Sorry it's like the longest recap in the world...
And the pictures are large, but that makes it better =)
Me and
carolyndepp went to the Atlantic City show Friday night and we had meet and greet passes (thanks to Sarver!) It was a pretty epic night. Here's my recap with pictures: So we arrived in Atlantic City at around 10:30 (we came from around Philly). We were literally the first ones there. There weren't any barricades because the venue was so freaking weird, idek. But we were hanging around outside, on the boardwalk in front of the venue, waiting for anything to happen for like 2 hours. We met some crazy old Glambert lady who brought her 15 year old granddaughter and was trying to whore her out for backstage passes. Just wow.
Then we heard from someone that the buses pulled up around back so we went around to see what was going on, and on our way there we met
vienna_sausages aka Charlotte. So went around to the other side of the building and we were waiting there until like 1:30ish probably then some security guard came out and said "They're not coming out, everybody needs to leave or we're going to call the cops." Some people got freaked out and left but we realized he was bluffing so we stayed. We figured if they weren't coming out Sarver would tweet it. Then the security guard said "Go up to the boardwalk they'll come out to meet fans twice at 4 and 4:30, but he was once again lying because we knew that was the meet and greet that you had to have passes to go to it.
So at around 2:30 Carolyn, Charlotte and I decided to go up to the boardwalk just to check it out and see what was going on. We got up there and no one was up there so we went back down where everyone else was. It turns out a black car came through and some girl was like "that looks like Kris in there" but no one was paying attention. And her mom was like "yeah that kinda looks like Adam," (and he totally waved to her) but apparently they just ignored him and said nothing else. It turns out it was them. And they asked the security guard if they could get out and sign autographs for us, because there was literally only 30 people there all together. And the security guard was like "No we can't let you do that, there are no barricades up." WTAF SECURITY GUARD?!?! So we waited out there until about 4 and realized they weren't coming so we went back up to the boardwalk (after we ate dinner and got our gifts).
o the three of us are just kind of hanging out up there and I saw this really cute guy walking by (so I stared naturally) and I look next to him, and walking with him was DAVID FUCKING COOK. (IKR?) So I was like "OMG look it's David Cook!" and Charlotte was like "Well, let's go!" So he was walking by and I said his name and he turned around and I totally fangirled (how embarrassing!) I was like "OMG David Cook, I'm a huge fan! I love your music!" and he was like "Thank you very much!" then I kinda felt bad for drawing attention to him and I was like "I'm sorry I wasn't trying to make a scene" and he was like "It's okay." And I shook his hand. Then he just kinda walked away because I guess he was trying to go somewhere. But the three of us were freaking out for like 10 minutes. Hahaha. It was awesome.
So then Carolyn went to get the backstage passes.
And we were in line, and we had some gifts for the idols and the Security guard freaked out and was like "You can't bring in gifts blah blah blah" (UGGGHHH!) So went went and had to put them back. Then we went inside and sat down in our seats.
And literally 10 minutes before the show starts DAVID COOK walks in. Yup it was him, and he was still wearing this same outfit from GMA:
some creepy pictures.. anyway then it was
SHOW TIME!
Sarver: He sounded really good. My friend and I stood up when he came out (and we were literally the only ones) and we cheered really loudly. He didn't look that bad either. I didn't really think his second song fit his voice, but he still did great.
Megan Joy: She obviously looked GORGEOUS. She reminded me of barbie, but she still looked cute. She sounded pretty good. The songs she sang fit her voice very well. The crowd wasn't very engaged because she mostly just stood there, but she sounded good.
Scott: He sounded completely different than I expected. But he sounded a lot better than I thought he would. And his blind jokes were sooo funny. And he's a lot taller and skinnier than I thought.
Lil: Oh my gosh, she was so gorgeous. I like her with long hair better. She sounded awesome. And she awesome stage presence. I loved her!
Anoop: Damn. Just damn. He came out and I almost melted into a pool of goo. I'm not an Anoop stan, but DAMN. He sounded absolutely amazing and UNF he was hot. By far my favorite of the first half of the show. When he did My Perrogative I almost fell over.
Matt: He also sounded absolutely amazing he was right behind Anoop as my favorite for the first half. He was looking good to ;D My favorite part was when
vienna_sausages threw the bra on stage for him. And also SHE WAS ON THE SCREEN! I looked up and she was there and I was like "OMG SHE'S FAMOUS!" haha.
Group number: SOUNDED AMAZING. This was like my favorite part of like everything. Hahaha. My camera was being dumb so I only got one picture and it was of Anoop. But omg HE and everyone else sounded awesome. And they were lookin fine. I loved it!
For intermission we just sat there and we really wanted Come Back To Me to play on the screen because we're strange and wanted to see Cook's reaction it played and of course he was backstage then but everyone in the stadium still cheered very loudly when it came on so he probably heard... haha.
Allison: WOW. I knew she was going to be awesome, but she blew me away. She was absolutely amazing. I couldn't believe it, I think my jaw was dropped for her entire set. Just... wow. She was so fierce, and she was looking gorgeous too.
Gokester: Alright, so ngl, Danny sounded good. He's not my style, but he still sounded good (except for What Hurts The Most, I like that song, but idk I didn't like how he did it) He's little preachy thing wasn't that bad either. During one song he came over and smiled and waved to
carolyndepp she kind of got it on video but she freaked out because she loves him. Hahaha.
yeah, he has nice arms...
The HBIC himself: I don't even know if words can describe what was experienced during his set. Everybody was already screaming uncontrollably and were on their feet before he came out. He started singing and everything inside of me imploded. I could tell he sounded a little under the weather, but even so he was still other-worldly. I started recording just in time to get him jerking off the mic stand in WLL and he said baby and i was like OMG really loudly. Hahaha. He has several bras on stage during Slow Ride he picked up a pink one I think and he threw it at Allison and she jumped aside and tried to kick it and failed then she picked it up and threw it at him and he threw it into the audience. And his dancing during the Medley was just amazing. When he took his jacket off I thought the stadium was going to collapse. I think everyone who was there is still moaning in horny recovery.
stupid hand ruins the picture!
pointing at a bra. hahaha
Pocket Idol: Kristopher Neil Allen is literally the most adorable thing on this planet. He rose out of the stage and the stadium went crazy. Pretty much everyone was still standing during Heartless and he sounded amazing!! He started ATTTID and we were still standing, but a lot of people were sitting, we screamed so loud, and OMG he sounded AMAZING. Then he did Ain't No Sunshine we sat half way through because no one was standing and idk. But as soon as it ended we stood up and didn't sit until the concert was over. Bright Lights was absolutely amazing. The lower register... lsdkfjsdlkjgflsjd omg. THIS IS WHY KRIS ALLEN WON. He was absolutely amazing. Then Hey Jude, was awesome, everyone was standing up and waving glow sticks and cell phones. And when everyone came out there was some Kradam happening. I flailed. I didn't get a lot of pictures of him =[[[[[[ My camera was dying and we had M&G passes and I wanted to make sure we got pictures with everyone so I was saving the battery as much as I could.
Heartless
I was not intentionally trying to get a crotch shot...
Bright Lights <3
Hey Jude
DSB: My camera was almost dead and yeah I wanted to make sure that I had enough juice for our M&G pics so I only got to pics from DSB and no vid =[[ but
carolyndepp got the Kradam dance on video so I'll put that up when she uploads it. =]
Meet and Greet: After the show the segurity guard told us sit and wait in one of the sections, so we went and they let the red passes go first then like 20 minutes later probably they let us back. We went back and we walked in the room, and the first one I saw was Kris and I was like "Awww, he's so small!"
We walked in and looked around, and the first thing we noticed was no Adam.
It made me very sad face and we were wondering why he wasn't there but then later on we got his tweet about not feeling well, so I hope he gets better!
So we went around and got everyone's signature and got pictures with everyone.
Allison: She's adorable and a lot shorter than I thought. I mean I knew she was short but not that short, so I kind of leaned down to get the picture. lol (I look gross in like every picture because it was hot and there was a lot of people. ew body heat)
Next we went to Megan, she was so freaking adorable. I mean she is really good looking. Haha. And she had on a shirt that said "Anoop Is My Boyfriend" with like 5 hearts underneath. (Meganoop- I believe)
Then we saw Lil, she is so pretty. I like her with longer hair a lot better than with short hair! And she was so nice! I told her she did amazing and she said thanks. She signed my tour book (her signature is amazingly beautiful) and I got a picture!
Next was Anoop, oh my GOD he is really hot, like really incredibly good looking. He was a little quiet, but he was really nice, he signed our tour books and we got pictures with him.
Then we went to Sarver. Carolyn went up to him and was like "Hi, I'm Carolyn Webster!" and he was like "Oh Hi!" he recognized her immidately. We thanked him so much and told him how awesome he was (he was really good) and we gave him hugs, he signed our book and we got pictures. He was really nice.
idky I'm so awkward in this picture oh god
OMG so then we went over to Matt. I was so excited because I though he was amazing, and I've been like falling in love with him a lot during the summer. So we get there and he's talking to some young girls, and she's wearing a fedora so she was a fan of his. We literally stood there for 5 minutes while he talked to these girls. There was no one else around him. We got scorned by Matt how ironic. So finally he signs our books while hes still talking to them and he signs mine and is like "Woah, that's a huge signature" idek. but we got picture with him and we were like. Wow, now we know how he feels around Kradam....
So Carolyn was freaking out and really wanted to see Gokey next, so we went to him. We got there and Sarver walks over and gives him a pouty face and is like "Can I have you're signature?" and Gokey was like "Who are you?" OMG BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE. They were messing around and laughing but it was so funny. So Carolyn told him how much she loved him and he was like aw thanks and she asked for a hug and he was like "Of course hun" or something. So he signed our stuff and we got pictures. And I was trying to be nice so I was like "I like your glasses" ...what a weird thing to say. lmao but he said thanks.
AND THEN WE WENT TO MR AMERICAN IDOL HIMSELF. OH MY GOD Let me just say he is A LOT CUTER in person, and he is LITERALLY the most adorable thing in this entire universe. I showed him my Kradam post I made and he looked at it for like a minute and was like "I really like this" then he was like "Wow, there's a lot of pictures of me and Adam together" hahaha. So I went to get my picture with him and I was like "Oh man I'm really tall" and he was like "It's okay I'm really short, it works" OMFG I LOVE HIM FOREVER.
He looks so adorable leaning up in this picture. He looks like a turtle!
So last we went to Scott, and he was SO TALL. I didn't know he was that tall. So Todd was like "Alright there's 2 to sign" So he handed him one and he signed it, and I was going to get a picture with him before carolyn got hers signed. But he was reaching for the other book and I was trying to get a picture, (it was adorable) and I was like "can I get a picture with you?" and he was like "oh, yeah!" hahah so i went to put my arm around him and usually I put my arm on top because I'm taller than like everyone, but he put his arm on top, and I was like trying to put my arm down, it was a little awkward, but definitely lol worthy.
And yeah that's everything.
Sorry this is really long, but it was an intense day.
