For those of you who know me well you know I LOVE my country music. I love the stories that are told in country songs. I like the sincerity you hear in their voices. So what is a country girl doing at a Daughtry/Bon Jovi concert you ask?
Well if you REALLY know me you will know I have not always been a country girl. You also know I grew up in the 80s. You also KNOW how much I LOVE American Idol! You also know that I was and still am a huge Chris Daughtry fan! Oh yeah and you would know that I LOVE Bon Jovi. BTW Bon Jovi released a song You Can't Go Home with country artist Jennifer Nettles about a year ago. It was a big hit on the country charts as well as the rock charts.
So anyway Dave and I got the tickets before Christmas and have been waiting for this day ever since. Let me tell you we were NOT disappointed! The concert was incredible! Daughtry performed for 45 minutes and will be headlining his own concerts before you know it (in my opinion). I was disappointed though because someone told me that Daughtry sings a Bon Jovi song and he comes out and sings it with him. That did not happen.
Bon Jovi gets on stage and let me tell you...the man still has it!!! He is a born entertainer if I have ever seen one! He sang non-stop for 2.5 hours. It was awesome!!! As we were walking to the parking lot I heard a woman talking to her daughter describing him as a little boy who got his wish granted to be a rock star. He was so much fun to watch and you could see he really was enjoying what he was doing. I will say it was the BEST concert I have ever been to.
Oh yeah let me tell you my favorite moment of the entire show. The band starts the music for Blaze Of Glory and out walks Chris Daughtry. They sang the song together and I am telling you they NEED to record that song together! It was out of this world! I have included the YouTube video I found from the concert. The beginning of the video is the end of Bed Of Roses but then the song starts.
Maybe this country girl has many other music interests after all....

Me too, Me too! I am a total country girl(music wise) at heart. I was raised on the stuff and it constitutes about 80 percent of my radio listening. But I LOVE Bon Jovi. You are so lucky you got to see him in concert! And with Chris Daughtry. Luck-ee!
I love country too, but rock is great once in a while....:-)
Oh I do like Jon Bon Jovi... ummm... eye candy (yep, I am an 80's girl)... a girl I work with from NJ went to school with him... I tried to pump her for info but she was a year above him and didn't remember him all that much... just my luck!!!!!!!
