Matt and Kelly

April 10, 2012

We have concerts lined up for the next 3 months.  Tonight was Bridget's choice, May is mine and June was a joint decision.

I picked up a pizza and met Bridget at Fashion Valley.  We drove together to the Valley View Casino Center (Sports Arena).  We park off the streets because parking is $20 and it takes forever to get out of there.  We ate the pizza in the car and then walked over to the VVCC.

Bridget got fantastic seats.  Row 10 on the floor on the left side. 

First up: Matt Nathanson

I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget
                        Matt Nathanson

He was a good performer and helped get the concert started. 

This was Kelly Clarkson's Stronger Tour and everyone was excited when she took the stage.  It cracks me up that she is barefoot on stage.

You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want
You think you got the best of me
Think you've had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

I'll give her credit.  She puts on a great show.  This is the third time we have seen her and each show gets better.  The crowd seemed to love her and most knew all the lyrics.

Miss Independent
Miss Self-sufficient
Miss Keep-your-distance
Miss Unafraid
Miss Outta-my-way
Miss Don't-let-a-man-interfere, no
Miss On-her-own
Miss Almost-grown
Miss Never-let-a-man-help-her-off-her-throne
