AHH KELLY CLARKSON!
So, last night was my Kelly concert!! Well holy heck it was amazing...of course!! I ♥ Kelly!! I got pics and vids...but they aren't the greatest :(
None of my pics came out really good..and the audio on my vids suck ass. :(
Ok, so I got up at 9am and got all around and everything! At 10am we all met here, then went to walmart where we got some food, water, gatorade, ice, and a marker thing to write on the windows of my car with. I wrote "HONK IF U <3 KELLY CLARKSON" on my back windshield. It was hott!
Anywho...it was about 11am when we left Wally! Before we even got to Geneva, which is like 45 mins away, my check engine light came on. Well, I realized I was due for an oil change, so we pulled over and D and Spamo checked my oil (cause I didn't know how...lmao don't laugh!) It was really low, so I bought some and we put it in...but my light never went out.
While driving thru Geneva we went thru the ghetto, haha. We were like, "Ok, we've got a car full of white girls, all wearing Kelly tshirts, with "HONK IF U <3 KELLY CLARKSON" on the back window, with Kelly music blaring...We're gonna get our asses kicked" lmao!
We got on the thruway in Geneva, and rode that to the Six Flags Darien Lake exit. Then we just went down the road a ways until we got there! Yay for us not getting lost!! I did go through 2 red lights though...not on purpose! I just wasn't paying attention I guess. But I did look to make sure no one was coming, them went. And then everyone in the car would laugh and say "you just went through a red light!" and i'd be like "damnit!" lmaooo
Anywho...we got to the park at about 1pm. We didn't have to pay for parking, cause we were there for the concert! w00t the lady at the gate was like "well, I bet you guys are here for the concert because of your shirts!" lol we were all wearing out Kelly tour shirts from last year!
So, we parked then upgraded to tickets to get into the park. We rode all the rollercoasters...lol!! I <3 rollercoasters. Then, we rode a few other rides too!!
I SWEAR EVERYONE IN THE PARK ASKED US WHERE WE GOT OUR SHIRTS FROM. I'm dead serious. At first it was ok, and we were just like "we got them on her last tour last year." But, it got to the point where we couldn't walk from one ride to the next without like 10 people asking us. Obviously there weren't many die hard Kelly fans there...because our shirts said "HAZEL EYES TOUR" on them pretty big, and this was obviously the Addicted Tour. They also say 2005 on them...apparently people don't know what year it is! lmao. It got annoying after a while!
At like 4:30 we saw a lil performing show called "Totally Pop" where these people danced and sang popular pop songs from now and then. Lmao the one girl goes "How many of y'all are going to the concert tonight??!! and everyone like sceams, then the girl starts singing "Miss Independent." Haha, well, she butchered it. lmao!
A little before 6, we headed over to the gates to get into the Performing Arts Center. Well, it freaking DOWNPOURED. We got soaked. It sucked so bad. Everyone was chanting "LET US IN! LET US IN!" but nooo. I guess they had technical problems, so they couldn't let us in at 6. Anywho...the rain FINALLY stopped...and THEN this guy comes up to the gate and throws us all ponchos. Lovely of them to wait til after we were all soaked and it stopped raining to do so. Thanks for that pals!
They finally let us...and we headed for the merchandise table (along with the rest of the world that was there lmao). I bought the light blue shirt seen here:
I wanted the one to the right of the light blue one..the splotchy one...but they didn't have any smalls. Only large and XL. Poo.
I also bought this shirt:
and 2 of this poster: (one is for you deedee!)
and I bought a tourbook! I took pics of each page! It's hot! Sorry there are a lot!

inside:
^I love how it has the lyrics to "Maybe", because that's my fave new Kelly song :)

So, after we got our merchandise we went in the bathroom and changed into our new shirts..since the ones we were wearing were soaked. Then, we found our seats...which were actually better than I thought they would be!! We had good seats, but we weren't as close as we were last time though.
Anywho...we got in our seats and got set, then I looked at my phone and realized it was 7pm and freaked out, because I was supposed to meet a girl from the Express at 6:30pm to give her the Buffalo CD to give to Kelly. So, I ran out to the merch table where I was supposed to meet her and waited for a half hour. I couldn't find her. She told me what she would be wearing, how old she was, and who she would be with. But, I didn't see anyone that really fit the description. No one was wearing a white tank top. But, it had poored, so who knows, she could have changed her clothes or something. But, anywho...there were so many people there that at that point, I had no choice at finding her. So, I had no choice but to give up :(
I felt so bad...cause I was in charge of getting that cd to Kelly...and she didn't get it. But, there really was nothing I could do at that point. So, I went back to my seat and waited for the concert to start. It started late! Rooney was the opening band...they were good!! I recognized one of their songs...I've def. heard it before. But, I had no idea who they were!
Kelly came on a little after 9. I LOVED how she did "Addicted" and "Beautiful Disaster!" Amazing. The whole concert was amazing. I did a ton of voice posts...which, if you've listened, you can tell came out realllly shitty. I was so sad when I came home and listened :(
Kelly sang the full setlist for our show...so we were lucky!! She didn't sing I Hate Myself For Losing You, but she cut that one, so she won't be singing it anymore on this tour. I love the new songs. Maybe is def. my fave. I love it.
The show opened with "You Shook Me All Night Long" playing. Once that was over, you could see a shadow of someone playing voilin behind a curtain. Then, you saw Kelly's shadow of her standing sideways with her hand on her hip with one leg forward. Then she sang "It's like I can't breathe" and they ripped the curtains down. She sounded so good. Right on. Amazing.
Here are the songs she sang:
-Addicted
-Behind These Hazel Eyes
-Maybe
-Gone
-Anymore
-Because of You
-Shelter
-Thankful
-Home
-Miss Independent
-Go
-Beautiful Disaster
-Hear Me
-Yeah
-Walk Away
Encore:
-Breakaway
-Since U Been Gone
She sang for 85 Minutes and she was very chatty! She said our crowd was really loud! the place was packed! lol, at one point during the show, she was dodging bugs that were flying around her head. And she smacked herself in the face and she was like "you probably didn't see it, but there was a bug right there!" lol shes a funny one. Then, during mid conversation, she's like "omg look at the moon!" and she points to it. Then she's like "sorry, i have ADD" lmao.
I'm thinking i'm going to post the concert pics in another post...because this one is extremely long and i'm not even done yet! lol
Anywho...Kelly sang "Shelter," the song she sang for the ReAct Now concert on MTV to benefit Hurricane Katrina. She had a backdrop that was like a forest. It was really pretty!
"Home" was a cover she sang...awesome. I loved it!
And "Maybe" is amazing. It's just awesome. I seriously can't wait til next year for this new cd.
lol Kelly had a jacket on for the first 2 songs....I think she was crazy for wearing it! Kelly...its July! lmao well anywho, when she took it off, people said they literally saw steam coming off her cause she was sweating so much. lol!! Like seriously, there was steam coming off her!
For Breakaway, she went out into the audience and sang. She was like back in the sections by the lawn, so we turned around and stood on our chairs to see her. Haha then when she was done singing Breakaway, She went into Since U Been Gone and walked back up onto stage...but sadly she walked down the side of my section that I wasn't on. I was right on the aisle seat on the other side too. poo.
Anywho...overall, the show was amazing!! I forgot my camera sucks in the dark though..and well, Kelly was on when it was dark out. So, I didn't get like any good pics :(
and the sound quality on my videos is terrible from the music being so loud and from so many people screaming.
When we came out, her tourbus was right there, so I got my pic next to it! hehe
It took us an hour to get out of the parking lot. It was crazy. My mom wanted me to get some antifreeze incase my car overheated since the check engine light was still on, so we stopped and got that. Then, we got on the thruway and we went towards Buffalo...we were supposed to go towards Albany. Lol, so I had to pull a U-turn. hahaa
I was pretty tired once we got close to home!! We didn't get home til 3am! and I stayed up til 5am talking to people online and uploading some of my videos to youtube!
Ok, that's about it! I love going to Kelly concerts!! I wish I could go to another one! She's amazing! ♥
k, I'm going to post this part for now since its so long. I'll post the pictures and videos when I get them all sorted out and uploaded! :)
