Well, this took me longer than I planned but life happens!! So while on vacation Dad and I went to go see Michael Buble while we were in Pensacola, could not have had a better gift for making the President's List!! Once we got to Pensacola we decided to grab something to eat, well we could not find anything. And by that I mean it wasn't we couldn't find anything we wanted we just couldn't find anything: no McD's, Wendys, Burger King, nothing! Well, we finally came upon this place that looked like a seafood restruant; it really was a fish market, very clean place we wish we had been able to buy something while we were there but we had to way nor space to get it back home in a few days. We asked a worker there were we could eat, she named a place and we found it, the wait was 55+ minutes. So between those to places we decided that for dinner people in that area either go to that resturant or they go to the fish market to buy their dinner. Well, after that we found another place, Landry's walked it got seated right then. We explaied to the waitress we were in a hurry we were going to see Michael Buble and didn't know the area (the resturant was right around the corner from the Vicic Center come to find out). That dinner was so good!! It was a bit different then the Ladnry's that we had been to at home. Well, when we left there to head to the concert we found so many different resturants (as we knew we would) it was so funny, one was even across from the Civic Center, we even drove by the Civic Center before we found food thinking places would close to it to eat and so that way we knew where it was, we didn't see any of those resturants the first time around! It was so much fun, there was a group called Naturally 7 that opened for Buble and they were WONDERFUL! Basically, they are a group that makes instrumental noices with their voices and I mean ONLY their voices (of course they use a microphone), when they sing they are amazing and they do it a cappella, that was amazing as well! Dad and I waited after the show to have them buy some CD's that we had bought and they were so nice and down to earth, one of them mentioned that most of them grew up with their Dad singing in a gospel quartet/group. They knew who gave them their gift and talent (God) and were more than willing to talk about it, by looking in their eyes you could tell that they (or at least a majority) were believers.
He was so funny, very appreciative of those that came to the concert and used the money that they need and work very hard for. Well, he delivered on giving everyone a party and a break from life! He sounds exactly like he does on CD's when he sings live! You could tell that he really enjoyed what he did! The concert was so much fun, I would go again in a heart beat!! It was a night full of laughter and wonderful music!! We had such an enjoyable time, would go again in a heartbeat! He did a Michael Jackson impression and I am telling you give him a wig and the correct clothing you would have it! He also talked about how watching Farris Beuler's day out made him want to be a singer. Also as a teenager when everyone was listening to Green Day he was listening to Frank Sanatra but would pretend that he was listening to rock so he wouldn't be uncool or get made fun of. For another song Naturally 7 rejoined him and they walked out into the audience and there was another stage set up at the other end of the arena so that way he was sure everyone felt like they were right there and got their money's worth and where able to be upfront, which I thought was a great idea and showed how much he cared (or whatever you wanted to call it) about his fans! From there he sang "Home"!
The last song he sang as an encore was Song For You!! I love that song (I know, I can and did say that for nearly every song)! The last pary of the song he did without a mic and oh my goodness! We could hear him so clearly, the boy has got some lungs on him!! People in the very back row could hear him from the stage! It was so wonderful!!
I had planned on posting videos, but they weren't working with me! So, hopefully at some point videos will be up so you can enjoy the experience with me!! In the mean time here are some pictures:
