I was there on the front row at this concert. it was her first time singing an original in front of an audience. gotta say, loved her personality on AI but not impressed with her vocals on the show... but she sounded amazing live! the song totally worked for her. geaux megan! so impressed.

david cook was there too (he was of course awesome. hard to pick my favorite between him and better than ezra that night). both he and megan were very friendly, walking around the crowd taking pictures and talking to fans. great night. hopefully megan comes back to louisiana for her tour... I'd go. her stage presence was pretty entertaining and she did more than just her lil jerk-twist she made famous during rockin' robin (or any song she sang on AI).

oh and by the way, to explain why david and megan were there:

lead singer of ezra, kevin griffin cowrites songs for a slew of artists (including david and megan... and howie day). the concert that night was ezra's annual charity benifit in new orleans and they always ask some of their celeb buddies (usually people who kevin has helped with songwriting) to join them that night.

johnathan silverman was there too (weekend at bernies anyone?) and ryan cabrera (dude needs to take it easy on the hair gel. just saying).
