One more DC recap, from Amy…
I attended the DC concert and I had a blast !!! We arrived outside the Verizon Center and a crowd was waiting to meet the Idols. They all (except for Chikezie) came out around 2:15 pm and we got autographs and pictures from most of them. We even witnessed the Mavid dance off and took pictures of it. My favorites are Michael, Carly & David Cook, so I got autographs and pictures of them (and even got a “Marly” picture of Michael and Carly). All of the Idols were great with the fans.
On to the show :
More Recap after the JUMP…
I can’t remember every song that each one Idol sang, so I’ll comment on each performer and list their best song
Chikezie – he was a great opener and got the crowd going right away. He sounded really good and looked like he was having lots of fun on stage. His best song was the first one (I can’t remember the name)
Ramiele – she was so cute and tiny and I liked her outfit. She sounded better than all the earlier reviews said and I loved the upbeat Jackson 5 song that she did.
Michael – He rocked it out last night. The crowd really got going when he came on and I loved all of his songs!!! He sounded so good and looked gorgeous too. His best song was Dream On, but I loved all three of them. He was such a trip outside earlier talking with the fans, and he sang and danced for us, and I loved hearing his sexy accent.
Kristy Lee – I was not a big fan of hers on the show, but she looked pretty and sounded better than I expected. She did really well on God Bless the USA and everyone loved that song.
Carly – She’s my favorite of the girls (and one of my top 3), so I loved all of her songs. I also thought her outfit was very cool (esp. the tall boots). She sounded amazing on Bring Me to Life and Crazy on You and she had such great stage presence. She thanked everyone for supporting the Idols and sounded like she got choked up talking about it (which I thought was very nice).
Brooke – I was never a big Brooke fan, but she’s so nice that you have to like her. Her set was really cheery and upbeat and I loved it when she sang Let it Be while playing the piano.
I loved the Idols Gives Back song with the top 6, especially the “Marly” moment at the top of the stage (I just love when the sing duets together).
Jason – I was never a big Jason fan on the show, but his set was fun to watch (especially when he played the ukilelie-sp??). He has very pretty eyes and the girls loved him. His best song was Over the Rainbow.
Syesha – I liked her on the show and she sounded amazing last night. She also looked very pretty and seemed so happy to be on stage. She sang her butt off on Listen and got a standing ovation from the crowd.
David A. – He sang very well. All of his songs were slow, which was a little boring to me (sorry-I like the rockers better), but he did sound really good. His best song was Stand By Me and I liked the Beautiful Girls part that he added to it. By the way-the screams were deafening when he came out.
David C. – He rocked it out last night !! He looked so good in the suit and he was great with the crowd. I liked all of his songs, esp. Billy Jean and Hello (I’m a fan of 80’s music). I have read other reviews that said he looked smug, but he was the exact opposite last night. He was so good talking to the fans outside before and during the show (he even stayed the longest outside in hot weather with a suit on).
Final Group Song – I loved seeing all of them together again and the Mavid dance was really cute. The show seemed to go by so fast, so it was great to see them again for one last song.
Overall the show and meeting them outside before was one of the neatest and most exciting things I have ever done. I recommend that everyone who is thinking about going does so. It was awesome !!!
