My view of Opening Night - Glendale, AZ 07/01/2008

The concert was absolutely amazing!

All of the idols were in great voice and looked like they were having fun.

The place was really loud and had a diverse group of people (in age) which was great.

This is definitely the most talented Top 10 ever! They all got to do their own individual style of songs which was awesome! The crowd really cheered for Brooke White (She is from AZ, and she deserved it). She was amazing...Carly Smithson and Michael Johns also performed really well and are natural performers...I plan on buying their albums as well...Kristy Lee Cook, who was not one of my favorites, was really, really good and I love her rendition of "God Bless the USA". She was also a great performer...very sassy...

The Davids of course, were the best part of the show ...

The screams were extremely loud when Syesha started to introduce David A...I think I am still deaf from the young girl behind me...he performed very well...even though I voted for Cook, I do appreciate what an amazing talent David A is...he is going to have a long career if he works hard at it...

Then David Cook came on and the screams were even louder, partially because I was including my own...He rocked it out and I CAN"T WAIT for him to be on tour doing his own songs...he is a true performer...his voice is like none I have ever heard...it sent chills down my spine...

If you read any articles criticizing the show or the performers, please don't listen...judge for yourself and go... because if you are a true fan of American Idol then you will enjoy the amazing talent of these emerging artists...

I read an article that said David Cook was cocky on stage, which was absolutely ridiculous...he is confident and there is a difference...he performed like he has been in front of a crowd his entire life...he really got the crowd pumped up and then he announced the good news about his brother and the crowd got even louder...

I really hope all his fans keep supporting him, going to the tour concert, buying his album(s) because I know I will be...I will never forget the first time I saw him live, as I know it won't be my last!
