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?
Dear Peter,
ReplyDeleteWow! That was some evening out! My favorite photo was the one with the confetti showering down. I imagined you and your brother grabbing handfuls!
I enjoy going to see musical events. A memorable one for me was seeing B.B. King. Although he is quite old, 88 years old, he continues to tour and his blues show was one of the best I've ever seen!
What is the capacity of the Staples Center?

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
DeleteThank you for the wonderful comment from a wonderful blogger! My favorite photo was also the confetti showering down on the crowd! The capacity of Staples Center is approximately 18,000 people during basketball games, if you were to go to a concert, their would be about 20,000 people seated. The teams that play their are the Los Angeles Sparks, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Los Angeles Kings.
Do you know what B.B King's guitar is named?
Have you ever been to Staples Center?
Good luck for EduBlogs awards!
Hey Peter. It was great hanging out with you and your brother at the Jingle Ball. We sure were lucky to have such great seats. My favorite part of the show was singing along to "Thrift Shop" with you guys.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work with your blog I always love to read it and keep up with what you are doing.
Hope it's warmer in California than it is here in Chicago!
