American Idol Tour 2008

On Monday night Amber, Julie and I all went to see the American Idol concert.  It was SO good.  I was actually surprised at all good they all were.  It is so easy to watch someone on TV and to say "yeah they are pretty good at singing" but to hear them all in person was seriously amazing.  

So it was the top ten singers and they each got to perform about three songs.  Some of the songs were songs that they sang on the show and some of them were not.  Each one of them did an amazing job and I was surprised at what great performers they all were.  I even have to give a few apologies.  

First I would like to start with Brooke White.  I never fully believed in her especially there at the end when she would mess up on the words and such.  But she was amazing. I would totally buy her CD.  She played both the piano and the guitar.  I loved her version of "Let it Be" (that is also one of my favorite songs) but she also did a rendition of "Yellow" by coldplay that was really really good.

Next I need to apologize to Jason Castro.  I never really liked him.  I was so shocked that he went as far as he did and ever week I hoped that he would be kicked off.  BUT... I stand corrected.  He also put on a great show with his super chill attitude and music... I would probably listen to him as well.  



Michael John doesn't need an apology from me because I have liked him from the start. Watching him in concert though has just made my love for him grow stronger.  I would even go as far to say that I like him and his voice better than I like David Cooks. (I know there are many people who would disagree but... to each their own)

Then of course the night ended with the two Davids.  The crowd was going crazy when little Archie started. He was true to his same cute slightly shy personality that he had on the show. 




Then the last performer was David Cook.  Everyone loves him and he proved himself worthy of the title American Idol.

All in all it was an incredible night to see all of them perform.

Hey April!! I have been wanting to get in touch with you for years and finally ran into Jenny Middleton at church today, got access to her blog, which in turn led me to you! I am so excited to be able to see what you are up to, sounds like a lot of fun, as well as be able to say "hey!" My blog is crisenberryclan.blogspot.com, or something like that, so write back when you get the chance, it would be great to catch up after all of these years. You look great, by the way, I love the brown hair!
