A few days ago, I heard Ryan Seacrest mention that Orianthi will be playing at my local Best Buy this weekend. I’m so happy I caught that announcement!
So my friends and I met up today at Best Buy and watched her perform a few songs from her album. She performed “Drive Away,” “Bad News,” and my favorite “According to You.” For those of us who came earlier, we got a pre-show when she was doing her sound check. :)
If you haven’t heard her music yet, you’ll soon find out that she’s an amazing guitarist. She’s worked with incredible musicians like Carrie Underwood, Steve Vai, Carlos Santana, and Michael Jackson. Here’s a full interview with her from iProng Magazine.
You can purchase Orianthi’s Believe cd or take a listen to the album below:

I had the opportunity to see Cirque du Soleil’s Beatles Love show in Las Vegas during Blog World Expo 2009 this year. I have to say it’s one of my favorite Vegas shows so far.
At the entrance of the theatre, your eyes are dazzled with the beautiful color-changing lights that decorate the walkway from top to bottom.
I was pleasantly surprised at how clear and crisp the music was from my seat. I later learned that each seat had 3 speakers on it, which means over 6,500 total in the theatre to create the most complex audio system in the world! I can’t think of a better deserving music than the Beatles Love.

The traffic to The Grove wasn’t too bad. There was just a long line waiting to get into the parking structure. We got there a little after 5pm so we were still quite early!
After we parked and looked down to see the stage, I was just in awe. The lights and decorations were magnificent! I was immediately filled with Christmas spirit!
As I went down each flight of escalator, I could feel the excitement building up! We walked down the red carpet and into this Winter Wonderland… wow, lots of sparkling lights, Santa’s workshop, and giant lolipops!
Next to Santa’s workshop was The Band From TV’s booth. I wanted the cd! And lucky me, they had autographed ones! So I got that and they gave me a raffle ticket to fill out.
