GLEEEEEE!!!!

while it's fresh in my mind i wanted to blog about glee! oh my goodness! twas amazing!! i saw the set list a few days ago and some of the songs i wasn't too happy about and was super sad that they left out some of the good ones.. but honestly every song was AMAZING!! plus, they even did a few songs that i wasn't expecting them to do and that made it even better! the only bad thing i can say about the show was it was supposed to start at 7:30 and at 7:30 there was a 30 minute dance number by some dance crew in LA and they weren't really that great.. i dunno.. wasn't impressed! then after that we had to wait another 30 minutes for the glee stuff to start! some of the highlights from where i sat was we could see backstage a little and i got to see artie, rachel, sam, and mercedes before the show even started! OH! also, the girl who plays becky was sitting near our section.. like i was in second 219 and she was in 220! tons of people were storming her for pictures and autographs but i felt bad and didn't want to bug her so i didn't.. although it would have been cool! she seemed super nice and sweet!

Some of the favorite things about the show was that it started out with them obviously singing don't stop believin' and instead of them doing the version where everybody gets to sing, which in my opinion isn't as good, it was just rachel and finn!! it was so good and i have to say i was pleasantly surprised with finn's voice! i really think that they worked with him and trained him since i know when he first started on glee he wasn't that great of a singer. actually, the only person that i think lipsynched tonight was brittany when she sang slave for you! also, i kind of have to say the singer i was most impressed with was artie! he was amazing!! he seriously has such a good voice and when he danced in safety dance it was awesome!! some of my favorite moments were when finn sang jesse's girl! he did a pretty good job, but i kind of think they turned up the music super load to drown him out a little bit! as most people know i love me some finn and throughout the concert i would watch him and he was always doing something funny and dancing along! speaking of things that i thought was cool about the people.. brittany and rachel were the best at interacting with the crowd and waving which i thought was really sweet! okay, back to the good songs! i loved when rachel sang firework.. and they had actual fireworks on stage which were pretty awesome! one thing that i loved that i wasn't expecting was kurt doing the single ladies dance! it was awesome! also, when i saw the set list the other day it didn't show them singing new york, which is one of my favorite songs from this past season and when they sang it i started to freak out! i did whip out my camera, but sadly i missed the part of finn rapping! it was pretty shweetest! my other favorite surprise moment was when the guys sang friday! when we drove up i told rey that i really hoped they would sing it.. and they did!! ahh! i can't wait to see this again in theatres this summer.. is that lame?!

anywho! i could go on and on but i think i should stop for now.. i will update with videos and pictures tomorrow! the videos turned out decent.. but the lighting for the pictures wasn't always the best.. oh wells! also, we were pretty close to the stage and the pictures just don't do it justice..

peace in the middle east,
