Great Concert!!! Best Idol Concert yet!!! A little bit country...a little bit rock n' roll...a little bit R&B...a little bit Blues..and a little bit pop. What more could you ask for...simply amazing!

Me and my friends had the best time. My favorite idol is Jason and he was so gorgeous and sweet. I love his voice I could listen to him all day long. We all agreed that this year's idol concert was a bit short and there should have been more group numbers. I love those and looked forward to watching those every week on idol.
All the idols sang really well. It's like they had their own mini concert. All the sets were their own, it was really cool. It's so weird how each one is so different, first you'll hear Kristy come out and she's all country, then Carly comes out and she rocks out! It's awesome! We had so much fun!

I was disappointed in the concert....I have gone to every idol concert since season 2 and I have to say, I thought since the show is getting more and more popular, the tour would get even better...I was wrong. I did like that each idol sang more than one solo, however there were no duets or anything like that. The concert only lasted maybe 2 1/2 hours tops. I didn't enjoy the guitar hero promo. It took time away from the performances I thought, they could have all sang another group number. I feel awful because I absolutely loved season 7 but I hope next idol concert they change the concert set-up.
Jack from mjsbigblog (here is the Carly part):
Next was Carly who did fantastic. “Bring Me to Life” was for sure in the Top 5 performances of the night. You can see that her voice seems to be getting strained on “Crazy on You” but everything she did was fantastic as well. She was another crowd favorite.
carly does fantastic nomatter what!!!!!
