The concert lineup was amazing! First, Chris Robinson, a movie and music video director (A.T.L.), took the stage with Darryl Cobbin from Boost Mobile to congratulate all of the concertgoers on their hard work. DJ Biz Markie got the crowd riled up before introducing Nick Cannon, the concert's host. Nick had so much energy all night! He danced and talked to audience members between sets. A few lucky girls even got to take pictures with him!

The Kumble is a fitting venue for the historic Sábado de Gloria concert, given that Latin jazz legend Tito Puente received an honorary doctorate from Long Island University in 1994. Impeccably crafted to meet the technical demands of music concerts, the 320-seat theater features a stage extending to the seating area to foster an intimacy between artists and their audiences.

At the Nassau Coliseum Thursday night, Aiken, on a double bill with his "Idol" cohort Kelly Clarkson, played a concert that was startlingly good. There's never been a question whether or not Aiken can sing. What this concert showed was that, when placed under the lights on a concert stage, the lanky Southerner is an entertainer.
