HUGE recap of concert + meeting Adam in Little Rock! With pictures and videos!
Okay, first off, I had this whole thing all typed out, and then accidentally lost the whole thing. Wow, I was pissed. So I’m sorry I’m late putting this up. =(
Second off, since I’ve been on vacation for this whole last week, I’ve had no internet, and therefore missed out on ALL Adam updates. If anybody could post any articles, interviews, videos, etc, from the past week, I would love you forever!
Third, I'm sorry this is so long. But I wanted to say as much as I could so everybody could the see the great experience I have. Pictures and videos are at the bottom if you want to skip to that. =P
Some backstory: The concert was in Little Rock, AR, but I live in Colorado. We had been planning on visiting some family in Missouri, and since Adam wasn’t coming to Colorado, we decided to go to him. On the way to Missouri, about 700 miles from home, my dad remembered that he had forgotten the tickets, which prompted a mental breakdown from me. Luckily, we were able to print them off again. Vacation was fun, but the whole time I was just looking forward to the concert.
So on Saturday, we start the 3 ½ hour car ride to Little Rock, leaving at about 11:30, so we weren’t able to get there in time to see the buses pull in. After finding where the buses were located, we park and go walking the streets to find somewhere to eat while I was dressed in dark skinny jeans, huge white shoes, my Glambert t-shirt (Pic below), absolutely covered in glitter, and my hair was sprayed blue. Boy did I look out of place walking the streets in Arkansas. It was funny, though I was drawing some stares. =P After eating, we left to go back to the arena. It was around 5 at this point. We go back to the buses so we know how to get there from the front of the arena after the show. There was a huge line of people waiting outside to get in, and they were 90-95% Kris fans. So I was getting even more stares, haha. Eventually we get in line and get inside. I see a couple of Adam fans here and there, and I compliment every Adam shirt I can. It was like a game, to see who can see the next Adam fan. =P After we get some food, we take our seats, which were Row 14, floor seats.
Here’s the view from our seats:
Here’s the view of me with my sign:

I was nervous about not being able to see over everybody’s heads, but honestly, I could see almost perfectly. Once the Ford music videos start, my sis and I scream every time Adam shows up, but it was a squeak compared to screams for Kris. But there was still a good amount of Adam fans there, surprisingly. The place was packed!
Finally, the concert starts. I thought Sarver, Megan, and Scott were boring. Lil, Anoop, and Matt were good. Intermission. The show was pretty fast-paced, which was good. I was pretty excited at this point, because Adam is coming up soon. Allison is up, and she is great. I love all the songs in her set. Danny is up, and I’m super excited now, because Adam is up right after him! Danny sings his songs what seems like very slowly. Yawn.
After his last song ends, the lights go out. I’m freaking out at this point. I make sure my parents are ready to the record on the camera. Then, Adam’s intro starts. I start screaming like a maniac, and the people in front of me plug their ears and give me dirty looks. I don’t care. There’s no way I would ever go to an Adam concert and not scream my butt off. Then, Adam walks out and there he is! Omg! I am screaming like crazy and jumping up and down and waving my glow stick and I’m just amazed. He was definitely not toned down for Arkansas. He did the mic stand stroking and everything. He sang baby, but that was to be expected. He was just amazing. After WLL, he says something like “I know you are all here just for Kris, but I’ll try my best,” and starts laughing. I wanted to yell out “I’m here only for you, Adam!” but I didn’t, lol. Then Starlight begins and he takes us into a whole other world. His voice is BEAUTIFUL. There’s no way to describe it…it’s something you have to experience live to fully comprehend. Then Mad World starts, and it’s haunting. The WHOLE arena is singing along, which was amazing. I wave my glow stick. Slow Ride starts, and I don’t even glance at Allison, my eyes were focused on Adam the whole time. I continue jumping and screaming, and I continue to keep dirty looks from in front of me. Then, the Bowie medley! Oh my gosh! When he took his jacket off, the crowd went wild. His singing was amazing, and his moves were SEXY! I was going completely wild at this point and waving my glow stick like mad. And then, it was over. I knew that it was going to seem short, but it really seemed like the blink of an eye. I wanted more! He was just…there’s no words for it. Amazing, awesome, fabulous, glamtastic. Kris’s intro starts, and the crowd screams for 5 minutes straight. It was so loud that it was painful. And while I like Kris, I just didn’t understand though how people could scream like that for Kris and not Adam…
After Heartless, we left for the buses so we could get a good spot. There were a few people already there, but we were one of the first. We had a great spot! I STRONGLY recommend leaving early if you want a good spot. By some miracle, I ended up next to another Adam fan! So while we waited, we talked about how amazing Adam was and how much we loved the concert. And soon, everybody started rushing to the fences and it was super crowded. There were soooo many people there, VERY long and several people deep, and I was so glad we left early to get a good spot. Then Danny comes out. He hugged my sis, and was very sweet. He looks a lot better in person. Then Michael and Scott come out. Michael comes over and gives my sis and I a hug. He is a sweetie, and I can’t believe the hate for him and Danny here. Allison comes by, and signs my sister’s hand. She was really quiet, but I don’t blame her, she was probably overwhelmed by everybody. She looks a lot skinnier and her hair looks a lot darker in person. Then, we heard some screams. My dad looked over and says, “It’s Adam!!” and I let out the loudest, highest pitch scream I have ever heard in my life. I actually started hyperventilating and my legs were SHAKING all over the place. I see him coming down the line and I’m freaking out. Pic of him walking down the line:
http://i978.photobucket.com/albums/ae262/MissGlambert/Adam%20In%20Little...
He is BEAUTIFUL!!! He was wearing a gray Tshirt, and of course lots of eye makeup, which was amazing. And he was wearing shorts! It was weird seeing him in shorts because he hardly ever wears them. Pic of him even closer:
http://i978.photobucket.com/albums/ae262/MissGlambert/Adam%20In%20Little...
And then, he’s right in front of me! OMG!!! Pic of him right in front of me:
http://i978.photobucket.com/albums/ae262/MissGlambert/Adam%20In%20Little...
I’m freaking out then. I was holding my Glambert poster over the fence, and he grabs it and looks at it and was about to sign it. However, I know that he only signs one thing and so I said “No, please sign my shirt! Inside the heart please!” and I hand him a silver sharpie so it’ll show up on the black shirt. I’m shaking this whole time. I felt like a maniac, haha. I say “Can I have a hug, please?!” Even though I’m pretty sure they aren’t allowed to give hugs. Instead, he put his hand over my hand, which was on the fence, looks me in the eyes and says “Here you go.” I can’t even explain what I felt in that moment. I melted! His eyes…were just amazing. I honestly felt like I could see through his soul by looking in his eyes. I have never seen anything more beautiful. Omg! Adam had touched me! I didn’t touch him, HE touched ME! He moves down the line a step then looks back at me, right in the eyes. “I like your hair, it’s awesome!” he says to me. OMG! I freaked out and shouted very quickly “Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” and he smiles at me. I have never been more ecstatic in my entire life. My head was honestly spinning. I look down and my knees are shaking against each other so hard, and I have to grab onto the fence because otherwise I would’ve fallen over. I’m completely serious. My sister yells, “Adam, you’re our favorite!” and he looks back AGAIN and smiles and blows a kiss to us!!! Here’s a video of the whole thing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvSrH9_I_0I
Then Chris, the Adam fan right next me, looks over at me, and I look at her. We both start realizing what just happened and we both start screaming hysterically. I felt like a complete maniac, and I didn’t even care. We scream in complete and utter joy. Here’s a pic taken moments after he signed my shirt:
http://s978.photobucket.com/albums/ae262/MissGlambert/Adam%20In%20Little...
We continued to stay and meet the other Idols while waiting for Adam to come back (he had to walk in front of us to get to the bus). Finally, he was walking back! This prompted more screams from Chris and I. Everybody stuck their hands out and he gave us all high-fives as he walked back. He was absolutely beautiful. Here’s a pic of me at the moment. Ignore the expression on my face, haha.
http://i978.photobucket.com/albums/ae262/MissGlambert/Adam%20In%20Little...
He is now walking back behind another fence to the bus. I’m yelling, “Adam, I love you! Thank you so much! We love you!” and he looks right back at me and waves! I melt for what feels the millionth time that night! Here’s a pic of him right after he waved at me:
http://i978.photobucket.com/albums/ae262/MissGlambert/Adam%20In%20Little...
And that is the end. =) It was the best day of my life. If you do not have tickets, GET SOME RIGHT NOW. You will not regret it. Even though his set was over in the blink of an eye, it was the most amazing thing ever, and like I said, you have to see him live to fully comprehend everything.

Thank you for sharing it with us! It was almost like being there
the whole meeting experience with adam sounds uhhmazingg!! (not gonna lie ima lil jealous haha) ur sucha lucky lucky girl! I also love your blue hair & the shirt is cute! thanks for reppin our boy in kris territory
I woulda been screamin my head off right there with ya haha!
We're excited about the prospect of a solo tour, aren't we???
Aw, that's too bad. There's always solo tour though..
Wow, those were awesome! I especially love the RS poem!
Hey, thanks!
Don't think I'll get to see the buses off, but I appreciate your account for the vicarious thrills! And yes, it definitely looks sooooooo worthwhile !
(they need a Smiley w/ eyeliner)
If you click on my pic, there are a couple more scintillating attempts at verse - one written in celebration of the Rolling Stone cover & one that's my "Why I'm A Fan" thang. Worth a peek! (...so says me!
)
Anne Hedonia: Thanks! And I love the poem that you wrote. =P Good luck meeting Adam in St. Louis!
The review of your experience and all the vids and stills were fabulous! Thanks so much for sharing! I continue to be impressed with how sweet & kind & appreciative Adam is of his fans. He's always been respectful of everyone (including Simon Cowell - lol!) and treats all people with consideration - that's one of many things that sets him apart from "the ordinary".
And you deserve kudos: you've definitely earned the title of "Mega Fan"! All your love & energy definitely paid off & I'm so happy for you that you got to experience Adam up close & personal!
Don't know how it's possible, but he does seem to get more beautiful as time passes. I hope it's because he's happy experiencing a dream coming true. As you said, he looks like an angel (sometimes a "naughty angel", as one fan put it...but hey, isn't that the best kind?
)
He's my first real serious celebrity crush - and I'm not a kid! Sometimes I wonder what to do with that energy, so mostly I think good, positive thoughts for him and pray for his welfare (tho' I'm not particularly the conventionally religious type.) That, and write silly poetry. When someone gives so much, you kinda want to give back. So I'm going to try to see if I can have flowers (and a silly poem
) delivered backstage when the tour comes to St. Louis in about a month. Anonymously - just as an appreciation thing. Don't yet know if it'll be permitted.
Meanwhile, here's the silliest (and shortest) of poems:
********************
SUBLIMATION
(or Chemistry 101)
I turn from a solid
Into a gas
Each time that I see
His cute little a**
********************
Anyway, Miss Glambert, Thank you again!
What a FANtastic experience you had. I loved the part were he said he loved your hair...you must have died and gone to glambert heaven...I heard it loud and clear in the vid...and he had such a sweet look on his face when he said it...your one lucky girl!!! Great pics and vid..thank you so much for taking the time to share.
btw...that is the first and last time during any of the concerts that Kris has or will get more screams and applause. I went to Tacoma WA show...and have watched vids from ALL the other concerts. It's just because that was Kris's homestate...don't worry Adam usually gets most of all the love!!!!
I love your hair so much! And your shirt -- I absolutely love it!!!!
(i know this was before the stalker, but i hate how he's walking away by himself.)
You've had an experience of a lifetime that you'll always remember. Congratulations! Thanks for sharing it with us.
in his face. In one interview (which one?) he reveals he gets a bit overwhelmed by fan response, basically saying 'they don't have to scream when I am standing right there'. I know it must be exciting to be close to such a heavenly creature, but respectful adoration would suffice.
It is possible this kind of stuff is getting to him even if he does handle it graciously.
your pics and vids are amazing!!!
Hey Chris! So glad you found me on here! Lol yeah it was so much fun. At least you can still watch the video a million times.
OMG that is great! btw this is Chris the crazy Adam fan next to you!!!! i loved reading this!!! its funny that we didnt even meet eachother untill the meet and greet but we felt the same way in so much of the concert!!! i wish that day never ended!!!! im so so glad you got us meeting Adam on video cuz i didnt and now i wish i had!!!!
You were so good at writing the recap that I felt I was there screaming at the stage and at the M&G w/ you. Thanks especially for posting the vids, we were looking high and low for vids from the AR concert but only got chicken scratch (very little and very short clips). So glad you posted to fill the gap. Glad to know you had fun and very happy you get to meet and talk to Adam. What an amazing trip!
It sounds like you had an incredible time. You were totally freaking out, lol. I love it! I'm sure all of us will sound exactly like that at our concerts.
I watched the video a few times...you and your sister are so funny!
thanks for sharing
Stephanie Clason: Yes, I used that poster in the fan video as well. =P
I'm glad everybody is enjoying it! Thanks for all the love!
Such a nice Story! Soooo glad U had a nice time!
Randee
It was so great of you to take the time to go into amazing detail (which we all love). We felt like we were there!!!! I admire your dedication to the cause!!! I am so happy you got to meet him! You deserve all of this awesome, wonderful experience!
they were doing plenty of screaming for Kris. That of course, would have made me scream even louder.
I loved your recap. it was great and the pictures at after show meet and greet were wonderful. Thanks for all the work you did. Time to get ready for Tampa cellcast.
........................I don't know if you've already done this, but I know Hots would love the links to your AR vids in her concert thread..... www.adamofficial.com/node/397044
O
I recognize your poster, did you submit a photo to the fan video?
it sounds like you had an amazing time!
Your pics & videos are wonderful!!

Thanks for sharing...
I really enjoyed reading it. i also liked the pictures you took.
im so glad that you got to meet him, have him signed an autograph and touched your hand as well --- that's awesome!!!
you'r so funny too
Thanks so much for sharing your story. The pictures are wonderful, Adam looked great as usual.
Thanks so much for sharing your Adam experience, & the vids & pics too!! Wow, sounds like you had a truly AWESOME time!! I hope I'm able to meet him too! Believe me, I'll go just as crazy as you did, if he's that close to me!! I know he said he doesn't like it when fans scream right next to him, so I'll try hard to control myself, but I just don't know if I'll be able to!! He is going to turn me into a pile of MUSH!!
Thank You Sweets for sharing your heart melting experience with Adam....I had a similar "encounter" with The Dark Lord in San Diego and Dallas and I can tell you the moment he looks into your eyes and gives you the Adam Smile, all sense of reality leaves you, your mind and body turn into quivering ooze and you realize right then and there that you've just experienced the meaning of pure joy....
This was such a great recap. Not to mention your hair looks amazing! Congrats on interacting with Adam, lucky duck!
Hey, I've reprinted your recap on The Singapore Glamberts website! You can see it here: http://tinyurl.com/nxtjex
Glad to read your re-cap. I'm glad he got a good reception in LR. I posted my Dallas experience under the Texas thread in the Community section. Maybe I should start a thread with it. I got his autograph and a chance to actually talk to him as well after the show at the barricades. It was amazing. I felt like for one minute it was just me and Adam, all the other people just faded out for those moments that he and I had eye contact. It was crazy good.
I agree if folks are holding out for when he does his solo thing, that they should just get a ticket and go to this show. The other Idols really are really much better live, the energy of the people at the show is mostly really great and Adam is simply amazing. It's worth the money, the drive, everything. Just get there.
sounds like you had an amazing time! thanks for posting!
it`s so great.
Adam likes cool hair. He always seems to comment on hair.
thanks for sharing that with us!
You are so lucky!
Adam is so sweet and he really appreciates his fans <3
ALfann: Yes, they are amazing parents.
They were Adam fans, but not anywhere near as big of a fan as I am. They were more going for me than themselves, lol.
This is a well written piece. Thanks for posting. It is so great that there were Adam fans in LR. So happy that you guys get to watch him perform. It must be awesome.
You are soooo lucky
Your recap is very well written. I didn't intend to read it all but once I got started you had me hooked. A great description of a wonderful, exciting experience and the photos and video are awesome. I felt like I was there with you.
I was wondering about your Mom and Dad. They seem like great parents. Are they Adam fans too or were they just going along with you and your sister? If they weren't fans before the concert, what did they think of Adam's performance?
Thanks again.
Aw, you guys are all welcome! <3 I'm so happy that you guys are enjoying my recap. It certainly was an amazing experience.
To whoever asked, I was in Row 14, floor seats. And yes, anybody who wants to reprint my recap is free to do so.
I love your recap. For us, international fans, is so important that you share your joy with all of Adam fans... You rock girl!! I can´t wait to see him some day. And i will !! LOL
I went to 3 shows but no time to write for review.
