This was my first time going to concert at Radio City Music Hall and let me tell you that it is a beautiful theatre. I really hope I get to go there again because the sound system was great and the staff was lovely. Anyways, we got there quiet early… and by early, I mean really early. My Aunt and I were the first ones in lines for Pentatonix’s meet and greet. I’m usually never the first in line for a meet and greet so this was a first.

We checked in and they lead us to what was almost the basement of the theatre and it was beautiful, rugged floors, vending machines, beautifully designed walls, everything. We had our VIP laminates and there was a Pentatonix background and a desk on the side with five chairs. The person in charge of the meet and greet told us instructions and that we weren’t allowed to hug them or anything. But after our pictures, they would sign one thing for us and we can give them gifts and what not.

Eventually, Pentatonix came out from a side door of the room and everyone cheered as they lined in front of their background for the meet and greet. They told us to put our stuff behind one a table that was a feet few away. I was very nervous because I’ve been listening to PTX since 2013 and never got to go to one of their concerts until now. When I walked forward to them they all said “Heyyyyyyy” simultaneously, it was great. I was fangirling because it was like at the end of one of their videos and you can hear Avi’s deep voice and just gah… it was great.

I didn’t have time to think of a pose and I didn’t really want one but they were so sweet and caring. I just love them so much. Once every one was done with their pictures, they lined us up again in the same order and whoever you were with, you got to spend your own time with the group as they signed stuff and took gifts. I thought that was a very nice way of doing it and it was unique in a way because not many meet and greets have the time where you can talk to your favorite artist for a short period of time.

In the order that they were sitting in, it was Avi, Kirsti, Scott, Mitch and Kevin. I gave them all the letters that I had written for them and I each gave them two, as individually and in a group so they could all read the same ones. I even get Scott and Mitch their own for Superfruit and how much I loved their youtube channel. (For those who don’t know, Superfruit is the best show on the internet… their words, not mine.) And then I had told Kevin that he had answered one of my questions during his Q+A video snapchat. I had asked him where in the world where would he want to visit that he hasn’t been to before (on facebook) and he replied with Dubai. Then he realized it was me and was like “Hey! It’s so lovely to finally meet you!”

Then they gave us a signed posted and then we left to wait for the concert. We didn’t have to go back outside, which was great, and then we waited for the concert to start. During PTX’s set, only a few girls and I were standing since mostly everyone was sitting when they came on. But I was one of the only three girls that stood in my section. They were absolutely mind blowing. If you have seen their videos, of course they are fantastic but when you see them live, it is a thousand times better. What made me so happy was that for their Michael Jackson Medley, they had gotten a standing ovation because everybody loved it. They even sang their cover of La La Latch, a few originals, their new cover Cheerleader and many more.

Now when Kelly came on, the crowd went nuts. Of course I did as well because I do love Kelly but that was besides the point. There wasn’t a single person sitting and Kelly really knows how to put on a show. She sang a mixture of old songs and a lot of new ones, which I had liked and sang a few of my favorites as well such as Stronger, My Life Would Suck Without You and Dance With Me. The crowd was singing along and Kelly was dancing on that stage with bare feet. I never saw anyone perform without shoes on before so that was a first. But she was just dancing and having a good time and interacting with the crowd, it was great. Below is my meet and greet picture with Pentatonix 🙂 Tell me in the comments below what your favorite Pentatonix and or Kelly Clarkson song? Have you seen them live before as well? Tell me your experiences :).
