JANN ARDEN: YOU'RE SO VAINJann Arden concert! "You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht. Your hat strategically dipped below one eye, your scarf it was apricot. You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte. And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner, they'd be your partner, and you're so vain! You probably think this song is about you! You're so vain! I'll bet you think this song is about you? Don't you? Don't you? Ever since Jann Arden's "Uncover Me" album dropped, I've been singing along to her cover of Carly Simon's hit song. I also ordered an apricot scarf off of eBay and planned my wardrobe of what to wear to her concert. Then I kept believing and dreaming that Jann Arden would bring me up on stage. And it happens! After the first three songs, Jann talks to the crowd. She sees me and says "don't you look dashing!" I scream out "apricot scarf." Jann replies, "Apricot scarf, I might just do that one." When it comes time to sing "You're So Vain," she says, "Apricot scarf come on up." I hand my camera over to Wendy and I jump on stage in the blink of an eye, and that startles Jann. She walks over to me and starts talking and I take off my hat to reveal my lime green hair. "Jann I dyed my hair lime green just as you asked me to at the Mariah Carey concert." She totally remembers who I am and starts talking about Mariah Carey. I also tell her that she'll be receiving flowers from Sandra in Calgary. She asks if she is at the show too and I tell her she was unable to come on up. Jann says, "I never liked her anyways." I also say into the microphone that I don't sing. When she asks what I do, I tell her "I follow you and Mariah around." She says, "You sleep with a guy once and he'll never leave you alone." What an incredible night as she sings me a song that so describes me. I'm lypsynching away and totally hamming it up for the audience. Jann does pass the microphone to me, but I turn away, and I'm sure I blush cherry red. When I go back to my seat, I have to cross the stage and Jann yells, "Would you just sit down already!" It is an awesome night, the highlight of my year thus far. LEAVE A COMMENT
