Don't miss Jordin Sparks and Alicia Keys when they come to your town!

My wife and son went to Jingle Ball at the Target Center in Minneapolis. They said it was a great time and everyone was awesome. They both really liked Avril Lavigne and Good Charlotte. With Jordin coming in third. My wife said that nobody was really into Blake's performance. She said she kinda felt sorry for him. I've attached a few (not so great) photos from the show.

You can view all of the Jingle Ball pix on flickr.

KDWB Jingle Ball 2007 is happening December 7th, 2007 at the Target Center in Minneapolis. Performers are Avril Lavigne, Timbaland featuring One Republic & Keri Hilson, Good Charlotte, Fabolous, Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis. Kanye West was scheduled to appear, but had to drop off at the last moment due to family issues.

My wife and kid are going tonight, I'll let you know what their revue is in a later post.
