Nuevo Mensaje de David

David Checks in from the road:

Hey everyone. It's David checking in from the road. We're in Texas for our 2 smallest shows capacity-wise haha. I was able to watch American Idol since we have tivo on the bus! I am really impressed with the people they have this season. Some of the performances that stood out to me were Adam Lambert's and Danny Gokey's performances. I also really liked Matt Giraud's performance. There were honestly a lot of good ones haha. Allison Iraheta blew me away with her voice. I can't believe she's only 16! I'm really looking forward to what else she is going to do. Then Alexis Grace's performance of Dirty Diana I thought was really cool too, even if Simon said it was a little too much. I liked how you could tell she was really getting into it. Ok I know that I could keep going on with everyone's performances because I really liked a lot of them as you could tell haha. But I don't want to ramble on either, since there are a lot of people to talk about. Black or White and Human Nature are 2 of my favorite Michael Jackson songs, so I was really happy to hear those. I guess I'll focus on those 2 then, even though it's not like I've picked any favorites, you know? I'm probably not making much sense. But anyway, I agreed with Simon on what he said about Adam's song. Even though people think he can be a little over the top, he needed that to pull off Black or White. I think he did awesome, and definitely grabbed everyone's attention. That's what you need to do, and that's what he did lol. For Matt's performance it was the first time I had ever seen him perform, and I thought it was awesome how he played piano with that soulful vibe he has to him. It wasn't as big and powerful as some of the other performances, but I think it showed who Matt was and what he was all about really well. He did a good job making the song his own, and I just love that song lol. Well I'd like to go on about each person, but I just don't want to go on not making much sense. So I'll try and write about some of the performances that stood out to me next week. I'm excited to see everyone perform next week! Oh, before I finish I just wanted to say it was cool to see Kanye and Kelly perform during the results show. I love Kanye's creative mind and how he experiments with things. He and Michael Jackson are like geniuses with music in my opinion. With Kelly, she is just an amazing singer and I love her single lol. Fun stuff.... Well I'm going to head out now, but I'll talk to you guys later.

Song for the day: Along with Black or White and Human Nature, I'm going to add Man in the Mirror. There are so many great Michael Jackson songs really, but Man in the Mirror is one that just hits you hard and really gets you thinking. It's one my little brother used to sing when he was little haha.
