Some Tidbits from my trip to Oklahoma

This trip was just an awesome experience, getting to meet some of the okies and other CFers, and to see carrie back in her home state. I even tried some fried okra lol. She certainly was very happy to be back home and it showed in her performances. Its been a crazy few days since I got home from OK. I’ll just add some comments on top of the reviews.

OKC show
1) the crowd was just electric for our girl’s homecoming. I think the crowd was just as loud, if not louder, for carrie than for mr paisley
2) jake owen, who opened before carrie, hollered to the crowd “for all you cute Oklahoma girls out there!” the crowd went nuts. He continued “I know we got one backstage (referring to carrie)!” surprisingly, it seem not many in the audience got who he was referring to and was pretty much silent in response to that comment.
3) Miranda pointed out to me where mrs underwood and one of carrie’s sisters were sitting. I took a peek and then decided to hide. I somehow got nervous lol.
4) Carrie did talk quite a bit more during this show compared to the other brad paisley shows. As I said, it was really nice seeing her happy!
5) As you all have seen, she was in a stunning all black outfit, with black boots. That girl just keeps getting hotter! I say red, brown, black and green are the best colors on her.
6) It seems by now people know that she does the duet with brad on whiskey lullaby, and the crowd was already ready to explode even before she reached the steps. Those 2 need to record a duet together one day. At the end, brad said “carrie underwood ya’ll! Be proud of her here!”

Visit to Checotah
What struck me was that there were more cars in the town than I expected. Got to see Eufala Lake, the mcdonalds, walmart, the single stoplight, the drive through convenience store, the high school… I’ll put the pics up soon. It actually wasn’t as small as I envisioned.

Tulsa Show
1) This is probably the first solo show ive seen of hers for some time. She has changed the lighting on stage, and the new lighting actually makes taking photos really difficult. Our seats were pretty far back but we were thankful that buff managed to hook us up with a pair of tickets. Thanks buff!
2) Carrie was really really happy and it showed in her performances. I thought she gave her best rendition of DFTRM ive ever heard in concert
3) The crowd was really pumped for BHC. The cute little boy next to me was screaming the words out, wearing his cute little cowboy hat. Yes carrie, us guys sing the song too!
4) The amazing thing about carrie is that she keeps making me love songs that I originally didn’t care for. I heard WYR in concert for the first time and I was just blown away by the concert version. WOW. A note to the producers for her next album, that girl has major vocal talent, that’s for sure.
