American Music Awards (AMA's)


Where do I begin. Only with OMG (OH MY GOD) And Thank-you Torie... Thnak-you Torie....Ring! Ring! late Saturday night... my teaching friend Kristin calls me to let me know she has an extra ticket to be a "seatfiller" at the AMA'S. I say "sure!" Why not? When we arrive up in LA at 1:00 the 3 girls I ride with check in and then the lady in charge procedes to tell me that they "do NOT" have an extra wristband for me. So sorry ! So I bid farewell to my friends... I contemplate do I cry... do I call my husband for a ride.. or what.. Well not to make the story too long because I want to get to the Celebrity part... 2 hours later... My hero Torie worked her magic and got a lady named Dani to come running out of the Nokia Center saying " where is jessica? I have one final wristband for her:)" Torie I am in depted to you for lfe:)

So in I went and the job was to fill the seats of the celebs in rows 1, 2 and 3. The first half and hour I could hardly speak... I was in TOTAL SHOCK. It was such a surreal feeling to be there last night. So my first seat assignment was row 3. I turn to my left... 5 feet away is Chris Brown, Rihanna, and Alicia Keys. (Rihanna is the MOST beautiful woman) OMG Then behind them was Little John? Behind them was Montley Crue.. Vince Neil and his wife etc.... Pussy Cat dolls, Beyonce, Queen Latiffa. Then right in front of me.. Some regular guys kind of English looking. I knew my seat was too good to be true... A man approaches me and says "excuse may I have your seat' I get up and move to the next open seat. The body guard of Chris Martin from Cold Play grabs me and says that seats for Chris not you:) The rest of the night I sat in row 10. I liked my spot and had gotten my STAR fix for the evening. I didn't want to keep forfeiting my seat so I stayed put in row 10. This was a out of body experience and an opportunity of a lifetime.

My favorite performances: Beyonce (by far) Cristina Aguilera, Taylor Swift, Pink and Annie on the piano and Natasha Beddingfield's dress was my favorite.

I wanted to seat fill for this award show...you're lucky! Did you see Chris and Rihanna be affectionate? Or did they ignore each other the whole time? haha
