Then KAT came on and I never really liked her on the show either.But she difinatley proved she diserved to make it in the top 2 last night.I thought she sounded amazing.I couldn't even tell she was ever sick!I loved BH in a CT..but SOTR was soooooooo amazing.She won my vote last night [Smile] lol.She looked beautiful too!She seems very friendly and cheerful.Another new KAT fan [Smile] She told us it was so beautiful out here in Florida and not to tell our california friends.haha..that's ok cause I don't have any.Overall, Katherine has a beautiful voice and she rocks my socks.During her performance it was so funny b/c I turned to my mom and at the exact same time we both said "She's amazing!That was so good!OH MY GOD!" haha..we were cracking up!!!!!!LOLOL!Everytime Katherine had pauses in the song the screams grew louder and louder!it was funny...

This also has Kat speaking with the fans and a wonderful SOTR!

Greensboro

Glad to see you on this thread minnie! We'd really like you to help us out on this project!


Ok, JenniexAI who's recap we use in the Greensboro page posted a picture of kat signing her poster (which she vividly descrives in the recap.

The pic is too big to use in it's current form but if it's cropped it'd be fine. If we could put it in the body of her recap text that'd be great! The more related photos in the recap text the better.

Kenneth, it's my pleasure to work with you and Phee;he e-mailed me about this really exciting project.

I'll present things for your review like the above from Kmac; it's not really 5 star, but it's posted by a KMF member and well, you guys decide. I'm happy just to be a gopher and to bring lots of joy to Kat and her family.

Minnie 

Minnie thanks for passing that along. Phee actually already posted that on the richmond page for katsconcerts.com

Kenneth, woweeeee, I just only looked at the phantabulous concert site which Phee put up with all of Kat's elves working pheverishly 24/7....I did not know you have this all(vids, recaps) up to date! 

O my goodness, I finally get it. We are to submit here, vids, recaps, etc for inclusion for each concert?

And I just noticed Czar_ilya, the 17yr old wunderkind is working on the vids. We are sooooo lucky to have her here.

Bravo to all of you who have established a gift to Kat, her family and friends and her fans to enjoy forever!

Now, I must get back to my search.

Minnie

Also be sure to put the tour city on top of your post. thanks for your help on this!!!

TAMPA CONCERT

Recap by ainsleycat of katharinefans.com


Just came home from the Tampa show.  What a blast!

Kat did a truly great job - still just 2 songs, but man does she work that stage (cast and all).  She got the first standing ovation of the evening. 

The folks that did the best (in my opinion)..... Mandisa, Ace, Lisa, & Kat.

Kat came out and did a super job with BHACT.  She worked that stage - cast and all.  She looked amazing in her black gown.  Simply gorgeous.  Then, she talked for a minute and sang OTR.  The arena has a lot of reverb in it, and really showed off her artistry yet simplicity of the vocal. 

The finale was fun - and Kat did perform it (even a very short vocal).  Mandisa and Paris took turns helping her around all the steps and ramps.  It was really neat to see the whole cast working together. 

But do you want to use these????  The first one is one of those very rare bad kat pix, the second one is only passable. I can't believe there aren't more pix from this concert?

Tempa FL - by akamissa at KMF.

Then Katharine’s two, three, four brought everyone to their feet as she emerged from the top of the stage.  Everyone was in awe, including myself at her voice and her beauty.  After BHCT she mentioned that she would only do two songs and told us about her fractured foot.  She then sang SOTR and I couldn’t help myself from screaming out her name and yelling “The Kat Pack is Here!”  She looked in my direction and smiled that beautiful smile of hers.  After the song she got another standing ovation and what an unbelievable feeling it was to be part of this. 

Katharine’s voice was so clear, so perfect.  I’ve never heard a person sing like our Katharine and actually hear every single word.  I still have goose bumps!  She is stunning, more so in the flesh and she (from what the fans with back stage passes said) is such a sweetheart.  I also met the people that cater food to the Idols while they’re on tour and they said that Katharine is such a nice girl.

After the show, we stuck around a bit and there was this little girl crying because she didn’t get to meet Katharine.  It turned out that this little girl was the daughter of Katharine’s vocal coach when she studied here in Tampa.  Her mom told the security people (who were very tight) that it was her daughter’s birthday.  A little while afterwards, one of the security personnel came back and said that Katharine had requested her to come back stage.  The look on this little girl’s face was priceless.  After the meeting, I talked to her and her mom and took some pictures of this lovely little girl named Faith.  This is what it’s all about.  Katharine is a role model for all the little girls out there….and even us older folks who simply adore her.
I’M SO PROUD OF OUR GIRL! Marisa

Phee just keep the login extremely, extremely simple so a five year old can execute it. not case sensitive if possible and something like "family."

something like "concerts" they might forget and think is "concert" or something.

The second one where kat is making that face look clear. 

Yes, please edit recaps down to take out the stuff about other idols.

What a long day yesterday was.  I think I arrived at the St. Pete Times Forum at around 12:00. I waited, waited, and waited to hear about meet and greet passes or after party passes, but apparantly you had to be on Piesha's list to get in. I didn't get a chance to meet Katharine at either one of those. The concert was amazing. As soon as we heard the American Idol theme song we started screaming and clapping like crazy.  Oh my goodness when I heard that 2, 3, 4 I started jumping up and screaming really loud. I couldn't see Katharine at first, but she was really great. After she sang Black Horse and the Cherry Tree she made a speech about how she still could only do two songs because she's still in recovery, and about how she fractured her foot, and she lifted up her foot so we could see her cast. She said that she wasn't crying; it was just her make-up, but I think she did get a little teary-eyed. I was screaming We Love You Katharine throughout her entire performance.  I think everyone was just in awe over her next and last song Somewhere Over the Rainbow.  It was so exciting to see her perform live.      Both Katharine and Taylor got standing ovations after they performed.  .  Then the big finale was Living in America, with Katharine and Taylor. Katharine and Taylor were up on the ramp, and I thought it was cute how Taylor had his arms up and was dancing over to Katharine.  But Katharine didn't have any interest in dancing with Taylor at this concert. She looked like her foot was bothering her because she didn't do much of anything in Living in America. She was probably in pain; she's amazing at what she does. She never gives up; I hope nothing else happens to her on this tour. lol.  Mandisa helped her walk down the ramp, and they all chipped in, which was really sweet. The best part was after the concert was over... I saw a little girl who was jumping up and down and screaming because she couldn't get in to the after party to meet Katharine. She wasn't going to leave until she met Katharine. I thought it was really touching that they let her and her mom in.  I will tell all of you this was one night that I will never forget.

Minnie, i like the idea of incorporating positive newspaper reviews. Only the text in bold is needed, of course.

danihami at IDF posted this:

I got that rush of excitement when I heard the, "TWO, THREE, FOUR!" She was much more subdued doing BHACT but honestly, everything from her being on stage is such a blur. I had a poster that my friend Kim had given me so I held it up and Kat came over to squint and read it.



Between her songs she explained about her foot and showed off her cast and there was an audible gasp in the audience, I couldn't have made that up. I got the impression that most people didn't know about it (and I don't know how that's possible, it seems like it was all over the news). But maybe they were just saying "awww". She talked some more about how she loves Tampa because she went to a camp here with a lot of Broadway stars and she felt like Tampa was where she really nurtured her craft and developed as a performer. After "Rainbow" she got a standing ovation (she didn't do the false ending) and it was over way too soon for me.

The afterparty:
As soon as I saw Kat come in I made a beeline for her because I'd heard they don't let her stay very long at the after parties. I had her sign some things for people we'd met before the concert that wouldn't get to meet her. It was all kind of a blur but I asked if she'd gotten the CD I'd given to Elliott earlier for her and she looked confused at first until I described it and she said she'd seen it on the bus but didn't know it was for her. She laughed and said Elliott was the worst person to give things to because he always forgot or they got lost. Then I mentioned the little dry erase board and pack of colored markers I'd bought for Kellie and Kat lit up and said "That was from you?! We love it! We've already been drawing on it and using it!" Then we talked about the third song and the connection to her broken foot. Her third song was supposed to be "Think" but since it was so upbeat, she couldn't move around the stage with her clunky boot and sing it at the same time. She was SO bubbly and sweet but there were a lot of other people there who wanted to talk to her so I said we didn't want to hog her anymore. But I know she would've kept talking to us if we hadn't let her go.

five-star recap

yumkatyum, AI boards

She really was more than I had ever hoped for. There were so many Soul Patrollers at the Forum, I think Kat was overjoyed to see me because I was one of the few Diehard Kat phans there and probably the only diehard that managed to get in the meet and greet, lol. When I told her I was a huge fan and how special I thought she is, she beemed and lit up right away. She seemed genuinely flattered and Sweet.. I asked if I could hug her, and Kat looked around and started to get up and lean toward me, and Mcsecurity meanie Yelled at me and reminded me no Touching or Taking pics with any of the Idols. So Kat whispered I'm sooo sorry to me, and I shook her hand instead and I told her she's sooo sweet. She touched her heart and whispered thank you sooo much..and made this cute expression and giggled. Then I passed out unconscious.. jk
She signed 3 photos for me, and personalized one to me and thanked me for my support and wrote Love Katharine Mcphee!! I also gave her a Mcnote when I was being escorted away from the table by security, lmao so Taylor saw the note and said this is for Kat, and I said yeah so he was nice enough to hand it to her for me!!!

TAMPA

Katharine06idol  from  katharinefans.com recap

Well!!!  i must say that last night was one of THE most A-MA-ZING nights EVER!  i just love katharine mcphee!

OKAY, so, first all the rest performed...blah blah...then you hear..."whooo-hoooo" and the crowd goes CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY!  iit's kat singing BHCT & SOTR and a LOT of screaming in the backround--there is also a little blurb where she is talking about her memories of tampa from when she studied there for 2 summers while in high school.

...anyway, when she was on stage, i was so excited that i was seeing her LIVE that i didn't notice how many people were actually freaking out during her performance!  she was DEFINITELY well-received in tampa, THAT'S for sure!  however--she looked as if she was hobbling a bit more during the finale, and probably in pain, but she's a trooper and you could BARELY tell the rest of the show that she was in a boot!
 
Okay, so after the show, danielle and i went to the afterparty..... so we go backstage and i am watching...watching...in suspense...where's kat???   HERE SHE COMES!  yay kat!  haha  i am a dork.  

So kat was sitting at a table, for obvious reasons.  we made a beeline straight over to her. she's absolutely gorgeous, flawless, however you want to say, she's it!  we chatted smalltalk for a few minutes and we felt like we were hogging her from the others, and she's like, nooooooo, come on now!  and kept talking--she was signing, talking, taking pics--she was such a sweetheart!  you almost feel like you are pals with them, just chatting about nothing--it was very cool for us, even though they meet like 1000s of fans on this tour.

i don't remember half of it, but  i just HOPE i told her what an amazing job she did out there--she is so incredibly talented--it's no wonder she takes her dad's breath away every time she sings--she's simply A-MA-ZING.in every sense of the word...that's truly it.  i didn't want to sit there and say, hey kat, did you get this, or that, because i am sure she has received SOOOOOOO many things from fans, that i just wanted to talk to her, not ask her if she received things from me, ya know?

There were so many things i wanted to say, but i don't think i said half of them!  i was just SO excited to meet and chat with kat, that i was happy.     She's such a sweet girl--very real--who couldn't love her????  I am just so grateful to have had this opportunity--it was just...A-MA-ZING.

****************************************************

she also asked me to post this one...i guess this little girl was flipping out and would not leave until they let her back to meet kat!  i saw this little girl back getting her pic with kat too, so i guess it worked!  haha  somebody had a heart.i
