Katharine06idol from katharinefans.com recap |
Well!!! i must say that last night was one of THE most amazing nights EVER! i just love katharine mcphee! ha
N-E-way! we had GREAT seats, and when we got in there, melissa mcghee sat 2 rows in front of me and her mom was right behind me, so we chatted a little--melissa was really sweet. okay okay, moving on to the most IMP. part of the evening--KAT! [Smile]
okay, so i had after party passes, and let me tell you...i was so excited you do not even know! i realized after the fact that i hadn't eaten anything but a breakfast sandwich and 2 diet cokes the entire day and night--but i nibbled on a few crackers on the way home from tampa...ha hey, after Kat was gone, i could focus on other things and i realized i was hungry...haha!
 OKAY, so, first all the rest performed...blah blah...then you hear..."whooo-hoooo" and the crowd goes CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY! i have the video, but it's 113MB and every site will only let me upload 100MB...problem is that it kept recording for about 10 seconds longer than needed, so i am trying to figure out how to edit it and get those 10 seconds off so i can post it...until i do that, it's kat singing BHCT & SOTR and a LOT of screaming in the backround--there is also a little blurb where she is talking about her memories of tampa from when she studied there for 2 summers while in high school. if you want to see it, e-mail me at dreamnbelieve1@aol.com and i will just e-mail it to you, until i can figure out how to edit this thing--i have tried everything that i can think of at this point, so that's the next best option. anyway, when she was on stage, i was so excited that i was seeing her LIVE that i didn't notice how many people were actually freaking out during her performance! she was DEFINITELY well-received in tampa, THAT'S for sure! i DO have a few clips from the finale that i will post however--she looked as if she was hobbling a bit more during the finale, and probably in pain, but she's a trooper and you could BARELY tell the rest of the show that she was in a boot!
okay, SO, after the show, danielle and i went to the afterparty--no kellie and no elliot--both evidently under the weather--kellie didn't perform--laryngitis--doctor's orders--no talking. she WAS at the meet and greet but she left at intermission, or so we were told. right before intermission, bucky brought her out to wave to everybody in her hoodie and sweatpants--she was cute. i am all over the place with this post, huh? ha
okay, so we go backstage and first paris comes in...i am watching...watching...in suspense...where's kat??? in comes mandisa, ace...okayyyyy *tapping fingers on the table, whereeeee is kat?* HERE SHE COMES! yay kat! haha i am a dork. okay, so kat was sitting at a table, for obvious reasons. we made a beeline straight over to her, since obviously that was the only reason IIIII was there! [Smile] she's absolutely gorgeous, flawless, however you want to say, she's it! we chatted smalltalk for a few minutes and we felt like we were hogging her from the others, and she's like, nooooooo, come on now! and kept talking--she was signing, talking, taking pics--she was such a sweetheart! you almost feel like you are pals with them, just chatting about nothing--it was very cool for us, even though they meet like 1000s of fans on this tour. i was trying to be cool of course--i didn't want to see like one of those fanatic freaks that we are all afraid of, so i kept cool...don't remember half of it, but i kept cool...ha i just HOPE i told her what an amazing job she did out there--she is so incredibly talented--it's no wonder she takes her dad's breath away every time she sings--she's simply A-MA-ZING...in every sense of the word...that's truly it. i didn't want to sit there and say, hey kat, did you get this, or that, because i am sure
she has received SOOOOOOO many things from fans, that i just wanted to talk to her, not ask her if she received things from me, ya know? there were so many things i wanted to say, but i don't think i said half of them! ha i thought about them though--after the fact...oh well--hopefully there will be more times in the future to hang and chat with K-Dawg...ha...and next time i will have to make a list! [Tongue]
 I DO have to say, that the security guard that was there--you will NOT be able to miss him if you are going to the concert...he is ALLLLLLLL over her!!! not in a gross way, but just very pushy and authoritative and way too overprotective. i mean it's awesome that they are protected...that kat is anyway...the others were totally on their own, wandering around sitting with fans, chatting! anyway, one girl called a friend and asked kat to talk, and she took the phone and say HEEEY! and then that guard was right on her--she can't talk on cell phones! but about 5 feet away you have ace talking up a storm to some fan on the phone and even recorded a little video clip for another fan who wasn't there. it was just a little odd if you ask me. i was just SO excited to meet and chat with kat, that i was happy. [Smile] she's such a sweet girl--very real--who couldn't love her???? i just don't get that at all!
i think that's all for now...i am just so grateful to have had this opportunity--it was just...A-MA-ZING...did i mention that??? ha
can't wait to read all the rest of the recaps--wish i could be at her homecoming--man that's going to be an awesome show--she'll hopefully be singing everything by then!

Between her songs she explained about her foot and showed off her cast and there was an audible gasp in the audience, I couldn't have made that up. I got the impression that most people didn't know about it (and I don't know how that's possible, it seems like it was all over the news). But maybe they were just saying "awww".
