American Idol Tour 2008

by Laura

I know, I know. I haven’t updated in a while but we’ve been having some technical difficulties so hopefully everything is back on track and I should be more up to date with Daughtry Land.

But in related news, a couple friends and I went to go see the American Idol Show in Toronto last week and I thought I’d give a review on it.

First of all, Daughtry was very present at the show. They played, I think, 4 or 5 of his songs before the show started and during the intermission, and they also played the music video for “Feels Like Tonight” so that was pretty cool.

I had a blast at the show. It was really fun hanging out with my friends and going to concerts is always an exciting event. Of course the highlight of the show was seeing Michael Johns, who was absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to see what he does when the tour is over.

All that being said… This was the 6th year that I have gone to the American Idol show (I know that’s pathetic but I can’t resist) and this was THE WORST show yet.
I found that very strange because this year there were some really great people and I thought they would put on a great show. I will say, it wasn’t their fault, it was whoever put the set list together. It was so boring and it made for a very uninteresting concert.
All they did was have each finalist sing three songs in the order they got kicked off starting with #10, Chikezie. Well, actually David Archuleta sang 4 songs and David Cook sang 5 songs and they had two extremely LAME and short group songs; one before intermission and one at the very end and that was it. Horrible.

In years pasts they have done plenty of group songs, girl group songs, guy group songs, special duets and trios, dancing, audience participation… all kinds of fun things that made the show really exciting. This year was a total bust. I feel sorry for the Top 10 because they got screwed out of an awesome tour. Apparently the powers that be got really, really lazy this year. Yikes.

However, even though the concert was poorly put together, each finalist did a really awesome job. Well, except maybe Ramielle… she wasn’t that great.

Oh! And the icing on the cake, they didn’t even give us Pop-tarts this year! They usually pass out new flavors of Pop-tarts in the lobby after the show. This year: No Pop-tarts. It was all very sad.

Clearly, none of this will stop me from going to the show next year. American Idol controls my life.

  2. Sanjumanji Says:

    The no pop tarts was my fault. I told the Kellogs people off when they couldn’t get me tickets to the meet and greet because I am Canadian…and the show was in Canada? Idiots. I didn’t want their stinkin pop tarts anyway.

  3. Laura Says:

    Well, I wanted the pop-tarts and you should be ashamed of yourself for living in a country where they don’t allow a free exchange of pop-tarts. It’s a sick world.
