Fellow Chasers:
You have no doubt heard of the phrase: "being on cloud 9". I don't know the origins of that saying, but if Ryan or any Chaser trivia buffs would like to enlighten me, please feel free! All I know, is that it refers to an elevated sense of well-being. A surreal feeling.
Well, after my recent experience at SNC's concert last Friday, in Youngstown, I could only conclude that SNC deserves, no, has Earned the right to have a "cloud" named just for them. I mean if people can pay big bucks to name a star, why can't we name a cloud, right?! This is absolutely imperative in my opinion, as:
1) Cloud 9 does not do justice to the feelings one is left with after attending a SNC Concert, not to mention the Meet and Greet!
2) There are not 9, but 10 men in SNC!
3) The men of SNC take you "higher" than cloud 9!
4) To me, SNC is a little slice of heaven on this earth, and the guys are just angels singing (see Like a Prayer if you need proof), and many of us have commented on their "angelic voices". Where else might "Angels" be singing, but on a cloud?!
So, fellow Chasers, please cast your vote below, if you agree to name "CLOUD 10" to be SNC's very own cloud. (I'm not alone in this feeling, am I?) To describe... how their music and concerts and videos make you feel: (like you are floating on Cloud 10)! Please feel free to add to the list of reasons, as well as describe your personal experiences.
Every vote counts, and this is, after all and appropriately, election day,... SO
Vote Now...
Not to put a monkey wrench into things, but I was thinking about the name. Since this IS for the guys & there are ten of them, how about Chaser - 10. Kinda like how they name the stars (sometimes it's a letter/number combo). Like I said, I'm not trying to put a monkey wrench into things. Just trying to toss ideas around. If you want to keep it at Cloud 10, that's fine too!
@Vixter@Brittain@ToriCanuck - Thank you fellow Chasers!! (I was starting to think I was alone on Cloud 10)! Hopefully more Chasers will vote, and we can make it "Official"!
I have always prayed for SNC but after witnessing, last Friday, how very hard they work, I now know I really have to step my prayers for these guys up a notch! (just to keep up with them!!)
Beautiful story, Gayle! And I vote yes!!
YES!!! Gayle, this is too funny! I love your reasons, well done!
Yes! Yes! A thousand times YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Marcaich - Is that a "yes" or a no vote?!
"I have still not come down from Cloud 10, and in part thanks to many videos posted! For this I REALLY DO #blameCarla!!!! "
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
eradicated any functioning cells left in my brain! I mean I was still trying to "process" what I had just witnessed - of how much they gave and left of themselves on that stage, and to try to comprehend how He could be thanking Me for coming, was not possible. I could not so much as offer a single syllable in response. Then the next member repeated Jerome's sentiments, distinctively louder saying: "Thank you for coming to the concert". By this time I was not sure if they thought I was being rude or if they knew that "Cloud 10 look" (which I'm sure they must by now) and, boys being boys, were "pushing the envelope". Without uttering a sound, I proceeded to the next gentleman which I had a message to deliver to, which I did, but not without obvious communication difficulties! Shortly after that it all hit me, and I did what any self respecting, sensitive woman would do...I started to cry. I mean a body can only take so much!! Luckily, by this time there were only two fellows left, which I couldn't even make eye contact with let alone utter so much as a grunt, except when they gave me my cd, to acknowledge how well they follow people's items going through the line! I have no doubt that this "Cloud 10" state must, by now, be easily spotted by "the guys"!!! To say that they Rocked that concert, or that they "blew my socks off", or that they were "phenomenal", would only be understatements! To say that they transported me to Cloud 10 seems the only way I can describe it. I have still not come down from Cloud 10, and in part thanks to many videos posted! For this I REALLY DO #blameCarla!!!!
Allow me to go first...Of course I vote yes. My experience began, after dinner, with the first song of the evening, (They were RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!!!), with Mike doing some might fine dance moves. It was then that my "out of body" or "surreal" feelings began. They started the concert out STRONG and did NOT let up the ENTIRE concert! Do you hear me? The 50's medley, early on, did not hurt one bit either! With each song, I felt myself being transported, or taken, or lifter higher and higher. Being front row and Center only added to this experience, as they did look larger than life, understandably! They had no intermission, and each man gave so much of himself with each song the ENTIRE time. The encores were way too awesome, as well. Needless to say by the time I got to the end of the line of the Meet and Greet, I was somewhere else, really. I did manage to say a few literate things, I think, but that quickly changed. One or two guys, or maybe even three or four, I could have spoken with somewhat coherently, but I found myself quickly tongue tied as I made it half way through the line. I think, of all people, it was Jerome, who said "Thanks for coming to the concert", which completely
