Schon shined on the rideout solo, first playing it straight like trie recording before branching out and tak- ing it somewhere new. As the band launched into "Faithfully ," several females in the front rows held up handmade signs directed at Cas- tronovo, who was to celebrate his birthday the next day. Castronovo, who was singing lead on the song, couldn't help but laugh when he read the messages, causing him to bungle a line or two in the opening verse. It was a fun moment, and made more so once the rest of the audience could read the signs when they were shown on the big screen monitor. The messages claimed to be from wife, asking him to marry her again in Las Vegas which, as it turns out, was n Daniels, Lifetime entertainment president. "Sometimes you have to wait until you've got the right ending. But you've got the right ending she wins." Her life holds lessons she wants to share with young viewers and adults, said Barrino, now 22. The movie, based on her book "Life is Not a Fairy Tale,' tells of a shattering rape and the despair of being a marginally educated,-unweteenage mom.

Def Leppard also spread some love around with a rollicking headline show that had crowd on the its feet most of the night. It had been more than three and a half years since the British band last performed before a Utah audience, but the extended absence was quickly forgiven. Def Leppard opened with "Let's Get Rocked," an invitation the crowd could not resist for the ensuing 90 minutes. Lead singer Joe Elliott was in fine voice and led the band through a bevy of hits that defined the 1980s, including "Bringin' on the Heartbreak," ,"Foolin'," "Hysteria," "Photograph" and "Armageddon It." The band played two songs off its current covers album, Badf inger's "No "Yeah" Matter What" and the old David Essex classic "Rock On." The latter song was one of the show's clear highlights. It was preceded by Rick Savage's bass solo, which culminated in the quirky thumping intro to "Rock On." Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell complement each other perfectly on guitars, sliding effortlessly between often rhythm and lead parts in the very same song. Collen is the more natural showman, near-capacit- y strutting and preening shirtless throughout the entire e show. Campbell, the Whitesnake guitarist, is more understated, but no less talented The pair's abilities were highlighted during an extended version of "Rocket," which featured a segment where the two guitarists performed dueling solos back and forth over a pounding backbeat provided by Savage and drummer Rick one-tim- Allen. As usual, Allen's drumbeats signaled the beginning to "Rock of Ages," the band's standard main-se- t closer. That was followed up with the one-tw- o encore punch of "Love Bites" and "Pour Some Sugar on Me," which brought to a close a splendid evening of classic rock and roll. tours like Huge this bill offer their own conundrum for rock fans. Certainly, seeing two bands the caliber of Journey and Def Leppard on the same stage is an opportunity not to be missed. But, on the flip side, longtime fans can't help but notice the shortened setlists, with an emphasis on shoehorning every possible hit into an hour and change on stage. Journey and Def Leppard both did as well as could be expected with those challenges Wednesday night. There's music and a message in Fantasia's TV biopic presents the 4-1- ' Encore 1.

Journey is probably most recognized by casual fans for we're talking its hit ballads' ' "Open Arms" and Faithfully" here but those who dig deeper into the band's catalog are rewarded with some material. It's there ged where one begins to truly get a sense of how talented Schon is on guitar. , Even that can't compare with seeing him perform live, where he makes his lead'solos until you seem effortless notice his fingers flying all over the fret in a flurry of keyboards and guitar, and Castronovo provided the perfect backing template for Schon and Soto to do their thing. Valory, as he usually does, also brought a little humor to his performance by frequently shooting a small stream of water from off his microphone stand into the audience via a Setlists .

"It's an amazing, uplifting story. It's an American dream. It's the kind of story that will inspire so many young people," Allen said. At her Los Angeles-are- a dance academy, she said, she regularly works with youngsters "who need to be inspired or who need confirmation for their dreams, or guidance."

Lifetime gained the use of clips from "American Idol," showing Barrino's 2004 victory and her powerful performance of the classic tune "Summertime," which she believes brought the audience into her camp. There are dramatic liberties. A scene that suggests she was pressured to quit "American Idol" because she had a daughter outside marriage (Zion, now 5), is an interpretation of how she felt, Barrino said. "It didn't go down like that," she said. The show's producers, whom she said "cared about me and believed in me," wanted her to know that the Internet was abuzz with negative postings and suggested she consider being less candid. "I thought about that after they told me. I said, 'They , might be right. Do I want to lie now because I want it so bat, or is this an opportunity to say, yes, I've done that.but look at what I'm trying to do now.'"
