0:00:15 > 0:00:19First up, Ryan Giggs has been announced as Wales new manager.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22He's signed a four year deal and says he can't wait to start.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25But he's never been a manager before so not everyone is sure if he's
0:00:25 > 0:00:27the right man for the job.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28But what do you guys think?
0:00:28 > 0:00:33Let's hear from some of you in Bangor in North Wales.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36I think he deserved a chance but I don't fully
0:00:36 > 0:00:38agree with the decision.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41I'm happy he got the job but I would be more happy
0:00:41 > 0:00:45if Osian Roberts or Craig Bellamy got the job.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48I'm not very happy because I don't think he's proven himself
0:00:48 > 0:00:50at all to be honest.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53He missed all the friendlies when he was a player.
0:00:53 > 0:01:00I don't think he's shown enough passion for Wales to get the job.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Oh, dear.

0:02:47 > 0:02:53song?What is your process? I always start with melodies.So you start
0:02:53 > 0:02:57with the melody and you think about the lyrics after that? Do you ever
0:02:57 > 0:03:04threw away a song or keep at it? Yes, we throwaway songs. It happens
0:03:04 > 0:03:09all the time. You can't have that pressure on yourself.Who inspired
0:03:09 > 0:03:17you when you were younger? Rather there any you loved as a kid?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Definitely my siblings. My sister there is an amazing songwriter but
0:03:20 > 0:03:23she doesn't work in music and my brother taught me to play guitar,
0:03:23 > 0:03:36but famous ones, like definitely Adele, Keane, Coldplay. We did a
0:03:36 > 0:03:42cover of Ellie Golding.Do you think you would go crazy if you met the
0:03:42 > 0:03:47likes of her?I don't know! I started crying when I have got BBC
0:03:47 > 0:03:54Sound of 2018.Is it true that you only started to sing and write
0:03:54 > 0:04:01original songs after your brother was fed up of you singing Adele
0:04:01 > 0:04:06covers all the time?It is true. He is a musician as well as studying
0:04:06 > 0:04:11here in England so he was playing a show in my home time and he said
0:04:11 > 0:04:17please do not do any more of those, because he knew I had been trying to
0:04:17 > 0:04:21write original songs for half a year without any results. I still have
0:04:21 > 0:04:28those voice memos on my iPhone. But I wrote a song when I was 16 years
0:04:28 > 0:04:33old and that was the first song I ever wrote.I love her latest track,
