I am so broken hearted that we are continually talking about the other Idols on the main discussion board and not in the OT, and now we have all this negative energy in here.

This should be a positive place to share our thoughts and hearts with Adam.

This is how I felt after seeing Adam in concert. He has forever changed me, he is now in my heart. If you went to the concert and could only concentrate on something that he should not be doing that I think there are some other idols for you.

Adam has completely moved me and changed me and for that I am greatful. It is just enough to see him, nothing else is really needed.

It should be an honor to see him live, after that every experience is a gift.

thank you to the wonderful Kitchen Knights that shared in this with us, although we were not there together you were all their in our hearts.

THE CONCERT, THE MUSIC, THE ROCKSTAR

This is my concert experience, upon meeting up with the lovely Feet and hanging around like groupies I couldn't relax right away because I was anxiously awaiting the person with whom I had actually WON my ticket to go to the concert from. She was holding a contest looking for a fan that would be just as excited as she was to go, I originally saw her post but never responded but one night she posted something and on the spur of the moment I wrote to her not ever thinking I would win, just because I wanted to tell her how Adam had changed my life and what he meant to me.
Here is what I wrote:
Well Adam has truly turned my life upside down. I have bought Glam Rock shirts, painted nails black, where slept in eyeliner, listen to music at full blast, spent countless hours lusting after his greatness.
I thought I was this boring suburban house wife, and that I was done with all that "stuff" but low and behold along came Adam. He has made life fun again, he has made me smile everyday. I adore that man and everything he stands for. I try to instill those values into my own as well as live by them everyday.
I used to judge the teens you see walking down the street that are "different' but now I realize they are probably alot better off. There is so many dreams I never went after and so much left unfinished. With Adam and his amazing gift I realize that this is time to get up and start getting out of my comfort zone and that is why I am writing you.
I saw your original post and thought Oh I would never do that, that is a stranger. But Adam makes us reach out, and as he is a gift that is what we get when we ourselves reach out and put ourselves out there.
I was not going to the concert, I am currently not working enjoying being a mom and having the time of my life discovering the cougar in me. I wanted to wait until he came on his own because as much as I love him I didn't want to "ruin" it, somehow burst the bubble.
Unless you are an Adam fan and have been touched by him it is hard to go to a concert and understand his power and greatness. I do not know anyone who could go there and get caught up with their inner 14 year old and just be in the moment as giddy as a school girl. That is how Adam makes me feel and when I think of seeing him in concert I want to uninhibited and allowed to not me a mother, or a wife just to be a Fan of Adam because I get it his magic has rubbed off on me. I have been touched by his stardust and I don't ever want to loose the magic feeling I have had for the last 6 months. I finally feel alive and live my life with far more purpose and joy then I have in years, yes it is hard to explain how someone you have never met can do this to you but he has.
If you are an Adam fan voluptuosa you will understand the magic of Adam and understand the words I have written here.
I hope regardless you have an awesome time at the concert and if I am not in the seat beside you please give him a big teenage shout out for me from your inner school girl.
Sincerely,
Adamrules

So not only did I gain a ticket but V and I have emailed back and forth and we were thrilled and excited
to finally meet up and then to add to all my excitement I got to see this energetic spitfire witty poster named feetchick show up in my kitchen and upon talking around the table we realized we both lived near one another and we were both going to the concert.
Since that moment feetchick is now just FEET she is the person you want to share the Adam stuff with, she is the one you hope will burst open the door and get the room on high alert about all things Adam and she was the one I was lucky enough to be standing outside waiting for Adam to come with.
After Sarver went inside I was getting anxious because I didnt want V to miss Adam and she had been so generous to me I wanted her to be with us. Well low and behold an hour before she was expected to arrive my phone rings, and it is her and she says I'm here, Im like the ferry just got in, and she say NO I am here standing in a crowd of people where there is 2 semi trucks. Sure enough upon looking to my right there is my seat mate standing there talking on her phone. So now the ring is complete, we can relax and enjoy and await seeing Adam.
After standing there for hours it was decided that we must hurry back and get ready, and I am talking about an hour to change and arrive back and seated. So just before we are about to leave moutain whisper shows up and we have added another friend into our mix.
Flat iron flying, black everywhere, no time to paint nails, throw glitter in everyones hair and we are off like cheetah's moving in for our kill. We can feel our heart pumping as we get out into the air in 10 minutes we will be walking up to the gates and be readying ourselves for the performance of a lifetime. Feet and her niece leave with glowsticks in hand to try and grab food. V and I opt for arena food, so that we can get onto the floor before it starts.
We settle in and look at each other going this is it are you sooo excited, oh my goodness its going to take so long. But alas we have seen the bottom 6, and we know when the lights go up for intermission that we have almost embarking on the journey we have waited months for.
Allison opens and makes us realize that there is someone out there that can perform and move an audience. She leaves us wanting more, she is the rock star in the making, she is been sprinkled with the magical star dust that only ONE can possess.
The one who shall remain unnamed takes what feels like an hour, honestly I didn't think it will ever stop you can see the ever growing anxiety in the crowd. After one final attempt to move his audience he vanishes into the dark.
The huge screen flashes the numbers for the countdown that the whole audience has been waiting for.
My arms had goosebumps, there was a lump in my throat, as I realized this is no longer idol
he is not coming on to my TV set or monitor as each number leads me closer to seeing him. Each flash of his picture reminding us all that we are about to witness a ROCK STAR. We are on our feet, i have left to try and get video from another angle everyone is trying to sneak up with me. The grandmas that we had been giving glow sticks to during intermission are standing up on their seats just to catch a glimpse, they have seen Elvis and The Beatles but yet their daughters are so quick to share "I have never seen my mom like this in my life, they tell us they are in their 70s, and look at them. Oh with age we become wise and we know you have to capture the moment, so with glitter in their hair and glowsticks waving in the air standing proudly shouting ADAM's name from atop their seats he arrives.
We know that song, we have listened to it thousands of times over and over and watched that video squeezing every bit of love from it. We know all the places where the snarl should be but yet when his voice radiates around the arena this is not my tv and this is no longer idol. This is a superstar and I am hearing his voice radiate throughout all of Vancouver, each time he sings WLL his head sassing back to see that he is the bad boy behind the song. He really is every thing you have dreamed of and hoped for. He is commanding the stage from his first note showing you his body and everything he can do with it, strutting in that beautiful jacket that he has talked so proudly of his voice could not be more crystal like a rare diamond. We are knowing that we are getting closer we know that just the other night he sang WOMAN, which one has he saved for Vancouver will we get Baby or Woman. He is not going to just answer your question though he is going to make you work for it. His face grows coy and he puts that little finger up and starts edging you near, he puts his finger to his ear and he waits patiently for the roar and thunder of the crowd aching for what is to come and finally it is soooo much more then we could have expected. It is so visual...with mic stand firmly thrust in between his crotch and his hand running up and down carressing it like every woman and man wants to be carressed by him and his beauty he slowly gives you all wait you have waited for BABY YOU NEED.......A whole lotta LOVE. Everyone needs to grab onto the back of the chair in front of them they are mesmorized and satisfied that what we have waited so long for was now so much greater then anything we could have expected.
He stomps around the stage and shows you over and over that he is the reason you voted every week, you can openly see how much he enjoys entertaining you. Every detail has been scrutinized and planned, he is there to entertain you and take you on a journey that will hopefully last until his solo concert. His voice never leaves its raw beauty all while he plays with you encouraging everyone to loosen up and have fun. Live your life with meaning and passion, there is no room here in this arena for reservations.
STARLIGHT is about to start with all of your expectations filtering around the room
As he opens his vocals are so beautiful and realize that you have watched him for 6 months and you believe that you know his voice and his capabilities and talent. But alas as we have come to always know about Adam we should never put boundaries on someone so Talented. Adam is the chameleon with his clothes, his music, his hair, his style. The only thing we have ever seen that stays the same is the person behind the syle and music. The vocals are so gorgeous and alluring and haunting. You question his voice, staring could it really be him singing? His voice is eerie, and mystical and you can feel his passion and connection to the song floating above you. He takes you into his web, as he has done many times before leading you to the chorus. As you stare at him still standing and waving your arms in the air he is proving to you that infact his unique talent and vocals are so unique that you begin to tingle down your spine and go breathless as his falsetto brings you passionately and satisfied to the end of starlight.
He interacts more with us, telling us how he loves us all and always thanking his fans. He introduces Allison and calls her back out, always the eye of fashion he makes sure the audience appreciates her new wardrobe change.
It is now his time to change his persona, from the centre of the attention to sharing the stage. He becomes playful with the audience enjoying the energy of our admiration and joy and enjoying singing his duet with Allison. For every awesome and extraordinary note that he sings for us, is matched with humbleness and generosity and it is never more apparent then him sharing the stage with Allison. When he rolls those hips during "roll all night" the audience is in collective awe and feel like we have just seen something so sinfully delightful the red bra arrives on stage. Allison never missing the beat tosses it with her sassy black boots his way he bends down and as if it was a planned prop times his overhead swinging perfectly with the lyrics of the song before tossing it back to the audience in which it came. Every moment on stage is spent engaging the audience bringing you into his world. His body is never still, he is entertaining you with his eye candy and movements some subtle and some just plain sexy. The fire and smoke end the wonderful slow journey we have been allowed to witness between Allison and Adam.
Mad World the song we heard over and over and the Bowie Medley.
The audience sees the chair and knows what they are about to expect, they know that he is going to give us the same song that we have grown so comfortable with. He looks out with the hauntingly blue lighting and puts out that beautiful hand welcoming you into his world and starts to sing. The audience that had just relaxed a minute ago are suddenly straightening themselves out a bit more they perk up standing on tip toes trying to see him and catch a glimpse because although we know this song has been sung so many times before we once again denied putting expectation on our Adam. The beat is faster the vocals are a little less eery and a little more passionate and strong. It is a noticable difference, and you can hear the judges in your head make the song your own. But how does one make their own song their own and put a new twist on a classic. Well when you are Adam anything is obtainable for his audience. The visuals of the screens around the arena are beautiful and you soak in your time with him in his mad world watching him on the full length teletron is spectacular, the audience is swaying back and forth feeling the song deep within their souls, just as he shows us his very soul every time he sings.
Finally, the air in the arena changes people are restless because you realize that with all of the excitement the time has all too quickly flown by and it is now time for him to embark on his final song. He stands in the middle of the stage channeling his inner Bowie, a man who has been an idol of his for so long. As the music starts to play and his voice grows stronger, his foot begins to tap to the music. Making you comfortable and at peace until the moment that his voice rises higher and higher until you are screaming, it fills the entire arena with no place left untouched until you think you can't take it anymore. It is the time, the time that he strips that gorgeous jacket and rips it from his body, throwing it with a thrust of the wrist. We watch it land ever so gently, like the prized possession it really is. As the audience stares in amazement, you are seeing that the infamous black tank top you have come to adore has been covered with a sexy sparkly vest. His hips begin to roll and he sings Fame. When he puts his arms out to his sides, opening himself up vulnerable, you see him THE SUPERSTAR, the performer, the musician. The veil of idol has been removed and he is no longer needing to be the PG13 performer that has to keep a close eye on his left hand and unforgiving hips. There is little doubt now, a few exchange looks we know from reading the boards that there is no way that he DOES NOT. Everything that we thurst for from the leather pants, to the thrusting sexual hips, and grabbing that mic stand amongst other things and showing us that he is so much more then we had ever written about or talked about. He is toying with us, swinging those beautiful bare arms in the air, pumping them up as Lets Dance begins to play. The crowd is now on overload we are sweaty and hot and tired and moved. We have been taken on a journey of our emotions and feelings, some sexual, some passionate and some private. We are all turned on to the glittery dark lord, it is SO HOT in that stadium, until the seen we have all tried so hard to forget, the spaceship has landed and the door has opened and our glittery alien must return to his castle. He yells a final I love you Vancouver, reminding us that his voice, his music, and his soul will never be lost on his audience. We will take his charm and his confidence and his sass, and his unforgiving sexuality with us to carry with us in our own hearts, as he has shared his with us.

Well it is 1:30am just got in the door
What an amazing Night.
After waiting all those hours for him today after the show he was first out. When he came out people started to scream (picture Elvis) where people would be practically passing out.
Neil is right he is not human, when he came around the corner it was something you will never see again, like a comet he is larger than life he is beautiful (so much more beautiful then TV) and although seeing him perform was spectacular truly seeing him in person is an experience I will never forget.
I now understand why professional media have a hard time interviewing him both men and women because he is so ICONIC it is not like anyone on the planet. There will never be another Adam he is the most unique and mystifying and soulful person I have ever seen. You could be Madonna or Bowie or president, but he makes you step back and stops you dead in your tracks in awe. He truly makes you gasp, without realizing you are doing it.
HE slowly got through the crowd to the farthest end, and he stood and smiled and said thank you to every single person. He spent so much time with each step he took trying to be there for everyone. There was not one place where he didnt speak, smile, laugh or wink at everyone. If you ever hear he is a DIVA people are lying. He was soo patient, and so REAL after seeing the cast of clowns this afternoon with their egos and personas (less Scott) he has none of this he is so accessible and genuine and sincere and you know you are talking to the "real Adam" unlike the others where you are getting "entertainment" while they work the crowd and are not sincere, nice yes but now the real them. He looked every single person in the eye and tried to reach as far back as he could for pictures etc to sign he never ever rushed and he made you feel like you had all day.
It was truly like being intimate with him one on one in a crowd of a thousand people.
The whole time he was there everyone screamed ADAM ADAM and we LOVE YOU ADAM and Vancouver Loves YOu or just screamed. They never let up and they did it together. In between was OMG OMG OMG!!
When he was finally done and the next ones came out (he was first) we stood back and just watched awhile soaking it all in, there was not one shout of a name all the idols had their turn and you never knew from the crowd who was there. A couple of hoots out but pretty reserved but when Adam was there the energy goes up farther then the space shuttle can reach, he brings you into the magic of his world and you feel like you have truly left this world for another.
