heres my review from tonight's pepsi smash!
Yay! Goodtimes tonight! Pepsi Smash was awesome as usual!!!
I went with Brooke, Daniel, Theresa and Jillian! Luckily Jill got a ticket last minute! Viviana was sposed to come… but she couldn’t make it! We missed you girl!
we left the house a lil after 5 and made it to where we were sposed to meet at like 5:45! When we got in line we asked to get the floor tickets and they gave them to us! Yay! We soon got on the bus to go to the studio and made our way to the front of where we were sposed to be waiting, luckily we got pretty close up! After like an hour of waiting we were let in the studio and got the area right next to the middle circle stage! I think it was the best spot to be!
Allison Hannigan (sp?), the girl with the red hair from American Pie and played Willow on Buffy, was the host this time! She was SO nice! Very down to earth and friendly! She came near us a lot and I got to talk to her quite a bit… I complimented her bracelet and she was like “thanks! Lol, none of it’s mine!” and then later she asked me “wasn’t Interpol great?!” I also got her autograph which was cool! She was an awesome host! The best yet I think!
The first act was Simple Plan! They were AWESOME! Seriously… amazing live! And Pierre…. Omg… HOT!! I know I’ve talked about hotties from other Pepsi Smash’s… but he tops them all! They sang “I’d Do Anything” and “Addicted”. And said they’d probably be back later, so we looked forward to seeing them again!
The next act was Michelle Branch! I was kinda thinking she’d be better than she was… cause everyone says she’s amazing. She was really really good! But not one of my fave performances! I thought she was amazing when I saw her at Wango Tango 2 years ago tho! I was looking forward to her the most! People in the audience around me were saying she looked kinda mad/upset so maybe she was having a bad night. She looked really pretty tho and I liked her shirt! She sang “Are You Happy Now”, “Breathe” and “All You Wanted”. I’d defiantly want to see her again in concert!
The next performance was Interpol! They sang “Obstacle 1”. I like the beat but I don’t like the lead singer’s singing style… so I wasn’t a huge fan, but they were pretty good! The thing that was kinda annoying tho is that they had to sing it 3 times… so we all got sick of the song! Lol. The first time one of the guitarists strings broke… the 2nd time his strap broke.
The next performance was Chingy! I wasn’t totally excited about seeing him before I went, but he was my fave part of tonight! Ofcourse he sang “Right Thur” (twice cause I guess the sound was off the first time). He just had such great energy and stage presence on stage (and he looks cute in person)! And he knew how to work the crowd! They spent a great deal of time on the middle stage where we were which was awesome! He grabbed my hand and like most celebs I expected him to shake my hand quick and let go… but he held my hand for atleast 10 or 15 seconds kinda swaying my hand with him and looking at me! I was like dancing with him! It was awesome! I danced with Chingy! Lol. He shock my hand a couple other times during the performance and looked at me a lot (I think it’s cause I stick out cause I’m tall… and I was like right next to him! Lol). Then he came back awhile later to introduce the top 5 countdown and he gave me a high five and smiled and winked at me! I didn’t see him act like this with anyone else… I think we had a connection! Lol, jp jp!
The next performace was Godsmack! They did an acoustic performance of “Serenity” which was pretty cool! And then the lead singer was like “now we’re going to f*cking rock this place!!” and did a performance “Straight Out of Line” (I think that’s the name). they were good. The lead singer is like tiny tho… I was expecting someone bigger with a voice like that! Lol. Brooke says I do a pretty good impression of him singing! Lol
Then… SIMPLE PLAN came back!! Yay!! Their guitarist was funny! Lol, he was pretending to play the flute and then proceeded to pretend to stick it up Allison’s butt… I don’t think she noticed even tho he did it twice! Lol. They sang “Growing Up” and in the middle of the song some people started jumping on stage! Jillian and I did too! It was soooo awesome being onstage like that!! The guitarist was like “I don’t think ive ever had so many people grab my butt… while I was performing before” Then they sang “Perfect” which is going to be their next single! It is SUCH a cute song! And I shook Pierre’s hand like 3 times! And I touched his shoe at a point too! Lol. Omg… I love him! Lol.
ooo... and remember the camera guy i talked about last week? lol, he remembered me! he was like "hey again!" on the way in! and said "goodnight baby" when i left. and i said thanks to Rob and he heard me! lol, i thought he needed some appreciation after fighting with that jerk near us.
Then we went out… and after an hour and a half of waiting to get on a bus we finally made it back to our car. And we were all starving so we stopped at Rallys and ate in the car before driving home! It was an awesome time tonight! My order of fave performances are:
1. tie between Simple Plan and Chingy
3. Michelle Branch
4. Godsmack
5. Interpol
