American Idol Concert ROCKED!

Generally, I'm a passive fan of American Idol. Generally, Jeremiah is a die hard fan of American Idol. Needless to say, Jeremiah bought concert tickets when they went on sale. Not only did he purchase tickets, he purchased the VIP package! The package included a "meet and greet" with the idols before the concert and KILLER seats! Before I knew it, I was just as excited as Jeremiah was.

We didn't take a picture with Thia Megia, Stefano Langone, or Lauren Alaina. We never liked Thia or Stefano. I heard Lauren was sick and then I heard she was hurt. Whatever the case, I was irritated that she wasn't at the meet and greet but she showed up for the concert??? Whatever. I didn't care either way and I had plenty of fun without her. I felt bad for the little girls that wanted to meet her. Then, she wouldn't touch any of the fans hands that reached out for her when she performed. She waved instead??? The other idols touched fans hands when they performed. Whatever. Anyway, here is our journey through Wed. night. It was quite a night! Thank you baby :o)

VIP Group picture.

Naima Adedapo. We went to visit her first. We didn't stay long because we wanted to make sure we had enough time to visit with everyone else.

Haley Reinhart. I don't know why, but Jeremiah loooves Haley! I was not a fan. Not even a little bit. And it isn't because he liked her. I graciously told Jeremiah I would take their picture so I did. What I really wanted to do was ask this girl where the rest of her shorts were. She was wearing some teeny tiny shorts!

Jacob Lusk. Then it was my turn. OMG! Can you tell I was a little excited? I love this guy! He was like the first cousin that everyone loves. So warm, friendly, and just good people. So, Motown week was my favorite week. I asked him if he was going to sing You're All I Need To Get By. He said he didn't know but he might. Let me tell ya, when the intro started playing, I lost my mind. I got my groove on from the beginning to the end of that song! Jeremiah graciously offered to take our picture.

Paul McDonald. His smile is just as bright in person. I told him that it is so wrong that he looks better in skinny jeans than I do! He fell out laughing and we were instant buddies! We chatted it up, too!

Casey Abrams. I still can't believe how much hair this boy has! I had to run my hands through it and he was totally cool about it! He was really sweet and humble. J LOVES him some Casey Abrams! He performed Georgia during Hollywood week and Jeremiah watched a 2 min video over and over and over again! I'm glad he was such a nice guy.

Pia Toscano. She told me I was "cute" and "sweet"! I couldn't believe how beautiful she was in person! She looked way better in person than she does on tv. And I told her so! She said that she didn't like how she looked on tv. We talked like we were old friends from college. Seriously, she made me feel like were Oprah and Gail. I loved her! Jeremiah said she felt squishy. Like hugging a grandma or something.

James Durbin.

Waiting in line to see Scotty.

Scotty McCreery. He was such a nice young man! Down to earth and everything. By the time we made it to him, we ran out of time and didn't get to talk to him much. We still got our picture, though!

We were the eighth row from the stage! Mr. Man went all out.

In our seats and waiting for the concert to start. Geez, that was a long hour to wait! A really cool couple ended up sitting next to us and we talked until the concet started. Then we ended up talking on and off throughout the evening.

The girls performed Born This Way as the opening number.

Pia performing Empire State of Mind.

Paul performing Maggie May. He did an amazing job! He is such a likable guy.

Casey and James.

James still rockin' out.

The guys performing Animal.

Casey performing Harder to Breathe. He was so entertaining.

Naima and James. This was all of the idols, except Scotty, performing Forget You by Cee Lo Green. It was a GREAT performance! It ended WAY too soon!

Here's Lauren performing If I Die Young. J loved this performance. He was walking around the house singing this song. It was cute.

I still can't believe how close we were!

Jacob performed Never Too Much and You're All I Need to Get By. He did a FANTASTIC job! I loved every second of it!

Haley performing The House of the Rising Sun.

Scotty made me like country music...only for one night :o)
