David and David Concert

I came. I saw. I enjoyed so much.

I was actually worried that I would be disappointed in the concert of the two Davids being that the tickets that we got was only in the Silver section and there were no seats. It was a good thing I enjoyed myself that even with the pain in my legs prior to the concert, I say it was worth the pain.

On our way to the venue itself, I saw a lot of teens and tweens accompanied by parents and guardians. My sister and I were joking that were were also part of that crowd because our mother came with us to watch the concert as well. The last time my mom watched a concert, it was in the 70's before my older sister was even an idea. So she wanted to know what the scene would be like in concerts today. She got to watch the AI last year so she was familiar with the two Davids. And thankfully, she liked David Archuleta that she enjoyed herself watching the little boy as he sings, like a doting mother watching her son perform on stage.

I wasn't shocked by the number of people who went to the concert. I was shocked though that I had seen equal amounts of parents and children in the scene. There were a lot of parents accompanying their daughters and their friends to watch this concert. It was surprising in a good way. And what I like is that even the parents enjoyed themselves.

Being a standing area, we situated ourselves near a big screen and the exit so that it would be able to watch "up close" and would be able to get out if the place becomes too rowdy for my mom. David Archuleta opened the concert with a series of songs that was in his album. His version of Angels was really nice. Like I said, he did the song justice. I hope that Robbie Williams will be happy that there was one artist who sang his song as great as he did. A Vanessa Calton song which he played magnificently, was a bonus. It was a nice song and seeing him play reminds of this Taiwanese artist that I really liked too. :D

When it was time for David Cook, the crowd were a little rowdy. But it was organized chaos. When David Cook went down the stage and went to the barricade to meet the crowd, my first thought was "Where's Becca? I'm sure she's there somewhere." And sure enough, she was. And from her blog entry, she may have died and gone to heaven with that experience.

I was a little disappointed though. My sister and I were hoping that DC and Archie would sing together, like when they sang Heroes in the AI finals. But they didn't. DC didn't sing my favorite song in his album but then again, it would have been weird if he sang it there since it was a slow song in his standards.

But in the end, it was a good night. They sang for two hours (1 hour each) and the crowd loved them both. Though, it was a bit of a long intermission from David Archuleta to David Cook, no one really minded as they were presented with a long fireworks display and DC gave his all eventhough, he was still grieving for the loss of a brother. I sang along with a lot of the music played by both artists, amazed at myself for knowing the lyrics of their songs.

My legs were stiff and really aching by the time we got home but I guess it was worth getting the Silver Section.
