Daughtry ROCKS!!!!

Last night was awesome! My cousin Veronica bought me a ticket to go see Daughtry in concert. Now this wasn't just any ticket you see. This ticket was for the PIT which was right in front of the stage. That's right folks, we were in touching distance of the band! It was amazing. The first opener was a relatively new band called Cavo. I haven't really heard of them before except their one big single, Champagne. They were alright. They had a drummer that was yummy. He had wicked hair, an amazing body and he knew how to rock the guyliner! The rest of the band was alright. We had some trouble hearing the singer when he was singing but it wasn't too bad. The next opener was Theory of a Deadman, who were so good I would have paid to see them in concert themselves! They put on quite the show. The twins couldn't get over how cute the lead singer was. It was quite funny. He was funny as well, which adds to the entertainment value of their show. I was able to catch a quitar pick from them, and I was very excited about this. After their set it was time to prep for Daughtry. They pulled a big white sheet down so that we couldn't see the stage anymore. This added to the surprise element when the band came out. They had a really cool light show behind the sheet and then it dropped and there they were! We were so close! Of course as soon as they started singing a couple of girls decided they were going to make a run for the front of the pit. Big mistake girlies. Veronica and I put up our "like fuck you are getting through here" defence and we totally slingshot that first girl back! It was pretty funny. She didn't try to come forward again after that. Although at one point during the show she yelled something about us not being able to get a good picture when Chris went back towards where she was standing. But, umm...stupid girl we are still at the front and you aren't! LOL. We got some amazing pictures. The concert itself was so awesome! They had pyrotechnics and a wicked light show. The music was fantastic of course! Chris is and amazing singer. I was so happy because we were on the side that put us right in front of Steely, whom I adore! He was such a ham for the crowd. He totally posed for pictures for us and everything!!! He was so cute. Joey (the drummer) was dressed like the policeman from the Village People and he was putting on quite the show! They were awarded their second platinum album by the record company too! It was so awesome to be a part of that!
Of course today there was an article about the concert in the Toronto Sun and the reporter that wrote it was very critical of the band. She had big props for Chris but she said the rest of the band was not needed. I completely disagree with her! If she had been watching the concert from where I was standing she would have seen that people love the rest of the band just as much as they love Chris. Perhaps she is bitter because her newspaper didn't get her good enough seats? perhaps if she had been in the PIT where all the cool people were standing she would have enjoyed the show a little bit more. This band is going places. They are FANTASTIC!

Thank you thank you thank you thank you Veronica for buying me that ticket!!!!!
As soon as I have my pics uploaded I will add some pics to this blog, I promise!
