OMF(RICKIN')G!!!!! That was the best concert!!! He
sang for an hour. Here is a list of the ones I remember:
Get Here
Let's Stay Together
What's Goin' On (Yes, the Marvin Gaye one)
Night and Day
Mr. Right (new song!)
Behind the Times (new song)
I Saw Your Face (funky version!)
Easy (dedicated to Brenda Ritchie...I know, weird, right?)
The Married People Song (OMG, I forgot the name of it...it's a famous song
though. Shelley, help me out!!) ["Give It To Me"]
Another 2 songs I can't remember ["All I Do" & "I Can't Help It"]
I went with Shelley, her friend and step-brother. We had a BLAST!! Laughter was
the key word today....as was....people watching. Wow.
Enough about that. The lady that Shelley talked to was at the event and took
Shelley's number so that we could maybe go back and meet Justin before the
actual Meet & Greet...didn't happen. BUT...he did sign autographs/take photos
for 30 minutes before he went onstage and ALSO...stayed afterwards from 6PM to
we don't know when he left because we left. LOL
Details...because I can't think straight right now.
AMAZING, PHENOMENAL video was taken by Shelley's step-brother, Tim, who is my
favorite person right now. LOL He was also our photographer for the day. I got
some pics and video, but he videoed the entire show. I took lots of photos, but
the lighting in the arena blew. I kept taking blurry pics, but I also got some
GREAT photos. Will share as soon as I get home tomorrow.
Justin wore jeans, some black boots and a greenish-grayish-brownish shirt with
an Asian design with like...applique stuff on it. I am not describing it well,
but you'll see it in the pics. I asked him where he got the shirt and he lifted
it up to look for a tag...and I saw....THE HAPPY TRAIL. Frick yeah! He didn't
find the tag (who cares! LOL) but said the Japanese people loved it. Not sure if
he bought it over there or if he had it already.
Shirley, I told him you said hello and reminded him you are the Justin's Journey
lady. He was like "OMG, yeah, she is amazing for doing that. I love that."
When it was my turn in line, I went up and said "Do you remember me?" and he
goes "Yeahh...and looked at me in the eyes and I go "I'm from Fort Worth, Texas"
and he goes "YES!" I probably looked a bit familiar, but I can never tell if he
really remembers me or not. Heh. I got diarrhea of the mouth and just kept
chatting with him...saying "We can't wait for the movie, the album, everything!"
and he goes "Neither can I." He thanked me for coming from so far away and even
autographed my pic (the TV Guide pic) "Thanks for coming so far!"
The second time we went through the line, we decided no autographs...just a
photo of Shelley, me and Emily (Shelley's friend). I said "Justin, could we have
a pic of the three of us with you." and he goes "Sure!" and comes out from
behind the table and stood in between Emily and I. THANK YOU SHELLEY for letting
us be closest to him. You are awesome! I'm blanking on what I said to
him...something along the lines of "The concert was awesome and we loved the new
songs!" Folks....they were TERRIFIC. Also, we made sure it was okay to put
everything online...like the videos and stuff...he goes "Sure. Everything is
copyrighted, so no worries." <---Not exact quote...me paraphrasing.
No Eventually, but he sang 3 (?) new songs. One he wrote fighting insomnia
either on the way to England or IN England. I can't recall. My brain is fried!
The fro, it was a-bouncin'. LOL He shaved off the beard, but still had some
stubble. GAH, he looked hot. Greg Gordon-Smith was there, playing keyboards. New
guy on drums (looked a bit like Shooter Jennings), new bassist (looked like
Ethan Zohn from Survivor) and a lady singing harmony. I can't remember their
names! Sorry!
No Holly.
He was all over that stage. He sang various types of songs and interacted with
the audience a lot. His voice was AMAZING and I teared up at the end of Get Here.
I am blanking on so many things, I just know it.
I had a friggin' blast with Shelley, Tim and Emily. We had fun, laughed lots and
met/saw Justin again. What a great day.
