American Idol

So Lindsay and I went to the A Idol taping yesterday evening. It was so exciting. We actually didn't get in the first group of people so we were seat fillers, which turned out to be better. Lindsay got to be in the pit right by the stage by the Idol contestants and I was in the 5th row behind Randy Jackson and the judges. I was so close to the stage which is much smaller than it looks on tv. Got to see Cameron Diaz very close up when she went to greet the judges during a break...she is beautiful....so was Kara. Ellen was very tiny...much smaller than I thought and Simon and Randy ...well ...just like they look on tv. LOL Rascal Flats and Shakira were the only live performances during the show ...the others are prerecorded. Then after the show we got to stay for a taping of Lady Gaga's performance...that was quite a production! I'm guessing that will be shown at a later date. It was a long afternoon and evening but so interesting and exciting to watch. I was so excited that Casey James was saved for another week! So, now on to my next destination.....Vegas!!!
