Heh. It really wasn't too bad. pretty much 1/2 of all 1st graders in Lubbock were there, which I expected, but there were lots of highschool age girls there too....saw a few that had dragged boyfriends, which was funny.
The worst part for me was her sister, Hayley, as the opening act (she is even less original than her younger sister).
Hilary's band is actually pretty decent, music wise (you gotta wonder who they pissed off the get stuck w/this gig, though...on the other hand, I guess it's a paycheck), and although she's not the greatest singer, she actually did sing the whole thing (not lip synched) b/c she did have some pitchy moments. I was expecting some kind of show where there were dancers, etc., but she pretty much just gets up there and does the songs from her album (an upcoming new album) w/a band & 2 backup singers. (There is the required video screen in the background showing clips from a few of her videos interspersed w/live shots).
This was my DD's first concert...she enjoyed it, but about 2 songs b/f the end, she sat down & started to doze. I don't know how bc/ it was freaking loud (not just the music but screaming elementary school girls everywhere? Sheesh.)
