Detroit, MI review... :) :(

Well as most of you guys know i went to the concert last night in Detroit Michigan. Heres the review::

We got there at about 2:00 and were standing by the busses with some other people and guess what...i JUST missed Bucky, Chris, and Ace signing autographs by ONLY 10 MINUTES! i was so mad when i heard that. We met this group of like 5 people that have been there since 7 in the morning! They were saying that the boys just got there and litterly seen their bus pull up but they havent even seen the girls bus so i was pretty happy that i didnt miss Kellie. While we were waiting we could see behind the fence Bucky (who just got McDonalds), Elliot, Taylor, and Chris (who was on the phone the whole time) waving and riding this motorized scooter. The boys i swear loved that thing! All of us fans were just watching them and wishing they would take a break from riding that and sign autographs but they didnt come back out. Almost 5:00 and still no sign of any girls. And now everyone is thinking that they have to be there because its only 2 hours till showtime. And guess what we found out...The Girls bus took a different way and parked BEHIND the boys bus so none of us could see them So they have been there this WHOLE time we have been waiting there! At this time i was kinda bummed because it didnt look like Kellie was comming out. At around 5:30 we saw Paris walking and that was the only girl we saw. Since all the idols were already inside and getting ready we left the busses by about 6. Kamynn and i were REALLY bummed but we still tried to stay positive and hope to see Kellie after the concert.

Well Me, Kamynn, and my mom had seats but my aunts boyfriend has a sweet at the arena so we went there to eat and accidently stayed there too long because the concert started and so we missed Aces first song because we were running to get back to our seats. But we did see when he did "Harder to Breathe" and he definetly looked so hott

Mandisa wasnt there because she was sick and that was a bummer because i was really looking forward to seeing her

Then Lisa Came out and she did pretty good and when Paris came out it was even better. Paris was one of my favorites at the concert because she really got you dancing and having a good time. Me and Kamynn would definetly not sit down haha

Bucky came out and he was really good. I do have to say when i seen him by the busses he did look cute...hes MUCH cuter in person! He did an awesome job.

Then OMG when Kellie came out i was so excited i thought i was going to have a heartattack or faint or something! I went aboslutely nuts!! The duet with Bucky was so cute! I loved when she was dancing on him then bumped him away. They were both laughing when she did that. Then bucky left and it was all Kellie! She basically said everything she normally says like "one day she was rollerskating burgers out at sonic when nobody was interested in her and all they wanted was their food and now people are actually interested in her" But i do have to say.. It just didnt seem like Kellie was her normal self. It seemed kinda like she wasnt havin fun or something..ill tell you more about that later..

Intermission..

CHRIS DID AWESOME!! he definetly rocked out and i think out of everyone he got the most screams! He was awesome! He did a duet with Elliot and that was great!

Elliot did awesome too! I really did an amazing job! I love his voice and im definetly an even bigger fan of his.

Katharine did great too i have to say! I wasnt a real big fan of hers but now i respect her a little more. She did an amaing job with "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" and did an even better job at "Somewhere over the Rainbow" That girl can DEFINETLY sing amazingly no matter what! She said she could only do those two songs because the doctor has her on strict orders and on top of that "I BROKE MY FOOT!" it was kinda cute when she said that.

Now Big TAYLOR! He did a GREAT GREAT GREAT AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING job! He got everyone out of their seat and everyone was dancing and havin a good time. He did absolutely wonderful! I loved when he sang "Do I Make you Proud" It was so good!

After all that the two group performances were great too. I went nuts again seeing Kellie! haha When they sang "livin in america" and you guys know how if you went to the concert or seen the video online you see that Kellie is dancing and smiling alot and stuff..well it wasnt really like that I mean she danced and stuff but for some reason i just didnt think she was her normal self.

And heres the big dissapointment..after the concert::

We went staight by the busses again hoping to get an autograph or talk to Kellie or at least Kellie see our shirts or signs or something and it didnt happen. Kellie was actually the first to come out to their busses and she was in her sweats (which she still looks so pretty in ) and she had like her water in one hand and a backpack on and she just kinda came out the doors and everyone started screaming "KELLIE" "KELLIE" and she didnt really look back she just put up her hand and kinda waved not really facing us. The other idols started comming out and waving a little bit. Chris of course was on the phone and Elliot was still riding that darn scooter haha. Paris kept dancing the whole time but didnt really pay attention to any of us. They were all kinda doing their own thing not really acknologing us which was kinda sad. I do have to say that Bucky really impressed me the most! He always waved and always saw us and stuff. He was really cool. We were there, along with alot of other people, a long time and then it looked like the busses were loading up and getting ready to leave so the police all kicked us out!

Theres the review..sorry if its too long..hope you guys enjoyed it.

I have to say since you guys are like family last night the concert was AMAZING... but the night was probably one of the biggest dissapointments to me that i have felt in a long time. Kamynn and I just tried to stay positive and kept saying that we are gonna meet them and stuff trying to be positive and i think we got our hopes up a little too high because after that concert both our heads were down and i have to say even tearing a bit. Before the concert we were so excited...calling everyone we knew to pray for us and at after the concert we were just basically the lowest of low.

I also help Kellie is ok and it was just my imagination or something. I REALLY miss her today and i wish she got to see my t-shirt.

(I'll post pics of the t-shirts we made, the car we wrote all over, and maybe some of the concert)

Crowd worships 'Idols' at The Joe

Adam Graham / Detroit News Pop Music Writer

"American Idols Live!"
Wednesday, Joe Louis Arena, Detroit
GRADE: C+

In a massive ode to consumerism, populism and everything else that America holds dear, the juggernaut that is "American Idol" steamrolled through Joe Louis Arena in Detroit on Wednesday night.

Besides being peddled $20 programs, $30 T-shirts and endless plugs for tour-sponsoring Pop Tarts, the sold-out crowd was treated to karaoke performances from nine of the fifth-season "American Idol" finalists. Most were passable, though some left you wishing Simon Cowell would appear on stage and deliver the singers a stern tongue-lashing.

After five seasons, "American Idol" has gone through enough cycles that fans know they'll probably never see most of the performers on a stage this size again.

That seemed to be OK with the audience -- mostly made up of parents and their children -- who heartily gave it up for "Idol" also-rans Ace Young, Paris Bennett, Lisa Tucker, Kellie Pickler and even clueless, rhythmless southern rocker Bucky Covington.

(No one seemed to mind much that Mandisa was sick and unable to make it, though cheese ball Denverite Young assured the crowd she "sends her love.")

Young got the crowd excited early -- when he removed his jacket and made puppy dog eyes at the audience, it elicited more cheers than any of his shrill notes -- but the evening's biggest showcases were saved for the four finalists: Elliott Yamin, Katharine McPhee, Taylor Hicks and Chris Daughtry.

Judging by the wild screams of preteen girls in attendance, Daughtry, the bald rocker whom many thought deserved to win this year's competition, gave Hicks a run for his money as the night's most popular performer. Rolling through Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" and Styx's "Renegade" with an icy cool confidence, Daughtry was at ease on stage and managed to deliver the goods vocally. His rocker poses seemed unforced and natural, whereas Ford pitchman Hicks' spastic dance moves and pained facial gestures were even harder to watch live than on television.

Runner-up McPhee, battling a public image problem since sacking the first section of the tour due to a supposed bout with bronchitis, performed two songs, lazily taking on KT Tunstall's "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" and impersonally running through "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

Though under "strict orders" to give her voice a rest, she managed to make it back out for the finale, singing James Brown's "Livin' in America" with the rest of the gang while hobbling on-stage on her broken left foot.

McPhee was outclassed Wednesday by the nearly forgotten Tucker, who surprised the audience by performing and playing piano on two Elton John classics, and good-time gal Pickler, whose vocals may be limited but whose enthusiasm is utterly contagious.

She has done SO much within the past year and it's probably very stressful on her right now...I know it would be for me.
