This was an outdoor concert.The only outdoor concert so far (according to several of the idols.) Due to timing, the first half of the concert was in broad daylight.Bonus? I got to see all the guys goofing off backstage.The stage is open steel work, btw, and there really isn't a backstage, per se.

Anyway.Chris was dorking around on a scooter.Elliott was standing on a railing, taking pictures of the crowd.Crowd was HUGE.I think I got a couple of pictures of the crowd.You have to put the two pictures together to see the full audience.It was that large.And very LOUD.

Let me stop here to say something.I'm primarily a Kat fan.I can take or leave the other idols.Until tonight.Now I'm a fan of all of them.They seriously kicked some butt.

Lisa was incredible.Paris has got some moves.Bucky sounded great.Kellie was much better than I remember.She can also move.At one point Mom leans over and says, "Damn.Girl's got a hell of a swing on that back porch.

"Intermission.Now Bucky's dorking around on the scooter again.Kellie jumps on the back, holds onto Bucky, and they go scooting around.They stop at one point, by the fence, and a crowd rushes over to meet them and get pics.

Show starts back up.Now people who know me know I snark on Chris.But I was unbelievably impressed.Chris is really something.He sang much better than I remember, and lit that stage on fire.

Elliott joins Chris.Most people who know me also know that I've never been impressed with Elliott.That changed tonight.He was incredible.Oh, and he was wearing a Peyton Manning jersey.HUGE points with this audience.

Honestly, I wasn't that impressed with Patience.It was all right, but not as good as I was expecting.

Now Kat.Kat was spectacular.She was still holding her voice back a tad on BHatCT, but she rocked it.Girl can move, too.Loving that black dress.She was adorkable in her little speech.Kellie had mentioned earlier that she and Kat had sneaked off to pet the goats and other animals.Kat talked about how she'd never been to a fair like this before, and this was her favorite stop of the tour so far.BTW, I heard the country stuff.I get it all the time, so it didn't bug me.

SotR gave me chills.Un-freaking-believable.It was a totally different version than I've ever heard her sing.She nailed it.My mother started crying.The hair on the back of my neck stood up, y'all.

Now for Taylor.An Indiana State Police car drove up to the right side of the audience with sirens and lights blazing.Taylor popped out.He was about three feet away from me.Taylor rocked the house.No other way to describe it.He owned that stage.

Final group number was fantastic.Kat can move.Sorry Kat fans.I was too busy watching to get decent pictures.All of the Idols got love from Indiana.

It was just incredible.Bottom line - I loved the show.It was fantastic.
