American Idol

Okay before I comment on my experience meeting the American Idols and going to the American Idol Concert with my two sisters and mom in Atlanta, I have to say I'M A FAN AND I'M PROUD! We had so much fun at the conert! We had amazing seats and watching the idols preform was awesome! They sang songs from the show as well as some new songs! I knew that I loved David Cook, and don't get me wrong he is truly the winner, but I was really surprised at some of the preformers that were much better than I had thought on the show! We had so much fun, we were sad to see it end. After the show, we were lucky enough to meet some of the idols and even talk to them. One of the high lights of my evening was meeting Jason Castro. I just love him! He was such a sweetie and probably one of the nicest and most out going! I'll post a few pictures of the meet and greet and the concert! Thanks Mom, Ashley, and Lynnette for a fun night! It was a birthday present for me...needless to say it was a awesome gift!
Mom, sister Ashley, Me, and sister Lynette having a wonderful time!
David Archuleta...My favorite preformer of the night! I just love him!!!What a cutie pie and sweet as can be! When he talked to us or the audience he was like a little boy, but when he sang...I was mezmorized! He gave us a high fives and told us "right on" when we said to him "Choose the Right! David "We just couldn't resist! :)
Jason Castro. Well you know how I feel about him. Those blue eyes... Up close he was gorgeous!
Brooke White was so down to earth. We talked a little bit because there was a small group next to us that was LDS as well and so we all had a little in common!
Syesha was beautiful and had amazing legs. While meeting the fans she was more on the quiet side!
Ramiele..Cute as a button and very tiny. Her voice sounded even better in person as well!
Carly was nice, but a little more rushed! We loved her preformace and thought she was hot!
Kristy Lee Cook was very nice (much more than I had imagined from the show) and talked alot to us! Really pretty girl!
The idols preformed one at a time starting from the first one eliminated to the winner David cook. The each sane 3-4 songs each and then had a groups song at the end. Here were some of my favorite preformances up close starting with Kristy Lee Cook!
Michael Johns was awesome! He is my mom's favorite. I had more fun watching her go crazy over him than anything, even though he was great!
Karly wow, she looked amazing. Much prettier in person. She was my favorite female preformer from the concert! She rocked the house!
Brooke White was very natural on stage and sang one of her best preformaces "Let It Be" on the piano.
Okay Jason Castro. Yes I'm a fan. My heart melted when he sang "Somewhere over the Rainbow" and yes he was my second favorite preformer that night! I liked him before, but now I'm an even bigger fan!
Syesha was great too. Better than I had thought on the show. She was a really good preformer!
Next to preform was David Archuleta. I have to say live, he was my favorite. I surprised myself at how excited I was to see him. When he sang it gave me goose bumps. Live his voice is truly amazing! He started off on the pianio singing "Angels" Can I say I just died. That's one of my favorite songs and preformances from him. He is also such a good and wholesome person! What can I say, I'm a fan!
And Last Was the Winner David Cook. He was amazing and sang my favorite song of his "Hello" He closed the night out like a true rocker! I loved it!

Emily! I love your blog, I just found it! I can't believe how much of an Idol fan you are, I think it's so hilarious. I always thought i was a fan, but nothing compared to you. You got some really cool pictures though! Fun!

We have watched the last few years of American Idol...we are fans too and have opinions on everyone. I agreed with alot of what you said. I personally never cared for Karly very much. All the boys stole the show this season!!
