I had the best time last night at the American Idol concert and I had no doubt that I would. The things I expected to be great about it were great and the things that I wasn’t expecting to be great were such sweet surprises. It wasn’t as big as I thought it was going to be and that was nice, we were pretty far away but it was all relative because the place wasn’t massive, no arena or football stadium feel. It was intimate, as intimate as you can get with thousands of people. The performers were set really nicely, and I liked the way each singer got to showcase their style and their talent. All top ten performed and each of them sang 3 songs by themselves, with the exception of the top 4 singing 4 songs a piece.  For me, the highlights were Chikezie, Jason Castro, Brooke White and of course, David Cook, who looked as if he was a pro.  I think the reason why the former stood out for me was because they never sounded that good on the show.  They were phenomenal, and I would buy all of their albums right now.

Oh, and of course David Cook was singing to me at one point, not sure if anyone else knew that or not.

The best part about the night was that I got to spend it with Mike.  Any time I can spend a whole ten hours with him, holding his hand, laughing, enjoying life, being huggy and remembering that we do love spending time together is a success.  At one point in the night I leaned over and I said thank you for this and he leaned back and said that I deserved it.  That was the nicest thing next to “I do” that I have ever heard.  He’s a sweetie and those are the times I know that what we’re doing here together is the right thing to do.

Now, I just have to hold out until October, that’s only 90 days until David Cook releases his first album…
