This will be my last post for a few days - we're going to Tulsa to see the American Idol concert at the BOK Center. We plan to spend an extra day, or maybe two in the city. There's a jazz museum to be investigated, some nice art deco architecture to gaze upon; who knows what else!
The concert will be our main focus. I know that American Idol isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the show did, for us, brighten TV schedules throughout the winter and spring. I've always been keen on musical talent shows, and seem to have infected the husband with my own enthusiasm, to some extent.
The concert tour features the top ten Idol contestants from this season's show.
Sun sign line-up is as follows: 1 Aries; 3 Taurus; 1 Gemini(cusp); 1 Cancer(cusp); 1 Leo; 1 Libra; 1 Sagittarius(cusp); 1 Aquarius. (No Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio or Virgo). There's an oil rig worker, a welder, a couple of young mothers, a couple of students, a 17-year old gal, a former church music director, a visually impaired guy, and a singer who cut his performance teeth in musical theater. For some of these, their lives will never be the same again; all will have some amazing memories to treasure.
According to reports of the 12 concerts so far held, on the west coast and into Texas via Arizona, the last-mentioned musical theater guy is stealing the show. This comes as no surprise. Adam Lambert(Aquarius Sun/Aries Moon/Libra Rising) has had the celestial support of the Jupiter/Neptune conjunction in his Sun sign for past weeks and months. He's heading for super-stardom - I'd bet on it. Whether this will come largely from recording, TV, movies or concert tours or a combination of all, it's hard to say as yet. A tidbit of information I picked up this week is that Adam's voice may be featured in the soundtrack of the upcoming movie 2012, due for release in November(see here).
I'll be back on the blog in a few days, but in the meantime might manage the occasional tweet on TWITTER.

"STARLIGHT" (a Muse song)
AND Adam Lambert's homage to David Bowie in a medley (Life on Mars/Fame/Let's Dance)

UPDATE
There's a brief report on the concert at my other blog "The Rest of It", and below is a compilation of my husband's shots - taken from 17 rows back from the stage, so they are not as sharp as we'd have liked. Click on "FULL SCREEN" for best view. (The background music is something called "Prevailing Winds" fromFreeplay Music's site - royalty free, please note, Mr. Copyright Detective!)
