So one of the BIG perks of my Dad's job working for Kellogg's (besides all the cereal, fruit snacks, and Kashi products) is the fact that Pop Tarts sponsors the American Idol Tour! I went a few years ago (the year that Fantasia won) with a bunch of my girls friends and we had a great time...although I was WAY MORE EXCITED to go this year!! Torey, her friend Laura, and I all got to go and it was a blast! We started with the MEET AND GREET!!!! (And so you know, I took over 200 pictures at this...so I'm REALLY narrowing it down!!)
Waiting to go meet the American Idols!
We walked into the room and were told to wait for a minute...apparently a minute wasn't long enough because then this guy pushed me into the line and we went.
David Archuleta signing my sheet and Kristy Lee Cook signing Torey's.
Most of the idols were really nice when we met them. We weren't actually allowed to take pictures with them but we snuck some in!!
One of Torey' favorite pictures...we all LOVE David Cook!
There he is again...almost wearing the same hat as Brooke!
Probably our FAVORITE picture...although Torey wishes I wasn't in it!! Torey even asked Jason Castro if we were breaking the rules and he said yes but continued to stand up to take pictures with us! None of us really cared for him before but he was the nicest one when we met them all in person!
My 8x10 that we were able to get autographed! We headed to dinner after the meet and greet and then back to the E Center for the concert!!
Torey, Laura, and I in front of the stage before the show started....we had 10th row seats on the floor! And here's my pictures of some of my favorites...
Michael Johns!! He's wearing a shirt that said "I Voted For Archuleta." Of course that got lots of screams from Archie's hometown crowd!
Brooke White!! I totally voted for her and the Davids during the show! She was barefoot the whole time! She had taken Carly Smithson to Temple Square earlier in the day (Carly mentioned it when she sang).
She did two songs on the piano...this one was "Yellow" by Coldplay.
Jason Castro!! We loved him after meeting him...just not really his hair or songs!
David Archuleta!!! Definately the hometown favorite!
We ended up walking right up to the barriers in front of the stage during Jason Castro and had a great view when the Davids came out! Not the best picture but this helps you get the idea of how close we were!
ahh....David Cook!!!
Love him! Even more after hearing him in person!! I was wanting Archie to win originally but we all LOVED him MORE after the concert! Not quite sure about the belt buckle on the side but whatever floats his boat!
As you can see, WE HAD A GREAT TIME! It was so fun to see groups of senior citizen women screaming their heads off with the teeny bopper girls! Thanks for the tickets DAD!!
