Fist pumping.

Last night was the big Katy Perry concert. This dealio was originally booked for early July but KP had to cancel on us because she "was placed in a bathtub with it coming out both ends" as she so kindly told us. Moving on....

The concert was sold out. Packed. My Girls and the Non Tax Deductible Child were pretty pumped. We got there with an hour to spare before the opening act Natalia Kills. She had 1 song that was decent other than that it was the "hate your boyfriend" type songs. Justin thought she had "boy issues". She was pretty much man bashing the whole time, which don't get me wrong, I've been there. There are definitely days where a person may want to blare that in their car but overall, she wasn't that impressive. Her dancers were terrible too. She had 2 of them and they were often out of sync. She is just starting out so I'm sure she'll improve. KP she is not though.

We then sat through DJ Skeet Skeet. I actually enjoyed this. He just played the hits. The fist pumping hits. I even taught my 7 year old to fist pump. She did so well too! It was actually pretty fun to hang out with my Girls singing at the top of our lungs and dancing in our nose bleed seats.

Finally, KP came on around 9pm. Ella was worried we should head home because it was getting late and it was probably "night time" out. So cute. KP did not disappoint. Her concert had a Alice in Wonderland/Candyland vibe. (She took a bite of a "homemade brownie" and things started to get hazy for her. The kids didn't let on that they knew what was going on so that's good!)

The only part I didn't like was during the Katy Karaoke, she sang that dang "Friday" song by Rebecca Black. Yuck. Why do people like that dreadful thing? She did redeem herself by doing "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" by Whitney. Love that one.

Oh and the "Peacock" song, I had totally forgot about. It was kinda funny to see all the little girls jamming to that and the looks on their Mom's face. Some got it. Some didn't. At least I wasn't alone. That whole "crap, this may not be the best thing my child has ever heard..."

There were tons of lasers, fireworks and bright lights. KP's dancers were awesome. I even thought that if I could go back and do1 thing over in life...it would be to become a kick ass backup dancer. They make that look like so much fun. Overall, it was a pretty sweet concert!

So without further a do...(is that how it's spelled?!?)

I'm super jealous. Like I said, I had ticket, lower level ones that I got as soon as they opened, and had to sell. Can you say completley bummed? Glad you had an awesome time though!

Sounds like it was a lot of fun! I'm ashamed to say I've, ahem, never actually been to a concert. Don't judge me. I've always thought it would be super cool to be a backup dancer too! What a great and fun way to stay in shape! :)
