American Idol 7 Finale Red Carpet Thread.. David Cook Wins!

[LiLIrishChick63]

I'm going. I'm seeing them in Phoenix and Las Vegas.

ohhh twice! lucky you!

 

[LiLIrishChick63]

It's good to see you back! Sorry your job was being such a pain. I bet you're happy to have the moving (almost) done.

I'm going to the Idol show in Tampa in August. I'll be sure to post a detailed recap.

I hope you can make it back more often now that you are relatively settled.

and now they're acting like nothing ever happened, at my work. i swear they're psychotic. yeah it's really nice to be pretty settled in.

yes you must post recaps! i will be doing the same when i go to mine!

i will definatly be on more than i have in the past few weeks, but probably not as much as i was before. still have a lot of things to do. i'm still not 100% unpacked, plus the wedding stuff is coming up so it's getting a little crazy.

hey i know we had some SYTYCD fans around here....did they start a thread for that, too??

Real life took over for me the last week. My dd graduated on my dh's birthday, then it was our anniversary, then my family descended from out of town for the grad. party. Then they all left (except) for my sister. So, poor DC was put on the back burner.

I spent a lot of time reading back. Interesting, very interesting.


To answer a question from a long time ago, DS (11) and I are going to the David Cook and Friends Concert at the end of July in Rochester, NY.


Don't forget - DC sings the National Anthem tonight at the LA Lakers game. Be there or be square. I hope he takes MJ instead of Ursula.

Okay now that I'm semi-caught up on sleep as I can be. I had a blast and I'm planning on doing it again next year. It's exhausting but so much fun and you get a bunch of goodies.

You have the best photos!

I love to see what some stars look like when their picture is taken by a tourist's digital camera without 'special' lighting.

Mandy, how did you get to the meet and greets? Was it a special invitation?

The ones I took at the convention center, I got into by having a 4 day pass. The smaller artists usually don't have lines or I waited for the artist. The one at Chuck's party and when I get my picture from Lady A's party I'll post it but those you just waited in line for.

I'd wait to see Chuck too and I doubt I'd like his music. He's a cutie!

Why was Sugarland in gigantic hamster balls?

Thank you! I just have a normal Kodak camera with a great optical zoom. The only editing I did to pictures was red eye. My camera is really great sometimes, it picked up chest hair and sweat and everything. It's great.

Chuck is worth any wait so is Lady A for me.

That was what they did to kind of get the audience involved it was really cool watching it happen. They went out into the crowd in them and the crowd moved them around and it kicked off their song All I Wanna Do.
