For the very first time I saw him on American Idol there was this connection. I knew from the moment that I saw him that he was special and I was right. Before Scott sang, I fell for him. I knew I was suppose to vote for him. This was before he sang too. After hearing his voice, I was even more amazed, an angel singing right there on the television.
The overwhelming gut feeling, the connection led me to the Internet. This is when I looked for any & everything about Scott Savol. I just needed to know more & more & just so badly wanted to tell him that I just want to be your friend. That I know it's meant to be only that, nothing more nothing less, just a friend.
When I found out that Mama & Aunt Janet was setting up for us to be able to come to the concert in Cleveland & the BBQ I knew come high to hell water I was going to be there. I had to take that opportunity to tell Scott how great he was. How much by him just being up on that stage every week singing his heart out for all of us made such an impact in my life. Gave me something to look forward to each & every week. Just to thank him for pursuing his dream & by his dream coming true he helped so many other people.
When I met him, Oh My God! I was so right. He is so special. Eventhough he was just like the rest of us down to earth, just hanging out. But when the time came for me to talk to him & tell him thank you & let him know how much he is the best. He was so sincere when he said, "Thank you." When you spoke to him, he looked at you in your eyes & you can tell he was letting each & every word you spoke soak in & he actually listened. He didn't just hear your words, he listened to them. That is what I loved.
This whole experience for me is just so unbelievable. There are no words on the face of the earth that can describe what all of Scott means to me. It's not just Scott but it's the whole family that are wonderful. And I will continue loving Scott's music for years to come. And I will continue my friendship with his family. THANK YOU SCOTT FOR EVERYTHING!!!
