I went to the Kelly Clarkson/The Fray concert featuring Carolina Liar, Thursday at Jiffy Lube Live. And I have to say....GREAT SHOW! All three artists did an amazing job and the crowd really got into it. I have been to many Kelly Clarkson shows, but I had never seen The Fray live before Thursday. They put on a great stage show. I had not seen Carolina Liar before the show either, and they did very well too. Overall, it was one of the top concerts I have ever been to, since each of the three acts performed so well.
Carolina Liar opened the show at around 7:00. The crowd was still filing in, but they came out and got the crowd involved instantly. It is tough being the opening act, but Carolina Liar handled it very well. I recommend checking them out. Some of their hit songs include: "Show Me What I'm Looking For" and "I'm Not Over". They are from South Carolina and Sweden. After they performed their six song set, they signed autographs and took pictures with fans for the rest of the night. I mean the rest of the night too. Stayed out til past 11:00. Very down to Earth band. I enjoyed meeting them after the show. Good people.
Next came The Fray at about 7:50. I have always played The Fray's music here on Lite 97.5, but I was never a huge fan because I feel their songs are a little slow for my taste, but they won me over almost INSTANTLY. They are great live and lead singer Isaac Slade has a great stage presence. They played all their hits including "You Found Me", "How to Save a Life", "Over My Head" and their new hit and my personal favorite: "Heartbeat". They also paid tribute to those lost in Aurora, Colorado, which was a great moment during the show. The band is from Denver, which they said is about 25 minutes from Aurora. Next time they are around, I highly recommend checking them out live. Great show, great guys.
Finally, Kelly Clarkson hit the stage around 9:35. The crowd had been singing occasionally during Carolina Liar and The Fray's sets, but once Kelly came out with "My Life Would Suck Without You", the crowd started singing and they didn't stop until she finished her final song: "Stronger". I always feel the best part of Kelly Clarkson shows is how happy she makes her fans. When I look around the crowd, I just see all these people singing and having big smiles on their faces. She brings joy to each city she goes to and that is a great thing in the times we live in. Some fun parts of her set this time included her covering Fun's summer hit: "We are Young" and a fan request of TLC's "No Scrubs". Yes, Kelly sang "No Scrubs" and it was amazing. Haha. Great show from her, as always.
Great night at Jiffy Lube Live. Again, if you are not familiar with any of these artists, I recommend checking them out.
I can't believe it is already August 5th! Time is rolling along! You don't even realize it til you look at the calendar. Soon the kids will be back to school, vacations will be over and it will be Fall. I am a fan of Fall, but there is something special about Summer. Time to enjoy these last few weeks. The good news is football season is near, but besides that, I am going to miss the Summer!
Music is also always special in the Summer. It is always more fun. What was this year's summer songs? "Call Me Maybe"? "Payphone"? Those new boybands, whats their names? You know! "We are Young" And a bunch more. Gotta love it!
Summer movies are getting on a roll now! Two weeks ago we had Iron Man 3, last week The Great Gatsby debuted with success and now this week we have Star Trek Into Darkness! I saw it on Friday and I must say: BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR so far! The 2009 reboot...
The Summer movie season is finally here, thanks to Robert Downey Jr. and Iron Man 3! This of course, is the third Iron Man movie, but is actually just as much a sequel to last year's blockbuster: The Avengers. If any of the Avengers (Captain America,...
Okay, normally I see movies right when they come out, but I waited a little while to see Oz: The Great and Powerful. I finally saw it and I loved everything about it! Great visuals, great 3D, great story, great cast, tons of family fun and magic! I am...
Happy Birthday to Jessica Biel (31), Julie Bowen (43), Buddy Valastro (36) and Santonio Holmes (29). And if your birthday is today: Happy Birthday to you too from 97.5 WLTF!
Christian Lopez is a friend of the West Virginia Morning Show and have stopped by to chat about AI (well, as much as he's allowed to say) and he played his new original song "As Far As I May Go". Gooood stuff. Check it out.
Your Sunday Morning Guy!
