This summer has been a summer full of concerts. Celine deserved her own post, but I thought I'd update you on the other rockin' concerts I went to in the last few months.
1. AMERICAN IDOL
My friends and I were a little obsessed with this season's American Idol. What a better way to celebrate the season then joining the idols on tour! The best part is that Lisa, Adi, and Amber got to meet the idols earlier that day! What, what!!
Adi and Jason Castro
Lisa and her man, David Cook
Isn't archie adorable?!
My favorite song of the night goes to Michael Johns, singing a couple Queen covers! How did MJ get kicked off so early!? Good times at the Verizon Center!
Concert #2: Maroon 5 & Counting Crows
Lisa, Melissa, Chelsea and I headed to the Nissan Pavilion to enjoy some good tunes. Thanks to Meliss, we got VIP parking and tailgated a little before the concert. Maroon 5 was a lot of fun...I found Adam Levine to be pretty nice on the eyes. Counting Crows was kind of a disappointment. The lead singer was seriously on crack, or something stronger. He was ALL over the place. Lisa and I enjoyed watching the entertaining people around us. Got to love how out of it people get at concerts.
Concert #3: Backstreet's Back ALRIGHT!! Yes, I went to a Backstreet Boy Concert!
You all know you listened to, "I want it that way" on repeat. Lisa got us free tickets to go see the bsb at Wolf Trap. I don't think I've been to this loud of a concert ever. The teens were going crazy. I especially enjoyed the props they used while performing. Nick Carter... always a heart breaker! They sang a lot of their old hits, "Quit Playing Games With My Heart", "Everybody (Backstreet's back)", "Larger than Life" and "Show Me the Meaning of being Lonely". Ladies, get excited, they came out with a new album!
Concert #4: Cheap Trick, Heart & Journey!!!
All three bands hold a special place in my heart. This is my kind of music. Sometimes I wonder what i would have been like as a teenager in the 80's. I love, love, love 80's rock. Adam and I made cd's of these groups before the concert, to brush up on the lyrics. We got to the concert a little late and missed cheap trick. I loved Heart, especially when the sang "Alone". Celine Dion sang "Alone" at her concert as well...such a great song! I think I may have missed my other favorite Heart song, "What About Love." It was interesting to listen to Journey with their new lead singer, who sounds exactly the same as the original lead singer. The band replaced their lead singer in December 2007, after seeing him on Youtube videos doing Journey covers! I got the chills when they sang, "Don't Stop Believing." "Faithfully, "Anyway You Want It" and "Open Arms" were a few more favorites. I love concerts at Nissan Pavilion. It is such a beautiful venue.
Adam and I going a little crazy after the concert!

What does it say about me that I'm most jealous about the Backstreet Boys concert??
I didn't know you were such a fan?! Did you buy their new cd?
Wow! Some serious good concerts! How fun. Cute pictures.
That sounds so fun! Journey would be awesome! I was looking at my scrapbook and I saw our Good Charlotte pictures, that was so fun!
Favorite part are the cut off shirts the BSB are wearing ;)
What a summer! I am glad I could share some of the highlights with you! Backstreet's back...ALRIGHT! And David Cook...it's like the gift that keeps on giving...I heart him.
