Local News: Rascal Flatts and Kellie Pickler came to entertain thousands of their fans at Salt Lake City’s Energy Solutions Arena (Former Delta Center) on Friday, March 7th. These country stars rocked the house down with their live music. It was a fun concert!…
My over imagination took me one step further in this experience: I have just officially launched my American Country Singer dream career live on stage with Kellie Pickler and the Rascal Flatts. The spot lights were warm on my skin but I still got chills and butterflies in my stomach. I was the newest country music sensation when I sang Kellie Pickler’s (American Idol’s finalist in 2006) song “Small Town Girl” on my red high heels. She’s really tiny like half my size, but she’s got a voice twice bigger than me. Then I just became the first female band member of the Rascal Flatts. I played the guitar and I felt that I was the hottest girl rock star of my time. All the screaming girls of all ages at the front row want to grab ‘em and tore off their clothes, but I said, “Sorry, desperate housewives. I’m their only woman in this concert.”…
I was in my clients’ All-Star Suite, with dinner buffet, ice cream bar and beverage flowing all night. The concert stage was just right in front of me. I was sitting right next to 3 gorgeous blondes who also left their men at home watching CSI reruns. They thought I was J. Lo in my fur collared jacket and my curvy pants. I said, “Oh no, honey, I’m All American Country Rock Star!” I pulled up my pants and showed them my stiletto cowboy boots! We were instant BFFs even for just one night! We all sung along with Kellie and the Rascals as we all know the lyrics, it was the coolest thing that I will never forget and will never be able to do with my closest friends… We got carried away and cried a tear! We danced along and screamed like foolish crazy fans. (I can’t believe I yelled with them to the Rascals, “Take your shirts off!!”) I saw my self and my life and my dreams coming true on stage right before my very eyes. I can’t describe it… I run out of words to say, but their songs are still playing in my head…. God blessed the broken road that led me straight to you… ……
Background Check: My first encounter with country music was when my sister’s boss in the Philippines asked me to shop some country music CDs for him as he can’t find any in all of the music stores back home. I first listened to it all and just fell in love with it. They are all great songwriters, and they sing their undying love for their country, their old simple life, their family, their broken hearts and the broken roads that lead them to their dreams. They talk about real life and their passion for their music, just like a story. I loved the fiddling of the violins, the sound of guitars, the beat of the drums, the different voice, and the moral of the songs. I’m now fully converted. The rest is history. The ‘promdi” is now the All American Country Girl…
