After exploring Hollywood for a bit, it was finally time to head over to the show for the taping. We arrived around 3 PM and were whisked through with our tickets. The live taping wasn’t until 5 PM, but we needed to arrive early and they also did a pre-taped performance with Keith Urban. They actually had him play his song twice – which Maile got a total kick out of – growing up in a DVR world the whole concept of live TV and the fact that they were taping this and it was then going out over the TV was pretty wild for her.
Of course, Maile made friends with all of our nearby seat mates – lots of moms and grandmas that all got a kick out of Maile Girl and her La’Porsha sign. The area in front of the stage was filled with teenagers and Maile was very intrigued by everything going on down there and the “hype man” who came out to get the crowd “rowdy” – “what’s rowdy, daddy?”
The hype man instructed us to clap over our heads during the fast songs and just sway a bit during the slow ones – Maile took down his instructions to a tee.
It was a long afternoon – the show is two hours so we didn’t leave until 7 PM – but Maile did great – she screamed her little heart out for La’Porsha – and probably just because of that her favorite made it to the finale 🙂
Putting the finishing touches on her sign for La'Porsha with glitter glue...
Oh yeah, let's get ready to rock!
One more selfie on the way in - we are very excited!
We made it!
Maile and her sign were very popular with the people we met...
An awesome experience with Maile Girl 🙂
Maile was in a pretty goofy mood after the show, but here’s her quick recap…
