Hi everybody.
I'm back from Michigan. As soon as i'm back from floating in a cloud, i'll post some reviews about those incredible(and the word is not too strong!) shows that Martina gave during the weekend.
But first thing first: I want to tell you about my meet and greet.
Here's how things happened:
--------------------------------------------
MARTINA:"Hello, How are you?"
CLAUDE:"Hello Martina, It's a such an honor to meet you, i'm a such a huge fan"
(~At this time i gave the videotape that i brought for her~)
"I brought you a gift, i have a large collection of videos of you and what i did is i put together clips of members of your family like Emma,Delaney,John and your dad Daryl on it"
MARTINA:"Thank you"
CLAUDE: "I'm coming from Montreal,Canada"
MARTINA: "Oh i love Montreal! It's a lovely city! Even i only went there just once"
CLAUDE:"For safe in the arms of love.."
MARTINA:"That's right!!!"
(~At this point, i could tell by her reaction that she knew that i wasn't kidding about being a huge fan~)
(~we are getting ready to take the pic~)
MARTINA:"Montreal is a lovely city!"
CLAUDE: "When are you coming back?"
MARTINA: "Soon, i hope!"
(~Picture taken~)
CLAUDE:"Could you sign my CD?"
(~I took out my White Christmas CD out. I tried to open it, but i was so nervous at this point, that my left was shaking a lot. Martina was nice enough to do it from me which is a good thing cause i think we would still be there if she didn't:)~)
MARTINA: "What's your name?"
CLAUDE:"Claude"
MARTINA: "That's C-L-A-U-D-E, right?"
(~At this point, i wasn't sureif she spelled my name correctly, but thinking back, i'm pretty sure she did get it right the first time~)
CLAUDE:"C-L-A-U-D-E"
(~Martina writes my name as i'm spelling it~)
CLAUDE: "That's french"(~I have no idea why i mentionned that,lol~)
CLAUDE: "Thank you Martina"
-----------------------------------------
Then i took my coat and bag back and was ready to leave when i heard "Sir,sir".
"You are forgetting your camera!". LOL! I'm so much on Cloud 9 at this point that i was going to forget the camera!
Here's more impressions from me:
I couldn't beleive just how pretty Martina truly is!!! I mean i saw in concert before and i do have tons of videos on her, but she is even more gorgeous in person that she is on video. To say that Martina has beautiful eyes, is the understatement of the year!
I really got the impression that Martina would love to come to Montreal, and that she was not just saying that to be polite. It's the fact that she said twice that is really a big clue here. So i guess i can still keep my fingers crossed for a show in my home town someday.
That night, i wasn't able to sleep at all. I must have replayed that 2-3 minutes something like 100 times in my mind. Without any doubt, a great moment that i will never forget if i get to live 200 years!!
