winter concerts

as i mentioned before the past few months have been jam packed with concerts...i was going to write a separate post for all of them but i feel like that will set me back again...i dont want to constantly be catching up...ya know?!...so im just gonna write something quick about each of them...here we go...
aaron carter
january 19
new york city

this concert was...interesting...haha!...while im not a super fan of aaron carter, i always did like his music...a lot of his old songs are so much fun!...i was expecting him to sing a few of those...he only sang one...ugh!...that was kinda disappointing...so i wasnt super impressed with his show...i would say it was okay...but lets not throw away the entire evening...i really did have a ton of fun at this concert...i gave me a change to catch up with one of my backstreet girls...and we discovered the super talented alexis babini!!!!...omg! he is AMAZING!!!!...he opened for aaron...he was so cute up there with his guitar and harmonica...his songs were great and catchy...in the middle of one song he whispered "dramatic pause"...after that i was sold!...haha!...he said that he would be down by the merch booth during intermission so we went down there...he was so nice!...he made it a point to ask everyone their name which i thought was a nice touch...i also purchased his cd...i listened only that for at least a week straight...its soo good!...i recommend all of you to do a quick you tube search for him...i promise you wont be disappointed!!!!
alexis babini and me <3

nick carter
february 2
new york city

i wasnt sure how i was going to feel about going to this concert...his sister passed away just a few days before this show and there was a lot of controversy over should he or shouldnt he go on with the show...he decided to continue on with the tour and this was the first show since then...i would be lying if i said it was just a normal concert...there was something really special about being there for that show...and i have never heard nick sound as amazing as he did that night (and you people know that I have heard him sing live lots and lots of times...haha!)...most people would probably say that falling down was the best song of the night but i disagree...i would say "i got you" was the most emotional for me...during the song girls started holding up pink hearts...there were so many of them...at the end of the song you could tell that nick was truly touched...he then changed the last words in the song from "got you" to "thank you"...it gave me chills!

philly

little sis and i drove to this concert with anne marie (check out her you tube page for some awesome videos!)...the 3 of us had a blast on the car ride!!!...seeing nick in philly was a lot more relaxed...the atmosphere in the theater was back to normal...nothing like the feeling in nyc...little sis and i went up to the balcony and had a great veiw...it was much better that standing like a sardine in the crowd on the main level...nick sound great and he looked good...minus the hair...im not really feelin the long hair...oh well...haha!..after the concert we went to wawa and met up with laura!...i wish we got to spend more time with her...overall taking the trip to philly for this show was def a good idea...of course i had tons of fun!!!

alexis babini
february 14
new york city

thats right...it took me less than a month to see babini in concert!!!...i went with anne marie (again...haha!)...the concert was at a tiny bar with a small stage in the corner...we sat at the bar which was at the back of the room and the stage was probably about 10 feet from us...if that!...he sang for the full hour that was allotted for him...he also played guitar piano and harmonica...hes so talented...after his set he came over to us to thank us for coming and chatted for a little bit...he didnt have to do that but he did...needless to say he is def one of my faves....i love me some babini!!!...haha! ;-)
it really wasnt a take pictures kinda show...so this is from when he opened for aaron

big time rush
february 17
vegas

my first ever btr concert...i had a ball!!!...i decided to get vip for the concert (with a price tag of $195 i thought it was a bargain!)...i couldnt pass it up...those big time rush boys are just so cute, i had to meet them!!!...ill go into more detail about the vip in a future post...for now ill just say they are super sweet and even better looking in person than on tv!...okay so onto the concert...it was a lot of fun...they have a ton of energy...they were all over that stage...they even had a trampoline and fire poles on the stage...their show was a lot of fun...when it comes to concerts that arent backstreet boys, it takes a lot to impress me (bsb could stand there and pick their noses and id love it thats why they arent included...haha!!!...i also tend to compare others to bsb and say things like "hmm, i wonder who did that before"...haha!)...anyway, i gotta say that i was really impressed with btr!...so much so that im going to orlando tomorrow to see them again...haha!...if you get a chance look up "no idea" live on you tube...watching a video doesnt really do it justice but in person it was truly beautiful...my fav of the night!...
me in the middle of those cute big time rush boys!

also, i have a question for all of you...should i go to geneva in may for NKOTBSB?...i saw the show 6 times last summer...but is that enough?!?

omg i almost died at your comment "bsb could stand there and pick their noses and id love" because i feel the same!!

And yes- you should absolutely go to Geneva. I've already seen the show 6 times and Im going for #7 :)

Alexis Babini is so adorable. It must be nice that is he up and coming because I assume he'd be a ton more accessible than our boys. Perhaps I'll give him a try :)
