After being stuck in the holiday, Friday 5 o’clock, Charlotte traffic for an hour and a half, we arrived at The Filmore. A lot of things were going in the parking lot and the entrance lines, protesting, cops and all kinds of good stuff. We finally get into the venue with the other 2,000 fans, (reminder The Filmore capacity of tickets/fans it will hold is 2,000) but much to my surprise we weren’t packed in there like a can of sardines, I ain’t saying that it wasn’t tight because it was. Right at 8pm Allison Iraheta took the stage, I didn’t even recognize her. She has lost a bunch of weight but hasn’t lost the distinctive voice of hers that we all fell in love with on Idol. She had a very short set; the time that she was on the stage Allison owned it. I honestly think she stole the show right out from under Adam. Halfway thru her set she sang her newest single, “Don’t Waste the Pretty” and brought Orianthi out to play guitar on the single and it was awesome! Allison ended her set with her debut single “Friday I’ll Be Over You.” Set change took place; they really took their time doing the change. Then we began to hear the evil laugh from Michael Jackson’s thriller, Orianthi took the stage by storm. All I can say about her is AMAZING, and she sure can play the guitar. When she sang “According to You” the audience went into a craze and really rocked with her. She finished her set with her newest single “Shut Up and Kiss Me.” After an hour set change, Adam’s “For Your Entertainment” played thru out the venue and the crowd went ballistic. He stepped up on the stage and belted song after song. What was the coolest thing about his set is that he would talk and explain the songs and it showed his appreciation to music and how it is written. He played a 4 song acoustic set including his hit single “Whataya Want from Me?” I enjoyed the acoustic set because it proved that it was really him singing and it wasn’t a recording. Adam had a 12 song set, including “Ring of Fire”, “Voodoo”, “Fever”, “Music Again” and “Strut.” He ended his set with the current release from his debut album, “If I Had You” it was the best song he did all night. This was a great show, but I was kind of disappointed that the opening acts really stole the show from Adam; the girls really rocked it out. And as always Please Enjoy the Show.
