The American Idols Season 9 are opening their Summer Tour in Auburn Hills tonight. The show starts at 7:30 EST.
This is the spot for live blogging, Concert Vids, Tweets and Photos! After the jump, check out my rolling twitter list, and watch out for vids, I’ll be posting them throughout the night.
So far, from what I’m hearing from folks at the concert, the stage is small–no catwalk or wings.
