soon as she came off stage and she was buzzing:

"Obviously the crowd is really into it, so that's really exciting."

"I just think that thing with Estelle was just wonderful because the crowd just joined in and we all just sang it and jammed."

"Yeah, I just feel like really 'Aaaaaaaaah!'"

Estelle on stage

Estelle was so excited about how well it went she says they're now thinking of releasing it later this year:

"Oh my Lord, I couldn't believe it, as soon as they heard the beat they started singing along and it was nuts."

"It was like we didn't even have to sing and they loved it. It was bare vibes, I can't believe it."

"I think we should do a cover of that and release it, maybe for Christmas or something."

"We were like 'Let's do something together', and Radio 1 were like 'It would be wicked if you did'."

"So, we were like, 'What tune shall we do?' and I was like 'You know what, my tune of the year is 'This Love' right now - it's a beautiful song."

"So we were just like 'Ok!', so we did it!"

Johnny from Razorlight

They weren't the only ones to give the crowd something new, Razorlight performed a new track.

It's so new it hasn't even got a name yet and even their record company hadn't heard it - Johnny Borrell from the band explained how it made it's way into their set:

"I wrote it about a year ago in Finsbury Park - the legendary Finsbury Park writing sessions."

"We've been recording it - it's really good - it doesn't sound like that on the record, but I just sort of felt like playing it."

"It's the first time we've ever not ended with 'In The City' I think, ever in the history of Razorlight."
