American Idols Live! 2008 – Grand Rapids, MI

*looks around* first? woot!

Mavid was a wheelbarrow. David was the “pusher”. Heh.

The backbend is back in Billie Jean! There better be video.

Cookie’s belt came off at some point, and he asked that the spotlight be turned off so that he could get his belt back on. Wardrobe malfunctions FTW!

DC/DA interaction at the end of PDSTM consisted of them pointing at each other and DA pointing at DC’s belly. Hmmm. Maybe something to do with the belt?

Belt? I’d say tummeh ftmfw!

Someone let us know how Archie was sounding… Article from Grand Rapids said he was still sick.. coughing while he was out side, and sneezing and sniffing during press.. :X I’m thinking allergies and lingering cough….? Though he cracked a note on wysylm in green bay..

Gosh. Archie still sick? Me worried.

Bets, he is willing to eat a fish soup that his grandma does now…maybe I can send him a little from here…well I hope he gets better, and I hope 19/AI/JIVE give him a break… please is not like it will be that bad for the kid to actually get a day of sleep and rest…GOSH

REALLY? ARCHIE WAS SICK? NEVER WOULD HAVE KNOWN.
I WENT TO THE SHOW, TRYING TO POST VIDS, PICS ARE BEING SLOWLY UPLOADED TO MYSPACE.COM/EQUATOR

Good photos, you don ´t have Archie in you friends (expect pm like poor Brooke, LOL)

How was the concert?

So… why were they all wearing Pop Tart shirts during PDSTM?

Except Cook, who got his Fruit Loop on.

LOL at Michael.

And Jason and Archie wearing jeans!

Either a laundry room disaster befell the PDSTM outfits or the Poptart powers that be forced them to wear the crappy Tees with a view to extracting a few more dollars from souvenir buying public. I am glad David Cook resisted the latest indignity. It is enough that he has to thank Poptarts ahad of the band.

Here’s my Mavid video.

And a picture of Michael recreating the wheelbarrow with a lucky fan at the After Party!

And here’s my backbend video. I was taking pictures during BJ but I switched to video mode as quickly as I could when I realized he was doing the backbend!

I have a ton of video I took from the concert. It’s going to take me awhile to get them all uploaded but you can check my YouTube page for updates.

Good to hear he’s sounding good lol and lol @ the poptarts thing lol

Ack cant edit my post….

From Grand Rapids, Archie hears the news that his fans made a team and have raised $14k(at the time, its now 19k) for Stand Up To Cancer. He looks like he may have gotten a little misty-eyed.

laundry room disaster

:lol_tb: LOL, They should have lost Archie ´s suit….

That was the reaction that I was specting he will have…

yes…. should of lost the grey suit….. Let him wear those jeans during his set!

Heh. He’s still shilling for the man. Kelloggs makes both pop tarts and fruit loops..

So Archie ´s allergies are back…

Allergies cold = yuck. lol But on the grand rapids vids he sounded awesome.

Looks like Michael was in one of his particularly hammy moods, LOL!

DC/DA interaction at the end of PDSTM consisted of them pointing at each other and DA pointing at DCà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s belly. Hmmm. Maybe something to do with the belt?

I thought Archie was pointing at the Fruit Loops shirt, lol.

I can’t believe they’ve only got a handful of shows left. That Tulsa one should be a fantastic show.

I’ve been in such a funk about the tour ending I’m very much considering Tulsa. That is if my husband doesn’t threaten me with divorce LOL.

LOL… who said that American Idol bring the families together…

I figured Cook would be exhausted from traveling but he sure didn’t perform like it!

I loved the chapstick video! He’s so funny! All the guys are.. I would like to be invisible and hang on their bus for a week.

The Mavid picture looks just nuts! LOLOL

D.C. looks so pale in that Mavid photo. He actually is a vampire, right? Hey, that’s okay with this Buffy/Spike/Angel fan.

Kelloggs makes both pop tarts and fruit loops..

And fruit loops are awesome! Haha, another magic rainbow reference there…? With all the cool vintage-ish Kelloggs T’s out there, I wonder why they couldn’t have given the top 10 cute graphic T’s instead of the boring Pop-Tarts shirt? At least it looks like they had fun cutting them up. Though KLC’s choice of fringe-ing the bottom on hers is… um questionable.

I actually will love to listen to the conversations that Jason and Archie have… those have to be hillararious… If they both do an Interiew together the poor reporter won ´t even know what they are talking about…

That is so sweet. It looks like he’s not really sure what to say…how do you thank someone for something like that?

I’m a little out of the loop since I haven’t seen the show but I’ve watched that Billie Jean video several times… what backbend? I dont get it.

Kristin and EmmaJK, thank you so much for the vid links!!! He. Is. So. Cute.!!
“Speaking of embarressments I think this is at the top of the list. ” LOL!!!

Lu, if you click on Kristen’s vid for BJ and go to the ‘Related Videos’ to the right and click on jbjdiva’s vid of BJ in Grand Rapids it should show the back bend better. I think Kristen turned on her vid while he was coming up from it.

Kristen, you’re awesome! I can’t wait to see your updated Mavid vid!!!:)

I’m slowly but surely getting my videos posted to YouTube. I took over 50 videos. I actually didn’t even think that was possible since there aren’t 50 songs but I had to stop and start some of the videos to take pictures. So I’m joining a few of them back together. I have 5 videos simultaneously uploading right now.

I’ll eventually get all my pictures and video up. I also need to start working on a recap. Thank goodness I’m home and have the day off work tomorrow.

Here’s more Cook banter.

Part 3: David throwing guitar pics, interacting with the drummer, doing math (lol), and filming the crowd.
