Jessica opened the show, much better in person than on tv. Anwar was next, I absolutely love his voice. I really wish he had chosen better songs though. He did build the energy back up though when he introduced the next performer....Constanine. He was fun to watch in person. He was all over the stage. He got at the edge of the stage & someone took advantage of it & got right up next to him while her friend took their picture. He put his arm around her & bent further down to them. He drove the females nuts & he knows how to work the crowd. He made a big deal of wiping the sweat out of his face & chest & threw the towel to the crowd. Nikko was next. He sang Incomplete & did the little talk with the audience like the other idols. He did a lot of dancing & threw his baseball cap to the crowd.
There are as many people who have talked just as bad about Scott as the ones who have had good things to say about him but let me tell you, he has a fantastic voice & he is quite funny. He started with "Against All Odds" & I fell absolutely in love with him. He talked to us a little & Jessica came out across, they sang "Total Eclipse..." it sounded so good I got tears in my eyes. They have a fabulous chemistry. Everyone were laughing a lot when he talked about how much he was looking forward to Texas for the food but he really shouldn't have eaten it. He talked about the gurggling in his tummy & that he should be hurrying up with his last song so as not to offend anybody. Very funny. He also mentioned about the Showstoppers cd had sold more copies than any other year & how proud of that he was. I have gained a new respect for this young man & have become a fan. Next up was Tina, I mean Nadia Trner, Wow. She really rocks. And how she managed to move around the stage with those shoes I will never know. Vonzell was next after the intermission & she looked sexy, sultry & so beautiful in her yellow gown. Her voice is so sweet. Then there was Bo, he sang "Desperado" & it was a good song for him. Then he sang Vehicle, he moved around the stage even with his broken foot (bless this man's heart). Then he did Voodoo child which wasn't my favorite. Of course he ended it with Sweet Home Alabama & the applause he got just went on & on & on...He had to wait a minute or two before it died down & introduced Carrie. She was all over the stage for her performance with the last song she did, "Inside your Heaven" all the idols came out & joined in. According to my sister who never followed much the AI show said that the 1st half, she thinks Scott had the best voice of the show, then Vonzell, Bo & Carrie in that order. Her favorite was still the Scott-Jessica duet.
