Jessica came out to open the show & the crowd gave her a good reception. She was excellent! Waved to us folks in the cheap seats. Anwar was next, he is handsome, sweet & very appreciative of the audience. Nadia, (one hell of a performer) & I love her husky voice. She was all over the stage running in spike heels! CM...red jacket, black shirt & pants & boots. His 1st 2 songs sounded better on tv. Got a lot of screams from the girly crowd, but Detroit is evidently not a "Constantine town." Nikko only grabbed his crotch once, he's a crowd pleaser with his dancing. He's also another one who acknowledged the cheap seats. Threw his hat to the audience & introduced Scott as "his friend." Detroit loves Scott! He got a lot of cheering & screaming. The little girls next to me nearly broke my eardrum from their screams. The applause for his was in the top 5 in terms of decibels. He came out in his striped polo & baggy jeans with a white towel. We shall revisit the towel later. His singing was perfect & showed no sign of being tired. Scott & Jessica's duet was one of the night's highlights. Then he did his "stand-up comedy" thing about dancing. He looked absolutely at home with it. I looked up at the jumbotron & could tell he was loving the hell out of doing that by the expression on his face! He acknowledged every part of the audience & moved around the whole stage for his last song. Great performance & the audience responded. Vonzell....classy & beautiful. Has learned to deal with her dress so that it doesn't trip her. Sweet, friendly, waves to fans. Unfortunately, she was off-key enough to make me cringe at one point. Maybe it was just me. Anthony....very impressive! Way better now than he was on AI. Talked about hockey. He jumped off the stage & climbed off that metal barrier but he didn't slip off like CM did & didn't miss a note. Bo....the entire place went nuts when he came out! The walls were vibrating! Everyone was standing & screaming! The first thing he said was,"I fell down." Then he said he had learned that at his age, it was "better to be safe than cool." The poor guy was in pain though & it showed in his voice & face. Drank a lot of water (dry mouth from meds?") Carrie...a good reception & was definitely a fave of the little girls ( a better person to look up to than Britney Spears, for sure!) At one point CM found that towel that I believe Scott left onstage, he started twirling it, wiped his face on it & slung it out into the audience. (EWW) Bo lost what I believe was his ring , Jessica picked it up. Scott hurried to help Bo offstage. They had their arms around each other. When everyone was leaving, Scott & Vonzell came out of the stage to sign a couple of autographs. I yelled, "SCOTTY WE LOVE YOU!" & waved like a madwoman. He looked up in my direction & waved.
