The American Idols Live! Recap

On Tuesday, August 15, I had the distinct honor of shelling out a bunch of money in order to go see the top ten finalist from this past season of American Idol perform live at the Van Andel Arena. And fortunately, it was a rare night when every single person was performing and not on voice rest! (Kat, Kellie, Bucky and now Mandisa have missed cities because of doctors ordering them on voice rest.) And in a very rare move, my thoughts on the concert are not posted here, but on another website. The AI blog "mj's big blog" has been featuring reports e-mailed in from posters on each of the concerts. (This site is also a great place to go to during the regular season for spoilers, tidbits and more.)
