Last Night

Hillary and I went to the first of two performances of the American Idols LIVE tour last night. We had a suite VERY close to the stage. To say the least the night was bitter sweet. I think we both would have enjoyed it more if we weren't so in love with Jason Castro and David Cook. We both cried....alot....hahaha. The show was AMAZING, and everyone did a great job. They have all improved tremedously since the show and it was fun to see them dance and actually perform full versions of songs from the show and songs they love. My favorites last night besides David and Jason were Micheal Johns, Carly S., and David A.
I don't think i've ever heard a louder crowd than when David A. hit the stage singing Robbie Williams' "Angels". You couldn't even hear the kid sing because the crowd was so excited to see him. Archie sang 4 songs and could barely finish his last one because he was crying. While he was singing Josh Grobans "When you say you love me" he kept rubbing his eyes and brushing the tears off his cheeks. After he was finished performing he thanked everyone a million times over for everything and said, "Now look at what you made me do!" because he stared crying again. I was so touched and I know he was too.
David Cook followed Archie by saying "How do I follow that guy?". But sure enough he did and his performance was by far the best one man show i've ever seen. He kept the crowd involved and kept making comments about how it was the loudest arena he'd ever been in. I'm pretty sure we made eye contact but I'm crossing my fingers that tonight Hillary and I will get back stage. We have closer seats tonight and The E Center events director is doing everything she can to get us backstage passes. Her name is Julie and she is the one that got us such great seats for both performances. We owe her alot even if we don't get backstage tonight.
Anyways, we are going tonight at 7 to see our boys and this time I think we will be a little more composed. Once we get backstage all that is left is just to set a wedding date for me and David. :)
