Here is my review of the concert on Sunday. --I arrived at the venue at 12:30 which is typical for me at Kat events -in hopes of a Kat sighting before the concert.  However, that venue is not fan friendly like some of those with a more casual set up, so I never saw her.  I met up with Jammer and waited outside while he was at the Meet and Greet with Kat.  He called me from there when he finished with Kat, to let me know what went on. 

Once inside for the concert, it was interesting to watch the different types,actions, ages etc. of the people arriving.  Mostly  were female which I guess was fitting for Girls night Out and Mothers Day.  I had floor- seats row 3 directly behind the standing "Chick Pit" which was right next to the stage.  Luckily I could see over some of the lively ones in there.  Lilly Allen was first and had her own band members.  I thought the music was a bit loud making it hard to hear her at times.  I enjoyed her performance-British accent and all, but she didn't move around much like Kat does.  Of course most of her songs aren't the type to require much of that.

Next was Jubal and the Ball Flaggs which I found pretty funny.  Five guys in drag including Jubal , and they did one long song.  Near the end Sanjaya came out  with a microphone and sang -or pretended to sing  along.  Even though he didn't do much, he got a huge reception,  I was glad to see him after all of the hype etc. about him.

By then I was getting very excited knowing Kat was next.  I was glad they put up her giant banner showing her album cover and letting everyone know the Incredible Kat had arrived. Her entrance was fantastic as she walked out sing acapella and looking really happy and ready to perform.  To me, all of her songs sounded right on, and she really had the sexy/classy/fun combo going with her song choices and the way she presented them.  Her stage presence was excellent , as she moved around most of the time covering the whole stage, and she was very personable with the audience.  It looked like she felt comfortable with her new dance moves/routines, and she was so cute performing them.  They were GREAT!  The audience was very responsive to her, and once again she made me feel so proud of her!!Of course I hated to see her part end, and it makes me anxious for a full Kat only concert someday.  There is no one like KAT.---

Fergie was last and totally rocked the house!!  Like-if anyone had even thought of using earplugs that would have been the time.   Fergie, the band and the non stop audience participation were all VERY LOUD.  She had a band and 8 really active dancers.  I actually enjoy that type of thing, but my hearing might not return for quite some time.--

Overall the whole concert was quite entertaining --but of course I went to see the AMAZING, INCREDIBLE KAT!!   ---LINDA

Thanks Linda for sharing your incredible Kat and "Girls Night Out" experience with us. Yes, Kat's appearance and performance live does make one as a Kat fan very proud. I had that same feeling watching her at the Jimmy Kimmel show. And I can imagine that Kat performing on Mother's Day was the special gift she gave to her own mother, Peisha in the audience. How very proud she must have been of her as we all are!!!

We are definitely working together -- working on a record together. She sings so magnificently, it's just amazing -David Foster-

Sanjaya already turned red from sitting on that bed during the interview with the two female radio hosts from KISS. It's too bad they didn't use him as host on stage, though, because that would have made it seem less calculated.

Thanks a lot, Linda, for your well-written and detailed review. Great you and Jammer hooked up there. I guess Mattsie couldn't be found within the crowds--but all three of you meeting Kat would have been the best of the best. At least Jammer had some time with Kat (and Peisha) according to what he said. He'll have his wrap-up posted here pretty soon once he gets the time.

I feel sorry for your hearing going out after the show. That's a big problem when it comes to attending pop/rock concerts. I'm not sure what can be done to control that kind of thing--other than sound ordinances being enacted just for the sake of not making the next generation of kids all tone deaf. You just have to take the proper precautions when you go to these type of events. Small earplugs can be bought that don't look overly obvious.

Great you had such close seats, too, because the expressions on Kat's face need to be experienced--especially during 'Mary Jane.' There's nothing quite like her performance of 'Mary Jane' to be honest. Kat just HAS to make an album containing material like this. If she had one like that out now--she'd be beyond platinum by now and have her condo paid for. At least she's getting paid for singing it on a short U.S. tour.

I'm hoping Kat will come to Portland this year--but I think it's obvious that won't happen now. July will be Australia/U.K., etc. It's more gratifying seeing her cultivate her fanbase overseas anyway--because she needs to do that right now.

Incidentally: I wonder why Kat isn't using her live band on these shows? Part of the fun in her live performances has been seeing her interact with the musicians. Having canned music appears to still be working ok--but seeing the actual musicians there would help in proving her shows are the best in true musicianship.

Thanks for posting your recap, Linda.  Too bad you couldn't meet Kat again, but you know she'll be back to her second home many times throughout her career.

Linda, we should have hooked up last Sunday. I arrived at 6pm (just in time to make it to the start) because of an emergency, but I wished we had sat together or had met there at least. Did you have photos taken from the event? Thanks for posting your review. We had a blast, didn't we?

Movie actors like Paul Newman, Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, Lauren Bacall and Bette Davis make me want to live in the era they lived but I could have been just as inspired even now while I watch their work in films.

Mary Jane = millions of record sales.  I don't think we know this.  We don't really know anything.  Everybody before Katharine made her CD was saying she had to be more "current", fit in with the mainstream pop world to succeed.  Now after the fact, when she's just doing OK with album sales...we know going that way would be certain success.

We don't really know anything.  We just know what WE like.  And for some reason there's still this issue for Katharine with connecting with people the way I think everyone should.  I personally don't get how people could leave a show like Seattle and not run out and pick up her album.  Hopefully that happens.  She's got 8 more of these to come...


"I saw Katharine McPhee when there were about 12 contestants left on American Idol. She blew me away. I loved her grace, her style, her poise, her voice and her hair! I wanted her to be the face of Sexy Hair because she represented everything that I had in my head for the brand: youth, beauty, talent, class, a young sophistication, and sexiness." -- Jim Morrison, CEO of Sexy Hair Products.
