Summary: (i forgot some of the show and i sat down for some people so there will be more details for some than others lol)
The show started about 45 minutes late (grrrrrr) but before that, ruben's mom was walking around a little bit and she was taking pics with people and signing autographs, and then a little bit later clay's mom came out, and it was insane!! everyone was screaming like clay was out there, and she was waving to everyone and stuff, and i think clay gave her a rose, awwww and she had red glowsticks on as earrings and a necklace...so then
Randy Jackson comes up on the screen and announces Charles. They show a bunch of clips of him from the show and then he comes out and sings I Do with dancers, and he dances a little too. Then he annouces Julia, cut to her clip, then she comes up from under the stage on a white couch and sings Beautiful. she announces "Hercules Hercules" Rickey and he comes out and sings. then he announces "the rocker of the group" Kimberly Caldwell, she comes out with the dancers and sings Stuck, she danced a little too. then she introduces "the baby of the group, the most innocent" yada yada yada, they show the Carmen clip and she comes out with dancers (i think, i sat down lol) and sings Up. then she talks about how she looks up to the next performer and they show the trenyce clip. then she comes out and sings Proud Mary, with 2 dancers. The dancing was kinda crazy but Teak told me it was the moves Tina Turner did in the song. she did the same version as on the show, starts off slow and gets fast and rock n roll-ish. then she introduces "the last standing girl" of the group, show Kim Locke's clip, she comes out and sings Band Of Gold(which was AWESOME!!she had a cute outfit on too lol) then she introduces one of her best friends..."he loves me and i love him too!" lol, so cute!! and show clay's clip!!.
BUT!! HIS MIC WASN'T WORKING!!!!and he was getting really nervous while he was singing, but he kept it together and kept singing, you could even hear him a little bit. and right before the bridge of TITN, stage hand brings him a new mic and he belts it out!! YAYY. (and when he was singing "i've been waiting forever for this" he was pointing to the mic, lol it was so cute)...then he says we already know who's next and he doesnt need an intro. the show ruben's clip and he sings Superstar and Never Too Much.

Intermission

Charles comes up from under the stage sitting at a little counter like something that would be in a 50's restaurant and starts singing Lady Is A Tramp. then Rickey appears and starts singing, and then Clay and so on. Then, the big oval-shaped screen in the middle splits open, and the girls appear. I couldn't tell which names they were saying but it was the beginning of Bootylicious where they say the names (i think i heard "clay, can you handle this??) and then they sang...then it turned into a singing-face-off between the girls and boys, both singing their songs.
then clay and ruben stay onstage and sing the girl is mine, they have their own little competition to see who more people love (i must say, clay DID win lol) and then they went up the stairs to the screen and hugged (awwww) and walked out.
then Kimberley came out and sang Inseperable...after, everyone came out and they did a Bee Gees medley and it WASN'T the same one from the show (it was better! lol) and ruben stayed out after it was over and did his new rap song (i really couldn't hear/understand what he was saying)
then he said "lets go crazy!!" and charles and rickey came out and sang Let's Go Crazy. then carmen came out and sang (charles and rickey stayed out there with her, kind of like her dancers) they did this cute little dance routine thing sitting on a bench and then rickey and charles kissed her on the cheek and the bench went under the stage.
clay came out and sang Can You Feel the Love Tonight, it was awesome!! and his mic actually worked this time!! then he annouced Kimberley and she came out from the screen and sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow (and the lights that were going around-up and over the stage were colored like a rainbow, it looked really cool) and she sang and then smoke came out and it went dark(i think) and then kimberly, carmen, and julia appeared on a motorcycle with helmets on. and then they sang Feel Good Time, it was really good (even though it was really only Kimberly's song, but it was perfect for her voice). julia went out (to change) and rickey came out and sang then julia came out and sang with him. then trenyce came out after they left and sang I Have Nothing. when she was done the other girls came out and sang i'm every woman. then kimberley stayed on stage and ruben appeared (out of nowhere!!lol) and they sang. then everyone came out and they sang "i've had the time of my life" and they had clips from throughout the whole show going, it was cute.
they went away and acted like the show was over (how original. lol)... and then clay came out wearing a Blackhawk's jersey!! he talked for a few minutes (i think this was when his mic wasn't on at first when he started talking but it went on thank god. and he had this 'oh god not again' look on his face lol) and he was saying how his video's gonna be shot here and how they toured our "beautiful city" today. then he sang his new song Invisible. it was so incredibly AWESOME!! and he was soooo cute doing little air guitars and jumping around. then Ruuuuuuuben came out and sang Flying Without Wings. clay and kimberley came out with "ru" lol and sang Imagine, it was awesome. then everyone else came out and they sang God Bless the USA. it was a cool ending (i'm easily amused), they had pretty fireworks and sparks coming from the ceiling and the dancers were waving flags, then they left (for good, lol).
