Ellie Goulding tweeted this after her performance on Later... with Jools Holland: "That was the most nerve racking thing I have ever done and you could tell! But I enjoyed it believe it or not!!!!"
I, for one, don't really see what was so nerve-racking about it. Yes, Jools Holland is a big deal, but she did the whole thing like an old pro; she banged on a drum, did some very light dancing, and rubbed her hands together at the end as if Jools was bringing her a particularly buttery cookie. Well done, by anyone's standards.










Thought it was a reasonable performance. Not exactly a 'wow' moment, but considering how few live shows she has done and it was her first TV, it was fine.
