American Idol Live! 2012 Tour - Bridgeport VIP Meet and Greet - Photos

Here are my pictures from the American Idol Live! 2012 Tour in Bridgeport VIP Meet and Greet.

I was very happy to get a picture with Phillip Phillips and Joshua Ledet! I introduced myself and both Phillip and Joshua recognized me. What a thrill!

Erika Van Pelt, Heejun Han, Hollie Cavanagh, Colton Dixon and Elise Testone were also very cool. Elise even rubbed my shoulders as she went backstage when the Meet and Greet finished! Ack!

I couldn't get a solo with Colton because we ran out of time, but I was beside him during the group photo!

Jessica Sanchez was not in the Meet and Greet due to prior commitments, and I couldn't get to Skylar Laine in time.

This really helped a lot in overcoming my trauma of Meet and Greets past on American Idol. As some of you know, I was flagged by security in Season 5 and my camera was erased, in Season 7 I was literally dragged out of the Meet and Greet by security in front of Carly Smithson, and in Season 8 my press pass was revoked last minute when the tour manager saw my name on the list. This of course was happening while I kept getting e-mails from 19 Entertainment thanking me for all the support I've given to the show in writing and promoting them non-stop. It's been really traumatizing and I actually had a panic attack earlier this afternoon. Thankfully, nothing bad happened to me this time.

I've also gone full circle. The first Idol tour I watched was in Bridgeport.
