     Have a good time MJ, I’m really looking forward to your recap.

    I hope you are loving it mj! I had a blast in Nashville. I thought it was really well-paced, and all the idols got lots of stage time.

    I have a friend there tonight who’s been a big AI fan for years, didnt really care for this years crop, but mainly went because her daughter is a big Colton fan. She texted me during Joshua Flippin’ Ledet’s Its a Mans World FREAKING THE HELL OUT LOL Not gonna lie, based on everything I’m reading about this performance live I’m actually afraid how I’m going to handle this at my show. I may turn into a spastic 12 year old heh.

    I just got back from the show. It was killer! Phillip is even cuter in person, and Jessica is irresistible. Joshua and Skylar brought such energy to the arena. I spazzed out during “Whole Lotta Love” and “Never Gone.” I wouldn’t have sat down at all, but my dad made me because he said I was blocking other people’s view. But he couldn’t keep me down during “Master Blaster,” “Party Rock Anthem” or “Raise Your Glass/Glad You Came!” So much fun.

    So cool that you’re there, MJ!  Do they know that you’re a VIP?  Having one of the most popular American Idol blogs should give you the chance to meet the Idols!

    Waiting for your recap MJ, though are you going tomorrow too?

    Sounds like Hollie said Joshua twisted his ankle tonight.  Hope it’s not too serious.  Not sure what they would do about something like Proud Mary if he’s hurting.  He does a lot of moving around during the show.

    I’m back! That was a lot of fun.  I got some videos, but it was tough. Security was lax about keeping the aisles clear. There were people standing all around. But I did get some.

     Joshua was limping during the last group number–but he and Hollie were laughing. They’re so cute together.

    Yes, I’m going tomorrow night, and maybe next Sunday too. :).

    It’s a man’s world gets better & better everytime he sings it.
    Joshua Ledet you are the most outstanding preformer on S11.
    Cannot wait until your album come out.

    MJ! Thanks for the videos. The quality is fantastic especially the sound. It’s one of the best I’ve heard. :). Love Joshua’s Man’s World. Volcano has been growing a lot on me. It’s now my fav of Philips. Have a blast tomorrow and next Sunday!

    I just watched HOME.    Phillip and the guys did a great job!   I have to say this has to be the best coronation single out there.

    I thought Phillip did really well.   I haven’t watched any of the other videos from the earlier shows but do people think Phillip has improved?   I would think there would be notible improvement due to P2 getting his health back.    Nice job.   I am probably going to buy the single now.

    I haven’t seen the show live and I don’t know if P2 has improved, though I would generally think just being in better health has to have improved his performance ability, but I will say I don’t think Colton and DeAndre get enough credit for the harmonies they are bringing on Home.  I don’t mean to take anything away from Phil because it’s obviously his song, but I think the other two are adding even more layers to the song.  Then again, I suppose that could be a commentary on all the background singing going on on tour.  They are all doing a great job.

    Thanks for the videos MJ.  The sound is great.  I really love Elise’s “Rumor Has It” performance.

     I agree – Home is the golden goose of all coronation singles. Or should I say platinum goose?

    Oh Mantasia – raaaaaaaawr   – love me some Mantasia. I can’t wait to go see him at his own show. He drips “it” whatever it is!

    Colton and Deandre do an excellent job on the harmonies on “Home”.

    These are all great videos, MJ! Thanks!

     Sure. If you have anything, I’ll add it to the post!

    Great to see the Home video being played in background while Phillip is singing.  The song is now up for voting on VH1′s Top 20.
