Wow! This weekend has been sooo amazing! It was the perfect end to the BEST tour ever!!! I have soooo many pictures and videos of pretty much everything that happened at both shows. I dont have everything yet though because they are on a bunch of different cameras so hopefully I can post them all soon!
But for nowww... Heres my review!!!
Saturday, September 22
So we stayed up pretty much till 3am the night before and got woken up at 430 to get ready to leave. We were all pretty much dead tired but it was so worth it! We got to the arena at like 7 am, which I know is ridiculous lol. We were the only people there till like 11. We hung out for like ever and listened to idol songs on the ipod. We also vandelized some cars lol. Well actually just my friends lol. We wrote Jordin Sparks up my life all over her windows! lol We waited forever for the buses to come in. They came around 2 ish. The boys bus was first and then the girls bus came! Melinda was waving out the window and then JORDIN poked her head out and started waving frantically. We yelled to her that we had a present to give her and she was like okay I'll be up in a bit. We decided to walk to the other side of the fence because you can see whats going on over there. The arena is kinds of weird with the parking. You cant see whats going on from one side. So we are standng over there and we see Phile and Chris hangong out oustide and stuff. Then we see someone sprinting up this HUGE hill on the other side. I was like OMG its Jordin and we ran soooo fast to the other side! I sont think I've ever ran that fast in my life! We got over there ands saw Jordin signing things by the fences. We all got to the front and waited our turn. When she came over she got really excited! We gave her our present (a heart neckalce with her name on the front and idol junkies on the back) and she put the bag down and signed stuff for us and took pictures. I had Marissa on the phone with me because she couldnt be there and Jordin talked to her for a bit. I am pretty sure we have all of this on video somewhere! Then she kept going down the line. She started coming back our way and my friend Jen was like Jordin you should open up Jess's present. So she got the bag and started opening it! She's so cute! I have all of this part on video and I am uploading it right now so I dont really have to say what happens lol. Then we went to lunch//dinner and then went into the show.
We ended up having really good seats. We were right next to the stage like 3 rows up. When the first song started we saw right away that Jordin was wearing our necklace and we started freaking out! She wore it for the entire first half (she had to waer the circle one for the second half)! The concert was the same as the others lol. I have a lot of Jordin's set on video and a bunch of pictures! During the encore Jordin ran over to our side of the stage and I booked it down the stairs. She saw me immediately and like sat on the stage and squeezed my hand so tight and then said Thank You So Much! It was such an amazing way to end the concert!
After the concert we went and waited for the buses. A few of my friends had aftershow passes and they put there phone on speakerphone and put me us in her pocket so we could hear what was going on. At one point er hear Gina screaming JACKIE into the phone. Jackie grabbed the phone and Gina started talking to her! She was freaaaking out! lol Then they left Gina and she was like okay I'm going up to Jordin next! Before she went in there I told her that if she put Jordin in the phone I would kill her because I wouldnt know what to say. Of course a few seconds later I hear Jordin saying Hey Jess! I was like shut up and I just like stood there. She was like Helllooooooo and was like in awe. Then I hear her saying I think she hung up and I was like NOOOO I'm still here. I dont even remember what we talked about. I know she said something about it being so hot in there and that she was sweating buckets lol. Anddd I told her that we had more scrapbook pages for her tomorrow and she told me she was excited and that she and she would se us tomorrow. At this point a crowd had like formed around us. I hung up and we all started screaming lol. We pretty much looked like fools in front of everyone but thats okay because I got to talk to Jordin on the phone and my friend talked to her fave! Then waited around for a while and watched the buses pull out. Jordin was the only one that waved to fans as they pulled away. Then we got extremely lost going back to our hotel lol and went to bed.... well actually we didnt sleep at all lol
Okay Part 2:
Sunday, September 23
So we all woke up around 7 and got ready and everything and got to the arena by 9. We were getting everything out of the car and my friend Caitlin was basically carrying her life. She had sooo much stuff in her hands. Well we were ahead of her and then we hear like a HUGE crash! We look back and she was on the ground and her stuff was everywhere. She was like hysterical and her arm was wicked swollen. We ran and got her an icepack and then convinced her that we had to go to the hospital. We drove to the hospital with 5 of us crammed in the back of a corolla lol. Her mom was back at the hotel so she met us there. When she went in for x-rays she told us to go back to the arena and her mom would bring her there. We waited outside the arena for a few hours and she came back in a sling. She broke her elbow! It was a pretty sucky way to start our day! After she got back we went and waited for the buses to come in again. While we were waiting we decorated our frieds sling to say "I fell for Chris Rich..... literally!" because she is a HUGE Chris fan. We thought it was pretty funny. The buses pulled in and only Melinda and Phil came out. Melinda is hilarous! I love her! She was so excited to get her necklace because she had seen Jordin's the night before and she told us they were all gonna wear them!
We waited around for a while more and then went inside. We found our seats which were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We were in the 3rd row right next to the stage! We all leaned on the baracade for the entire show! When Jordin came out for "What Hurts The Most" We saw that she was wearing the neckalce again and we started freaking out! At the end of the song her and chris hugged forever! It was the cutest thing! Then Melinda came out and they sang "This Will Be". Melinda was wearing her necklace and it was really exciting! When Jordin walked up the steps in the begining she saw us and started waving frantically! It was so cute! At the end of the song they were both crying which made all of my friends and I cry. It was so cute! Then for he solo's! We got them all on video so you can see what happened! Hopefullly they will all be uploaded soon! She came over to us sooo many times! It was so exciting! During the encore almost all of them were crying! It was sooo sad! (We have video of this tooo!!!!) Chris and Gina ended up jumping off the stage and came around slapping peoples hands. When Gina got to my friend Jackie she was hysterically crying. Actually they both were. She hugged her forever and kept telling her that she was soo thankful for her and how Jackie was the reason she was there. It was so cute! When chris came by we stopped him and told him how Caitlin had broken her elbow that day and he went over to her and gave her the biggest KISS ever! Then like 2 seconds later he came back with after party passes for her! There were 7 of us and we already had 2 passes from Gina so then we had 4. Someone else ended up giving us 2 and the head of security let all 7 of us in!
Okay.. AFTERPARTY!
We waited in the section for sooo long waiting to go back. Nick Pedro (who was in the top 24 this season) was sitting in front of us and we talked to him for a whole. When we finnaly got to go down we got into the room and Jordin wasnt there. They told us that no one else was going to come in but then we heard Sanjaya's sister saying that they were all coming but they were taking a while in the dressing room! We saw Jordin walk in when we were talking to Haley and we got so excited! She had a HUGE line already so we went and talked with Chris Rich. We finnaly got to Jordin and got the BIGGEST hugs ever! She signed pics for us and then we took some new ones! My friend Cait was like you should take a funny pic. They are sooo funny looking! I wish I had them on my computer. My broken friend has them so I dont know when I'll get them. Then we took a regular picture. We told her how during "This Will Be" we were all crying and she got so sad! She told us how she got the other pages of our scrapbook from her grandmother and she thanked us for them. We also told her that we wished she sung Tattoo during the show because Blake sang his new song and she told us she was going to and then she didnt. I legit would of died if she did! She had a HUGE line behind us so we were going to go and then she was like wait I need to get a group picture of you and all your friends on my camera so we told her we would gather them all up and we would come back! We all went back to her and got some group pictures with her. We all started talking and her grandmother came back and was like I want a group picture of you all with Jordin and Jordin was like nana we already did one! So we got another on her grandmothers camera and then the one of the Jordin fans and her! We told her about how she helped bring our friendship together and how we were so thankful for her and she was like aww group hug! haha actually it was more like a huddle cause there were so many of us! Then we talked about tattoo and how everytime it comes onthe radio we all freak out and call eachother. then she saw that my friend jackie was videotaping all of this and she satrted talkign to the camera. I dont remember what she said but it was funny. We also told her that we were so sorry about her great grandmother and that we were praying for her. She told us that she was going to see her in the hoepital tomorrow and how she didnt want to see her in pain and it was okay because she knew that she was going to heaven after. I am completely going blank right now and I dont remember what else was said but we all got another group hug at some point. We have all of this on video too somewhere and hopefully it will be up really soon because I am dying to see it! It was so sad leaving but we told her we would come to all of her concerts in New England! Walking out of the room was seriously the saddest thing ever! I really wish we could rewind that day and play it all over again!
Jordin is the BEST and I cant wait till she goes out ontour with her own CD!!
