AMBER DELIVERS

From the moment she stepped out onto the red carpet you knew something extraordinary was about to occur- and it did! AMBER arrived !!! With all the buildup I thought for sure it was just hype and not going to be so great- was I wrong. The event superseded anything I could have imagined. From the moment Antonio Cedeno presented the event and stood on the side like a nervous papa waiting for the birth of his first child, to her finale was the most memorable time I have spent at Feathers in quite a long time. Amber started with “If You Could Read My Mind” and midway through the number had the audience singing along with her. In fact she handed the mike to some of them! Imagine their thrill telling friends that they shared the mike with Amber! After the song the excitement and cheering rose to a new high at Feathers! People were stamping and screaming for more- and they got it…Side story; I used to always call the song “YES” the breast song. I DROVE LADY TITA (who was the DJ and tore the place up before, during and after! 10 thumbs up to her) crazy when it first came out and I wanted to find out the name, even when AMBER was booked I mentioned the “breast song” and everyone had no clue what I was talking about. Well, AMBER, herself, referred to “YES” as the “Breast song” –score for me! Everyone went insane when she sang, what I feel will always be her best and most memorable song! After the “Breast Song” she spoke to the audience and was so eloquent and humble. She stated her love for the gays and how without them there would be no AMBER. She was so appreciated and thankful! She allowed me to get to know her as a person and I liked her. Then it happened – she started to sing a Ballard with a familiar tone. It was pretty and as it went on the tune became clearer and the audience rose to the excitement! It was “SEXUAL” . Well no one expected it and when she picked up the beat the audience went right along with her! EXCELLENT! Great way to close the performance and the audience left satisfied!
But wait- I walk downstairs and what do I see? Amber is there doing a meet and greet. She chatted with all her fans and posed for pictures. It was like meeting the cast of “GLEE”! These guys were hanging all around and posing for pictures with the same grin a child posing with Santa has on their face! She sat down there until everyone was happy and then called an end to the evening- it was after 1am! What a night! Before closing I do want to send out a “shout out” to Feathers security! They were GREAT last night Larry, Rob and the rest ! Excellent job- it was noticed and appreciated! I don’t know how Antonio Cedeno, John Rizzo and Lady Tita is going to top this, but I am betting they will! I hear EVOLUTION Friday is hosting first rate stand up comedians!
