The Adventure@Pepsi Center, Denver. 4/13/04

                                 "It just drove you crazy, huh"? I have to concur with THAT! "Well just don't head down there if you start feeling like that again," she warned gently. "Oh I won't, I would not want to, that's why I came up here" "You did great" "Can you walk down with me?" "Will you be alright if you go by yourself" "Yeah". In retrospect, these lyrics come to mind "the sinner and the saint fight the battle within" I felt "lighter" as I made my way back down to my seat. For all it's worth, it was a good cry. Speaking of "Cry", Clay started into "When Doves Cry" just as I was returning to my seat. Clay Aiken doing Prince? Whoa!!!!

Now Kelly Clarkson was great to. In a way, her music is better than Clay's (Nobody go gettin' pissed, please!)because it has attitude and fells into the pop genre more than Clay's music. She is more a Pop single while Clay is more a Vocalist. Still Clay looks better! Kelly had the stage set up like it was a living room, with floral print rugs because she performed barefooted. Someone had a sign with "shoes" behind a circle with a slash through it as to say "No shoes allowed". One thing I really liked about Kelly's show was when, during one of her songs, she had pictures of family and friends flashing across the monitors. That was one of the sweetest things I've seen at a concert! As if it was one big living room party and WE were all invited. Aside from doing songs from her cd, she did a kick-butt rendition of a song by Reba McEntire called "Why Haven't I Heard From You". Of course she did Low and Miss Independent and ended her show doing A Moment Like This... The Encore song was Open Arms and though I was told earlier that day that Clay comes out again and sings with Kelly and I had a feeling that this was the song - since he sang it earlier, chills thundered through me and my esctacy went off the charts when I heard his voice break in as she hit the chorus. Immediately after I heard his voice start in, I saw him coming out from the back of my side of the stage. The two wrapped up the show doing a duet.
All in all this was $45.00 well spent. In a way, it was better than Britney's concert not necessarily in the sensation, but in the intimacy of the show. Both Kelly and Clay made the audience an interactive part of the show and trully turned that night into a party! Also, there was great performing without all the raciness. Trully, mothers were not running out of the arena with their little girls in tow as they were at the Britney show.

Now for a confession. I keep getting Kelly Clarkson mixed up with Jesscia Simpson. First of all when I was checking out all the merchandise I saw a Kelly button for $5.00 and thought to my self "I have already have one at home". No, I have a Jessica Simpson button at home! All the while she was singing, even while the pictures were flashing across the monitor screen, I was thinking this was Jessica Simpson until she came out with A Moment Like This. And still even today, I get those two mixed up!
