I met Ace Young yesterday

My friends work concessions at a minor league stadium nearby and I had to bring them to work yesterday. When I dropped them off we found out that Ace Young (contestant on American Idol season 5) would be there signing autographs and performing so I decided to go. And I am gonna go back in 2 weeks to see the William Hung (season 3 contestant that didn't even make it through) train wreck which shall be interesting :lol:



He sang the anthem, Take Me Out To The Ballgame and then a set after the game. It was a great night. I waited in line with a good chunk of the attendance (probably 600 or more people) to get a signed pic and picture with him. He was so nice and was thrilled that a guy was actually in line to meet him. I only talked to him for a minute but he said thanks for the support and hope to see ya again bro. I was just stopping chewing my gum when the picture was snapped :lol:



He sang a full acoustic set as soon as the game ended and had a group of what seemed to be people with challenges of some sort sitting behind home plate close to him, which was really cool. They had red shirts on that said "I See You". He does a lot of work with charitable organizations, maybe this is one of them as there were handlers with them as well. There also seemed to be fan groups that traveled to see him cuz they all knew each other, knew his guitar player Paul, sounded like they had been to every show he has done, and knew all the words to Scattered. That was cool to see and you could tell he genuinely felt welcomed by the support. After the show, he walked out the back of the stadium where my car was and I talked to him again for a minute or so before the rush of people kind of ran him off and the security closed off the gates :lol: I did the best I could with the videos because people kept leaning out in front of me when he walked to the group of people near the fence. It was a really cool night, especially for an $8 baseball game. He sounded the best I've ever heard him too. I believe he said the cd is coming out in a little while. I hope so. He is great friends with Chris Daughtry (my favorite) and a great guy and he'll have my support. His official website is www.acemusic.com .

Here are my videos of the full concert in order (I think):
