The only reason we went was because Z found out that Alex Boye was going to be having a free outdoor concert. Z was pretty excited.
Alex Boye was really fun.
Super down to earth and easy going.
The fireworks started in the middle of one of the songs he was doing and he had his guys slowly change the beat and then started singing Fireworks by Katy Perry.
Then he started going around the audience to people and having them sing with him.
It was pretty much all girls that would sing. He wanted a guy to get up and sing.
These girls by us volunteered their friend. He ran away, but Alex chased him around the crowd and through the pavilion that was by the stage. He still couldn't get him to sing.
I think he liked having the little kids sing with him the most. He'd make funny noises and have them repeat it back. He does have a few kids that are about the same age, so that could be why.
He interacted with the crowd almost the entire time. He told us to watch the fireworks and not him because the city had paid a lot of money for the display. He even asked if we wanted him to keep singing or to "just shut up for a bit." He was relieved that everyone told him to keep going. Hahaha.
Before we left (the show started at 9:30 and we stayed until like 11) he did a song from this movie that is coming out. The song was about boy scouts. He had all the guys (that wanted to) that had been a boy scout or eagle scout come up to the stage to learn the dance that goes with the song. I wanted them to, but little brother and Z didn't want to go up.
The song he did right as we were going to go (but I had to stay) was by none other than... MJ! You know, cuz they don't really care about us. :P Ya'll know how much I love my MJ. Mm-hmm... ^_^
Say what you want, but he was an amazing artist. and dancer. I admit, he was a little... weird. But he's still awesome.
Sidetracked! Haha.
Anyway, Alex Boye. He was mostly singing in English. He did a few songs in other languages. Like one song is from Haiti.
I went and got Z a cd which also has a dvd with it. He was happy.
That's pretty much all we did at West Fest. The concert and the fireworks. Before the concert we wandered around the food tents but everything that sounded good had really long lines. :(

I thought sure Zac would have wanted to sing. I would have liked to been to that concert. It sounds really fun. You guys and gals always find fun things to do.
I have always liked Michael Jackson. He was a great singer. He was really cute as a little boy.
I agree! All the pictures of him as a little kid were pretty cute.
