Kristy Lee Cook our home town girl was without a doubt the best talent there. she was so awesome I was soo proud and made Oregon proud. the whole show was great, I think david cook, archy and jason got the wows from the female fans, syesha is into herself allot, Chekeeze was a great performer, Ramielle has a good voice buy lacks the show quality others do and Brook though sweet lacks showmanship as does Castro and Michael Johns is good buy seems to think he is more than what he is. Kristy Lee Cook I will remember you. You are not forgettable, who was the person who told you that, I forget.

Okay, so lots of squealing before this number, as this is his opener. DAVID HAS ARRIVED!
I would love to know what kind of camera this person was using, because it is superb audio.
He is sounding great, but a little tired, though, on this number. It’s okay, he’s allowed. They all are – it’s a grueling tour.
He is adding some new riffs and runs and some lack the clarity that I have heard in previous shows. Somehow, I think the “day off” the tour means a “day on” focusing on other promotional or musical commitments.
Thank you again, RUDY2295

This is filmed by RUDY2295 as well. The audio is probably the best I have heard throughout the tour. The clarity of David’s words are wonderful and it is great that the audience is not in a state of hysteria. They are actually listening to him and allowing him to perform. Therefore, one can hear and appreciate all the shades of his voice.
He has a crisp, resounding vocal timbre when he sings in his mid-range and this allows him to seamlessly provide contrast to the pure head voice he transports into his upper range when he sings the “too late” sections of this song.
Excellent performance and the audience roars its approval!

Great, great audio. Really clear! David’s voice sounds absolutely gorgeous, especially since the audio really captures the live experience so well.
You can barely see him, but the seating position for the person filming this song was perfectly central.
And, hey, he got the crowd singing the “beautiful girls” section and you can hear his delight. He laughs.! Perfect!
Not the best video, but the audio is “to die for”. David has the crowd in the palm of his hand.
Thank you RUDY2295

OOOOO – RUDY2295’s audio is to die for. And someone close to the camera is singing along with him. That’s cute -too adorable.
And, this is his song – I am sure it is truly his favorite number. He sounds musically commited to this number. It’s a very personal performance and he inherits the soul of this song so completely!
Too bad the camera ran out of memory about 2 minutes into the performance, but, without a doubt, David rendered an absolutely stellar performance. And so did his duet partner in the audience! haha. That was a plus with this video.

I’ve always wondered… I have absolutely no idea what they use for the fog… but using that at every tour stop, would that in anyway affect his voice/singing? They seem to have toned down the fog from some of the earlier ones though.

Hi, MCL! Never mind, we know you care about all these talented young people!
Here’s most of Jason’s “Over the Rainbow” from Portland, uploaded by Nicole4GA.
And some “Daydream”, too, this one uploaded by emlytwid.
The fan reports coming in (many not particularly Jason fans) all seem to agree that Jason’s voice is managing to fill these arenas just fine, which is nice to hear!
