American Idol Fever!!!

So we got a chance to check out the American Idols on tour the other night! It was quite a terrific show! I didn't really know what to expect, but found myself singing and yelling "Ya'll better sing!" :) Every one's performance was great. Sanjaya's rendition of Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" was very entertaining. Lakisha brought the house down with her performance of Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You"... that girl gave me chills! Of course Melinda's performance of Aretha's "Natural Woman" was flawless. Blake was just unbelievable! Of course he was my favorite on the show, so seeing him live was a real treat. Phil Stacey's version of "America the Beautiful" was so fitting as he donned his Navy Uniform for the performance. Chris Richardson wowed the crowd with his vocals and Justin Timberlake looks! Gina Glocksen was full of energy and spunk. Her vocals were dead on as well. Haley Scarnato did a fantastic job. Greenville's own Chris Sligh received a booming welcome home cheer from all the hometown fans and supporters. His performance was terrific. Last but not least, the American Idol herself Jordin Sparks lit up the stage as she finished the night with her performance. Her delivery of "I (who have nothing)" was simply beautiful. She did a great job with the song on the show, but hearing it live was absolutely breathtaking.

Oh and as we enjoyed the show, we took a few moments to get some snap shots of the idols. :)


OK, I the entertainment critic will end here by saying that music is the air that I breath. Most people that know me are aware of this, but for those of you who don't... now you do. Seeing the idols pursue their dreams of music just warmed my heart and inspired me to pick up my guitar again. :) Until next time ... be blessed.
