i just got back from the american idol concert - i went with dennis, denise, and romalyn. we went into it knowing that we were going to scream and cheer shamelessly - and it was so much fun! it was fun making commentary throughout. each time one of the idols was done singing, they emphasized how tonight is the last show of their concert tour - and haha...romalyn whispered, "it's the last one for jim...ever." we poked a little bit of fun. i think the one thing that made the whole entire concert worth it was that one of the guys who auditioned [but didn't make it] was there! ok...who remembers the guy who was a bit on the feminine side, who sang [well...more like spoke] christina aguilera's genie in a bottle? the guy that said to the judges, "mold me..." remember? and simon told him, "this is a pen, not a magic wand." yea...that guy! he was there...it was crazy...other people recognized him too and he actually had a bit of a fan club...mostly girls under the age of 12. we relived that whole audition when we saw him.

anyway...naturally, kelly, tamyra, and justin were amazing! the rest of the top 10 did their thing and it was fun. one of the highlights was when the 5 guys busted out with their rendition of 'n sync's "pop" and the 5 girls with en vogue's "free your mind" - way fun. it looked like they were having fun together and at the end, there were tears since this was probably the last night they'll be performing together...and for some of them, it just might actually be their last public performance. it was fun to be a teenybopper again! it reminded me of 'n sync concerts past... :)

oh...and i caved in a bought a "justin" button. i was going for all three [kelly, tamyra, and justin] but they were sold out for the other two. bummer.
