Don’t care for the giant M & M’s thing, but loved hearing Casey and Mike again. They were my 2 favorites. I would not mind hearing the song at all again, especially with Casey’s exquisite guitar playing, <3. Btw, today St. Petersburg, FL, is doing a homecoming for Big Mike. The mayor and officials are supposed to give him a key to the city, and among other places, he will be going to his alma mater, Gibbs High School. Our local FOX affiliate, with the well-known Charley Belcher, is supposed to be covering it.

I thought the Disney Dog and Pony photo ops were bad… the big MnM leaves me speechless.

Wish Lee could sing more. He sounded great! Can’t wait to hear more from him. I guess I just have to make do with his homecoming videos in the meantime. I’m so glad he won!

Oh well. Some days things don’t work out exactly like they should, especially if the event is put on by a local radio station. I did giggle quite a bit, though. Lee and Crystal were cute. Mike and Casey were cute, too. The La-La-La-Las had me LMAO. So, at least they all got a free trip to NYC.

Lee & The Pips

Hilarious!

So, has anyone else noticed that Lee really never wants to leave a stage? He just wants to keep singing and playing his guitar. I love that.

I’d be surprised if they did it on the tour. My guess is we got two duets because that was the way to get the most Idols onstage in the least amount of time. No other reason.

I hope Mike and Casey do NOT do that song on tour. They do it well and it was nice the first few times I heard it but really guys, please not on the tour…

From an article about this concert:

at lunch they appeared in Herald Square outside Macy’s on 34th Street to launch the new pretzel M&M.

I guess I’m slow, but I just now figured out this was probably a paid endorsement like the Disney thing. D’oh!

I was there. After I figured out it was at 34th St and not 42nd St as I first thought. Okay here’s a quick recap.

I was about a block sitting comfortably in the pedestrian walk way on a nice sunny day. Quck impressions–Lee is really a sweet guy. He kept saying everything is amazing. Crystal also seems very sweet although a tougher cookie than Lee.

Falling Sofly sounded lovely but to be honest that kind of duet is something you hear in the subways. I think it’s the guitars that seal it. Mike and Casey did their thing and Mike seemed more at place in NYC which makes sense. Casey is an awesome guitar player and Mike has a terrrific voice but still seems cheesy. I hate the song they did however.

Lee did The Boxer including the line “the whores on 7th Avenue” which was pretty funny. Lee sounded quite good but I did hear abit of Off Key Lee. Idol has to get more recent songs for the contestants. They just have to. Overall it was a totally pleasant 20 minutes and the four of them just seem like total sweethearts.

Give Idol credit for making some dreams come true and if you can get a $20 ticket I recommend the S9 show. It should be way more mellow than S8 which to be honest was terrible until Matt showed up.

I didn’t even realize the stage was a giant M&M until just now.
What kind of safety issues? There was well behaved audience there and the vibe was extremely mellow. Please note I was already in the area and didn’t make any extra effort to see this show. If I’d made a special trip in to NYC, I might not be so nice especially if I was fan of the ones that didn’t sing at all.

I wonder if they are gonna re-use that giant orange M&M stage. Seems like a waste of a giant M&M (that opens up, no less!) for just one 12 minute concert. I vote for a Giant M&M summer concert series!

Following a few of the Idol’s tweets. Tim tweeted about $12 eggs and $6 orange juice (or is it the other way around). Siobhan tweeted last night about waiting for Lee to pick up a pizza…ended up eating M&Ms for supper. (Note to the Idols…during the tour, pizza delivery is your friend. And don’t even think about sending Lee to pick up pizza. Once the word spreads that he’s out, he’ll be fighting the crowds, and you’ll have to resort to M&Ms for supper.)

I see a possible future M&M commercial.

LMAO! The M&M opens up? WTH!? Looks like it was designed by the Celebrity Apprentice crowd, “we need a stage that can promote our product too.”

Best post #2 of the day:

MJ, hoping for a pointy pose when you already had Idols singing inside a giant M&M was just being greedy! How will they torture these poor kids next?

You know, I got to thinking. If Jimi Hendrix could open for The Monkees, these guys can play in a giant bean.

LOL of the day.

Ah, the Monkees. The original Boy Band.
