American Idols Live Tour - Rickey Report - Chicago - 07/19/08

(Here's Stephanie's Rickey Report from Chicago! We're not angry at you Stephanie, you were awesome!)

Sorry I had such a crappy cellcast last night, I figured it would be horrible when I looked up and we were directly under a speaker-hope you guys don't hate me!! Great seats to watch-horrible seats for cellcast!
Anyway, the afternoon busses went well, got pictures/autographs of Michael, Jason, Brooke, Carly, Kristy Lee, Ramiele, & Syesha (LOL) When Syesha got close to us I yelled "We love you Syesha!" to which I sort of got a death stare-not kidding-that was cold LOL.. Someone asked her if she was having fun on tour and she said yeah It's ok, I'm tired-or something to that effect. The others were wonderful-Michael took FOREVER to get through the crowd, he was really interacting with us and having fun. Archie came out at the very end and started at the opposite side of where we were, so all we got was a handshake as he ran by to go inside. Cook was in press all afternoon (BIG bummer!) and Chikeze-not sure we ever got an explanation of where he was...
The show itself was WONDERFUL...Not sure if you guys were able to hear but Syesha had no sound from her microphone throughout her entire 1st song..KARMA BABY!!! They got it fixed and she did put on a good show. Michael, Jason, Archie and Cook of course were the highlights. The busses afterward was a madhouse, David Cook finally came out, but only had about 15-20 min to go through, so I unfortunately didn't get his autograph, or any good pictures, same with Archie he was really rushed, so got a handshake as he ran by again..so that was a big bummer!! I will go to another show-I have a David Cook shirt that has 7 autographs on it-but not his LOL!! Hey it gave me an excuse to see another show anyway! Hopefully will have better luck next time..
Here are some of the better pictures I got..
