I saw the American Idol Concert at St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa last night. My hotel was exactly a mile away from that and less than half a mile from the hotel that the Top 10 were staying at. St. Pete Times Forum is HUGE!! When you looked at the other side, you could see it and all but it was hazy. And it was really, really steep. I sat as far back in my seat as I could for two reason: 1, fear of falling. 2, the two drunk women sitting in front of me would jump up and begin dancing. Their nails, excuse me, claws were like 2 inches long and sharp. I could just imagine them piercing through my eyes!!
Everyone was aMaZiNg! Much better in person and not in front of judges. After the concert, I got everyone's autograph this morning at 12:00 except for Adam's--he didn't come out. I guess he has a stalker. And people have been protesting about him being gay. Poor Adam....... Yesterday, before the show, Matt was the only one who came out to sign autographs. He signed everyone's pictures and autograph books. He was really funny too. I got a picture with Allison and Matt after the show. I was standing outside, trying to get autographs for a total of 5 hours. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hot outside! I was standing with this really nice group of older teenagers. They let me stand in front of them right by the fence. They had made a Kris Allen sign. They cut out each individual letter. They had everyone sign the letter "I". When Scott came around they said "Will you sign my I?". Scott said "You want me to sign your eye?!!" cuz he couldn't see the letter they were holding out. Then his brother told him "No, they want you to sign the letter I." And he did. Then when Allison came out, they pushed my mom and me to the front to get a picture with Allison. Then they grabbed Allison and were pulling her left and right to get her centered in the middle of the photo. She was really confused. She said "Huh, what's goin' on?". After Megan Joy signed my autograph book, she said "Oh just keep the book open because the boys are too lazy to open it themselves." She was so pretty in person. On TV she looked taller.
Then after getting everyone except for Adam's :( autograph, we ran out to the back of the building. There was already a crowd there and we had to stand behind barracades. Megan Joy came to sign autographs again, then the Top 9 loaded the buses. We saw everyone except for Adam getting onto the buses. No one saw him after the show. He vanished completely. Someone was talking about seeing Adam when everyone one arrived. She said that he looked really serious and unhappy. She also said that he didn't accknowledge the fans in any way. He went straight to the building. I also heard that he had bodyguards or policemen around him.
The concert was great, you will lOvE it!!! I have pictures and movies, but I have so many that it will take an hour and four minutes to upload. Or so my laptop says..... The world may never know..
:D

Anna Gray, u will love them! They were sooooo kind! The fans are all awzum too! I had balcony seats with my mom and aunt. We bought the tickets kinda late. We got autographs before and after the show. We arrived at the autograph area at exactly 1:43 PM. We melted in the sun for 1.37 hours (I kept track). Matt Giraud came out and signed autographs and pics for every single person. He was really funny. Then after the concert, we went back to the same place and waited. About an hour to an hour and a half after the show ended, the idols came out. I heard Adam won't take pics with people, but that's just a rumor. Adam did not come out. Allison rushes through people so be quick to get an autograph or pic. Danny, Matt, Kris, Megan, and Scott led by his brother take their time. Michael, Lil and Anoop kind of rush and kind of don't. I hope u have an awzum time at the concert! Don't go anywhere until the 20 minute intermission. You can't miss a thing--the concert is that good. :D
