Maybe I should make this a new weekly kind of thing… a sort of interesting videos of the week post. I dunno, but there were a few things I saw today and over the past few days that I wanted to share, this first one being the most important.
Tiffany Thornton did an interview where che confirms that “So Random!” hasn’t been renewed for a new season, as we’ve suspected for a while, and she recounts some fond memories from SWAC and SR.
Tiff’s obviously gonna be busy with the baby for a while, but I hope you’ll join me in demanding that Disney cast Allisyn and Audrey in a new series immediately.
Also on the subject, here’s a great video of Tiffany and Chris’s Wedding with an introduction from Demi Lovato.
I had posted this one on the Debby forum earlier in the week. Popstar seems to enjoy invading Debby Ryan’s personal space. LOL
Finally, here’s one of Arwin’s favorite videos of Disney XD’s Olivia Holt and Kelli Berglund doing their best Katniss imitations.
As I had mention in my post yesterday, Tiffany Thornton hosted a special concert at the Roxy in LA on April 22nd 2012.
It was a fantastic event overall, although I have to say that the turn out was disapointing as you can see from the crowd in front of the Roxy aprox. 30 minutes before showtime.
Tiffany herself performed three songs, “Man Up,” “I Am Me Because of You,” and “Sure Feels Like Love” (Watch the videos Here).
There was a meet and greet with Tiffany and some of the other performers at the begining of the show, but due to timing issues photos were not allowed durring the meet and greet. However, Tiff did sign one of her new “Beloved” shirts for me.
I caught up with her at the end of the show to ask her about the new tattoo on her wrist. It’s her husband’s name, and he has her name and face on his arm! As I thanked her and turned to leave she said to me “Hey, you’re not leaving without taking a picture with me.” to which I managed to stammer a “oh, sure.” Unfortunately, the girl working my camera didn’t quite know what she was doing and she caught me just as I was about to say something. Oh well.
Also in attendance were several of her So Random castmates: Matthew Scott Montgomery, Audrey Whitby, and Allisyn Ashley Arm.
Allisyn and Audrey were quite the popular pair, with several Disney/Teen fansites asking for photos and interviews.
I’ve saw Allisyn and Matthew last year at the D23 Expo but it was cool to finally meet Audrey and get a pic with both girls.
Another unexpected guest was Cassie Scerbo from ABC Family’s Make It or Break It whom is aparently very good friends with Tiffany.
This was my first time seeing Savvy & Mandy perform.
I was quite impressed. And Savvy is pretty cute too.
Savannah Outen is also very pretty. Especially in that dress.
I hadn’t heard her before, and I was quite impressed.
And I’ve never watched Twilight, so I didn’t really know who Booboo Stewart was, but the band 5-L was pretty good, and his sister Fivel has some serious dance moves. (Did you watch the videos?)
There are a lot more of my photos (50+) from the show in the image gallery. Be sure to click on any photo above to see the full set.
Tiffany Thornton hosted a special benifit show at the Roxy in Los Angeles on April 22nd to raise awareness about Meningitis. She had contracted Meningitis when she was 19 and spent 10 days in the hospital. You can find out more about about Meningitis and the Meningitis vaccine at Voices of Meningitis.
Tiffany performed an acoustic set of three songs, including two never before heard songs…
Also performing were Trevor Jackson (from the upcoming DCOM Let It Shine), Sister act Savvy and Mandy:
Boy band, Pop! Fiction:
YouTube star, Savannah Outen:
And 5-L (featuring Booboo Stewart from Twilight and his sister Fivel).
They talked a little bit about this back at the D23 Expo. I’m excited that Tiffany Thornton is in it. Brenda and Zendaya are okay too, I guess. I’m not really eager to hear Zendaya sing more but whatevs. It was gonna happen one way or another.
