I don’t know how much you guys keep up with American Idol. If you’re like me your wife and kids take it a little more serious. However, I have to admit I have kept up with it a little more this year than before. The one guy "Phillip Phillips" from Leesburg is the family favorite. Dawn adores him and Mandy would probably leave me for him. Ha. Don’t know why that’s funny.
Anyway, he made it to the finial 3, this is where the remaining 3 singers left get to go home to what they call a "hero's welcome". They throw parades; have a concert and people from all over come to see this.
Dawn and Mandy head out around 8:00 am. There hopes are to avoid the parade and go straight to where his concert will be held at the high school football field. On the way they hear him on the radio. Mandy pulls over gets directions as they are entering Albany and shoots over to the radio station in hopes to see him up close. Well they make it in time and get closer than they had expected.
Dawn not only gets his autograph but is standing at the window of his limo, talking to him with an American Idol camera pointing dead in her face filming it. See photo below....
If you notice, that is Dawns head in the bottom of the photo talking thru the limo window, Phillip signing autographs and if you look to the right you will see the camera filming it. I must add that the 450lb body guard / bouncer was the only one able to remove Dawn before she had finished her conversation.
After the "Oh My Goodness I can't believe that just happened you have to call dad and everyone we know in Moultrie and tell them oh my oh my oh my" moment they had they then start to the concert site.
Here again, they are hoping to at least get to where they can see him perform. Well as luck has it for these two googly eyed chicks, they somehow make their way to the front of the crowd and are now right in front of the stage.
After the show had begun, there was a quiet moment where they were handing him an award or something (this is what I'm told) Dawn decides to break the silence of the crowd to yell "PHILLIP I LOVE YOU"!!!!! To which everyone in the crowd and on stage stop and turn towards Dawn. Again, this is another possible opportunity for Dawn to be recognized on Television. I can't begin to tell you how proud I am.
Anyway, Dawn and Mandy hope (and dream) that this Wednesday they may be shown during the show as they are showing the homecoming for all the singers. So keep an eye out for Dawn and Mandy if you check out the show Wednesday night.
This could be Dawns debut on national Television. So she hopes.
does phillip phillips know that you are in the DADD club? he should be afraid. i missed the show tonight so i hope to catch it later online. sounds like the girls had a FUN day.
