Reba & Kelly Concert in Birmingham, AL



I HAD A BLAST! I HAVEN'T HAD SO MUCH FUN IN YEARS!!!

We were literally front and center. I was less than 5 feet away from the mic.
Their opening act was the girl that played Barbara Jean on Reba. She was okay. I am just not a fan of dumb humor. She did make me laugh a time or two but it was just to scripted. If I can say the next line before she does then its boring to me and I did that and cracked my mom up a time or two just because it was funny that I said the exact thing she did.


Then when Reba and Kelly came out we were all on our feet! I had my camera and was snapping away. I think I took over 150 pictures. Mom also had her camera but because it looked "to professional" they wouldn't let her use it. She was very upset by this. She still enjoyed it very much though.

Reba & Kelly looked like they were having a blast up there and I think after watching them I so could do that! LOL They were laughing and cracking up in between songs and were keeping the crowd into it too.



My mother and I both noticed things about them we didn't realize before. Mom said Kelly has a big butt. I noticed Reba has very large nostrils(this could be just the fact that I was right below her LOL). One thing about Kelly I saw that I liked was the fact that she was bare foot. HEHE I am the queen of bare feet. If it was me on that stage I would have been bare foot too. She had long jeans that came down over her feet that hid it from most other people but since I was so close I saw her toes sticking out. I loved the pants she had on they were jeans that had been split up to the calf and long black tassels sewn in the slit. I want some like that but then again I am a housewife/stay-at-home-mom where would I wear them? LOL



I probably looked crazy but every song they sang that I knew I was belting out as hard as they were but there wasn't a problem with this because there were these huge speakers on the floor in front of us and if anyone could have heard even a sound i made over them I would be amazed. The speakers were so loud they shook my body. This wasn't a problem for me but Mom said she wished they would have not had them as high. I don't see how they could have had them any lower because over all the people no one would hear the singers.





They even got their pregnant back up singer out in front a time or two. She was so cute rockin out up there, big belly and all.



They sang all my favorite songs and a few I hadn't heard before. At one point they totally had me fooled. They reintroduced one another and waved to the crowd and walked off stage. The band played a little and then walked off too. They hadn't sung "Fancy" or "Because of You" or a two more I was looking so forward to hearing live. So I was starting to get very disappointed.



Right about that time the band came back out and then Reba and Kelly came up out of the middle of the stage. They of course saved the favorites for last.



To say the least, I had so much fun. I needed it and I really enjoyed it.
