The Honda Center, previously known as the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim and colloquially called The Pond,  is an indoor arena in Anaheim, California. The arena is home to the National Hockey League’s Anaheim Ducks and was home of the former National Lacrosse League’s Anaheim Storm, which folded in 2005. Originally named the Anaheim Arena, it was completed in 1993 at a cost of $123 million. Arrowhead Water paid $15 million for the naming rights over 10 years in October 1993. Honda later acquired the naming rights to the arena for $60 million over 15 years which changed its name in October 2006.

THE CLASS SWEETHEART: Clad in cowboy boots and a sparkly top that complemented her long flowing blonde hair, Didi Benami opened the show with a mellow set – a beautiful song called “Lay it On Me” by Kyler England and broke out her acoustic guitar for her big Hollywood moment, “Terrified” by Katharine McPhee. Benami’s voice was once described as “Feist-y” but she also was reminiscent of Taylor Swift, with a much better voice though. She has a unique musicality and put heart and soul into her performances. Beautiful in every way possible. ~Karen Datangel from her tour review

My personal favorites of the night were Lee, Crystal, Aaron, Siobhan, Andrew, and Didi, but each one of them put forth their best efforts to create their own mini-show to become part of one fun spectacular. Despite the poor viewership and fan and media criticism this past season, the stars of American Idol season 9 showed that they have potential to be bigger and win you over. So don’t write them off just yet. ~Karen Datangel from her tour review
