Kevin (a.k.a. “The Guy Who Gives Great Hugs”), the open mic app runner-up from New York just sent in this story about his experience meeting Kelly at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Check out his story below!

"Hi, this is me Kevin, and my girl Kate, we got to meet Kelly before her show at The Hammerstein Ballroom. You hear so many horror stories about meeting celebrities, this is not one of them. When I downloaded Kelly’s Open Mic iphone app...I would've never guessed I would ever have a chance to win and let alone meet her at all. I still don't believe I won. Meeting Kelly was amazing enough but, seeing her perform was the icing on the cake. Kate and I will never forget it. Kelly was so sweet! I wish I could have just sat and talked with her all night. Thanks for giving a true fan the chance to have his wildest dreams come true.
