I must first start out saying I may be a little bias because I am a huge Chris fan and AI will never be the same since he was kicked off so disrespectfully and unfairly. With that said I will began my much anticipated day.
I arrived at the Anaheim Pond about 6:25 on Sunday August 27 2006 and it as crowded. I wore the cutest outfit I could pull together because if there was a chance I could see Chris I wanted to look FAB! Ok with that said I am married and I know he is too. No harm in looking good. =) Anyway I went with my sis and my 6 year old nephew who was mad that we he had to go. He was complaining the entire time. My mom flaked out on us so we had an extra ticket and took him.
We got to our seats that we high in the arena but close to the bottom of that section (section 413 row D) and very close to the stage. I must say they were great seats. He seemed life size for the most part to me. The concert was good. The others were mediocre and entertained me for the most part. I went to the bathroom when Becky came on... (Hint...hint). After Pickler there was a break and I could hardly control myself bc I knew first Pickler was booted then Chris. He would be next. I told my sister, "Leah, I don’t know how I am going to act when he comes on. There is no telling how crazy I will get". She laughed and called me nuts but I seriously did not know how I would react to the Rocker whom I cried over when he was so unfairly booted. (Yes I cried. Really bad too) So anyway the lights dimmed and the AI music started up again. I quickly grabbed my camera and my phone so I could record him singing.
The bald babe came out with a black shirt un-buttoned with tight blue jeans and I went crazy! I stood up screaming on the top of my lungs! Everyone was screaming. I looked around and everyone was standing and almost collapsing.
After Chris was done we got up and left. Did not want to sit through Kat or Taylor because I can’t stand them and I didn't want to see the Corny Duos either because they are so lame! (Plus the lady behind me told me to sit down! How rude! Chris told us to get up. I was standing for my man) So seeing Chris for his 4 songs was good enough for me. When he sang Wanted Dead or Alive I almost jumped down and attacked him. It as awesome. He was awesome. Being there live and hearing him was amazing and truly one of the best moments of my life. I will never regret taking time every night and voting for him (even though I think it's rigged). He is amazing and worth all of my nights hoping and praying for him to make it till the end. I can’t wait for his album and he even said once his album was done who would come back to see him and we all screamed. He didn't do much talking to the audience like the others but he put on an amazing show that I will never forget! GO CHRIS MY AI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should all buy the absent Element CD. It’s hard rock. Different from the Chris on the show but it’s his voice and his voice is amazing. It will hold you off until his new album comes out.
