I went to the Providence show last night Finally, I got see my favorite entertainer on this planet! Unfortunately, I didn't have meet and greet passes or invitation to the afterparty. I gotta say, I went to the Worcester show at the beginning of the tour, and the Idols really refined their skills over the summer. Kat wasn't at the Worcester show, which made it all the less exciting for me.
Needless to say, I was there for the moment I'd been waiting for since tix became available for the tour. She was at the top of the stage, and then, "two, three, four"! The crowd received her very well, she got everyone to sing with her. She's such a doll!! Then she sang "Think", and got everyone to start dancing, Kat can really move and dance. She's got such great stage presence. Then she told us that she battling a cold, and apologized for not being able to hit certain notes. I noticed it in Think, that she couldn't hit a certain note, but she recovered from it quite well. She's absolutely beautiful. She sang " Over The Rainbow" extremely well. The crowd gave her a standing O, very well deserved.
I think I was the only one there with the orange glowsticks, I had ten of them, and me and Sandi(my girls mother), gave a few out to the people sitting near us. They were very thankful, and happy we gave them out. I could see the whole Arena, and didn't see any glowsticks like ours. After the show, I saw a couple of girls wearing Kat t-shirts, so we gave them our last glowsticks, and they were surprised that complete strangers were giving them something, and very thankful. I tried to hang around after, where the buses were, but security was trying to get people away from there. I heard the crowd roar a couple of times, but couldn't see who was getting on the bus. So, I didn't get to see my Kat up close. I've come to realize that my luck hasn't been too good when it comes to trying to see Katharine. I had fantastic seats for the Worcester show, (3rd row center), but she wasn't there, had tix for Hartford, she wasn't there, and finally, the tour comes around to Providence, and I almost didn't make it there. I would've loved to have gotten in to see her, but I don't have special connections, nor do I know which radio station was giving out passes. I'm just glad that I did get to see her perform live.
Honestly, I will be happy when Katharine McPhee is the headline of her own tour. That is what I relly want to see.
