a.c.e in toronto 2019
okay so this is just a summary of my favourite things from the concert
- i met like 9 people at the concert and they were all so sweet and funny and we had such a good time talking before the concert and while we were waiting for hi touch and photo op to start
- seeing black and blue live is an expERIENCE let me tell you
- oH ANd do it like me!!!!!!
- chan and byeongkwan were so precious when they were singing their ost it was so cute akjdcnsk
- youngblood was so hype and they seemed really happy to see us all singing and dancing with them
- OH MY gOsh their napal baji cover was my favourite it was so fun and weird and i couldn't stop laughing and smiling it made me so happy
- they played the vcr where they're all dressed up and after that when they came on stage jun and sehyoon imitated their parts and it was so funny. junhee was so smiley, i looked at my video of it and he was smiling so big the whole time
- after that chan said we weren't cheering that loudly so we started cheering louder and jun was so surprised he made the cutest shocked face then he gave us 2 thumbs up, a heart, and bowed hahaha
- dessert was also really fun she's truly the biggest summer bop and i love her with all my heart
- when we raised the bias stars during star they seemed to really appreciate it, they just looked so grateful. tbh it made me wanna cry because we do these things to show them how much they mean to us and sometimes i forget how much we mean to them too
- then they left and the crowd was chanting “you're my star” then “ace”
- they came back and did cactus and undercover back to back (idk how they survived) and the fan chants for undercover were soooooo loud it was really impressive
- byeongkwan doing a cf with the “ice water” had me cackling he drank in such an extra way askjcnsk (i have pictures of 4/5 drinking water if anyone wants to see that lol)
- donghun tried to wrap himself in the canada flag but it was upside down so choice were trying to tell him but he didn't get it so chan took it from him and draped it on donghun’s shoulders the right way
- during their ending comments sehyoon said something that made me kinda sad.....he was saying how he doesn't know what he is to us and that kinda broke my heart because he means everything to me and just his existence makes me so happy and i wish he knew how big of a role he has in ace and especially in choice’s hearts
- during if you heard they were so cute with the banners and sehyoon was playing with some lightsticks and they took some of the bias stars it was so precious
- on his way out junhee hit the woah like 1823488348 times sjkcdnkjs
- okay so the staff rushed us super hard during hi touch and photo op but it was still so amazing i just wish it could have been longer
- it was all kind of a blur so i only remember chan and byeongkwan well
- chan was first and he did a 2 handed highfive for the girl in front of me but he put his hands down after so i went in with 1 hand but he went in with 2 so he grabbed my one hand in both of his and i said “chanblood” in the tune of “youngblood” cause he said it during the concert and he gave me the cutest smile while holding my hand in both of his
- i told byeongkwan i love him and he gave me the cutest smile and nod
- during photo op they were sitting crosslegged on the stage and we were supposed to stand behind them
- they all looked at us while we were making our way behind them and i just remember making eye contact with donghun, byeongkwan, and chan and chan was still smiling idk how he manages to seem so genuinely happy to see us the whole time when they all must’ve been exhausted at that point
- i just hope i don't look like shit in the picture
- oH ALSo byeongkwan looked back at us while we were right behind him and my heart literally stopped he's so beautiful and i love him so much i already miss him
- we got our signed posters at the end too which was good
- gahhhhhh it doesn't feel real

American Idol Season 17 - Top 40 Review
Alyssa Raghu - Dear Future Husband - Alyssa's performance was a lot of fun. This was the first time I've ever seen her look natural and comfortable on the stage. And this was a very good vocal infused with more personality than I've ever heard from her. I liked it. Result: Advanced
Madison VanDenburg - Who's Loving You - Madison knocked it right out of the park again with another perfect vocal. This girl is ridiculous. That slow vibrato is one of the most gorgeous things I've ever heard. And those runs at the beginning? And that glory note at the end? Come on, girl. Come on. Result: Advanced
Myra Tran - How Far I'll Go - Myra's nerves did her in on this one. She started off out of time with the band, never really found the pitch, and finished the performance a lot of out of tune screeching. I hate that she flopped here, because she is still very obviously better than several of the people that the judges put through. Result: Eliminated 
Logan Johnson - Sorry - Logan nearly put me to sleep, as usual. Who cares about his terrible Spanish? I'm so bored. Result: Advanced
Nate Walker - Still - What they showed of Nate's performance was not good. That big note in the middle? I have no idea where he was going with that, but it certainly didn't go anywhere that made a bit of sense. This is another situation that sucks, because he is also better than several of the people they put through, but he surely didn't prove that here. Result: Eliminated 
Dimitrius Graham - Latch - I don't know where this voice of Dimitrius' came from, because Idol surely has never shown us anything like this from him in the past. The only thing I remember him doing is completely butchering Wind Beneath My Wings in the first round of Hollywood. But anyway, I actually liked this performance, from the subtle beginning to the big notes at the end. It was a little dramatic though. Result: Advanced
Ashley Hess - Gone Away - Ashley delivered a pretty nice vocal here. I didn't like the song choice at all and her vocal didn't excite me in any way. I actually don't have any feelings about it at all. Result: Advanced
Drake McCain - Girls Like You - Drake's vocal here was really, really rough. Definite proof that he doesn't belong in this competition and shouldn't have even made it this far. Result: Eliminated
Kai the Singer - Where the Wild Things Are - This was an absolutely terrible vocal. There is no reason whatsoever that the judges should have even said yes to her in her initial audition, and this was proof of that fact. Result: Eliminated
Laci Kaye Booth - Georgia on My Mind - This vocal was absolutely gorgeous. This song has been done to death on this show, and she still managed to bring something fresh to it. However, I do really wish that somebody would tell her to stop doing that little hiccup thing and just sing the whole word, because her tendency to do that is ruining something that could otherwise be fantastic. Result: Advanced
Nick Townsend - Hold Back the River - Nick delivered another of several terrible vocal performances tonight. The whole thing was out of tune and the chorus was basically just shouting. Result: Eliminated
Walker Burroughs - Youngblood - Walker is such a breath of fresh air. It is so nice every once in a while to see someone just sit at the piano and sing a song with perfect pitch, tone, dynamics -- no theatrics, no dancing, no vocal acrobatics even. Just a timeless voice that doesn't need any gimmicks whatsoever. On top of all that, his self-awareness is admirable. For him to say that this was his weakest performance -- when there was virtually nothing wrong with it that would be apparent to anyone else -- shows great self-awareness. Result: Advanced
Ryan Hammond - A Song For You - I think Ryan may have won me over with this vocal. This was gorgeous and showed off the full, rich quality of his tone without any of that annoying, swallowed sound that has been bothering me in the past. Very dynamic performance -- beautiful in both the soft, subtle moments and the big power moments. Result: Advanced
Kate Barnette - Royals - I feel like I probably would have enjoyed Kate's funky take on this song had they showed enough of it for me to make a judgement. All I know is I like what I heard. Result: Advanced
Evelyn Cormier - No Roots - My problem with Evelyn up to this point has been the fact that she obviously has a voice in there somewhere, but she has been covering it up with some fake nonsense. This could have been the first time I ever got Evelyn. But again, they didn't really show enough for me to say. From what I heard, this is the kind of vibe that actually works and makes sense for her. Blues, funky stuff. The moaning on the ballads is gonna have to stop. Result: Advanced
Emma Kleinberg - Is This Love - What they showed of Emma's performance wasn't anything worth talking about. However, based on her audition and what little she did here, I feel like she's better than several people the judges put in the top 20. But I haven't seen enough of her to really know, so I can't really care about her getting cut. Result: Eliminated 
Uche - Play that Funky Music - Oh. My. God. I was freaking out for the entirety of Uche's performance. A+++ song choice for him. The opening scream!! And the run that followed!! Those low notes!!! What on Earth!!! How he managed all that dancing and running around while still delivering those insane vocals is far beyond my comprehension. This was the wildest thing I've ever seen on Idol. Dude is a born performer. Result: Advanced
Alejandro Aranda - Yellow - I've had enough of Alejandro putting me to sleep. They need to take that guitar away from him and make him just stand there and sing. See how impressed people are when they have nothing to distract them from his vocal mediocrity. Geez. Result: Advanced
Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon - Landslide - Jeremiah is a special, special talent. I expected him to be on piano for this song, but no. He just stood there and sang with that gorgeous tone of his, delivered a perfect vocal, and brought tears to my eyes. He's another one who is proof that if you have a truly great voice, you don't need any sort of crutch or gimmick. Every performance of his is so genuine. He pours his soul into every song he sings and you can literally feel his pain. I don't know that I've ever experienced anything like that with any other singer. And what a sweet guy. Result: Advanced
Shayy - All I Ask - Shayy's entire vocal was a shaky, out of tune, screechy mess. She's very clearly not ready for a competition like this and needs lessons to learn to better control her voice. Result: Eliminated 
Riley Thompson - Mama's Broken Heart - Welcome to Karaoke Night with Riley. This performance elicits nothing but a lot of eye rolling from me. Average to poor vocals, no originality whatsoever, annoying tone, too young. Ridiculous that they put her through. Truly ridiculous. Result: Advanced
Wade Cota - Work Song - Is this a joke? Seriously guys. He's been bad before, but this was another level of bad. His enunciation and growly tone were exaggerated to the point of complete absurdity. No one should ever take him seriously if he can't take himself seriously. "Why" was precisely the response he should have had to the judges' telling him he made the top 20. Nonsense. Result: Advanced
Margie Mays - All About that Bass - A really bad vocal and a really stupid song choice. She definitely did herself in with that. Result: Eliminated 
Eddie Island - Don't You Worry Child - Eddie's trying real hard to make me dislike him with his obnoxious goofiness. I like his voice when he stays in his lower range, but when he reaches for higher notes like he did on this song, he gets real shouty and annoying. Result: Advanced
Tyler Mitchell - Suitcase - I swear, I've never seen a person with less of a personality than Tyler. The guy has a nice voice, but this wasn't great. Just mediocre and very boring. Result: Eliminated 
Laine Hardy - Come Together - Listen. When that boy came out on the stage with his new, polished look and asked the crowd, "Y'all ready to party with the Hardy?" I yelled at my TV. YES SIR. YOU GO RIGHT AHEAD. I really enjoyed this performance and I wish they had shown us more of it. I wasn't sure about the song choice at first, but I loved the grit his voice brought to it. I'm so glad Laine knows who he is now, and I'm so glad he's showing the world that he's not a country singer. He is a blues rock star, y'all, and I'm loving it. Result: Advanced
