Well, kind of.
At the Jacksonville concert, we stayed after by the tour busses. Well worth it, because I got to meet everyone but Chris Sligh, but eh, who cares.
There were about 50-60 fans around me, so I couldn't exactly ask them for pictures with me, but I did manage to get autographs and candid pictures. LaKisha is really short and super nice. Melinda is the exact same as she is on the show. She says "thank you" a lot! Phil's from Jacksonville so he definitely was full of thanks and all that. Blake was cool, he was skateboarding. Chris Richardson was probably the nicest, he asked everyone if they enjoyed the show, and he really made it a point to communicate with as many people as possible instead of just signing autographs and moving on. He's amazing! Haley also came out and she was really nice, she wasn't as vocal as Chris and Blake though. Sanjaya came out on the other gate and I didn't get a picture of him, but I saw him. He seemed like a really nice kid. Gina was also there and I didn't get her to sign anything because there were a group of girls that were all over her, but she's really pretty in person, her teeth are so white!
And dun dun dun, 20-30 minutes passed and it was already like midnight. Everyone was waiting for Jordin so we kept chanting "Jordin! Jordin! Jordin!" I was seriously about to leave and give up and just accept the fact that she's probably recording or practicing or doing press or even sleeping. I was really bummed out, but then... someone yelled out "I SEE HER!" She was at the OTHER gate, and we all RAN! Thank God I was fast because the line GREW! She was really sweet though, she said sorry for not coming out sooner and said she "had to do something". But she quickly signed autographs and took pictures. She signed the cast of this girl on a wheelchair. It got annoying because these little kids kept cutting everyone and we were all like "I know you're little but we were here first!" and their parents told them to chill. I really dislike it when you know, five-year olds get special attention when they're gonna forget about them in 3 years. Well anyway, so I finally go to Jordin with my cousin, and we were in the process of getting our picture taken. We had to step behind the gate though, since that's where she was standing, and the guards told us to go back out but she said "oh, don't listen to them!" She's so amazing, she's so nice, and I give her all the props in the world for treating everyone so wonderfully!
So guys, stay by the tour busses! It's your best bet!
