Idol Finale and Fresno concert review (pics + vid)
So, I was lucky enough to get to attend the American Idol Finale for the 2nd year in a row. Carrie was absolutely amazing and I managed to get a 4th row seat for her performance.
It was funny because as the Gladys Knight video was playing, Carrie's band was setting up. As Jamie (back up singer) walks across the stage and I point her out to my friend and I say "Look, Carrie's band is setting up, she is next!" and my friend points to Jamie and says "There is Carrie" and I looked at him and said "No, thats her back up singer" and my friend says "No, that's Carrie." I just looked at him for a second and then I said "You're really arguing with me about Carrie Underwood? Thats not her!" lol and he goes, "Yeah, you're probably right" and then about 30 seconds later, Carrie walked out onto the stage and I got super excited. I gotta say though, it was a very good thing I had tickets to see Carrie in Fresno the next week cause 1 Carrie song is just not enough.
For about a month prior to this Fresno concert I was trying to get someone to go with me because I got 2 tickets from the presale. Turns out May 28th was just the worst possible day for a concert lol. I asked over 5 different people to go and every single one wanted to go really bad, cause really, who doesn't like Carrie right? haha. But everyone already plans for that day that they couldn't get out of so my mom went with me.
We got to the Save Mart Center around 7:00 and got in the merch line. I got the white Carrie t-shirt with mulitple pictures on it, I love it! Then we found our seats which were row R and about 5 seats in from the catwalk so I was really pleased with our seats.
This was my 10th time seeing Carrie perform live and I just never get sick of it. It seems like she just keeps getting better and prettier every single time. My favorite part was probably the medley of songs from SH because those songs are just classics to me, but of course I loved all the songs she did from CR. There honestly is not one song from either album that I don't absolutely love.
Just like all the other Carrie concerts I have been to, this was amazing and I cannot wait to get the opportunity to see her again.
Below are two videos I uploaded to youtube as well as some pictures. Enjoy.
Thanks for the review, pics, & vids!! I love that skull tank top she's been wearing.

Great review, pictures and videos!!! I still remember your review about Carrie during the Season 6 Finale of American Idol Show when you saw and talked to your high school friend Zac Efron of High School Musical. You and the Finale Audience were in standing ovasion after Carrie's phenomenal performance of the reprise of Carrie's cover of the Prentender's "I'll Stand By You". And there was another Carrie's phenomenal performance of the cover of Beattles' "She's Leaving Home". Although my TOP FAVORITE PHENOMENAL PERFORMANCE of Carrie are "Last Name" of the Season 7 Finale and cover of George Michael's "Praying For Time" at 2008 Idol Gives Back, I could not still forget those two phenomenal performances!!!
