Last night my mom and I went to his concert. I only know a few songs, but I went anyway. Two hours of staring at hotness is worth it in my book. He is adorable, he can sing, and did I mention he is adorable? I did wonder if he ever gets tired of wearing suits. It is like Barney on How I Met Your Mother-always wearing suits. From what I see, he wears a black suit with a black tie. Makes for easy planning and packing I would assume.
When looking for pictures of him for this post, I came across this photo:
The concert began with a group called Naturally Seven. I thought, WHO?! Little did I know, I was about to be amazed. It is an all acapella group that uses their voices to sing and make the sounds of instruments. A-MA-ZING. They did Phil Collins In the Air of the Night song and with his voice, one of the guys did that awesome drum solo. Unreal. I could have listened to them all night. They received a standing ovation and said they would be in Section 104 after the show. I planned on going over there. Of course I forgot my camera. WHAT?! Yes, I, Danielle, forgot my camera. I was one of those people I hate who use their cell phones to take pictures (come on, get a real camera people). When we arrived at the concert, there was a cardboard cut out of MB and I really wanted to get my picture taken with him. My mom said to "get outta here" and kept on walking. I took that as a no. Anyway, back to the group. Bottom line is they were fantastic. Extremely talented. They finished and then MB came on at 9. Did I mention he is adorable? He talked about how he is now engaged, talked to the crowd, was surprisingly funny and incredibly charming (Are you sensing my mad crush on him). He asked if we liked the opening act. Everyone clapped and said, "Good, but that sh*t is expensive. Start passing around the collection plate." Pretty funny. When there was a pause, one woman yelled out, "I want to have your baby!" Another person said, "I LOVE YOU!" to which he replied, "I love you too, stranger." He was very humble and seems genuinely appreciative and surprised that people come to see him. He said he wishes he could let everyone feel what he gets to feel when he is on stage. This of course got me thinking about singing. As many of you know (or all 4 of you who read this blog)-I do not sing. Ever. I may mouth words but I don't sing. This often makes me wonder, what if I am a really good singer? What if I missed my calling (people often tell me I should have acted. Should I have?) This kind of thinking often gets me into funks. Did I really follow my dreams? Is my life what I want it to be or will I have regrets? What if I could have easily blown away the American Idol judges when I was young enough to do so, and right now, I could be on stages all over the world performing for people? These thoughts get my mind racing. Thankfully I had his Royal Hotness to distract me.
I thought it was cool that people were dancing in the aisles. I missed Bryan, and wished he were there so we could do that, but then I realized wait, he does not dance. Of course there were the annoying people, those who would not take their seat and just sat there in the aisle with their drinks, waiting to sit. MOVE IT PEOPLE! There was the one majorly drunk guy flailing (aka dancing) in his seat. Everyone else was sitting. There was the woman in the third room who yelled when NYC was mentioned. She also obnoxiously stood up on her chair several times trying to get Michael's attention (yes, I will call him Michael) as if he is going to stop singing and say oh hey older lady. Let me ditch my fiance and we will get out of here.
My mom was not that impressed with our seats. I don't think she realizes how much concerts cost. There are TV screens that show him perfectly (thank you HD TV) For a concert they were decent. Sure, not fabulous, but do you really need to spend $250 to sit right in front of him? This was the first concert I have ever been to where 95% of the time, people are sitting down. Odd.
After his encore, the show was over and we were headed out. I wanted to go see the opening act so I made my way to Section 104. Surprisingly the line was shorter than I have seen it for Mickey Mouse at Disney World. I got in line, excited to take pictures (on my lame phone) with them-you know, just in case they make it big and I can say yeah, we used to hang back in the day. I made my way through and I turned around to hand my mom the phone only to realize, she was not with me. I got out of line to see her hanging by the trash can. I guess she was not interested. So no picture with cardboard MB, and no pictures with Naturally Seven. Oh well. Dreams often get shattered ;)
The concert was over at 11 and we headed home. I was looking forward to sleep, but Torrin had a high fever and was up all night. He got out of bed at 5:00 and had been up ever since. He told me at 11:30 that he was ready for bed. I put him down and he came down at 12:30. I don't think so. I put him back to bed and I am hoping he stays asleep. The phone just rang so I doubt he will stay asleep.
On another completely random note, Bryan has new neighbors who I believe are Indian. Forgive me if that is politically incorrect terminology. She wears the full dress and has jewels on right now. The weird thing is, every day she is on her deck with her kids, who are always in their pajamas no matter what time of day it is. I would hate to have to get that dressed up while the kids are able to have jammie day all day.
Well, I am exhausted so I am signing off for now. I hope to write more soon about the wedding plans.
