If you know what's good for you: Let them eat CAKE.

So last night I went to the American Idols Live concert. And let me say this: CAKE. I screamed myself hoarse. Absolutely, one-hundred percent voiceless till about noon today. Care for a review and a few pictures?
Let me just say, there was a complete change in atmosphere whenever Blake performed. The other Idols were received warmly, but the house exploded when Blake finally did his three song set. It was incredible. When he put together the mix onstage with She Will Be Loved and With Or Without You I nearly passed out. He's so smooth; he really handles the stage well and with confidence. This, IMO, is in complete contrast to Jordin. She is cute and did a couple nice numbers, but she was jittery and all over the place.
Though I keep feeling like Chris Richardson stole the show. What with the surprisingly excellent beatboxing of his own (WITH BLAKE!!1!) and OWNING the drums during the group 'band' numbers... awesome. Chris on those drums did things to me. Oh, yes it did. He was righteously SLICK. The whole Hey Jude number was the magic of a natural high, minus Sanjaya's intermittent screeching.
Melinda, Phil, and Gina were in fine form. Sligh and LaKisha were okay. Sanjaya and Haley proved just as played live as they were during the show itself. I swear, some of the group numbers for the girls were so unbearably riddled with cheese and a lack of charisma. When the boys were together it was a lot more believable and not so lounge-act.
I would have died if they had come off the stage to those of us on the floor. Unfortunately, only those with seats RIGHT up front and right to the sides going up got any hand action. I was bummed. Security was keeping anyone from, you know, doing any crowd surfing. ;) But all things considered, it was definitely worth it - and worth the, oh, sixty bucks I spent on merchandise. I was weak. The pirates! Could I really have left without the Blake t-shirt? Or the 8x10's of Chris and Blake? Or the big program? Apparently not.
Jordin and Chris during What Hurts the Most.
CHRIS. DRUMS. Far right. BLAKE. GUITAR. Far left.
Some Blake love.
Tragically, tragically blurry.
Phil and Gina snuggling.
Jordin, for good measure.
