The room goes dark and Danny’s photo appears on the screen and everyone starts screaming. Danny appears and my section has now awakened and the old ladies are excited. He’s doing his thing. I didn’t like his performance of this song on the show but its better live. Not my favorite but he’s good. He’s got people on their feet dancing. Wait did the old lady next to me just give out a scream? She sure did. His next song is surprisingly good. He’s doing some dance moves. Well trying anyway. People are back in their seats for Rascal Flats. I thought he did well with this song but to me it sounds like he’s straining a bit. His last song was really good. He did a great job and was very entertaining. He looks different in person though. Not sure why. I had heard from others that he gives this long sermon and starts preaching during his set. For me it wasn’t preachy at all and only lasted a minute or two. He talked about his wife and why he chose to audition even though his wife had just died. He told people not to be defined by tragedy which was met with loud cheers. He finishes up his set and people start screaming and clapping which get louder and louder and then foot stomping. It stays dark for a few seconds then BOOM!

They all start boarding the buses. The girls bus backs out first and leaves. The boys bus starts to back up and Michael appears at the window in the back. Everyone starts screaming and he waves and blows kisses. The bus then pulls back up. Ooops. They were leaving without Danny. He was still signing autographs. He runs over to the door which opens and he proceeds to get on the bus and someone pushes him back and shuts the door. They start to back up again. Everyone starts laughing. Guess they are leaving Danny here with us. I don’t think the crowd minds. He walks back to the crowd and starts signing more autographs. People start cheering. Michael is again waving at the crowd who are waving back and cheering. The bus pulls back in again and this time they grab Danny. The bus begins to back up and Michael is still waving. That guy is definitely soaking up every bit of this experience. You have to love that. As the bus pulls away the crowd disappears almost in an instant.
