Adam868 Posted July 13, 2005 at 03:14 AM Posted July 13, 2005 at 03:14 AM Hey Everyone,I was in Atlantic City, New Jersey for the past 2 days with my best friend James, his mom, and my mom. A wonderful time on the beach...but I HAD to share this story with you...There is a show at the Bally's Casino called "Legends in Concert". It is where people who sound and look like like famous singers come on stage to sing...basically impersonators. And they switch singers every like month or so. For the concert we went to 2 nights ago, they were The Four Tops, Cher, Rod Stewart, Prince, and Elvis.I'm a big fan of Cher by the way. So we're sitting in the audience and Cher goes "Now obviously for this next song I need a little bit of help." Then she comes down into the audience of about 800 people. She walks around and my mom, James, and his mom are yelling and pointing at me haha. So she comes up to me and goes "Would you like to come down and help me with I Got You Babe"? I said "Sure" and Was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nervous! So I got on stage and introduced myself, and she put a wig and mustache on me to look like Sonny! She started singing and told me to sing along at the chorus. But while she was singing the verses of the famous song she sees me mouthing the words. So she goes "Do you know this part"? I go "yeah" and she gives me the microphone! So I sang half of the song by myself on stage and the crowd went wild. Then at the end of the song she goes "I've been doing this for 2 years now, and I have never had anyone actually sing the song with me...everyone always just does the chorus." So I left and got her autograph...NOW:The next night, which was last night we're walkin around with nothing to do and this lady comes up and gives us 2 FREE tickets to the same show! So we go in and get the FRONT ROW CENTER SEATS!!! Cher comes on again and sees me! She says "I need help with this next song, but I have someone here who knows who he is. I need his help, so come on up Adam". I was like WOW!!!!!!!! So I go up and introduce myself again, and then she hands me the microphone. And by the way she sounded and looked EXACTLY like Cher, and she did some of Cher's hand motions too...like when she gave me the microphone she bowed twice at me and stepped back. I sang the WHOLE SONG in front of 800 people!! And Cher sang the last few words with me..."I GOT YOU BABE". I got a standing ovation and wow it was amazing and AMAZING!!! haha, it was the best time I've ever had. Here is a picture of me talking with her backstage... (It may not look exactly like Cher here, because she was already getting out of her Cher costume.) http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y75/tv2aa...dKellySmith.bmp Well, thank you for reading this! haha it was so fun, I can't even tell u how amazing it was! Cher is my 2nd favorite singer right next to Celine Dion, and I did see the real Cher back in November on her farewell tour and it was amazing too. Quote

Adam868 Posted July 14, 2005 at 04:45 PM Author Posted July 14, 2005 at 04:45 PM It's not Tracey...I don't know her name but I remember it wasn't Tracey. Some other performer who did good. Actually if you go to: http://www.legendsinconcert.com/legendsinconcert.htm you will see a long video clip of many of the impersonators, Celine iimpersonator is like I think a minute into the clip.
