Reunion Pool Party @ The BVP
The first pool party was on Friday, with DJ Don Bishop spinning. As well attended as Jump Start was the night prior, there still weren't enough boys who had arrived yet to really pack this party, but that was nothing out of the ordinary from years's past.Don did play a nice mix of some old and new stuff throughout, before going a bit harder and more circuitry the last hour or so. |
Erin Hamilton came out about half way through and performed her new smash hit "Control Yourself" (summer anthem alert!) and "The Flame".
The rest of the pool parties kicked a** and reached more of the critical mass typical of these events, but more on the pool parties later.
Reunion II - Saturday
The next event was the second pool party, where DJ David Knapp spun a fun, upbeat set, and really brought on a peak hour vibe that reminded me more of a night set. It was skewed a bit more toward current pop hits than Don Bishop's set, but that was fine. A classic or two was still thrown in for good measure, most memorably, Amber's "Sexual". It was a beautiful sunny day, the boys looked great, and the pool was refreshing. |

What more could you ask for? How about Jeanie Tracey you say? Bring on the woman in pink! Her enthusiasm really showed in her energetic delivery of her classics like "Party People", "Everybody Up", and "Cha Cha Cha Heels".
Reunion III - Sunday
Now, we have come to the last day. I thought DJ Phil B
played a nice set at the pool party, and it seemed a toss-up as to whether
it was more crowded that day or for David Knapp on Saturday. Debby Holiday's
live performance was well received, and she did the most numbers out
of all of the pool party performers. I was a bit disappointed that she
didn't sing "Dive", her breakthrough hit that Chris Cox turned out back
in 2004. Oh, well. But, her cover of "Surrender Me", that had just been
released a few weeks prior to this event, was AMAZING!! This lady knows
how to work the crowd, and the boys loved her. Jeanie Tracy is the perennial
favorite for sure, but I would go hear Debby Holiday sing anytime.
