So on Thursday night, my sister and I went to go see Demi and David in concert at the Jobing.com Arena. I was really excited because I had never seen Demi live before and I knew most of her songs, so I was ready. We got there and found our seats and listened to the Radio Disney music playing. I named all the people for my sister, and listened/sang along to most of them. "The Hero in Me" by Emily Osment came on and I told my sister who it was when I hear the people sitting behind us ask "Who sings this?" I laughed and then heard one of them whisper "It's Emily Osment. That's what the guy in front of us said." I laughed some more and listened to the rest of the song.
First up was KSM. They only sang four songs, but I guess that was good. I've decided that they are not my favorite band, but you could tell that they really enjoy what they were doing and that was cool. They opened with "I Want You to Wany Me" then closed with "Distracted". They got everybody pumped and ready for Demi and David!
My favorite part of David's performace had to be his entrance. They had this big curtain covering the stage and a heartbeat countdown going faster and faster, leading up to his entrance. They pulled the curtain back and there he was. He started by singing "Touch My Hand", which is a perfect concert song. He sang "Waiting For Yesterday", "You Can", "Works for Me", "Zero Gravity", "Apoligize", "My Hands", "Barriers", and "Crush". He really did an amazing job. I was at his concert in Arizona in March, and I can't decide if he was better then, or on Thursday. I think with a bigger venue, he was able to do more with the stage, but I think with a smaller stage and smaller audience, he was more personal and more open. Enjoy the pictures and video!
After Daivd there was a twenty minute break. It was just enough time to talk about the first two performances. They played more Radio Disney music and had some commercials for "Sonny with a Chance" and "Disney's Friends for Change". But after a while, the lights went dark and this happened. Don't worry, the shaking isn't an earthquake =)
Demi's perfomance was so amazing! I really think that she was born to be a performer. She just owned that stage when she was on. For those that have listened to her recorded voice, she is way better live. While she was singing, her voice never cracked, and she didn't forget any of her words.
She opened with "La La Land", then sang "So Far, So Great", the theme song to "Sonny With a Chance". During "So Far, So Great", there was a video slideshow on one of the big screens of clips from the show. Demi sang a lot of songs. The only one's she didn't sing off her first CD were "The Middle", "Believe in Me", and "On the Line". When she sang "This is Me", she had a little girl from the audience named Stefana (yes, I remember. But how can you forget an awesome name like that?) come on stage with her and sing the chorus. It had to be a 15 out of 10 on the cute scale. I don't really think that Stefana realized that she was singing "This is Me" with Demi Lovato in front of hundreds of people, but she was quite good. I was really glad that Demi did that because it's one of my favorites, and now I have another reason to like it. She sang three or four songs of her new CD, "Remember December", "Got Nothin' on Me" (I think that's what it's called), "Here We Go Again", and one more that I can't remember the name of. I think my new favorite song by her is either "Remember December" or "Here We Go Again". Both have really good lyrics and she performed both really well. I think after she sang "Here We Go Again", she went backstage. Lots of people left thinking she was done, but she came back out in a new outfit and sang two more songs. Her first was "Don't Forget" (which is such a good song) and "Get Back". I thought it was funny that people started to leave even though her mircophone was still on the stage and the lights hadn't turned on yet. But she sang her last two songs just as good as all the other ones and it was a good ending to the concert.
