The American Idol Top 10 of Season 9 left Los Angeles Saturday, June 26- flew 1,981 miles to Detroit, Michigan (roughly a 4 and a half hour flight if flying non-stop). They are set to kick off the Summer Live tour in the famous Palace in Auburn Hills, Michigan on July 1st. Home of the Detroit Pistons (NBA), the Palace can seat up to 23,000 people depending on the layout. What a huge stadium to jump start the show! The question is will the idols fill it up?
Hopefully they will and hopefully they will kick arse and deliver a great show. There are still great seats and tons of general admission tickets available in every city including MI. It is most important that they don’t mess up the first concert.
The first show is always the most talked about and it will set the tone for the rest of the tour. If the idols get positive reviews from the media and buzz from fans, then it might just give the slow nationwide ticket sales a bit of a boost! If not, uh oh…

Didi tweeted she woke up with a “Tornado warning” in Michigan! Later in the afternoon, she had a nice walk and tweeted: “So nice to be around wild, untampered-with nature. One of the many things I am most happy about seeing. Life before all the intricate Computerized world.” (She posted 2 pics!)
In the evening, Didi tweeted she saw the disturbing, silly 2003 exploitation film “House of 1000 Corpses” with Siobhan… She gushes: “Definitely more of a comedy or romantic oriented kinda gal…. Yeeeesh… Goooooo… I will not b able to sleep holy moley”
Siobhan countered: “I showed @dbenami House of 1000 Corpses. I don’t know that she will ever forgive me…”
After an out pour of tweets, Didi assured the fans: “@SiobhanMagnusAI is a sweetheart- I said yes to a scary movie- I made it all the way through. It’s my fault. But yes, next time I’ll pick!”
