American Music Awards

I looked for a color with glitter and glitz but couldn't find one.  LOL   Cari went to the American Music Awards last night as a seat filler.  Woohoohoo.  She had an amazing time.  This year she spent 80% of the evenng in the second row behind the Pussycat Dolls.  (I won't even pretend to know who they are but I guess to the hip crowd, they are hot.)

Before the show began, the seat fillers are in a holding area and because she and her friend were one of the first to arrive, they were at the front of the group and got to see all the Big Stars as they were escorted through the holding area to their seats.  She got to see the following personalities up close:

Beyonce, Carrie Underwood, Josh Groban, Jamie Foxx, Jay-Z, Flava Flave, Tyrese, Frankie J, Ashlee Simpson, Cheetah Girls, Pussycat Dolls, Christian Slater, Taylor Hicks, Clay Aiken, Katherine McPhee, Gwen Stefani, Brian McKnight, Chris Brown, JC Chasez (the N'Sync heart throb), Snoop Dogg, Carmen Electra, Ryan Seacrest, Fall out Boy, Paris Hilton, Nickelback, Linkin Park, Gavin Rossdale (Gwen Stefani's husband), Rascal Flatts, Mary J Blige, Nelly furtado, The Game (rapper), Jesse McCartney, Dixie Chicks, and William Shatner.  She also got to see Greys Anatomy stars, Justin Chambers who plays Dr. Carey, the actress who plays Addison, and Isaiah Washington who plays Dr. Burke.

So if you are star struck, you would have had a great evening.  She was especially thrilled to see JC Chasez of N'Sync.  She got to say hello to him and she said she was that 14 year old love sick teenager all over again.  She had such a crush on him back then.  She said that Jamie Foxx was especially nice and said hello to everyone and she said his performance was outstanding.

She was so amped up when she got home that her feet were barely touching the ground.  It was so much fun because the show was still on TV when she got back and she was able to point herself out on the screen a few times.  How strange to see her on TV and have her right there at the same time. 

She was able to score a program and a few seat labels for her collection.  Seat labels are tags with the stars name on them that are taped to chairs to show them where to sit.  After the show, she was able to take a few for her scrapbook.  I'll have to ask her whose she picked up.

Don't ask me who won any of the awards.  LOL   I don't have a clue.

Bet Cari had the time of her life lastnight, I have only heard a few of the names you mentioned, but only because I have heard my daughters play their music ( if you can call it music now~a~days) its something for her to remember in years to come when she is looking back through her scrapbook
take care Lynne xx
