Jingle Ball!

                                                                 Jingle Ball!
 Jingle Ball by: Peter Jr. and Peter Sr.

Jingle Ball is an annual event in December hosted by KIIS-FM here in Los Angeles. I got the chance to go this year, and what a grand show it was! (A ball is a party, not a ball that youplay with).

The lineup for this year's Jingle Ball was : Miley Cyrus, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, Fifth Harmony, New Politics, Jason Derulo, Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Travie Mcoy, Erinque Iglesias, Robin Thicke, and Austin Mahone.   Some of them sang, some danced, some raped, some write their own songs, some don't - but they were all super entertaining.

I was lucky to go backstage and meet some artists.  My brother and I were also treated to the best seats in the house right next to the stage!  I thought I would share some pictures of this special event with you.      

Here are Macklemore and Ryan Lewis being interviewed live on the radio before their performance.




Here is Jason Derulo performing right in front of my brother and me.  We had an awesome view!




This is a picture of Ryan Seacrest introducing Macklemore & Ryan Lewis to the huge crowd at the Staples Center.



Here is Macklemore on stage singing his hit song "Thrift Shop."  There was a 
big explosion in front of us when the confetti went into the air.  My brother and I tried to catch some
and put it in our pockets to bring home with us.


This is Macklemore right in front of my brother and me.  His real name is Ben.
We got to meet him just a few minutes after he found out he was nominated for seven Grammy awards!
He was excited and so were we!



This is what you see in the hallway backstage for Jingle Ball.  The people at KIIS-FM are super nice hosts, and they sure know how to throw a fun party!  There was a room upstairs behind the stage with all the junk food you could ever want:  Cupcakes, M&Ms, jelly beans, skittles and even cookies.




Have you ever been to a concert?


Do you think Macklemore and Ryan Lewis will win a grammy?


If you could meet any music star, who would you choose?
