Jerome said yes it was the flashing.

Really Didn't think it was a big problem tonight.

It was Michael that called and got the posting issue under control!  All kudos to him! 

    

I believe the audience is getting rushed out again tonight, thus the no encore was probably due to a time issue.
(Jerome always says it's the flashing.)

But it sounds like he sang the shiznit out of every song, so I hope everyone is happy!

I know how they feel though - I was in no encore DC!

Thank you Angela, Heather and Meesa (Cellcert Trinity!) for all the beautiful pictures, and the play by play of the show.

You are MUCH appreciated!! 

ETA: From CH:  Pink says they are being thrown out of there so maybe it is time again. Perhaps Newland will know. Pink says they are really making every one leave fast.

That really stinks for the innocent people.

Flashers and screamers

 

I'd like to apologize for the rude and disrespectful screamers during the show. Grrrrrr!!!!!!!!! I just wish  they'd show their "love for Clay" by NOT screaming it but showing him the respect he deserves as a performer on the stage and being quiet during the songs. It is so rude, disrespectful and distracting for the performer.  GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

And yes, they did have a huge crackdown on flashers and while there weren't many during the first half...there seemed to be short bursts of free-for-all flashing during the second.

The intermission lasted much longer than 20 minutes. If it had been only 20 minutes there would have been enough time for Good News. I was very disappointed when the lights came on and the curtain came down. I love Good News. I don't know why it wasn't done, if it was because of time or flashes or just Clay being ticked off at the disrespect, either way we missed out.

The show was fantastic. I could tell that he seemed to be holding back a bit in the first half but really belted during the second. My niece loved the show, her first Clay concert. My mom and step-dad loved the show as well. My mom's second concert, my step-dad's first.

It was funny during DSIAFCD when Clay sang "oh baby that's a fact" to Quiana she jumped up and down and squealed right along with everyone else in the audience. She also got flowers during introductions.

My teen-aged niece loved William Joseph and got her picture taken with him afterwards. She says he's "hot". I'd have to agree.

Well, I've got to get some sleep as I have a 9 hour drive ahead of me! The show was awesome. The singing was awesome. The MAN was awesome!!

ETA at 7:30 after only 5 hours of sleep: Although I have had my favorites of the songs he has sung in the JNT (MDYK, OHN, GN),  I think the one that has affected me most hasn't even been a favorite. "Please Celebrate Me Home" made me bawl both times I saw it. The first time was in Raleigh, the night before I was to drive "home" to Florida for the holidays. The song really got to me because I realized I did not want to go to Florida. I got emotional because the song made me wish I wanted to "go home".  And Beverly's family coming through the door at the pinnacle or high point or whatever of the song just made it worse.

The second time I saw it was in Melbourne last night...the night before I was to drive HOME to North Carolina. I got all emotional again. This time the song got to me because I couldn't wait to get HOME. I have been wanting to get back HOME to North Carolina since about noon Christmas Day. Since last November Raleigh and North Carolina have been my HOME and Florida is just a state where all my relatives live. Raleigh is where I found my freedom, my life, my happiness, myself - my sense of who I really am. So Raleigh is and always will be HOME to me. I find it enlightening the reaction I had each time to the song "Please Celebrate Me Home" and the fact that I happened to hear it each time the night before my travels.

And the JNT II story of Beverly and Tommy is so true and so fitting this year: Family isn't always the people you are related to.

Michelle I know what you mean.  It is one of my Favorites too. 

I miss talking to you.  My dear Moonshot.  Let me know how you are doing after you get some rest. 

I am sorry you missed Good News, it just runs up your spine and stays in your Brain for a long Time.  I bawled like a baby during both of these.  Nicole did too.

Love Ya,

Terry
