Another Take On How Miranda Cosgrove Took Montclair

You wouldn't send a sports writer to review an art show, right? So the the idea of sending an adult to review teen star Miranda Cosgrove's concert just didn't seem right. Instead, Patch photographer and writer Bob Krasner took his 11-year-old daughter Ava to do the job right. In addition, we wrangled a one-on-one which was posted last week. Here also, is Ava's review.

Miranda Cosgrove, otherwise known as the star of tv's iCarly and also the little sister named Megan in Drake and Josh has a new career as a singer. She has just released her first album called Sparks Fly. When Miranda visited New Jersey in the Wellmont Theatre in Montclair recently fans were screaming her name. She performed 13 songs. My top favorites were Leave It All To Me (the theme song to iCarly), Just a Girl, Sayonara, and Dancing Crazy. Another one that caught my ear was the medley that she did. She chose three of her favorite songs from her iPod and sang them together. They were Dynamite, Bulletproof, and I Got a Feeling.

Miranda had a very sparkly and fashionable style. My favorite outfits were the first one (white jacket and mirror mini-skirt) and the gold pants at the end. But that's my opinion. She was very energetic and I liked the way she moved with her dancers. She went back and forth across the stage and sometimes touched all the hands that were reaching out to her. When she would start a song that everyone liked her fans would run up to the stage and put their hands up so that she would touch them! It got really competitive. People were pushing and the security men had to make them go away from the stage.

She also had a very nice stage. I liked the way it was lit up. At the end she had glitter come out of what looked like a cannon. Lastly, I think that she sang very well but she is way more famous for her acting. But her fans were screaming their heads off!

Thirteen year old Greyson Chance opened the show with his own songs and some by other people like Lady Gaga and Jay-Z. Although I had never heard of him, he had lots of fans there. When he announced that he would be meeting people in the back of the theatre, they all ran to get in line!
