		<description>Jason talks about what happened with his ukulele:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZx2njY--3g

Apparently, he had plugged it in, but not all the way so that some sound was coming out, but not all.

He&#039;s always telling people about his deficiencies.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the recap, pictures and links, MJ.  Glad that you had a good time.

I love the videos that I&#039;ve seen/heard so far.  

Syesha&#039;s picture is kinda funny.  It is sooo obvious which part of that hair is not her real hair.  They should have found extensions which would have been a better match for her hair.   I could understand the big difference if they were in a humid climate and her hair texture changed between the time her hair was done and the time of the show but I don&#039;t think AZ is humid.  I like her hair in it&#039;s natural state but I guess she thinks that the extensions add glam.  Oh well, it&#039;s about the singing.</description>

		<description>My kids just got home from camp in Prescott Arizona and they said they got songs from the concert in Glendale AZ filtered in for them to hear.  How cool was that, since I gave up going to the concert so they could go to camp!!!</description>

		<description>Love the pictures with the recap!  I checked all day to see if you had it up yet! 
This is the first year that I want to hear about everyone.    I&#039;m curious about Ramielle.  I wonder if she isn&#039;t projecting because of being uncomfortable on stage and this will get better with time or if reading poor reviews will hold her back even worse.   This will be interesting to watch.</description>

		<description>MJ, thanks as always.  It was a great recap.  I felt like I was there.  Thanks for all the vids, too.  They were all &quot;sah-weet&quot; (sorry, I had to keep it going!)</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Oh - purple already said that -&lt;/blockquote&gt;



Ack! I didn&#039;t even type it right! My post should have read (mj&#039;s recap is) &quot;sa-weet!&quot; Heh.  :tongue1_tb:

Syesha &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&amp;friendID=184692655&amp;blogID=411780930&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;blogged&lt;/a&gt; about the Glendale tour...

SHOW 1
Current mood: exhausted

Wow! One down how many more to go?lol. Tonight was a crazy night. We started out early and ended around 12:45 am got on the bus and drove to CA. Went to the hotel and slept a little bit longer. I was so exhausted.

You would think after all this time I wouldn&#039;t be nervous, but I was. Right before I went on I had dry mouth. David Cook stood backstage with me as I was spraying dry mouth spray in my mouth for the first time. I heard the crowd cheering for Jason really loud and it was my turn already. My heart was just about to pop out of my chest. CRAZY! The crowd was great.

I had a gorgeous dress the stylist picked out for the show, but it didn&#039;t work out, so I wore something else, that was picked out the day of, so that made me a little nervous. Still working out the kinks. I&#039;m trying to get comfortable in the new dress. MMMMMmmmmmmmmm.............next show..let&#039;s see how i feel.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>Aww, great recap MJ, thank you.
And I&#039;m glad you mentioned that it will be like having our own little mini finale w/ streamers. I&#039;m totally gonna pull a Mama Cook and stuff some them in my purse before leaving my show!</description>

		<description>mj,
Loved reading your beautiful recount of the concert! It was like walking back in time and remembering every little thing that happened Monday night. Thank You for the fun nostalgic trip!   :clap_tb:

It was awesome to meet you and watch you work first hand. You are really talented and fun. It was my pleasure to spend some time with you and hearing your past season blog stories. 
The thrilling part was to get to share the experience with someone who loved the show as much as I did.  

I thought the Idols would be staying at the Renaissance Glendale Hotel,  adjacent to the jobbing.com Arena in Glendale.  The Arena is 50 minutes away from my home in Scottsdale. Instead, they were staying at the 5 star Royal Palms Hotel and Spa in Scottsdale, 10 minutes from me! This converted Mansion is known for it&#039;s old world charm and privacy. It is uber pricey and highly coveted. It sits at the base of Camelback mountain with breathtaking views. If you are looking for peace, tranquility and a spa massage, this is the spot!
It is rumored that this resort requires all employees to sign confidentiality agreements regarding Hotel guests. If the employee were to discuss a guest with the media and it got back to the hotel, they are immediately fired! The AI hotel secret remained safe and sound!

Their #1 Zagat rated restaurant, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;T. Cook&#039;s&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; had to delight David Cook and Kristy Lee Cook! Who couldn&#039;t resist dining in a restaurant with your same name?
http://www.royalpalmshotel.com/arizona-resort-overview.php

Sorry to miss meeting you AZIdolFan. I was hoping you would join us for dinner too. Some many AI stories and so little time!

mj, also kind of you not to mention my tardiness. Sorry for making you wait.

Speaking of apologies...... after mis-quoting Jason Castro&#039;s Spirit towel earlier today, I attempted to make amends by adding the charity link with my photo caption revision on my space photo and message to Jason&#039;s Dreadheads here. Well, they got it!!
My myspace message box is full of Dreadhead love tonight. The girl who was in the photo I took wrote to me to say she was the one waving the towel! She flew in from NM and her friend flew in from Virginia to see the concert!  She loved the concert and is having withdrawls too. 

To hear Jason&#039;s songs, including some pre-idol songs,  http://www.daydreamingboy.com  

She shared a video from Monday night of David Archuleta singing, &quot;Apologize.&quot; http://youtube.com/watch?v=CM705--YCO0
My AI Live! tour love fest theory holds true! We all have many favorites in the group!</description>

		<description>I listened to all of it, finally.  I think one of Chikeze&#039;s songs are missing.  The second and third link lead to the same song.

Carly better be signed by somebody, that chick sings her freaking booty off, and that big stage was just her size.

Syesha took on the two current RNB/pop princesses on and came out pretty damn well.  Listen was incredible. She meant that....wow.

JSG, Syesha&#039;s hair is.....there, lol.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢ve gotta say, Brooke sounded all sorts of awesome on Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œLet it BeÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ , even better than on the show and her studio recording (IMO).&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I have to agree. I wasn&#039;t so excited to see this one coz I don&#039;t really like reprises, I wanted to hear all new songs. But wow, she blew me away. It was so much better than it was on the show, and I didn&#039;t even think that was possible considering how much I loved her performance of it in the show.</description>

		<description>Thank you for the recap.  After viewing each clip in the order you posted them up and reading your comments, I feel like I was sitting beside you at the concert.  I&#039;m very happy to hear that the show went off without a hitch and that the Idols put on a great show.  

It would&#039;ve been cool if there had been a few more duet/group numbers, what a shame that it was decided to forgo that - there was potential for some terrific numbers.  

I&#039;m impressed with how much stage presence so many of these Idols already have.  Damn but some of them really knew how to work it! LOL.  And I&#039;ve gotta say, Brooke sounded all sorts of awesome on &quot;Let it Be&quot;, even better than on the show and her studio recording (IMO).</description>

		<description>Great recap, MJ.  I can&#039;t wait for my turn (weeks from now).  I agree that it&#039;s disappointing that there&#039;s no duets like they talked about.

I just went and watched the video where they&#039;re doing &quot;An American Band&quot;.  Michael sounded great and it was fun to see them in costume.  </description>

		<description>Sweet recap!  LOL
It really does sound like the show is entertaining from start to finish.  I like all the Idols this year too (especially Jason) (like no one here knew that) -&amp; I can&#039;t wait for the tour to come to Michigan.  Your photos and video clips are great, I hope they let me bring in my camera at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit - I have a fairly good telephoto lens.  One can hope!  

If the concert is as good as it sounds I may just have to try to find a seat for the Grand Rapids date as well. :)

Thanks again MJ.  I love your blog!</description>

		<description>Thanks for the recap, photos &amp; video links.  I loved all of the little details: long lines, annoying fans with signs, product placements, the Archie fan stage rushing at the end etc.  The only thing I didn&#039;t find out was what flavor pop-tart did they give out this year?</description>

		<description>Great recap Mj.  Always love your recaps...... 

I really would have liked them to have shaken things with a rock trio from Cookie, Carly and that sexy Michael Johns.  Then they could have done something funky with Syesha and Chikeze.  A cool folkie duet with Jason and Brooke and then another trio of Archie, Kristie and Ramiele.  That would have been fun.  Anyway it still sounded like a big success all around, well mostly.  

I am glad to hear my little Archie is loving the big stage.  He certainly looks comfortable there.  Angels is stunning.  When You Say You Love Me, I was worried about him doing it.  I shouldn&#039;t have.  Crap, that damn kid, lol.</description>

		<description>So it seems that from Chikeze to Brooke each got 3 numbers, and, a group number.  Then Jason and Syesha each have 3 songs.  Archie 4, and, Cookie 5, then the entire group does the closing song.  So, Jason &amp; Syesha had less singing than the others.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;LOL. Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œSweetÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  means awesome. I think it does. &lt;/blockquote&gt;


LOL, yeah, I use it to mean that all the time. Dunno where I picked it up, but it&#039;s become a regular part of my vocab. Heh.

Maybe you could spell it &quot;sa-weet!&quot; maybe and people would get the difference? I dunno. lol.

ETA - DUH, Sarah. I forgot to thank you for the recap. So, thanks!! Great recap! :) Brooke&#039;s set does sound really fabulous. I&#039;ll be looking forward to her, Carly, Jason, and of course, DC. I&#039;m pretty disappointed that Michael isn&#039;t doing any new songs, but I&#039;m sure I&#039;ll enjoy his set nonetheless.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Nice recap, but, Jason was only Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…â€œsweet?Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬  Gosh, IÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m disappointed that he wasnÃƒ ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t outstanding or awesome, or another adjective. Sweet, huh? Ok.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

LOL.  &quot;Sweet&quot; means awesome.  I think it does.  Yes, Jason was able to hold his own. Maybe I better edit my recap before the dreadheads set the fireants on me. lol ;).</description>
