Won't be able to make it - Enjoy ladies!

Awe we will miss you Cecilie!

I might be a little late tonight. I am going to a movie at 4:50 but I will definitely be home long before Matt is on. I'm sure I will be home by 7:15 and the show doesn't usually start until then anyway. Can't wait!

So far Matt is the only one who has come out in Tampa.

Matt is so good to his fans. But I believe Kris has now come out as well. I'm sure Michael will come out too.

I don't know how to do these cellcerts. And I'm late joining. Dang it, Matt's in Atlanta on Friday and I still don't have tickets, but I'm trying.

I just saw that about Matt being the only one to come out, he's so sweet!

Apparently they release some pretty good tickets the morning of the show so if you don't have any by then, I would check first thing in the am.

Lovemytigers everytime there is a show I post the links and all you need to do is click on the blogtv link and it will automatically come up when Rickey get's the call. Check in this thread to the link to the live feed from tonight's show and you can watch Matt perform YFM and Tell Her About It. But you will have to find the recorded video amonst several others.

God I can't wait until Matt is done with this tour so I no longer have to hear another deranged crazy ass Adam fan again.

Quote :

Matt tore it UP on “Hard to Handle.” That song brought down the house. “Georgia” was fantastic as well, but IMO, “You Found Me” wasn’t the right choice for his closing song. It kinda killed the energy, for me.

LOL at this Kris fan. Is she serious? She loves the biggest snoozer in the top ten and she says Matt has two snoozers in his set? LOL watching Kris perform is like watching paint dry. I guess to each his/her own.

Quote :

Oh well, it will surprise no one that I liked Kris best. I am confused as to whom I liked second best. Danny reminded me of what I liked about him early in the season. Matt had one show stopper, and two snoozers. Someone should tell him his set order is backwards. He needs to end his set with the show stopper.

When I read that article at Rickey's, I was wondering WTF? Why was Matt the ONLY ONE OF 10 IDOLS to show up before the concert and meet the fans? I don't think EVERYONE else could have been sick. I know from Twitter that Kris and Danny got sunburns yesterday, but what about Michael, Scott, Anoop, etc.?

I tell ya, Matty's earning major brownie points with the fans by being the only one to show up in Tampa AND one of three guys to show up in Memphis!

Talk about bad public relations for everyone else. Not to sound sexist, but I've noticed that Lil, Megan and Allison rarely go out and meet the fans before the shows (although all of them do the post-concert appearances). Are they so discouraged to meet the fans because they're primarily women and girls waiting to see Adam, Kris, Danny, Matt, etc.? IMO, it makes them look bitter, like they won't sign for any of the guys' fans. I can understand if Allison doesn't do it because she's younger and she might have home schoolng to do or something. But what about more fan interaction from Lil and Megan?

BTW, I think Matt has to be one of the SWEETEST guys ever! Who wouldn't think so after seeing the photo of him in the Mickey ears? I bet Rickey is going to use that new Matt picture as a graphic during the cellcerts! [Not as cute as Tigger & Matt though!]

What a charming picture! Just loving it

Apparently, there was something strange going on at the Tampa concert. I was reading through the recent comments on MJ's blog, and some fans were tweeting that Adam was the only Idol not to come out after the show to meet the fans. I think the other 9 made their appearances, but security guards whisked Adam out of there quickly.

The tweets have been saying that there might have been death threats against Adam, or his stalker might have shown up, or maybe there were some idiotic people wearing a hateful message on their t-shirts. Now I'm really confused. If there was a death threat or something that serious, then why were the other Idols allowed to interact with the crowd? Wouldn't it be somewhat dangerous for them to be out there too? Is that why Matt was the only person signing autographs before the show? Was Matt taking one for the team?

Or is this death threat/stalker thing being exaggerated? The Twitters said that the security guard told them that it was 'a long story' why Adam wasn't going to make it. Reportedly, Adam also skipped the official Meet & Greet after the concert. I hope everything is OK, but I did find it strange that only Matt showed up before the concert. Usually, Michael, Danny and sometimes Kris and Scott show up, too! I guess we'll find out later...

Matt G was awesome-his singing and piano playing were fantastic. His stage presence is probably the best after Adam. The crowd loved him and interacted with him, he was the best of the first half.
