Tulsa, OK AI Live! Show - Lisa’s M&G Report - Part 2
Expanded M&G recap from Lisa!First let me say I was not excited about going to the concert by the time it rolled around. I had too many things on my plate this summer & was just not looking forward to it at all. I worked up until 3am on Friday night then tried to catch a couple of hours of sleep. By 6am I was up and showering and still not excited to go. Gwen thanks for being excited for me, heh, it helped! Hubby said no way no how was he going to the concert & to my surprise my best friend b

Here’s Lisa’s full re-cap of the Tulsa, OK concert Ever wonder what a ray of sunshine is? It’s a friend waiting for you at the bottom of the BOK steps ready to take you away from humidity hell! On our way back to Cass’s we were going to stop for food & a Dr Pepper! A gloriously cold Dr Pepper! Ahhh. First place was closed. WTH. Second place was closed. WTH times two. Third place was a charm. I grabbed a couple of authentic tacos and that nice big Dr Pepper! It’s on to

Fort Wayne, IN AI Live! Show - Grahamy’s Recap
Grahamy not only had front row seats, but he met the Idols by the buses after the show… Read his recap below. I have to be honest, I rarely go to concerts, but last night was the BOMB. Before, I get into it, lets back up to the search for a friend that I could bring. As a birthday present, I was gonna bring my friend Brittney, and she lives about 4 hrs away from me so she said from the start that she wasn’t sure if she could go. Monday night, she told me that she couldn’t go, so Tuesday m

Fort Wayne, IN AI Live! Show - Shari’s Recap
Fort Wayne is Shari’s 4th show. Read about her adventures and the lessons learned in her thoughtful re-cap below… I was able to go to the concert in Ft. Wayne last night and just wanted to add my impressions to those of Grahamy. But first I hope you will indulge me in a little back ground. Last night I was a disappointed David Cook fan. I love the guy, don’t get me wrong, but this is my fourth concert and the fourth time he did not come out to meet the fans before the show. I’m

OK, “Please Don’t Stop the Music” involved wigs, crazy dancing, stuffed rabbits and a very messy mavid toast. Much hilarity and hijinks ensued!

Minneapolis, MN AI Live! Show - Purple Rain’s Re-cap
The ballad of Purple Rain and The Kid…read the saga below! 12 hours of Idol - Purple Rain’s Concert Recap Okay, this review will seem as long as my 12 Hours of Idol from the concert on 8/31. On Sunday I earned The Coolest Person award (and a special place in heaven.) I volunteered to take a co-worker’s 11-year old daughter (referred to as The Kid) to the American Idol concert in Minneapolis, MN. She was going to be my Beard (my cover-up for going to the concert.) As a first time Idol watcher (a

Kristy Lee Cook Finally Voted Off ‘American Idol’
The American Idol contestants come out tonight to open the show by singing Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s hit ‘One Sweet Day’. They did a great job with the song and likely made Mariah very happy. Former finalist Elliot Yamin sang ‘Free’ and souled it out. I wish all these jokers would give up wearing scarfs inside in the spring time. It reminds me of when they record a Christmas special in September that is going to air on Christmas day and everyone is wearing winter clothes and scarves so it

David Cook - Providence, RI - VIDEOS
I got everything last night. His entire set. And it was a good one. He was very energized by the enthusiastic crowd, and I think you’ll see some things here that are new. Lots of stuff like the bunny someone gave him during “Don’t Want To Miss a Thing”. The clown wig and funny glasses right before “My Hero”–Cookie also thanked fans for donating to Stand Up to Cancer. The back bend in “Billie Jean”–at the end he jumped off the stage right in

The Idols Blog - David Archuleta and Brooke White Blog
The Season 7 Idols have finished touring and settle into life after Idol. For Brooke White, it means heading back to her family in California. Well it was two weeks ago today that I was sitting on an airplane that departed from Tulsa, Oklahoma, anxiously looking out of the window as we flew over Laurel Canyon just moments before landing in Burbank, California. As we touched down on the runway I could hardly believe it was true. Could I really be home?!? I walked down the steps from the plane into the warm
