I'm not a die hard American Idol fan. I've watched only two seasons faithfully. Each season I give the old college try and more times than not I lose interest. Some seasons are just better than others but in the end I try to keep up with who is eliminated each week and who becomes the ultimate winner - The American Idol.
The 2012 season was not my favorite and certainly not a season that prompted me to spend my hard earned money on tickets for the tour but when a call from my 14 year old daughter came at 5:30pm on a Sunday not saying "Mom I have free tickets to see American Idol and the show starts at 7:00pm, how could I say no.
The top 10 "Idols" were talented for sure. They performed individually, in groups and duets. I enjoyed watching each and every one and have to say that it was a lot of fun to see them perform live rather than on TV.
Of course, my favorites from season 2012 were still my favorites live. Colton Dixon and Skylar Laine. Of course they would be my favorites as my personality is split right down the middle between rock and country, I like to say that I'm a rock and roll girl with a country heart. Colton and Skylar did not disappoint. I personally loved Colton's rendition of Billy Joel's piano man and Skylar rocked it out to Miranda Lambert's Gunpowder and Lead as well as Rod Stewart's stay with me.
There was a good variety of hits, something for everyone.
Though I'm not a fan of Hometown Girl, Erika Van Pelt, the crowd predictably went crazy she performed. Don't get me wrong, she's talented, but her style is not for me.
The other highlight of the evening is when Elise Testone performed Led Zepplin's Whole Lotta Love, she did justice with her version.
Philip Phillips and runner up Jessica Sanchez performed a duet and I couldn't help but think that the two of them should have sang Brad Paisley's Whiskey Lullaby. Their voices are perfect for that song.
All in all it was a fun show, good for all ages. . . That's my opinion.
