Today is: Not as cool as last night!
Last night, I finally went to my first concert. I know, 29 years old and just now going to my first concert. You know what? Bite me!
Went to see Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken in concert. The concert opened with a cool local (Florida) group, The Beu Sisters. They were amazing. Voices like angels, and extremely cute as well.
Then, Kelly Clarkson came out and belted out some awesome powerful songs. Of course, it goes without saying for anybody who has eyes to see her, she is sexy and sweet. That girl knocks for a loop everytime. If you think Kelly looks good in her music videos on TV, you don't know the half of the story. She is guaranteed to blow you away in person.
Especially after her first set of a few songs, she runs backstage while the backup vocalists continue to sing. She, then, comes out in a knockout, luminous blue corset and slim black pants, that very skillfully accent her lovely curves. I thought my heart was going to stop. As Kelly would say, "Whoo-hoo!"
That would be a grievous understatement, trust me.
Then, finally Clay Aiken's turn on stage. I, and my friend, Keri are sitting waiting for the seriously boring intermission after Kelly's set and we hear the crowd start to scream. Not all at once, mind you. More like a steadily growing scream starting at one end of the stadium and slowly rolling to the other. Apparently, someone had spotted Clay ahead of his scheduled appearance and began freaking out. Which, in turn, caused the entire stadium full of girls to freak out.
The building goes dark, other than the stage lights and the backup vocalists begin singing Kyrie Eleison. Of course, everyone around our section is still dumbfounded as to what's going on. After the opening verses to the song, the very distinctive voice of Clay Aiken can be heard singing along with the group, still nowhere to be seen. until a single spotlight shines at the opposite end of the stadium. At which point, the screaming starts again, as he walks down the aisle practically in amongst the crowd.
He makes his way to stage, and does an awesome job on stage, as well. Now, I wouldn't exactly consider myself a Clay Aiken fan at that point, having only seen him briefly on American Idol and having only heard Invisible once or twice, but I'll tell you honestly, I really enjoyed listening to Clay do his best up there. Color me impressed!
A couple of the coolest things he did while on stage also impressed me. While singing one of his songs, he walked over to someone who was on a cell phone talking to one of their friends, reached for the phone and began singing to the person on the other end. Needless to say, the person on the phone started screaming and freaking out. He gave the phone back to the person in the crowd, saying that he couldn't sing to them anymore because they frantic and screaming with excitement. After he was finished, he asked who was on the phone, got the phone again and began talking to them, of course until they began freaking out again and handed the phone back.
There was also a girl in the audience, near to the stage, whose birthday was last night, I think her name was Stephanie, and he brught her up close and sang Happy Birthday to her. She was practically crying as he sang.
In the end, Clay and Kelly both returned to the stage and sang a beautiful duet before finally concluding for the evening. All in all, the entire concert was amazing.
Definitely, a concert more-than-worth attending for being my first concert. The only thing that would have made the evening better was to meet Kelly Clarkson and her to fall head-over-heels in love with me. Alas, it was not to be. But a man can dream, can't he?
Deep thought for the day: Surprise! It's time... to feel... what's real!
