hey guys!!!

it's rebecca again, the same person who did her week o' hanson back with another sighting and review!!! this time, it's from the howie mandel show that was tape today...

since it was on a friday i had to beg my parents to let me go and they actually said yes...they don't really understand my liking hanson, but they let me miss school and go because all my hanson friends i hardly ever see where going to be there..i got there at 9am (because i had to go to school for one period and take a test) and there where a lot of people there for a school day...some of my friends had gotten there at 6 that morning so we where like the 4th or 5th group in line...it really wasn't on a first come first serve basis like the tonight show (what we are used to becuase we go all the time) and you had to call and make a reservations in advance...my friend kristi did and got me a ticket...so we hang out for a while and then decide to go back to the car and change because kristi was told on the phone that we had to dress nice so we went back and changed and then we came back to the line and sat...and sat and sat...we sat forever before we where finally let in..since you only had to be 11 to get in there where tons of younger girls screaming their brains out every time the 5 magic words where said...hanson, zac, isaac, taylor and tulsa...it was insane...so we sit down...we're in the back, on the bleachers, becuase the floor was reserved for grown-ups (18 and up) and some of my friends go to sit right up front in front of the band and in front of where howie sits...the warm up guy and he pretty much sucks like usual, but no one is expecting pure genius, so we sit back and yell out the occasional 'fill in the name of your favorite hanson's HOT' and everytime the warm up guy mentions the 5 sacred words the crowd goes insane...i almost went deaf the first 30 seconds of sitting there...but i joined in the screaming in with the best of them...

after a while it got kind of boring and then howie came out and the show started...that was cool. we yelled for the longest time when howie came out that everyone was getting mad at us, but whatever....howie came out and did his short monologue (which included him doing the Bobby voice, which i love and have always wanted to see him do it, so i was sooo happy!!) and mentioned hanson like a million times and we all went wild like forever....then there was like a half and hr brake that went on forever and the crowded went wild again with the occasional 'i love hanson' screams and everything...then kim delany came out and did her thing and it was like, yeah get on with hanson, but we put up with it, like a good little audiance...

then hanson came out and i have never seen a crowd get soo roused up (except at the concert, but that's a given) it was sooooo loud...first they did the interview and i hardly could hear any of the questions becuase everyone was yelling soooo loud the entire time, i bet the pages (ushers) were ready to kill us all..i heard some of the questions and they where the same basic boring questions that we have all heard a thousand times...at one point taylor said to us, the audience, when howie asked them if their younger siblings where intrested in joining the band if we knew the answer and we all yelled 'NO!' really lond and then they all laughed and howie said that we knew probably knew everything about them or somthing and they said 'ahhh, i don't think so'..that was the funniest part....

then that ended and they went to another commercial break or whatever and hanson stayed out because they taped a commercial to advertise the show...it showed off there 'lovely' acting skills and at that point they said that they weren't going to be on until november 11th...so i don't think they are going to air it till then...anyway, everyone screamed during the break out to their favorite hanson...i was ready to kill the girls in front of me because their screams where soooo high pitched!!! then they sat on the really small couch while howie talked to alex kingston...they had to squish onto the small couch while howie talked to her...isaac sat next to her and tried to flirt the entire time, of course and that was funny...

then another commercial and then hanson played!!!! howie got in the audience near where i was sitting and had their live cd that i kept yelling out that i was going to kill him for. he said that hanson was playing and the whole audience went crazy....they played "Gimme Some Lovin" without the "Shake Your Tailfeather" part in the middle and it was really good....i love that song when they played it at the concert and it was so great seeing them even closer and singing that....then while they where on another commercial break, they started playing one of their christams songs (i can't remember which one!!) but taylor only played a little bit of it on the keyboards, so it wasn't too exciting....

then they came back to close the show and howie thanked his guests and gave zac a nintendo playstation for his birthday and they went out with some more of "Gimme Some Lovin"...they finished and then they said they had to do it again becuase they made a mistake. taylor said it wasn't our fault, it was their's, but as we all know, hanson can do no wrong...so they did it again..nobody was complaining....howie thanked his guests and gave zac the playstaion again and they talked a little more this time...howie said that the video came out yesterday and we all where like, 'what???'..then we realized that this wasn't going to air until nov.11, so i guess the video doesn't come out till the 10th, which is a tues, so it does make some sense...so they played again and they did better, you could tell something was off when they did it the first time...so the show ended, or so we thought...they had to tape some more promos and we got to sit and watch...every time hanson moved someone would scream, so having the entire audience quiet was going to take some work...

hanson left and a video camera went back stage and then we could see zac making funny faces at us through the frosted glass howie has on stage and we all screamed...then the director or whoever came out and told us that they have to get this tape of hanson and we all had to be very quiet...do you know how hard it it to keep about 200 hanson fans quiet while they made funny faces at us through that glass? almost impossible, but somehow we did it....it was a miracle, that should be put in the book of records for hanson...then they came out and waved one more time and then left...most people there had presents for zac so the pages took them as we left and i hope he got them...my friends and i gave him a pornstar t-shirt!!! anyway, that was day at howie...any questions or whatever, email me at hansonfiles@yahoo.com
