This is REALLY good! His voice sounds wonderful and it is extremely close up from 1:25 on! Listen to the screams at the falsetto! And, at the beginning, I think after he says "hellooo", he says something like "what's everyone looking at me for" or something cute -- maybe I imagined it. Can someone hear what he says?

Well, I don't have a lot of time...I hafta check out of my hotel eventually...BUT...
For those of you unable to go super early to see them get off the buses, etc, THERE IS HOPE!!!
So I had planned on finding the "big crowd" and waiting it out AFTER the show in hopes that I might at least catch a glimpse of him on the way to the bus. Well, it was "crazy" but great--they actually had a designated barracaded area where there were already gobs of people waiting when I exited the building. Eventually...Kristy Lee came out and started signing stuff. She was the only one out for a good 20 minutes...and I just KNEW that Jason would appear next. I was right!!!!! I have a bunch of close up pics...but they're still on my camera... It was a bit of a madhouse--I don't think I could have gotten up close to the rail even if I were the pushy type...so I had to just wave my Jason picture (bought at the show) hoping and praying that he'd at least grab it and sign it. Eventually he did!! It was no easy task, however...I had to keep kinda following him and making my way close enough to at least reeeeeach toward him. A lot of people were getting quick pictures with him--those lucky girls! My advice? Be sure to get out of your building early and look for a place where they may just have an area with a little fence thing..and some security people.. You really wanna be right up to the fence, because the people who were lucky enough to get up there weren't giving up their spots for a moment! (Funny thing is, eventually I did manage to get right up there...once it started clearing out a bit...I could've gotten my picture with a bunch of them...but I didn't. I only care about Jason...) I honestly think that Jason had the most attention during this signing session than anyone...wow. SO, my advice, again...get out of there asap after the show and wait! Whoop!!! (Pictures and more stories later!)
Here are a select few pictures of the show and the after show signing!!!
AND, here's a link to my video. It isn't great...I was VERY focused on Jason, and the camera was definitely not my priority, but the sound isn't bad. And during 'Crazy' (2nd half of video) I kinda got him on the big screen and in person--kinda cool...check it out if you like!

That was one of my favorite performances of this ... and I think the first time I've ever seen him sing this with dreads down (or snakes flying!). What Jason lacked compared to the other idols is experience, and with experience comes confidence. He's picking up confidence in spades with each and every stop. Can't wait for Wilkes Barre to see how far he's come (Sept 8!)

Seriously though, in the beginning, it looks like he looked right into the camera and smiled for us! Awesome!
And Omg, he does it again at 2:20! Thanks for the vid!

It's so funny ... whenever he sings SOTR he's all serious and has his dreads pulled back. But whenever he lets his dreads fly, his personality always opens up. Must be psychological (or perhaps I'm over analyzing once again ... darn financial background!)

I saw this video, posted at Castrocopia. This is the best one I've seen yet. The quality is so good, and I love the close-ups. I posted a comment to Livehead, the person who put the video up, and told her this. I also said that I love how Jason never sings the a song the same way, he is getting better and better, everytime I hear him. He looks so relaxed, and confident. And I love his dreads all loose like that. It's sad about "Date Night", but these stories, pictures, and videos, are satisfying my Jason addiction.

Interesting. I hadn't noticed that. Did he have his dreads down for Fresno, but pulled back for Glendale and San Diego? Hmmm. Maybe he is more comfortable with them down.

Well, I was just too overwhelmed with excitement/trying to keep a spot as close as possible to the fence that I wasn't really paying attention to time. But, it was actually less time than I expected. I left the building promptly after the show and waited...about half an hour, I think, before KLC came out. As I mentioned, it was probably another 20 minutes or so before Jason (basically immediately followed by the rest) came out as well.
I have pictures that I'll add to the first post! (And yes, fluff, do whatever you wish with my stuff!)

I was at the Fresno show also. And I have a reminder for everyone before their show....don't forget to re-charge the batteries in your cameras. Because I did. Ack!
We were lucky enough to get seats in the 8th row. Right after the intermission, several people went right up to the railing around the stage, and since I knew Jason was coming up next, I joined them. I was able to stand right in front of him for about half of SOTR, and then we had to go back to our regular seats.
Like Amasetta said, he did notice posters. I saw one of the posters that was posted on his myspace, and after he finished singing, he pointed to it and said "I recognize that sign". Then during the end group number, I held up my sign and he pointed to it and smiled. YAY!
We also stayed around afterwards for autographs. It was pretty crazy. The area that was barricaded off was already about 3 people deep, and no one was giving up their spot. Remember to bring something that they can sign, because I saw people having their cell phones and cameras signed.
I kept moving around trying to get Jason's autograph, but wasn't having any luck. Finally, there was a little break in one area, so I just held my poster out and hoped that he would sign it. He saw it and said "Yeah!" (kinda like the Bob Marley yeah) and signed it.
We finally got to our car at about 11:45, and they were still out signing. I have no idea how long they stayed there.
I wish I could include a copy of my poster, but I'm kind of a spaz and don't know how to do it! It had a heart and a picture of Blaker's cartoon Jason.

YES!!! I nearly mentioned that, actually... For some reason seeing him close up it was just more...obvious how VERY long they really are! And I could see his little whispies! And curlies! I love his dreads! I tried to take a picture of them from the back...lemme see if I can find it...eh, never mind. My pics from the back aren't great--you either can't see the end of the dreads or it's just a weird angle that wouldn't really suit this purpose...

We were there!!!
Meeting Idols :
My 14-year old daughter and I started our morning by decorating our car with all kinds of Jason related messages (We heart Jason, Jason is our idol etc.) We also made a beautiful poster, making sure EVERYONE knew who OUR idol was. Had so much fun doing this and we were full of happy anticipation about the day ahead of us.
We left midmorning and had a 31/2 hours drive ahead of us to Fresno. Nothing like a road trip to really "connect" witht he kids
.
The truly amazing thing was that when we were driving up to the parking lot, I told my daughter "how awesome would it be if the idols came out to sign autographs as we arrive?".
As soon as we turn into the parking lot, we noticed a small group of people standing near the entrance and it turned out it was a group of fans with some of idols!
We got to meet and take pictures with Carly, Brooke, Sayeesha, David Cook and Michael Johns. After the
David and Michael were done, the security guard told us that no one else would be coming out because they were doing press. Some of us stood around for a little while, but my daughter and I decided to leave and get lunch when the guard threatened to call the police if we didn't leave.
It turned out to be a BIG mistake because we learned from other fans afterwards that Jason and David Archuleta came out to meet fans right after we left...
The concert :
We were so lucky to be seated in row L by the middle pathway, 4 rows away from the center stage catwalk and we had a fantastic view. We enjoyed the whole show, but the highlight was when Jason came on after the intermission.
He looks so incredibly handsome and he sounded amazing. His "gig" was a real breath of fresh air after some of the previous idols' very loud and heavy on the base and electronics performances. He sounded every bit as good as on his recordings. Contrary to the other contestants, he didn't prance around on stage, but it was perhaps that very fact that made him have total command of his performance. There was nothing else to distract from watching him and listening to him sing. Both my daughter and I were mesmerized and we wholeheartedly indulged in screaming and cheering for Jason at the top of our lungs. We loved every single moment of his performance.
Trying to meet Jason after the concert:
When we got to the barricaded area where the idols were supposed to come out and meet fans, people were already standing 4 or 5 rows deep from the fences. Kristy Lee Cook came out first and people just went nuts with pushing and trying to get her attention. After a while, we decided to leave - without meeting Jason from up close -, but still grateful for a wonderful day and a great concert.
We did meet a few very nice fans.
The good news :
Although we didn't get to meet Jason in person in Fresno, we're going to see the show again on Tuesday in San Jose and we ain't leavin' there without a pic with and an autograph from Jasonnn

Plenty of people said about it spoiling the studio recording when it came out, I'm just bummed they've introduced it into his live performance now as well, I much prefer listening to the recordings where Jason sings live without them. I'm sure they're lovely singers and feel horrible for saying it, it's not really about them though. I even like angelic-type sounds on some music sometimes, but this seems OTT and sounds unatural/over produced. It takes away from the simplicity and 'natural/genuine' vocals that Jason, that I love. Oh Well, so long as he doesn't have them singing all over his album, I'll cope I guess lol! ;D

Had so much fun doing this and we were full of happy anticipation about the day ahead of us.
It turned out to be a BIG mistake because we learned from other fans afterwards that Jason and David Archuleta came out to meet fans right after we left...
OUCH!! :-\

The concert :
We were so lucky to be seated in row L by the middle pathway, 4 rows away from the center stage catwalk and we had a fantastic view. We enjoyed the whole show, but the highlight was when Jason came on after the intermission.
He looks so incredibly handsome and he sounded amazing. His "gig" was a real breath of fresh air after some of the previous idols' very loud and heavy on the base and electronics performances. He sounded every bit as good as on his recordings. Contrary to the other contestants, he didn't prance around on stage, but it was perhaps that very fact that made him have total command of his performance. There was nothing else to distract from watching him and listening to him sing. Both my daughter and I were mesmerized and we wholeheartedly indulged in screaming and cheering for Jason at the top of our lungs. We loved every single moment of his performance.
The good news :
Although we didn't get to meet Jason in person in Fresno, we're going to see the show again on Tuesday in San Jose and we ain't leavin' there without a pic with and an autograph from Jasonnn
love your story! good luck meeting him in San Jose and bring us some pictures!
;D

I've got more Jason pics from Fresno. These are from the jumbo screen during the concert. They're not the best quality, but I think he looks great!

So I’ve been asked a few times about this pic and the story behind it. I obviously waited after the show to meet him and when he finally made his way over to where I was standing, he was pretty much occupied by just signing all the stuff that was being thrown in his face. I only wanted to take a picture but he said something to me like, “You want me to sign anything?” And I said, “I’d just like a picture, please!” He said, “Sweet!” and held that face until I got my shot. He could not have been any nicer. It was so exciting meet him and then have him live up to all his hype. He truly is wonderful!
(I am still amazed that there was no red-eye in the pic considering how amazingly blue his eyes are!)

Post by: suprgirl3142 on July 07, 2008, 01:41:35 PM
Hey all! Well I dont even know where to start.
We got to the Save Mart Center around 11am. My friend Jess and I . I got a call from Emilys mom (Amasetta's) and we talked for a bit. She was gonna sell her ticket. I couldnt buy it, sorry I didnt have any extra money.
So we went and got something to eat, and arrived back around 12:30 which was just in time cause all three tour buses pulled up. They pulled down into the parking lot, and we all rushed the grass and tried to get pics....so I managed to zoom my camera all the way in , and got Jason going into the venue. I was screaming my head off.
Then at about 1pm, we see Brooke and Kristy coming up the driveway to meet us. We all ran over their.....Brooke and Kristy were hella nice. Brooke wasnt talking to save her voice, and Kristy complimented me and Jess on our nails. So we got pictures with them. Then a few mintues laytor, Carly and Seyesha came out. Carly brought out brownies to share with everyone. Seyesha wasnt talking either. So we got our pictures with them. Then about 20 mins laytor, I think Michael Johns and David Cook came out. People went nuts. My sister included. I had her on the speaker phone, cause she wanted to see if I could get David to say hi to her. So we were standing their talking to Micahel, and he heard my sis ask where David was? And Michael goes, Im right here....so we started laughing, and michael grabbed my phone and started talking to my sis. Then we walked over and waited our turn to talk to David. He said hi to my sis, and signed my shirt for her. I didnt get anyones autographs, cause all I had was my Jason shirt. So we got pics with them. Then I dont really remember the order after that. But the rest of them came out , minus Jason and Chikezie.
Then , the best moment of my life, I see JASON walking up the ramp along with Chikezie yelling at him saying wait up man! So I start shaking and basically freakin out. Chikezie came right up to me and my friend jess first. I told my friend Jess, shrimp man, im shaking, and Chikezie grabs me , and gives me a huge bear hug, and puts his head on mine....their ya go babe. feel better....and I was like actually yeah thanks......
MOMENT OF TRUTH!!!! ;D Jason walks straight up to me, cause he sees my blue Jason shirt, and says hey hows it going?! I keep my cool, and say hot, but doing better now that ur here. He kinda does his whole smile thing, and asks how to spell my name, so he puts " Hi, Danae" and a little smiley face with dreads and his siggy. The whole time Jess was snapping pictures. Then Jess hands me the camera, and i take her picture, and he signs her shirt. Then I really dont remember what we talked about all that much, except I asked him about the myspace video blogs , and why AI was being gay about it, and he said he is just going to have to figure something out , cause he doesnt want to leave us (DREADHEADS) hanging. Then I asked him to sign my phone and then he did, and then I took another pic with him. ( on a side note, i wanted to kiss those lips of his so bad!
)
ALL in all it was FRIGGIN awesome!!! Seriously Jason was the nicest one out their, and Chikezie was my next favorite. Believe it or not, Archie was nice, but he was the only one with a bodyguard, so he was kinda holding back.
During the concert our seats kinda sucked, because I couldnt really see the stage that well, but I didnt care cause I had my coveted Jason pic in my purse already. When he came out, he recognized my sign I think, cause it said CRAZY 4 CASTRO. I told him about it , and had showed him earlier, so he might have recognized it during his set.
I was screaming the entire time practically , and in a couple youtube videos, I can actually hear myself screaming. I know , itz bizarre. I probably looked like the 10yr old Archie fans. (im 26.) I didnt care though, I was going to let Jason know how much I love him.
After the concert, we didnt stay to meet the idols again after the show, cause their were a grip of people.
My advice to everyone is to try and meet the idols BEFORE a show, that way you will get to have more one on one time. And they wont be so rushed. Get their as early as possible, cause you never know when they will come out.
Also, I dont know how to post pictures on here. But you all can check them out on my myspace at
www.myspace.com/itzsuprgirl3142 . Their is also a couple special pics in their of a close up one of his blue bead and dreads, and his fine arse in blue jeans. Hehehehehehe...okay well talk to you all laytor.
Cant wait to hear all of your reviews!!!
and if nelita is here, i recognized ya at the concert, we were in the first row of section three, and I saw ya at the back of section one or two I think. Did ya have a green sign? and were you wearing a green shirt?
