I went to the performance part of the show (which means I didnt see Paula but its okay i'll have another chance hopefully). Me & my friend went as seat-fillers & we actually got to stay for the whole show. We waited inline for like 5 hours & it took us 2 hours to get there, so we were totally relieved that we didnt have to leave in the middle of it lol we were both right above the floor on the side where the stars exited near.. it still boggles my mind how we got to sit in 150 dollar seats for free
Being in that audience was seriously the most incredible experience I have ever had.. I must've cried a million times during the show, even Ellen looked like she was gonna cry (btw i loooved Ellen, it was surreal to see her in person). I was balling when Josh Groban sang with the Africa choir kids, that was the most touching performance for me. Annie Lenox made me tear up a lot also I love her now. Ill Divo (sp?) TOTALLY surprised me at how amazing they are live.. I was never a fan of them, but i was in total awe during their performance. If you guys have a chance, definitely go check them out. Now I know why Simon loves them so much. Kelly.. that girl is just amazing loved her & cant wait to see her again next month.
And during Paula's thing I was balling as well.. that is until she went up on stage. When she went up, all of a sudden our audience like FREAKED out, and kind of laughed because of her umm boobs if im allowed to say that lol. the whole place was just like whoa i dunno how to explain it really. i dunno if Paula found out about it, but I felt really bad for her cuz the whole audience gasped (even me a little). maybe cuz we saw it on the big screen i dunno if that made a difference lol that kind of sucked
but either than that, by far the most inspirational thing i have ever been to. i'll never forget it, i wish you guys all could've been there i really do.
