Tour Of The Idols

So on 8-8-08 I had big plans .... The American Idol Tour concert. Now I posted earlier about my love for all things Jason Castro. However this really is the first year that I have ever gone to the Idol tour. Something about the contestants this season made me verging on obsession. I went to the concert with my Dad's wife and her sister. I was excited to see Jason (and David Archuleta) and they were excited to see both Davids (mostly Cook). As you can see you it made for an interesting evening.

We started off by eating at Trumbell Kitchen. My dish was very yummy. I had mongolian pork chops ... so delicious. This was just a block away from the XL center that we would be seeing the show at. The show was 3 hours long including intermission. But with ten idols perfoming it had to be. The idols performed in the order of how they were voted off beggining with number 10. has was the first to play after intemission and boy was it worth the wait. Our seats were about 25 rows back on the floor right in the aisle. It was kind of a pain when people started standing up, but right on the aisle it wasn't much of a problem. To be honest with you I didn't really even listen to Jasons performance, I just stared at his face in my binoculars so I could see his face super close up (Pathetic I KNOW). Thank goodness for YOUTUBE because another fellow Castro fan caught the whole performace on tape and posted that sucker on youtube the very next day.

David Archuleta was AMAZING! He sounded just like he did on the show. I just love the voice on that kid. I hope that he has a long lasting sustainable carrer. All I will say about David Cook is its a good thing that a lot of people like him and can see past his smug persona. He took the stage like he was a member of a reputable rock band that has been around for years. He stood there on the stage after a song and didn't say a word. It was an awkward silence and girls just screamed. He started makng jesters with his hands and wanted the crowd to chant his name
once they finally did he goes OK OK. Needless to say I was NOT impressed. All in all I did have a great time Once the ringing in my ears stoped from all the screams. ( I almost forgot what it was like to go to a mostly teen girl concert) Posted below are the wonderful performances from Jason Castro.
