PEORIA - "American Idol" fans from across central Illinois caught the "McPheever" or enlisted in the "Soul Patrol" Sunday night.

"This is a big show for us," said Debbie Ritschell, general manager of the Civic Center. "We were sold out the first day!"

"I was at Season 3 and Season 4's concerts and this is my third 'American Idol' concert this season," said Jennifer Valley, 25, of Minneapolis, whose favorites include Chris Daughtry and Ace Young.

Brenna Lore, 24, of Chicago is also an Ace fan.

"I work part time at a candy store and save all my money to come to this," said Lore, who has Young's name tattooed across her wrist.
