The American Idols Live tour rolls into the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles tonight! It’s a hometown show of sorts, as the Idols return to the city where it all began…
The show begins at 7pt/10et. We’ll be live blogging the concert right here, and we’ve got plenty of tweeters tonight, so stick around.
Mark Ballas, Blake Lewis, Mikalah Gordon, Brandon Rogers, David Hernandez and Nikki Reed spotted at Idols concert in LA. I read a report that Nigel Lythgoe was there too. So was David Cook’s brother, Andrew.
Lauren Alaina’s voice is getting stronger (she’s had vocal problems since Top 3)…and she’s walking mostly unaided without a cane.
Blake Lewis was overheard yelling “Pick me pick me!” when the winner montage ran on the big screen before Scotty’s set! The Idol alums were TOTALLY rocking out to the music.
When Scotty McCreery took the stage for his 5 song set, he said, “There’s something familiar about this stage… right here is where my life changed forever”. Aw (The Final and Finale both took place at the Nokia!)
