Cincinnati pics, last show in Indianapolis..... No Words.....Only Love....

Hey everybody!  Well, I really don't know where to start with today's post.....my mind is flooded with things I want to say, and I really don't know how to begin.  This is not the end.....it is.....the beginning, for every one of these Idols.  They will all go in different directions tonight after the show, and very possibly not ever see each other again.  That, to me, is sad.....and I'm sure there will be tears shed tonight as they each say good-bye to a group of  people that have become like family to them.  And I'm not just talking about the 10 Idols, I'm also referring to all the band members, the backup singers, the sound people, the stagehands, the bus drivers..... they have all become like one big family this summer, and it's going to be sad for each one of them!  
On a different note, they are all drained, physically and emotionally!!  They all will be going home for a much needed break from the long and grueling Summer Tour!  Although we are happy that they finally get some rest, we are all asking ourselves and each other......what now???  How do we fill our days, without this tour to talk about??  Well, I, for one, am going to take a little break myself for a few days, not right now, but in a couple days, but not for long!!  During that time, I will be in the process of giving Caseymania a face-lift......if ya will!!  A much needed re-dressing, because we're going other places now!!  We have to get dressed for the future Caseymania!!  This site will be following the Career of Casey James, just like it followed the very first tour of him!!  We have watched, with tears in our eyes at times, as our boy fought, and fought hard to stay on his feet and not go down during this incredible tour!!  He's been sick through some of it, but I know he would not have ever gave up, thats not Casey!!  And tonight, the show in Indianapolis closes the curtain on the Season 9 American Idols!  I am sad and glad at the same time.....I know now Casey will finally get that much needed rest he was so desperately seeking!!  He's coming Home to Texas to get rejuvenated and relaxed with family, friends and his precious dogs!!
I hope he has a wonderful and relaxed time at home as he prepares for the next chapter in his life......Nashville, and a brand new record deal with Sony Nashville!!  I wish him lots of luck!!


Earlier today we got yet another.....'little yellow note' from our boy Casey!!  Here's what he had to say about this day!!  Bless his sweet little heart!!




Ok.....I'm in tears now......give me a second.....ummm......I'm ok, just a bit overwhelmed right now.....he is such a beautiful soul.....no one kinder, or more grateful......what a great role model to young children..... I just love this guy!!

I came across some nice photos from Cincinnati, and I'll post a couple of those now!!



Thanks to lee-dewyze.net for these great shots...... of Casey!!


I found a nice review from Chicago and they say some really cool things about our Casey, even though that is DeWyze territory!!!  Oh of course, Lee got all the glory, but thats ok, OUR American Idol was also noticed!!! *wink*

  1. Well, Glenda, I was crying the whole time I read your posting today because its the end of the tour and so much has happened. I'm having a hard time with words, but I don't think my fixes will be so easy anymore, at least for a while. It's been a great ride for me as I watched every moment of the tour on this site and on Burn This Media, too. I will miss LNS so much, the lightheartedness of the idols in it, Big Mike's awesomely huge smile :0 and the smiles it brought to me and all the fans. It's just been great seeing Casey come from Denver to where he is now and changing so many hearts along the way. He's this Texas cowboy rounding up fans by the multitudes with his lasso. He's my music man. I love that guy!!! Can't wait for my next trip. Thanks again for the ride.

  2. Thank you Glenda...I love how you write so beautifully! I have so much I could say, but I'll tell this quick story for today! I've been out of town for the past few days and I have SO MUCH to read and catch up on this morning! My travels took me through Denver Airport yesterday and my thoughts were all about Casey's first audition there and the beginning. And now here we were and it was the last day/night of the Idol tour. Then something interesting happened. As the plane took off up into a beautiful blue sky late in the afternoon, I turned on my I-Pod which is on Shuffle and I have hundreds of tunes. I couldn't believe it, truly couldn't believe it. There was Casey James singing "Blue Skies"...what a really unbelievable experience! I might add here, Casey's voice sounds just amazing on "Blue Skies", absolutely beautiful!
    It is all rather OVERWHELMING today!
    Really looking forward to seeing the new Caseymania facelift. Love the way it looks now but a new look for a new time as we go forward, sounds great.
    Yes, it was an honor and pleasure to meet Casey in Seattle. I'm a fan for life!
