As most of you know, the American Idols Live tour finally kicks off this Friday, July 6, in Sunrise, FL. For the next 2 1/2 months, the top 10 contestants will travel around the country in one of the summer’s biggest tours, and five of your very own readers, posters, and/or admins will be there firsthand at the second stop of the tour in Tampa, FL this Saturday night. Yes, we are just slightly excited. In addition to those of us going on Saturday night, all of the admins here at Team Plaid are going to at least one tour stop, and we’ll do our best to report on all the details from the stops that we attend.
However, we obviously cannot cover 50+ tour stops alone, so here’s where you come in. We want your recaps!!! We know that there are lots of you out there who are going to a stop of the tour this summer, and we want to hear how your concert went! We know that you are fabulous writers, photographers, and videographers, and we’d love to put up the details of your Disney on Ice AI tour experience. We will open a blog post for each concert, so please feel free to post your recaps there. Or, simply email us at teamplaid@gmail.com with pics, links to photobucket accounts, and… recaps! Sure, the songs at each concert will be the same, but there are always fun little details that differ from city to city, and we love to know this stuff! And we especially want to know if you were lucky enough to score Meet and Greets and got to meet the Idols, or if you were just patient enough to wait by the busses for a quick hug, picture, and autograph!
Please use this space to find others who are going to your same tour stop. Feel free to post which city you plan to go to, but please DO NOT post detailed information about where you are sitting or eating beforehand, etc. If you would like to contact someone about meeting up at a specific concert, and you do not already have their contact info, please email us at teamplaid@gmail.com, and we’ll be happy to get y’all hooked up. But please, for your own safety, do not post your email address or any detailed information here.
Thanks to you all! Here’s to a summer of fun tour info!!
After several listens, “Break Anotha,” with its opening blast of sirens and its hiccup-y beats, sounds like it could easily hold its own on Billboard’s Hot 100. In other words, it’s not just a “good for an Idol graduate” kind of single, but instead the kind of track I’d spend money to download. Oddly, Blake’s falsetto and the flurry of strings on the bridge is slightly reminiscent of J.Lo’s “Do It Well,” but his voice sounds nonetheless confident and radio-ready throughout. And Blake’s lyrical word of caution (”So desperate/Be your best friend/Sign you up just to cross you off his checklist”) about a chronic womanizer — complete with a breakdown that suggests that he might, in fact, be the cad in question — is a refreshing change of pace from “moment like this” goo.
Dearborn, MI. He and Miss Jordin Sparks will be putting on a mini-concert for the crowd. (I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to bust out the adorable photo you see to the right. The moment has finally arrived! Yes!!) If you’re in the area, why not purchase a ticket and go? And stop by to tell us about it afterwards, of course.
