Miley Cyrus 9-25-09, Glendale, Arizona!

I was lucky enough to win tickets to see Miley Cyrus and Metro Station on the evening of September 25th, 2009. It was truly the best concert I have ever attended, period.

Metro Station opened the show and I must say one thing about this group, they really know how to get the crowd pumped up. Each song they sang was upbeat and fun to dance to. They sang songs from Kelsey to 17 Forever to Shake It. Trace Cyrus's ability to work the crowd was unbelievable. Mason Musso was also very impressive, I love his voice. Overall Metro Station's performance surpassed my expectations.

The intermission was the worst. The anticipation was building inside myself as well as every other person in the arena.

Miley's entrance was amazing. She sang the song Breakout and definitely got everyone on their toes. Everything about her performance was perfect. Her vocals were a lot better than I expected.

Miley sang songs from her album Breakout, her E.P. album and some songs from The Hannah Montana Movie. When she sang the Hoedown Throwdown, almost everyone in the arena was dancing along, even some of the parents!

Now, on a more serious note, I wasn't very happy with some of her outfit choices and dance moves. I understand that she is a mature, young adult, but some of her dance moves were a bit too inappropriate for the young audience she had.

Here is a list of the songs she sang, some old, some new.

1) Breakout

2) Start All Over

3) 7 Things

4) Kicking and Screaming

5) Bottom of the Ocean

6) Fly on the Wall

7) Let's Get Crazy

) Hoedown Throwdown

9) These Four Walls

10) When I Look at You

11) Obsessed

12) Spotlight

13) GNO

14) I Love Rock & Roll

15) Party in the USA

16) Wake Up America

17) Simple Song

18) See You Again

19) The Climb

Her voice is 10 times better than the album. Her voice is pure. Miley belted out each song with such pride and with such determination to put on a good show. When she did a cover of I Love Rock & Roll, my jaw dropped. Miley Cyrus was suspended above the stage, on a motorcycle and her voice was absolutely amazing.

My favorite song she sang was The Climb, which happened to be her very last song. She was dressed in a beautiful white dress and she looked gorgeous. Miley put on an amazing show and I know this night will be one I'll remember forever. Thank you Buzznet.com for giving myself, and my best friend Victoria such an amazing experience.

Demi Lovato Rocked The Arena on July 9th, 2009

The screams from the arena can be heard from outside. By the shouting of her name, it sounded like Demi Lovato was doing her sound check. As the drums echoed throughout, my hear began to pound. The day I've been waiting for has finally arrived. Demi Lovato's World Tour of 2009 had finally reached Glendale, Arizona with special guests David Archuleta and KSM.

The arena darkened as the screams filled the air. Strobe lights flashed in colors of blue and white. KSM's Banner was center stage, in the view of everyone around. If you haven't heard of KSM, you've been missing out. This all girl group is made up of friends Kate, Shae, Shelby, Sophia and Katie. You may have heard their take on the song I Want You To Want Me on ABC Family's 10 Things I Hate About You.

The girls came out looking fabulous. Their own styles came together as one. Lead singer Shelby has style and an amazing set of pipes. She came out wearing a dress which had black on top and a beautiful black and white design on the bottom. She paired this with black tights and red high top sneakers. Sophia, who rocks out on the bass, was wearing a beautiful mid length white and grey dress. She paired this with black ripped tights and ankle high black boots.

KSM is most definitely an amazing band. They have style, personality and some killer songs. My personal favorite is I Want You To Want Me. They put their own flare on it and the song was incredible. After the show, the girls were nice enough to pose for pictures and autographs. Below is a picture of KSM and I. They are amazing.

It was time for the arena to darken again, girls were shouting his name. Everyone was extremely excited to have American Idol's sweetheart, David Archuleta in sunny Arizona. The anticipation was killing me as I waiting for his entrance. A big sheet was draped over the front of the stage. All of a sudden, a spotlight centered on the sheet. David Archuleta's silhouette was all that could be seen. He opened with Touch My Hand which he performed amazingly. He can really connect with the audience.

David Archuleta performed each song with grace and he seemed to be singing to each member of the audience. His laughter filled the arena as he accidentally spilled his drink. At this moment, it was clear he was just a normal teenager living his dream. On his last song, he dedicated it to everyone who supported him and everyone who believed in him. David's performance was one I will never forget.

Intermission was my least favorite part of the show. There was a 20 minute break as Demi Lovato's band was setting up. I could hear the laughter and excitement of everyone around me. Music began playing, songs such as Before The Storm by Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas had everyone singing along and waiting for the main act to appear on stage. Just as I got back to my seat, I heard clapping and shouting of her name. Demi Lovato's band began playing an unrecognizable tune, which lead into La La Land. Her entrance, through the stage, was one of the most amazing things I had every witnessed before.

Demi Lovato looked fabulous, her first outfit consisting of a gorgeous green fitted top with a glittery white vest. She paired this with simple black jeans and amazing boots. Impressive as she is, she managed to dance around the stage and maintain her self the entire time. She can sure put on a show. At one point, she pulled a member of the audience on stage, a little girl. Demi asked the young lucky fan to sing the chorus of This Is Me. Both Demi and the little girl did an amazing job.

During her songs, you can feel emotions run through your veins. From Two World's Collide, to U Got Nothin' On Me; Demi Lovato kept everyone wanting more. While she never remained still during her performance, her voice only hit one note; perfection. You can see the dedication she has in each picture taken.

As soon as she left the stage, shouts of Demi Lovato began echoing throughout. In as little as two minutes, Demi appeared again, wearing a gorgeous black dress, tied the middle with a red belt. She put on black tights and black ankle boots. In this outfit, she sang her final two songs Don't Forget and Get Back. Demi Lovato sure did rock the stage in Arizona and it will be a memory I will cherish forever.

I'm not a super model, but I am Demi's blogger.

"Sitting in the jobing.com arena located in sunny Glendale, Arizona are hundreds of fans. We aren't your average fans, we're Demi fans. The anticipation is building inside us, we can't possibly wait any longer..HERE SHE IS! The girl that has been taking the nation by storm. Starting with Barney, followed by As The Bell Rings, then Camp Rock starring alongside heartthrob Joe Jonas of the Jonas Brothers, and finally starring in her own television show, Sonny With A Chance, Demi Lovato is sure making a well-known name for herself. Just when you think Disney's IT girl can't do anything more, she makes the announcement that causes parents to hold tight to their wallets as Demi-fans rush to them for money; Demi Lovato is headlining her own World Tour of 2009. Saying I'm excited is a complete understatement. Demi Lovato is doing what she's been dreaming of, so far, it's better than great."

Fun Fact: Demi Lovato was born two days before me! Okay, okay, two days and a year before me but, I usually leave the year part out!

Two reasons: -Very similar to Demi, I was bullied in school. I learned to only trust a few individuals, thankfully I have my "rocks", Cristina and my Mom, like Demi has Selena! -I'm a big fan of Demi Lovato's; her music is upbeat, her lyrics are captivating. It isn't just some random words she chose to stick on paper; it's meaningful, heartfelt lyrics that she had to experience in order to write. In other words, it's like she's placing her life on a piece of paper, and sharing it with the world.

One Question for Demi: What has been the hardest obstacle you had to face during your rise to fame?
