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.  Mandisa kicked off the show with I'm every Woman, and she was so awesome. Everyone had their own style about just how great they were. Paris was a great dancer, and Lisa plays the piano really well. Kellie couldn't perform because she was sick, but she came on the stage and said hi. We all screamed like crazy when she came up on stage. She just had on a baggy T-shirt and either shorts or jeans. I couldn't really see too well.  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.  After she was done, Taylor came out from the audience and started off his part with Jailhouse Rock. I think Taylor sang like 4 or 5 songs, but to me it didn't seem like he danced very much.  Both Katharine and Taylor got standing ovations after they performed.  The first group song was We are the Champions, which Katharine and Taylor weren't apart of.  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 went down to the first floor and there was Melissa McGee. I got my picture taken with her! 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 was about to leave when I saw Ace coming out from the after party, and he came to see some fans just waiting there. I got my picture taken with Ace! When we went outside we saw the guy that does the Idol chatter on Fox 13 news, Tampa Bay. I also got my picture taken with him!  I don't think I got home until after 12:30 this morning.  I will tell all of you this was one night that I will never forget.
